Our floors are pretty, but because they are so solidly dark (with vary little variation in color), they show every cracker and crumb, sippy cup spill, and footprint. Here's an old photo to show you what our floor looks like.
I usually clean the floor with a wood cleaner spray, then mop over it by hand. But this Black & Decker Steam Mop was so much easier to use. Just turn the dial to your floor setting, plug in and go!
I was really happy with how our floors looked after using this mop- I can't believe I didn't get a good picture!. The previous way I cleaned the floors worked well too- but this was just a much easier (and less time consuming) process!

Either something the kids did or the dog...
ReplyDeleteMy dog had Giardia...uncontrolable poop ;(,
ReplyDeleteOh my floors in our new place are light "wood"...and show EVERYTHING! It's a constant battle!!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway Megan! I have been wanting a steam mop for my bamboo floors for a long time! Hmmm, the biggest mess I ever had was red wine in the bedroom all over the sheets, comforter and carpet. Somehow I managed to get everything out but it sure wasn't fun!
ReplyDeleteAlissa
With two dogs, I need this mop, especially for the puppy. She's such a goofy dog and she's constantly knocking stuff over. Silly doggie! I'd luv to have this mop to eliminate using paper towels all the time and to pick up doggie accident, if you know what I mean.

ReplyDeleteI have a 6 month old so something tells me my "biggest messes" are just beginning :D
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are newlyweds (no kids yet!) and we recently babysat for a friend. We are new at this whole kid thing and ran out of diapers one night. When my husband ran out to the store we let the little 13 month old boy run around our house naked. He did some damage to our hardwood floors!! HA!

ReplyDeleteBiggest mess I've ever had to tackle...hmmm...I can't think of one right now, but my most recent was yesterday when I spilled two quarts of coffee ALL over the countertop and it dripped down to the floors. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest mess I've ever faced was gum smeared all inside my dryer. Holy nightmare! I used peanut butter to get it off. My clothes smelled like peanut butter for two weeks.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! The biggest mess I've ever faced was chapstick that went through the washer and dryer and got all over our clothes! It took soooo many washings and stain remover to finally get it out!

ReplyDeleteI spray painted a filing cabinet INSIDE the house--when i took up the tarp there was a big square light spot on our NEW carpeting, but the rest was varying shades of gray and black. oops. otherwise--as a mom of 4, our house sees a varying degree of messes continually.

ReplyDeleteI recently, spilled white paint on my dark wood floors. Very unfortunate.
I would love to try a steam mop on my hardwoods! The biggest mess I ever had to clean up was when I was working at a home improvement store. One of the sales guys dumped a 5 gallon bucket of roofing tar in the middle of an aisle. I spent four hours in a hazmat suit scooping up all the goo and scrubbing the floors with acetone. I even had to pull product off the shelves to take them apart and clean under the racks. Not fun. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteas a mom to 6 there have been so many messes - but the worst probably the car after a long road trip. choose me!
ReplyDeleteI recently spilled red nail polish all over my carpet...awful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Cleaning up all the dust after our renovation, was definitely the biggest mess. I am still cleaning construction dust 6 months later.

ReplyDeleteI dropped an entire canister of bread crumbs on the kitchen floor once. What a mess! I also have bamboo floors (mine are a medium honey color). I always wondered if I could use a steam mop on them. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThe biggest mess I have ever had to tackle was when one of my children (then a toddler) emptied half a gallon of milk on a large wool area rug.

Hmmm...the biggest mess. I had JUST finished sweeping and vacuuming and dumped the mess in a box I was going to take to the trash. I moved this box onto the bottom stair while I was mopping. My cat proceeded to knock the box onto the wet floor. I was SO mad.

ReplyDeleteMy Boxer Coco decided she wanted to play in my makeup bag. She tried on and/or ate all kinds of lip gloss, lip stick and pencils, blush.... everything. The carpet stained pink! The walls smeared orange! Her white paws were red! (And I won't even describe the colors I saw that came out of her a few hours later.)
ReplyDeleteBiggest Mess- When the puppy was acting crazy and knocked over a glass vase, cut herself on it, and then decided to keep running while blood was going all over everything! Can we say disaster?!
ReplyDeleteThe biggest mess I've had to clean was my dog's urine! Gross! We just bought our first home and need something to clean our floors with that also sanitizes. This sounds perfect.

The biggest mess I've ever had to deal with was when we lived in our old apartment and had just gotten our puppy. We came home one day to find he had turned over one of my potted trees and spread the soil all over the light beige carpet. We had about half an inch of potting soil covering our living room carpet. It was a huge mess and took us days to get the carpet fully clean. That was when we bought our steam cleaner (which we still use quite a bit since having kids!)

ReplyDeleteBiggest mess - 3 sick kids, a sick dog, and one tired mom who ended up crying over the spilled milk (in addition to the other messes). I won't go into details about the sick kids and dog, just know that it was not a pleasant day.

Re Black and Decker Steam Mop Give a way: Biggest mess I've ever had to clean up is not pleasant to discuss. Our dog was unwell and during the night while we were asleep he had diarrhea, in several places on kitchen floor. The poor thing was so upset. It was not an easy mess to clean!

biggest mess i have cleaned up? gosh, i couldn't narrow it down beyond the 2 worst - a bottle of ranch dressing poured all over the floor by a 1 yr old, and a dozen eggs broken - my two oldest children were trying to find the hard boiled eggs and kept cracking eggs on the floor, hoping they'd find a hard boiled one. (they were 2 and 3 at the time. . .)
ReplyDeleteI clean up after my baby brothers. An unidentifiable substance was the hardest yet to clean.

I think my biggest mess was when my then two-year-old had a potty training accident (#2) on the carpet, stepped in it, then tracked it down the hall, all while I was pregnant. I still gag just thinking about it.

ReplyDeleteThe biggest mess was probably cleaning up after my 2 year old. She was potty training and she started to potty in the dining room and it trailed through the living room, hallway, master bedroom and finally into the master bathroom. What a huge mess!

ReplyDeleteMy biggest challenging task I have ever had to clean up was our dog got so excited and made a stinky mess on the floor and stepped in it and then took off when we were trying to get him cleaned up leaving more of a stinky mess all over the pergo tile and carpeting. Darn dog. He's house trained now.
ReplyDeleteBiggest mess was probably spilling red wine all over our white couch... got it out though! ~Christie
