Shark steam mop

What to check

Steam is a separate cleaning method. Use the S1000 only where the floor manufacturer and appliance instructions permit steam cleaning.

Who this is for

Good only for households whose floor manufacturer and appliance instructions explicitly permit steam cleaning on that specific floor finish — steam is a separate cleaning method from spin or spray mopping, not simply a more powerful version of them.

What stands out

Using steam instead of a chemical solution can be a real advantage specifically where the floor manufacturer permits it and a solution-free clean is preferred; the S1000 comes with two Dirt Grip pads.

Limitations to know

We have not performed sanitization testing and do not make sanitization claims for this documentary comparison. A sealed-floor description from a listing is not permission for every finish — confirm with your specific floor manufacturer before using steam, since using it on an unpermitted surface can cause damage that has nothing to do with the appliance's own quality.

How it compares in our catalog

O-Cedar EasyWring and Swiffer PowerMop are both non-steam alternatives in our catalog if your floor doesn't permit steam cleaning or you prefer not to use it.

Our take

Only worth choosing after confirming your specific floor and the appliance instructions both permit steam cleaning. If either doesn't clearly permit it, choose a spin or spray mop instead.
