Steam mops, commonly known as floor steam cleaners, are machines made solely for cleaning floors. The SteamVortex is a great example of this type of steam cleaning machine. Using only tap water, the SteamVortex is able to remove dirt and grime from a variety of floor surfaces. Floor steam cleaners emit steam which then penetrates the top surface of the floor killing germs and removing dirt. Cloths attached to the base of the floor steam cleaner trap the dirt and after use the cloths can be washed then reused.

Floor steam cleaners are not the only machines that can effectively clean floors. Home steam cleaners are the second type of floor steam cleaners available. Home steam cleaners are normally multi-use steam cleaning machines that can clean a variety of surfaces including floors. Using a floor brush, extension wands and floor cloths, a home steam cleaner can act as a floor steam cleaner and be just as effective. Click here for more information about home steam cleaners.
