When I worked a movie theater job several years back, I would dread<\/em> every time we had to get the old shabby mop out (which was quite often). After getting all the cleaning solutions together and schlepping the water-filled bucket to the hall, I was exhausted by the time we finally got around to cleaning up whatever soda spill had occurred. On the other hand, at home (where my kitchen was in my entryway), whenever the city grime was tracked in, I just stuck with my old Swiffer<\/a> to get rid of the mess. But, now that I\u2019m finally out of school, I\u2019m planning on making the upgrade to a more adult <\/em>floor-cleaning tool that\u2019ll also save me money in the long run. You guessed it: I\u2019m dying to get a steam mop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n After reading about steam mops<\/a> on Kitchn over the past few years and seeing how much our editors rave<\/a> about them, I\u2019ve been wanting to purchase one for myself and revolutionize my cleaning routine (without breaking the bank). Way more effective than a traditional mop and without all the caveats that come with Swiffers, steam mops truly are miracle workers, and the affordable Shark S1000 Steam Mop<\/a> is no exception.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
