As if the upcoming holiday season wasn’t chaotic enough, we are going to have a new baby sometime within the next 2.5 weeks and we’ll also be celebrating Bryson’s 5th birthday on December 10th. To help prepare for the holiday season, the folks at Swiffer sent us their new Steamboost steam mop. It was perfect timing since I’m in full-force nesting mode right now. Over the weekend, I washed the last of the baby clothes, brought out the baby gear, rearranged furniture, vacuumed, and mopped.
When I say that the kitchen is the heart of our home, I sincerely mean that in more ways than one. It’s multifunctional in that it is also our dining room and my office. We spend the majority of our time in the kitchen- cooking, enjoying meals, building LEGOs and painting at the dining room table, working on this blog, etc. It’s a high traffic room. Because it’s such a busy room, it’s also quick to become messy and our tile floors see a lot of dirt and spills. For almost 3 years, I’ve used the Bissell Green Tea Steam Mop to keep my floors clean.
It goes without saying after 2.5 years of using the same steam mop every week, I am a Bissell believer! That’s why I was so excited to partner with a brand that already use and test out the new Swiffer Bissell Steamboost Steam Mop. I wasn’t sure what to expect because I’m a “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” type of gal, but the new Swiffer Bissell Steamboost is quite different than my original Bissell steam mop and definitely has it’s place. Right out of the box, the Steamboost steam mop was simple to put together. Each piece snaps together and you are ready to go. The first thing I noticed was how lightweight this steam mop was and I wondered if it would take the same beating my other Bissell has taken. I’m clumsy and I drop things a lot- a mop is no exception. I can’t even begin to guess how many times I’ve dropped or knocked over my mop. I’ll be sure to update after I’ve used the Swiffer Bissell Steamboost and let y’all know how it’s help up to my clumsiness.
This steam mop is different because it uses disposable Steam pads instead of reusable cloth pads. The Swiffer pads are scented and I am a huge fan of both the Open Window Fresh scent and the Febreze® Lavender Vanilla & Comfortâ„¢ scent. The pads alone give my house a clean smell while I’m mopping and the added scent makes the job a little more enjoyable. My favorite thing about the Steamboost is that the steam pads cleaning solution on them so I have to use less steam than with my other mop. Just a squeeze here and there activates the dirt-dissolving solution and the special steam pads lock the dirt in so you aren’t just pushing it around. Because the steam pads work so well, I don’t have to go back and manually dry my floors like with other mops. By the time I finish mopping a room, it’s almost completely dry.
Using the Swiffer Bissell Steamboost Steam Mop could not be easier. Slip a pad onto the bottom tucking in the sides, fill the tank with water, plug it in, and 30 seconds later, you are ready to mop! You don’t have to put a lot of effort into it and it’s easy on the back. At 37 weeks pregnant, I mopped our entire house over the weekend. The swivel head makes it a breeze to get into those tight spaces like behind the toilet and under cabinets.  It handled coffee spills, stuck-on jelly messes, and paint like it was nothing.
You can purchase the Swiffer Bissell Steamboost starter kit for $49.99 online at Amazon.com or at your local retailer. Steam pad refills are also available with a 20 count retailing for $9.99.

Still living in an RV. 30 feet of tight space with 2 adults, kid and 80lb dog. The steam mop is small and I have a spot where it can live when it is not helping keep the RV intact! 🙂
Messy kids and dogs! lol
I Loove that it only takes 30 seconds to get ready… My kitchen and den (plus 2 baths) are all large porcelain tile and they are a pain to clean. I actually have to mop 3 times. 1 time with a wet swiffer, again with a sponge mop with scrubber, then again with the wet swiffer. 3 messy boys (husband is included in this) a Lab and a daughter contribute to this! lol
I want to help my mom this holiday season with this mop. She is having all of us for dinner and it would be great to clean up for her afterwards.
This steam mop would be great on all my hardwood floors and help to keep them clean for all the company coming over during the holidays.

My kids are always leaving lil messes everywhere & with more people in the house right now, more lil messes…this looks like it’d be great & light weight for quick clean ups!
Sticky things! This would help so much because I live with two very messy men who spend 95% of their time in the kitchen and it is nothing for them to spill jam on the floor and NOT EVEN NOTICE. So by the time I get to clean, it has hardened and is nearly impossible to get off. I suspect the steam boost would help very much with that!
My favorite feature is that there is no bucket or water necessary to thoroughly wash the floor

This would help making cleaning up the kitchen and breakfast room floors much easier, as I won’t have to go on my hands & knees to scrub. Nor, will I need to worry about the was water cooling down, as it’ll always be hot (steam).

WE have hardwood floors in the kitchen, where I always am as a mother. For some reason when I am cooking all our kids are always in there sitting in the floor, doing homework. playing or just hanging out. We also have a baby that will be crawling soon. Steam cleaning that floor is the only thing I would trust to get the kitchen floor clean and get rid of all the germs to make it safe for our kids. Got my fingers crossed.
I need this for my home. I mop daily because my kids spill food and drinks on the the floor. Plus they track in mud from the outside. This would make cleanup a breeze.

My favorite feature is the scented pads.
THANK YOU!!! SO EXCITED! Hope this gets here in time for the holidays, or at least in time to clean up after the kids go back to school. LOL
