What does a steam mop do?

A steam mop uses heat generated from steam to disinfect, sanitize, and clean all types of flooring. You don’t need to use a cleaner with a steam mop since the steam sanitizes most surfaces. These mops require electricity. Steam mops are lightweight with a broomstick-like handle, water reservoir, and an absorbent mop head. Steam mops help eliminate allergens and pet odors, so they can be helpful for households with people who have seasonal allergies or other airborne allergies as well as pet owners.

What is the best vacuum to clean hardwood floors?

Look for vacuums with a soft brush roll to protect hardwood floors. Suction-only cleaning vacuums with no brush roll should feature soft bristles along the bottom to prevent scratches to your floor. Avoid vacuums with rubber wheels that could mark up a hardwood floor.

What features should I look for in an upright vacuum?

Cordless upright vacuums are convenient and easy to use. Bagless vacuums use a canister to catch dust instead of a bag. These models are typically more lightweight, and easier to maintain since you don't have to buy bags. Look for vacuums with special attachments and accessories for added versatility.
