‘I was shocked at how much dirt it got up’
Amazon has slashed the price of a popular floor cleaner in a limited-time deal, and more than 800 of them have been bought in the past month. The Shark SteamSpot with Steam Blaster Technology is now up for grabs for £69, down from £99.99, saving shoppers 31%.
The SteamSpot is created to tackle tough messes, using water alone with a targeted blast of steam. By doing this, it is said to remove 99.9% of household bacteria.
Both lightweight and manoeuvrable, the cleaner can swivel between obstacles and clean hard-to-reach areas easily. It offers three different cleaning modes to choose from: low for light and quick clean-ups, medium for everyday use, and high for deep cleaning and stuck-on stains, so users can tailor their cleaning experience at any time.

There is also a removable water tank that can simply be detached, refilled and put back in within seconds. To save even more money on costs, the cleaner comes with two washable dirt grip pads that are reusable, machine washable and easy to attach.
It is worth noting that the SteamSpot is suitable and safe for all sealed hard floors, including hardwood, marble, tile, stone, laminate and vinyl. Another option at a higher price is the Vax Steam Fresh Total Home Steam Mop for £160 from Argos.

The site says this one can heat up in 30 seconds, deliver 15 minutes of ‘continuous steam per tank’, and is designed for sealed hard floors, laminate, tile and wood. It also works on carpets and rugs with the right attachment. A cheaper option is the Dunelm Steam Mop for £38 from Dunelm.
Said to be great for a variety of different household cleaning tasks, this one has been designed with variable steam control, and it features a swivel head, making it easier to reach awkward or smaller places. It also comes with various attachments and accessories.
The Shark SteamSpot with Steam Blaster Technology has been rated highly on Amazon; however, as one five-star review said: “Powerful, easy to use and leaves floors genuinely clean. It cleans beautifully, even on textured or uneven tiles, and the steam boost feature is great for tougher marks.
You can either pre-spray sticky patches or just hold it over the area for a few extra seconds and let the steam do its thing. It also doesn’t leave the floor soaking wet, even on the higher setting, just a fresh, clean feel with no chemical smell. The pump action is really handy for stubborn areas.”
Another added: “Easy to handle. Quick heat-up and very happy with the end result. Like the Powersports of steam. I have saved on cleaning products I used to use with my mop.”
A third person wrote: “This steam blaster is absolutely amazing. I thought my floors were pretty clean, but after using this, I was shocked at how much dirt it got up. It’s five stars from me. I highly recommend it.”
This person removed a star and said: “Very good steamer, good value, but would be better if it were detached so you could use it in your hand.”
Another added: “It’s not as powerful as I would like, though it does seem to clean the floor, but I don’t know if it’s just mopping or if it is actually steaming. The pad gets soaked quickly. I’m happy that I got it, but I think a cheaper one would be just as good.”
The Shark SteamSpot with Steam Blaster Technology is available from Amazon.
