At our condo in Seattle, fairies magically clean the floor.
At our cabin in Montana - the miles and miles of hardwood, tile, and laminate flooring are cleaned by yours truly (okay, okay - I "clean" them and Ed cleans them).
Therefore about a month ago, with all that hard labor looming on the horizon, I decided to pick up a Bissell Steam Mop.
After taking it for a test drive last weekend, I can attest it works as advertised. The mop was easy to put together and fill, heated up in less than a minute, and worked wonders on the floors without a chemical cleaner. I'm telling you - there was some nasty-dirty-gunk on those floors, and my steamy new toy cleaned it up with little effort.
One other positive - the mop uses very little water to clean, so you don't have to worry about damaging/warping your hardwood.
Note: if you want to seal your floors after cleaning and give it a shiny gloss - check out Pledge FutureShine Floor Finish.
