It’s a never ending battle to keep my hard surface floors clean and it’s one that I often lose. Between the four kids who track absolutely everything into this house, 5 dogs who I swear spill their water and food several times a day just so they can sit and watch me clean it up . Oh, lets not forget my mother, brother-in-law and sister!
Now, most people probably don’t get all that excited about a new mop, but the Shark Steam & Spray™ isn’t just a regular mop either, so when I say I couldn’t wait to get it out of the box and try it out, I mean that quite literally…I didn’t even take time to take pictures of the parts before I put the mop together…my bad. I will assure you though, that the mop comes in two pieces; the mop head and body and the handle and it was as easy as inserting the handle into the mop body and popping a few batteries into the battery compartment and the mop was ready to be filled with water and clean some floors. Before I get too far ahead of myself, I want to let you know what comes with the Shark Steam & Spray™
* 22 Foot removable power cord
* 1 Ultra Absorbent, Super Thick, Washable Cleaning Pad
* 2 Sanifiber Disposable Cleaning Pads
* 1 20 ounce bottle of Steam Energized, Multi-floor Cleanser (which is non-toxic and safe for kids and pets)
While the washable cleaning pad is a staple among Shark Steam mops, the removable power cord, Steam Energized Cleaner and the option of using disposable Sanifiber pads, are all upgrades that make the Steam & Spray™ the best yet, in my opinion anyway. Now that you’ve heard about all of the goodies that come with the Shark Steam & Spray™, it’s time to hear all about what this power machine can do.
Perhaps the most impressive feat of the Shark Steam & Spray™ is that it is extremely versatile; offering the user 3 different (and powerful) cleaning modes.
1. Steam and Spray: When ENERGIZED with STEAM, Shark® cleanser reaches an even higher level of cleaning, ideal for breaking down the tougher stuck on stains & greasy floor messes.
2. Spray only Cleaning: Spray Shark® Gentle Floor Cleanser to break down tough dirt and grime.
Plus it’s battery operated – go unplugged to spray and clean anytime anywhere!
3. Steam Only Cleaning: Sanitize floors in seconds with the power of super-heated steam.
I love that there are three different cleaning modes so that you can tailor the type of cleaning to your needs. While I am very used to the steam cleaning mode with my old Shark, I was new to the Steam and Spray and Spray Only modes that the Steam & Spray™ offers. Since most of my messes usually involve sticky spilled food and drinks, or dirt and mud that’s been tracked indoors, the Steam and Spray mode is the one I find myself using most often.
You can purchase the The Shark Steam & Spray™ starting at $119.99 MSRP
