Probably expensive in Calis/Fethiye, might be better buying one in the UK or getting someone to bring one over for you.

Just be careful what you are going to use this for.  Flooring Companies like Karndean tell you not to use steam cleaners on their floors as they cause the tiles to lift as the steam getting in between them.  Steam cleaners are also not recommended for wooden floors they damage the wood.

Mrs B wants a steam mop for our laminate floors. I think they could damage the floors. Are they any good?
I have a small steamer but don't rate it so its put me off.

I have a Fakir steam mop which I bought here in Turkey and its brilliant for the tiled floors, I can't remember how much it was but I think around the 200 tl mark.

I bought a King steam mop a month or so ago 149tl from the kitchen shop nearest to the Gunlukbasi dolmus station in Fethiye. It says that it can be used on tiles, laminates & carpets & it sure beats faffing about with a wet mop, then waiting half an hour before that piece of floor is dry before you can start on the next piece of floor.

Looked at the ones in the Beko shop, on the back road, but they wanted 350tl, until I told them cok para, & the price suddenly reduced to 250tl & that did no more than the 149tl version

We have a VAX one in the UK and use it on tiles, laminate and carpet.  Just follow the instructions  and you can't go wrong.  Will certainly buy one for our place in Turkey if we find one at the right price

I wish I could use on in Scotland but as I have Kardean floors I cannot, but I think I will buy one and bring it out to Turkey for the tile floors. 
I note they are from £25.00 in Asda and they are only 1.8 kilos and come in pieces to be made up.  So will fit nicely in Phil's case (He is so kind, I might tell him about it soon).

The supermarket on BMB half way between Aydin Pide and the Dolphinless roundabout (on the right heading towards Aydin Pide) had those spinningmops/bucket on offer for 60TL last week, very good quality for the price.
