Traditional mops use cleaning agents such as detergent to sanitize bacteria on the floor. Shark Steam Mop, on the other hand, does not need that as it uses heat that instantly kills about 99 percent of the bacteria and dust mites. It leaves no residue and can clean hardwood, laminate, marble, tile, and stone floor. The pad is two-sided, meaning it can be used twice before needing to be washed. Shark Steam Mop will make mopping easier and faster.
