Does anyone have one of these? Do they actually work? Our whole downstairs plus bathrooms are all tiled. I currently mop them with floor cleaner once a week but it doesn't do the job. Every 2 months I have to get down on my knees and scrub the floors as they turn brown from dirt and the mop doesn't take it off (this takes about 3 hours).
I'm not really looking forward to doing this once I'm heavily PG and I'm also aware that steam mops are great for crawling babies – no toxic residuals left over from floor cleaners. I can only find one model in the shops, though. An awful spearmint coloured one from Harvey Norman. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I haven't tried one but I wanted to be checky and say by 41weeks you might find yourself getting down on all fours cleaning the floor to bring on labour, or at least try to anyway. THe things we do at 40+weeks. CRAZY.
I've heard the mops are good but as I say haven't yet tried one. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yep we have one and its great. Probably one of our best purchases. It takes a bit longer than normal mopping but its so worth it  ------------- Our Angel July 08  Gone but not forgotten

I have a H2O mop that I bought off trademe (was brand new, someone on there sells heaps of them). It's great on our tiles but sucks on the vinyl in the kitchen. It doesn't really get into the corners either so I still have to wipe up a bit by hand, better than the old stinky mop though. -------------

I don't have a steam mop but I thought long and hard about getting one before we moved to a place that was mostly carpet. I found that www.amazon.com was great for reading consumer reviews and doing my research. You can find the Shark, the H20 Mop, and lots of other brands on there. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
