Morphy Richards 720020 9-in-1 Steam Mop Kills 99.9% of Bacteria Around the Home

I have been researching steam cleaners for several months now but didn't feel confident about any of the cleaners I looked at, until I saw the Morphy Richards 9-in-1 steam cleaner. Seemed to do everything I wanted, had a powerful motor and good sized tank. My new cleaner arrived yesterday, did a trial run (as you do!) and now all my hard floors are gleaming. Seems to have lifted the grime from my kitchen and bathroom tiles beautifully and left them sparkling. My hall floor looks lovely too and I can't wait to experiment with all the other tools (oven next!!!) I found I got slightly less than the 14 minutes advertised for the length of time one fill of the water tank will last, but that could be because I was learning how to use it. I've also noticed that a lot of reviews for other steam cleaners complain that the floors are left very wet - not with this one, I found it perfect, just enough wetness to feel the floor was clean, but not so much that it took ages to dry. All the parts come apart and fit together really easily and the box comes with very clear instructions to follow. Also, can't speak highly enough of Morphy Richards customer service. I had a problem registering the product online, but by contacting their customer service, they proceeded to do it for me. To sum up, this cleaner is an excellent price for the quality of the product, light to handle, but heavy on results - what more can I say One word of warning though, make sure you thoroughly vac' or sweep the floors before you steam clean. I thought I'd done an excellent job by sweeping thoroughly, but the steam cleaner still 'found' yet more dust!! If I have one complaint, it's that the cord could be slightly longer, but that's just me being picky because I'm lazy and don't like to keep repositioning the plug!

I'm pretty well over the moon with this product. Again, I don't know why it took me so long to get one? I'm really fussy about my kitchen floor and thought my manual system of cleaning it was good enough. How wrong could I be? Its worth noting that I didn't even buy the machine for the kitchen floor, but have been converted all the same. Basically, I was testing it out, and saw that after I'd done the tiles, the worktops, behind the microwave and around some pipes, that there were drips on the floor. So I switched to floor steaming mode. As a first time, it took me a while to get into the swing of it, especially the corners. Then noticed that the underside of my Birkenstocks were causing smears, so I steamed them as well. After that, the kitchen floor was a lot easier to do. I thought the floor was left a little wet though, but that was probably because the microfibre cloth supplied is not really thick enough. (I later bought the thicker one from MR directly, which also comes with a better carpet cloth and an extension hose for hard-to-reach places - £19.00 kit, could be less on here?). Verdict: what amazed me was how long the floor remained clean after steaming it! I think that because you're 'sterilising' as well as cleaning, and all without the use of chemicals, the feel of the floor to walk on afterwards is extremely squeaky clean and remains so for days. Plus 'no streaks'! Since then I also did all the skirting boards and laminate beading using the single jet nozzle, and wiping the area after steaming with a dry microfibre cloth to get the melted grime off. There are videos on YouTube on how to do this. I also finished off the kitchen floor with a dry flat mop. I probably wont need to do that next time, as I'm switching to the thicker floor cloth they sent me but I might because I'm really funny about any kind of streaks left behind. I figure you have to wash the microfibre cloths afterwards anyway, so why not add the one from the dry mop too? Noticed e.g. Karcher's steam cleaner heats to 180 degrees of steam but this one is only 115. As its well over boiling point, you don't have to worry that its not powerful enough, because I have a burn on my wrist to prove it. Not sure how that happened, but I was in the corner of the kitchen, crouching on the floor and as I rested the handheld section on an old tray, it kind of twisted and got me. Who cares, the item is extremely worthwhile! Update 13/03/14: I cannot praise this nifty gadget enough. I've steam-cleaned the kitchen and bathroom walls, radiators and doors before painting, doors that were not going to be painted, mirrors, pipes, tiles, hob, oven door, glass doors, skirting boards, bins, soles of shoes etc. I don't really see the point of manually cleaning something with buckets and scourers and wotnots, because it always leaves a residue. Steam cleaning leaves everything super-squeaky clean. I've thrown out my mop and bucket and pretty soon plan to revive some rugs. I always wear gloves and use de-ionised water, because you get a lot more steam from that type of water than cooled boiled water. I don't really bother with any of the attachments and just use the narrow utility nozzle and a dry microfiber cloth.
