To begin, consider what you’ll be using your vacuum for most often. Are you a pet owner? Perhaps you’ll be sucking up pet hair and scrubbing away muddy footprints after a rainstorm. If you’re a parent, there will be drool, dirt, marker, and a multitude of other questionable things on your wood floors. If you’re young and single, maybe it’s just a little dust or debris and cleaning up after yourself. Perhaps you’re older and don’t want to carry a heavy machine up and down the stairs. Defining your criteria is the most important piece of information to begin sorting the various steam mops and hardwood floor vacuums. A cordless vacuum for hardwood floors is ideal for day-to-day routine maintenance between deep cleanings, great for keeping tidy, and carrying up and down the stairs. Oftentimes, these can be used for vacuuming other surfaces as well, but are known for being lightweight and easy to carry. Depending on the model, some even lift away to become a handheld vacuum for every hard to reach crevice, making them a more convenient option than traditional upright models. A good lightweight cordless vacuum can be worth gold in your home, and they’re available at a range of price points to match your specific needs.
Hardwood Floor Vacuum & Steam Cleaners
Hardwood floor steam cleaners and steam mops are terrific options to achieve clean hardwood floors. Scrub and steam away the dirt and grime (that you didn’t even know you had). Unlike traditional mops, the heat from the steam on these is enough to kill most bacteria and dust mites on the floor. Instead of just moving dirty water around like a traditional mop and bucket, the steam mops and hardwood floor cleaners feature cleaning pads, which help to absorb the dirt and debris, creating not only a faster way to get your floors done, but also a more sanitary way. Steam mops can be used on a variety of hard surfaces, including ceramic tile, laminate, vinyl, marble, and stone as well. However, it is not recommended they be used on unsealed hardwood flooring. Some can even do your area rugs, too! It’s important to look at your overall household and be sure to select a model that can achieve the cleanest surfaces, so choose wisely - we promise, you’ll be glad you did.
