Best Steam Mops in the UK

For those who have large houses with different types of floors, we recommend turning towards the Shark S6005UK. This steam mop, including all of its joints and moving parts, is made of a combo of strong aluminium and high-quality plastics and can stand up to the heavy, daily use and hard conditions. Let's take a closer look at the unit.

First things first, the mop is very easy to set up. You will just need to attach the handle to the body using a flat-headed screwdriver. The floor tool comes pre-assembled and easily clicks into place, so you can start cleaning the floors as soon as you add some water into the steamer.

When it comes to the water tank, the S6005UK is supplied with a generous-sized 500 ml reservoir that provides up to 10 minutes of continuous operation depending on the setting you choose. At the same time, it heats up pretty quickly needing 30 seconds tops, which is surprising given the tank size. Speaking of the functionality, the mop features two automatic steam modes and the Steam Boost feature that will allow you to break down even the most stubborn dirt patches without a hassle.

Next, it's worth noting that the cleaner comes with two Dirt Grip cleaning pads. This is convenient since you will have an option to use the spare one every now and then, instead of spending time waiting until the original one dries after you wash it. When it comes to cleaning abilities, the Dirt Grip floor pads truly shine in this aspect. Because they can be flipped over, you can double the cleaning efficiency of the unit and sanitise larger areas per one go.

Besides the floor clothes, the package includes a small floor pocket tool that will let you reach tight areas, an accessory hose and a concentrator, a steam blast scrubber, a copper brush, and a steam crevice tool. Also, the handheld unit can be separated from the main body for a convenient multi-surface cleaning. All of this makes the Shark S6005UK a very respectable choice for large houses with different surfaces that need some serious sanitising.

There are tons of steam cleaners out there, and if you don't know where to start, we recommend you to consider the H2O HD Steam Mop. It's a well-balanced model that is available at a reasonable price and comes with a good variety of attachments making it perfect for most of your steam cleaning needs. With it, you'll be able to sanitise your floors, kitchen counters, ovens, hobs, sinks, taps, shower screen, tiles, toilets, windows, mirrors, BBQs and even de-wrinkle garments and drapes.

Made with a 1500-watt steam generator, the mop heats up fairly quickly and is ready for use in just 15 seconds (the lowest setting). In this mode, it lasts long enough to let you clean a whole kitchen, using only one tank of water. Running on the highest setting, it provides a more powerful burst of steam and shows quick results at shifting even tough grease and stains. In total, the H2O HD Mop offers three different steam levels.

It is not only a wide range of attachments that make it ideal for multisurface cleaning tough. With a quick touch of a button, it easily transforms into a handheld unit that is able to get into all the nooks and crannies (especially when used in tandem with a concentration nozzle). The handheld unit doesn't feel flimsy like most other mops within its price bracket. It's tough but light.

Summing up, the H2O HD Steam Mop is a good middle-ground solution for cleaning, sanitising and deodorising multiple surfaces in your house. Owing to the rich set of accessories, it can give a good clean to just about anything.

This cleaner is Moolan's great invention that is easy to assemble and use right out of the box. All you need to do is fill the 450-ml water tank, turn on the switch, and wait for a few seconds. After that, thanks to thanks to the inclusion of the 1300-watt high-power heating element, the device will need only 15-20 seconds to generate steam.

As for the temperature, the Moolan cleaner is capable of generating steam as hot as 120° C. This makes it suitable for cleaning any kind of surfaces including kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms as well as eliminating germs and bacteria that tend to settle on floors, windows, bathroom screens, laminate, and tiles. To add to that, you get ass many as 12 accessories in the set.

One of the conveniences this steam mop offers despite its low price is that it doesn't require you to keep pressing the button to produce steam. You just need to select the steam level from Min to Max depending on whether you need it for carpet/rug or floor/tile cleaning.

All in all, Moolan has managed to produce a great mop suitable for different types of surfaces at a reasonable price. It heats up quickly and cleans well, making it ideal for busy families looking for a time-efficient solution.

With the H2O X5, the unbearable household chores can become a lot more playful and easier. Not only it is available in vibrant green or red designs to bring the fun back to cleaning but it's also very effective and easy to use. Rejoice!

Fitted with the 1300-watt heating element, it needs only 10 seconds to get hot enough to kill up to 99% of bacteria and germs, thus sanitising and deodorising surfaces around your house.

On average, the mop runs about 12 minutes per one refill, which should be quite enough to clean a room per one go. This is obviously not the longest runtime compared to the competition. Yet, the high manoeuvrability makes up for it in overall cleaning performance. Since the tank here is pretty small (hence, short runtime), the machine is very light and agile. Actually, it easily weaves in and out of furniture legs; plus, it has a triangular mop head that easily gets into tight corners. The main mop attachment is intended mainly for cleaning soft, hard and sealed floors, as well as carpets and rugs.

Besides the floor attachment, the pack includes numerous tools for cleaning tiles, windows, toilets, glass surfaces, ovens, BBQs, upholstery and even clothing. You simply transform the mop into a handheld cleaner, snap on a needed nozzle, and away you go.

In conclusion, it's a good all-in-one kit for multi-surface cleaning. It boasts one of the fastest heat-up times on the market and is highly manoeuvrable in order to clean many other surfaces besides floors.

The Shark S1000 steam mop is a simple device for regular mopping and sanitising almost any kind of floor finish. This model is extremely affordable, convenient and safe to use. It easily removes light debris and sticky spills from hardwood and laminate floors throughout a house. The design of this mop is lean and mean, so assembling the unit takes no longer than a minute, especially if you follow the instructions included in the box. In practice, though, you will hardly need them since the instruction arrows are moulded into the pieces of the mop.

The mop head is pretty manoeuvrable and includes two reusable pads with Velcros for quick assembly. By the way, if you moisten the pad in warm water before mopping, there will be more steam produced and the dirt will come off easier accordingly. The water container is fairly capacious, thus allowing you to clean large areas at a time. So does a pretty long power cord. It's worth mentioning that the water tank is removable, so you can fill it up right from the faucet instead of messing around with a filling cup. The mop heats up for about 30 seconds after switching on.

The S1000 has a manual steam adjustment system, which seems to be its main flaw. The trick is that a user needs to push the handle down and the mop forward to make the steam come out. This may slow you down on tough spills and stains. That's about the only gripe we have. In other respects, the S1000 does a great job of cleaning.
