@withlovedkj, my pads were washable

Yes, you have to push the handle on this one to heat up as well. I haven't had any issues with it so far. I want the one with the washable replacement pads. I hated mopping until I bought this. @txyogagirl

@withlovedkj, thanks mine looked similar but I just must have got a bad one of something. Mine didn't come with bottle. The handle how u push in for steam is what quit working on mine it would never heat up I should have tried to return it but never did

Great that's the brand I had as well I may have just had a bad model it was when they first came out

I use a shark steam mop. I love it. I'm not sure what model but I'll send you a picture. @txyogagirl

@withlovedkj what kind of stem mop do u use? I had one but I didn't care for it seemed like it didn't work well enough for me and it quit steaming within 6m. Yea carpet is safe for stairs. We originally didn't have a me from either so we split one of the bedrooms and made one it's only 80sq ft but has a good lay out and has another section that is an open hall area part. What I like best is it has a back exterior door it's basically my dogs room. I wish it had a shower if we ever build a new home I will for sure have a big mud room with shower.

@txyogagirl,

I only have carpet in the bedroom and on the stairs, unfortunately. I didn't want the stairs carpeted but I like it for the most part because it isn't as dangerous as plank. In most of the areas where guests walk we have hardwood and tile flooring. I dust mop and usually use a steam mop as well to keep the floors sanitized. I wish I had a mud room! My house wasn't designed with one. I couldn't add one either. I don't think I'd have it any other way. I just hate the thought of wearing nasty outside shoes inside.

I wouldn't care there r so many germs people don't realize that we bring in. We just put in hand scraped hardwood and I just love it. We have a lot of natural stone tile which I hate bc it's so hard to maintain over the years. The small amount of carpet we have we hope to remove and continue with the hardwood. @withlovedkj what kind of flooring do u have? I think it depends on the floor but on carpet it can be super gross people tracking stuff in. The wood I use a dust mop everyday in my bedroom and hall bc those are high traffic areas. It takes about 3min not a big deal. Do u have a mud room? We do and it's painted concrete I have had like 3 professionally tell me what flooring am I putting and I'm like none it's a freaking mud room it suppose to get dirty I so wanna add cubbies like on Pinterest by the time baby Luke is walking that way we can start teaching him leave his shoes n a basket

I know, it's so yucky! I really can't see it any other way. I know many people in the medical profession who says they do the same thing, take their clothes and shoes off at the door. @nurseriri

I agree, it makes for a much cleaner house! @loveerii

I think that's the best rule ever. @hiswifetheirmama

@withlovedkj, the rules in my apartment is no shoes whatsoever. And that's before I had my son. It's just a pet peeve of mines to have outside filth from under your shoes in my space. Yuckkkk. When I get home from work I usually take my scrubs off by the door and shower before I get Ethan from the sitter.

My fiancé grandparents are the same way, it keeps everything so much cleaner !
