Steam mops have two types of mop head covers, reusable and disposable. Both these types of covers can be proprietary or customizable. To help you review the differences to choose the right one for you, here is a breakdown of each:
Reusable mop pads: Because you are able to use the pads more than once, reusable mop pads are an environmentally friendly choice that saves you money.
Disposable mop pads: Disposable mop pads are super convenient - simply toss them out when they get old, and put a new one on. No washing required!
Proprietary mop pads: Some steam mops are designed to be used with specific mop heads. Engineered by the manufacturer to work best with their steam mop, many people swear by the proprietary pads that they use with their mops.
Customizable mop pads: While nearly all steam mops will ship with included pads, some units are configured to use almost any pad or cloth you choose, so long as it fits the mop head. This extra customization allows you to buy or reuse whichever pads you prefer, or even use cloth you already have around the house.
Based on all the consumers' reviews we've scanned, these are the top things they mentioned about their new stuff:
Bissell: Bissell is still run by the family that started it over 130 years ago, and in 2010 was the #1 North American manufacturer of floor care products in terms of sales.
SteamFast: Launched in 1999, SteamFast focuses on quality by producing just steam cleaning products.
Shark: Shark® is a brand of Euro-Pro Operating LLC, headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts, and is a third-generation owned family company that makes quality steam products.
HAAN: The Wall Street Journal named founder Romi Haan one of "The Top 50 Women to Watch." Of Korean homes that steam clean, 3 out of 4 use her company’s steam cleaning products.
