Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I live on an organic veggie farm and my reality is dirt constantly being trekked into the house and on to the tile floors (I have those pretty spanish rustic tiles- pretty but so difficult to clean as they have this texture that traps dirt in making it look like it is always dirty). Alas-Living on a farm, dirt is my lot and i have embraced it. Yes- i have spent hours mopping using an old fashioned wring mop, grout brush, sponge and my floors just always looked dirty regardless if i scrubbed them multiple times a day. Once i had a baby my time has suddenly become quite precious and haven't had the luxury of dedicating that much time to mopping and i'm constantly trying to find easier ways to clean. I had been eying a steam mop for the past year but i was worried that it would be a waste of money and just be another thing in the house in storage. I was wrong. This mop is AMAZING. I LOVE IT!! First off- it's super easy to put together, just one screw. I didn't even read the instructions it was that easy. The mop has 3 buttons and is pretty self explanatory using the symbols. Filling the water chamber is a breeze (comes with a little cup with spout) and putting on the mop pad is straight forward. I plugged it in and was immediately surprised at how easy the thing glides with little effort on my part. The bottom swivels and moves efficiently for corners and hard to reach spaces. The cord is ample and noise minimal. After just 2 passes....2....on my nasty farm floors... i saw an immediate difference. I was so excited that i rinsed out the scrub pad and away i went....another 2 passes and holy cow- i could see traces of the original color of the grout!...... another 2 passes plus a little elbow grease using the awesome super scrubber thing when you remove the mop head and presto....my floors were transformed! They were squeaky clean that i could walk barefoot on them and let my 1 year old son crawl on them without worry (something i would not do before even after mopping with my old fashioned mop). I thought that this mop would just be so inconvenient that it would only be an occasional thing, kinda like my old mop but nope. I have this out in a corner of my house and use it daily and with each mopping, my floors get nicer. I watched a video review before i purchased this and the reviewer was questioning the scrubby thing and lamenting over having to wash it. I love the scrubby thing. It's perfect for stubborn areas and grout lines. I don't wash the scrubby thing- as i don't see the need.
