I would love to have a steam cleaner in the U.K. but they are not suitable for all floors. I have Kardean Flooring in the kitchen and hall and the company advise not to use steam cleaners as they can lift the flooring up.
We did buy a steam cleaner in Fethiye for the stone flooring but it was a bit small and took a long time to clean the floor, so we went back to plan A...the mop.
