OMG life will never be the same
posted by Emma on May 31, 2009 06:08 PM
I was all ready to post a slightly sarky post about a new device I bought last week, but I thought I'd try it out first to give you a rounded review. It is, ladies and gentlemen, a steam mop. I was going to talk wryly about how I was taking my dedication to steampunk a bit too far, har har, but then I switched it on. And mopped.
And I am telling you the truth when I say that my heart skipped a beat and I realised, then, that life would never be the same. In as long as it takes to do a not very thorough hoover, my floors are steamed to a sterile gleam. Plus it sounds a bit like the Enterprise powering up. Also: steam! Great billowing clouds of the stuff.
I heartily recommend that you acquire such a device, as soon as you can. Life enhancing, truly.
Steam mop!
(Yes, I know I am sad. But clean floors are good for the soul.)

Bless. I still wax lyrical about my first run over the carpets with a Dyson...

Bless you, Emma, for your steam-mopping enthusiasm. Do you want to come round to my place for a cup of tea and a quick whisk round?
I have a steam cleaner (not a mop) and yes, I loved it when it first arrived here. I steamed my carpets, my hard floors, my curtains, my shower enclosure (for god's sake). I don't any more.
No reason other than I realised I was steaming my whole house into submission and that no matter how much I steamed it, things were still untidy, the wrong colour, and far too tatty.
Now my kitchen has drifts of dog-hair in the corners and there appears to be a compost-heap developing under the table; the boys' bedroom is far too dangerous to go into; and the shower cubicle seems to be supporting its own (rampant) ecosystem.
I would love to revisit those early steam-cleaner days but fear it's too late for me. Make the most of your steam-mopping honeymoon, won't you?

Does your steam mop do carpets as well as floors & what's the price?
