Definition: A steam mop is an electric appliance that uses water (no cleaners or chemicals) to sanitize and clean sealed hard floor surfaces. During the cleaning, the water in the small reservoir is heated to boiling and steam is produced and flows through the removable cloth floor cleaning pad, when the mop handle is pumped or a steam button is pressed. Because of the hot steam, the floor dries quite quickly.
Though there are exceptions with heavier models, pushing a steam mop requires less effort to clean the floor, than washing with a regular mop and bucket.
Steam mops vary in price due to design differences and accessories.
