Steam cleaners

[austinbob]

British Gas have given me an Amazon gift voucher of £50 (don't ask, its a long story). I'm thinking of buying a steam cleaner for floors, wall tiles, grout etc. Any advice on good buys. (not good byes!!)

Got a steam/vac combo that works well on my terracotta tiled floors.

Thanks Dave - much appreciated.

I bought this one Bob, excellent value. I suspect Amazon may do it slightly cheaper. http://www.tesco.com/direct/morphy-richards-9-in-1-upright-steam-cleaner/729-5146.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=729-5146

Thanks Malc. That looks pretty versatile. There's such a choice for these things, isn't there. Makes my brain hurt!

I'm buying a new car at the moment, and am stressed to the max!

Good luck with the cleaner... as you say, more options mean more stress!

Going  but good luck with that, George.

We got rid of our Peugeot 5008 petrol. Darned thing at 46K miles ran up a bill of just under GBP1K one week prior to house move. Three timing chains in that many miles. Poor or what? 

Got a Skoda Yeti and hoping it may last a fair bit longer without the financial scares.

Good luck Bob. Loads of options as you say. I'd suggest you look at reviews on (e.g.) Amazon and see who comes out top.

Good idea - taken your advice and done that now - ordered Vax S86-SF-CC Steam Fresh Combi Classic 10-in-1 Handheld and Steam Mop.

If it doesn't work well Dave I'll send you the bill!

I'll post how I get on once I've taught SWMBO how to use it.

[daveg]

Er, um .... I regret I can only offer (notional) support for the item I purchased.

You're on your own there buster but jolly good luck is what I say! 

Happy New Steamer

Ah, do these steam cleaner thingymajig's clean the grot out of the grouting in your floor tiles. When we moved into our place we had nice clean grouting on our tile flooring. Over time it has darkened (probably due to grot).

I'll read up on these things (hadn't thought of them as an option really) but any comments appreciated.

Cheers

Dan

PS: When I clicked on this thread I thought someone was going to ask something like "Anyone got any tips on using a steam cleaner to clean your 5-pole motor?" 

[austinbob]

That's one of the things it is supposed to do Dan. How effective it is is yet to be established.

Cheers Bob - if you can let me know how you get on with it (and it's effectiveness), I'd be highly appreciative. Saves getting on my hands and knees with a scouring pad and bleach.
