Bissell Steam Mop Deluxe

bissell steam mop reviewThe Bissell Steam Mop Deluxe works great and easily cleans your hardwood surfaces. I’m not really sure what makes this a environmentally safe product though besides the eco-friendly cleaner that comes with it and it’s built in water purification system.

The cleaner comes in a plastic container. If you wanted more of the solution, you’d have to buy another plastic container full. Also the microfiber pads that are used, would need to be replaced as well. This seems like expending unnecessary resources.

The mop does work well, but I’m not sure what exactly makes it a green product beyond the chemical free solution. Below is copied from the PR firm representing the mop.

The Steam Mop is eco-friendly because it is 100% chemical free. It cleans and sanitizes with the natural power of steam, using nothing more than water. The bottle of liquid that comes with the product is actually just a eucalyptus-infused water, which leaves behind a refreshing scent. There is no need for consumers to buy more of the scented water unless they prefer it;  the Steam Mop works just as well with water directly from the tap.

In addition, the two microfiber mop pads that come with the product are washable and completely reusable – no need to replace them after each use!
