Pet owners have been praising how efficient the Shark steam mop is at cleaning muddy paw prints off their floors, and it’s now on sale with 43% off, bringing it down to under £40
The wet weather has meant a constant stream of muddy footprints and paw prints in your house, especially if you have pets. Whilst you can get your family to take their shoes off, trying to keep muddy paw prints to a minimum is a never ending job, which means you’re probably fed up with spending all your time on your hands and knees scrubbing the floors.
And although winter is finally on the way out and spring is approaching, we’ve no doubt still got plenty of rainy showers to come, which means plenty of muddy marks on the horizon. So if your patience (and your back) can’t take it any more, we recommend taking a leaf out of fellow pet owners’ books, and snapping up the Shark Steam Mop whilst it’s on sale.

Quicker and more effective than a regular mop and bucket, and definitely easier on your joints than hand-cleaning your floors, the Shark Steam Mop is ideal for keeping floors clean and disinfected with minimal effort. Usually priced at £69.99, Amazon has just slashed the price of it down by 43%, meaning you can now snap it up for £39.99.
The Amazon purchase will get you the steam mop, two ultra-absorbent and quick-drying microfibre dirt grip pads and a filling flask, giving you everything you need to keep your floors spotless. You can use it on all types of hard flooring as long as it’s fully sealed, including laminate, tile, hardwood and vinyl.
To use it, just fill the large 375ml tank with water and then use the manual pump action to activate the steam. It heats up within 30 seconds so you can use it instantly, and the Shark Steam Mop doesn’t just clean, but sanitises too to make sure you’re getting rid of all that outside bacteria.
You also don’t need to worry about constantly forking out for new cleaning pads like you would with a mop, as the cleaning pads are machine washable and reusable. As you get two included, you can alternate between them to make sure you always have a clean one to hand.
There are other ways to help keep those muddy paws off your floors too, though. Plenty of shoppers have been racing to snap up the Muddy Mat Highly Absorbent Door Mat and Pet Rug which is also available on Amazon for just £17.89. Made from a microfibre cloth material, the mat helps absorb all the rain and mud from your pets paws before they enter the house, giving you less to clean up after their walk.
You could also give the portable Floof 20V Cordless Pet Paw Washer a try. It’s £50 from Argos and can be used on both cats and dogs, with a spinning silicone brush that cleans their paws without manual scrubbing.
One fellow pet owner raved about the Shark Steam Mop , saying: “I am really impressed with the steam mop – I ordered it for using on my kitchen floor tiles as with dogs and children it never looked clean especially in the autumn and winter with muddy paw prints.”
They also added: “It was really easy to set up and the instructions are easy to follow and understand. It came with a couple of pads but I have ordered extra so I have a constant supply. It is quite heavy especially when trying to manoeuvre into corners but should be fine for all people. The steam boost function is great for using in more stubborn stains or marks. I would recommend vacuuming before using as if you don’t – I found out – any crumbs or bits just get moved around rather than being trapped on the pad. I am really pleased with the results and it took no time at all to clean the floor and leave it sparking clean.”
Another happy shopper praised: “I love a gadget, this is amazing. I bought it discounted, but easy to use, not noisy at all, water capacity is good. No attachments needed, quick and efficient, gets the smallest of stain up, value for money, so glad I bought it.”
Whilst a third simply stated the Shark Steam Mop was: “Easy to use, very effective.”
However one shopper wrote: “It was ok. It heated up quickly but the pumping action became very annoying after a while, I’ve used other steam mops and without having to pump it makes life a lot easier. It wasn’t very good on hard stubborn stains, the cord length was ok but could have been longer. The whole thing was very easy to put together and use, but honestly I don’t feel like it did a good enough job to effectively get stains off tiled floors. It did however dry very quickly which was a plus, but I will be buying another different brand that is much more efficient and effective, with quicker results.”
