Hi Has anymore bought a steam mop in Turkey? Thinking of getting one but don't know which is best. Cheers :)
-
Probably expensive in Calis/Fethiye, might be better buying one in the UK or getting someone to bring one over for you.

H2O Steam mop. These are selling locally for around 140-160ytl... Online you can order at 69 ytl http://www.marchashop.com/Buharli-Temizleyici-H2O-Mop-X5%2CPR-192.html?ref=akakce&v=1.8.5

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

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

Can't you just get the wife to do it like usual John? :D

using a steam mop can make your hair fall out, eh Keith?

I have a steam mop and have bought a second for Turkey, I use it on tiles and wooden floor with no problem.
-
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
-
Lol Keith! Do you really think that I'd be using it? The wife's using my profile ;)
-
I have the X5 steamer here in England and have just got another to bring out to Turkey. I use it on tiled and wooden floors. Just follow the instructions. Would not be with out it now.

Sahli at The garden centre has steam mops for 139tl. He has sold loads of them.
-
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.
