Top 5 Best Steam Mops

Welcome to GetMojo, we do the research so you don’t have to! In this video, we’re offering our picks for the 5 best steam mops on the market.

Everyone loves a clean floor - and while carpet cleaners grab a lot of the headlines, steam mops are also champions of the cleaning world. But like any other household accessory, trying to find the best one to buy can be very confusing. So, to help you decide which steam mop is right for you, we’ve sifted through numerous website and consumer reviews to present our 5 recommended products. Okay, first up.

Although this mop comes well-equipped with numerous cleaning pads, and is capable of lifting all sorts of stains off surfaces, the reason it’s our front runner pick is because of how effortless it is to use. Not only does it offer a 23-foot long power cord, but the maneuverability of its head is second to none. Add to that its simple functionality and its lightweight construction, and this product makes steam mopping floors as easy as vacuuming. And it’s incredibly affordable too!

Almost as simple to use and manoeuvrable as the Bissell model, this Shark mop gets points for its intelligent mop head-changing methodology. If you’ve used a steam mop, then you’ll know that changing the head when it's hot and wet can be a pain. This Shark model stamps a lot of the annoyance out - firstly by having a reversible mop head, meaning you can use both sides of each one before having to switch, and by offering a smart system that allows you to change the mop head without actually having to handle it. You simply flip the old mop head off, and pop a new one on.

If you frequently tackle large floor spaces and want to get as much mileage out of a water tank before having to fill it up, then Dupray might just have the solution. Although slightly pricier than other mops on this list, the Dupray Neat Steam Cleaner boasts a 54 oz water tank which allows for up to 50 minutes of cleaning time between refills. It also comes equipped with an 18-piece accessory kit to ensure you have all the right tools for the job - including those that’ll have you cleaning fabrics, toilets and even ovens.

This mop can do pretty much everything. In fact, it’s much more than a mop. Thanks to its vast array of attachments - including a tile grout cleaner and numerous microfiber mop pads - this Light ‘N’ Easy mop equips you for pretty much any cleaning job, including upholstery. Its real ace in the hole however is its detachable handheld steamer, which adds extra flexibility when tackling tight areas - much like the liftaway function you see on vacuum cleaners. The handheld steamer can even be used to steam wrinkles out of clothes.

Before we reveal our last pick, here are a few other great steam mops that are worth a look:

Coffee and wine stains are one thing, but there’s no denying that the myriad of stains left by our pets can be a nuisance. Enter Bissell’s pet steam mop and vacuum cleaner. On top of its hands free tank emptying system, and the fact that you can use disposable pads with it, for when stains are particularly messy, this Bissell model can mop and vacuum simultaneously. If you’ve got a pet, this effectively cuts your job in half. Instead of having to pick up dust, fur and crumbs before mopping, this model does it for you, and steam cleans at the same time.

So which steam mop should you choose? Well, that depends. Are you simply wanting to quickly flick through the kitchen, or do you want to clean the entire house? If you’re after the former, then you can’t go wrong with the Bissell PowerFresh - it’s just so simple to use. However, if you want an all-encompassing steam mop, then Light ‘N’ Easy’s Multifunctional model is about as all-encompassing as it gets.
