What Can Steam Mops Get Rid Of?


What Can Steam Mops Get Rid Of?


Aside from the usual dust, dirt, and debris, steam mops can also get rid of other unwanted stuff on your floors. These include:

Bacteria and germs: Even if your mop or washcloth has removed the visible dirt and dust from your floors, some unseen bacteria and germs are not as easy to get rid of. Fortunately, the extremely high temperatures of steam released by steam mops can kill bacteria and germs, leaving your floors not just clean on the surface, but also completely free from unwanted microorganisms that may even cause health problems.
Allergens: Advantage of steam mops is that they are excellent sanitizers and disinfectants, again because of the heat they produce. Thus, they can effectively eliminate dust mites, mold, mildew, and other allergens. They do this without the help of any harsh chemical. If you or some household members are prone to allergies, using a steam mop is a surer way of cleaning your floors.

This brings us to this very valid question : 

What are the advantages of Steam Mops?


Effective: Steam mops may have a different configuration but they work just as effectively as the upright or canister type steam cleaners. The mechanism of action used by these machines is exactly the same. A steam mop produces hot steam that effectively dislodges dirt from the surface and picks them right up without a hassle.
Effortless to use: Investing in a steam mop means saying goodbye to all the crouching, scrubbing, and bucket-lifting that used to make up your floor cleaning tasks. Like a regular floor mop, they just need to be pushed along in front of you. And some steam mops even have adjustable handles, so if you shorten the handle, you can even clean your floors while sitting down. There is also no need to buy and use any form of detergent, bleach, or cleaning chemical since the heat produced by the machine is already an effective disinfectant.
Guaranteed dirt removal: When you use a floor mop, every time you soak your mop into a bucket, the water that you use becomes dirty. This is why sometimes, you would see unpleasant-looking streaks of dirt on your floors. A steam mop is free of that disadvantage. Thus, you only do your cleaning once. A steam mop guarantees that there is absolutely no need for do-overs.
Some of the benefits of the  H2O MOP X5 Steam Mop are that it can be used on multiple floor surfaces :

How to Get your Kids to Clean up!!!

Every Mother's Dreammmm Come TRUE!!!! 

Getting your children involved with daily cleanup is a great way  to teach responsibility and cleanliness  at a young age. Here are some tips to get your children to help clean up around the home.


Tip 1:  Invest in stackable storage boxes. Keep the children’s room easy to clean by keeping storage boxes and extra closet space around. Children will easily put things away when they know there is storage boxes . Also, Buy stackable storage boxes in different colors so it makes it easier to put toys, clothes and other items away in different color boxes.
Tip 2:  Make a fun game out of cleaning by putting on music to get your children moving to put things away. If you have two or more children you can always make a competition out of cleaning by using a timer. Whoever wins in the shortest amount of time gets a small reward.
Tip 3: Teach your children at young age. As soon as they can walk and pick up toys teach them how to put these toys back. Create a cleanup song and teach them to put the toys back in the bins where they belong. If you teach them at young age they will be able to carry this habit with them.
Tip 4: Make a schedule and stay consistent when children do not clean. Teach your children to make their beds in the morning after getting up and to pick up their toys and books in the evening before they go to bed. If your children resist your instructions to cleanup  you can always withdraw a reward or stop them from going out. Stay firm and consistent with your orders.
Tip 5: Be interesting with cleaning  at an early age. If your children can read then teach them how to alphabetize their bookcase and organize their study desk.
Tip 6: Get your children involved by simply asking the question “can you help me please?”  Children generally liked to be asked for help.
Tip 7: Children love to spray things, so get a small spray bottle and fill it up with some hot water and vinegar and have them spray down and wipe their toys, desk and furniture.  Diluted 50/50 water and vinegar is harmless to your furniture and children. Its a great way to get kids to wipe and clean up  their room.
Getting your children to tidy up around the home can be a little overwhelming especially if you haven’t instilled this habit from before.  If you have more than one child then assign cleaning tasks appropriate to their age.  A 3-4 year might clean up by dumping things in one container which is fine , but a 10 year old will learn that color coordinated  storage boxes are used for different things. Cleaning up with children can also be a great way to spend time together.
