H2O Mop x5 Elite

H20 Steam MopBy Lisa Dutton…

We have lived in our house for 5 years now… and it wasn’t until recently that I finally found something to clean our floors to a streak-free shine.

The H2O Mop x5 Elite is a 5-in-1; floor steam cleaner, carpet steamer, hand-held steamer, window cleaner, and garment steamer. I recently tried it on our laminate/ceramic tile floors and it worked beautifully. It is also very easy to use. Simply fill with pure water, set to suggested level, push a button, and go!

There are 4 settings on the mop that determine the amount of steam/moisture you want to use. I use the lowest setting on our floors because the less moisture you use, the less streaks you end up with. The mop left my floors gleaming.

One downfall is that the cord is rather short, so you have to unplug a lot… but the fact I don’t need to haul around a bucket, rag, cleaning solution etc. makes re-plugging a few times no big deal. The mop is lightweight (less than 5 lbs) and maneuvers with ease.

The box claims this mop is safe to clean ceramic tile, marble, granite, carpet, laminate, sealed hardwood, slate and vinyl floors. However, I suggest always checking with your flooring manufacturer before using ANYTHING new on your flooring. I have had friends damage their floors with various chemicals and mop heads. A ‘test area’ is also a great idea.

H20 Steam MopWhile I was pleased with how well the H2O Mop x5 Elite worked on my floors, I wanted to test out some of its other options. I set the mop on ‘high’ and put on the carpet attachment which enables the mop to glide across your rug. I injected some steam into a long-time stain. After steaming it, I blotted it with a dry rag… the stain was gone! I could even see the debris on my white rag. I was very impressed as I have tried removing this stain with chemical cleaners in the past and nothing worked. The H2O mop uses ONLY water at all times, which also makes it as environmentally friendly as you can get.

I wasn’t ambitious enough to do my windows, so I tried the window/glass/mirror attachment on my glass table top – it worked like a charm. While the mop is slightly cumbersome to get out for a table or counter top, I look forward to steaming my home’s many large windows in the spring. I steamed out a silk blouse using the garment steamer, another check!

Overall I was very impressed with ALL options the H2O Mop x5 Elite offers. I love the versatility, and think this is a great household item, even if you can put in to use in 2 or 3 ways.

The mop retails for $119.95 in Canada and US, a decent value considering it’s a 5-in1… and you are cleaning with the power of steam which means a dramatic cut-back in the amount of cleaning products you are buying. My enthusiasm over this mop has me thinking I should audition for its infomercial!
