Perverts…I know what you thought…
We had a shindig at our house this weekend in celebration of Mother’s Day. Â It seems like we only clean our house once each quarter…either that or we have two kids who are messy and don’t mind leaving their stuff all over the place. Â Anyhow, we had to straighten up and do the usual cleaning stuff. Â With the zoo full of animals that now live with us, we also needed to do a good solid mopping of the wooden floors. Â We usually use a mop and vinegary water. Â That works well but the house is aromatic to say the least. Â I refer to the smell in unkind terms which I will spare you. Â Vinegar is nice and all, but I prefer it in smaller doses.
Anyhow, I was talking to my mom awhile back and she mentioned steam mops. Â She saw some demo on the home shopping channel (you know those old people…they always check that and the weather channel before going out for the early-bird 4pm supper) Â She has been thinking about getting one since seeing the demo. Â I, of course, am interested in one-upping my parents whenever possible so we bought one a few weeks ago. Â I read some reviews online and searched for the proper color that would best highlight my skin-tone. Â Finally, we decided on the Eureka Enviro Steamer.
Steam mops are nice because they clean using only…steam! Â There is no need to use any chemicals or detergents. Â Depending on how you use them (and which brand you get), they will sanitize floors too. Â We are very happy with the one we got and it does a great job of cleaning the floors.
Our hootenanny was a success and we didn’t all smell like we had been canning pickles all day when the party was over…I love you steam mop!
