The 9 Best Steam Mops for Tiles

1. Black & Decker 7 in1 Steam Mop – Best Overall

Our best overall choice is the Black & Decker 7-in-1 steam mop. It comes with a well-rounded number of accessories, an affordable price, a larger water tank, and a fast heating time of 20 seconds. One of the best accessories is the Steam Glove, which puts the steam in your hand and allows you to easily clean hard-to-reach tile surfaces.

Several other excellent accessories come with this model to handle other steam cleaning jobs. They include a garment steamer, detail brush, metal grate cleaner, and an adjustable steam nozzle. At 1300 watts, the Black & Decker isn’t the most powerful steam mop for tiles, but it more than makes up for that in other departments.

Plus, it has a variable steam control to handle several cleaning jobs. One last attribute we appreciate is that the Black & Decker 7 in1 Steam Mop is lightweight and compact.

2. Bissell Power Fresh Steam Mop – Best Value

If you need a good quality steam mop for small tile steaming jobs but don’t need all the bells and whistles, the Bissell Power Fresh Steam Mop is an excellent choice, and it’s our pick for the best steam mop for the money. The Power Fresh heats up fast, about 30 seconds, and has plenty of heating power with 1500 watts. One nice feature is a flip-down scrubber for grout and crevices, which is very helpful. There’s also swivel steering to make cleaning around corners and under tables a little easier. Bissell’s SmartSet Digital Steam Control provides three levels of steam cleaning power for tough (and not so tough) tile cleaning jobs. Lastly, the price of the Power Fresh from Bissell is surprisingly affordable considering what it can do.

3. Euroflex Vapour M4S Hybrid Steam Mop & Cleaner – Premium Choice

The Euroflex Vapour M4S Hybrid is a powerful steam mop for tiles with an impressive list of accessories and capabilities. To start, this model features a built-in steam generator that’s thermostat controlled for high precision. The high-pressure steam output and multiple steam settings make the Vapour one of the strongest, deepest cleaning steam mops on today’s list, with a whopping 40 psi of steam pressure.

If you need your tile floors to dry fast, the included scrubbing floor pads help them dry in less than a minute. We also like that this model uses less water and energy than most steam mops but still outperforms them in most areas. The Vapour comes with a wide variety of useful accessories, and the device’s steam booster lets you release steam continuously without any loss of pressure. Also, you can use it on your carpet to refresh it if you have pets!

4. Shark S1000 Steam Mop – Best Gateway

If you aren’t sure you need a steam mop and want to purchase one as a “starter,” the Shark S1000 is worth a look. It features an extra-large water tank for large steam cleaning jobs, but it’s also lightweight, compact, and stores easily. The steam mop only takes 30 seconds to heat up, but one feature the Shark S1000 lacks is accessories.

You get the device and several pads, but that’s about it. Still, if all you have is a small kitchen tile floor to clean, and nothing more, the S1000 should do the trick.

5. Bissell Symphony Pet Steam Mop and Steam Vacuum Cleaner – Best for Pets

If you have pets, your tile floors get dirty and full of pet hair or fur. With the Bissell Pet Steam Mop and Steam Vacuum, you’ll be able to tackle both cleaning jobs with one cleaning device. The steam mop focuses on two tasks and does them well; steam cleaning tile floors and steam vacuuming tile floors.

For that reason, it doesn’t have any attachments for other jobs, although it comes with several cleaning pads. While the steam mop gets 400 watts of power, the steam vacuum is significantly less at 100 watts, although it still does a good job.

Also, while not a high-priced steam mop, the Symphony Pet isn’t the cheapest. We like every Bissell product because they donate to the Bissell Pet Foundation for every steam mop they sell.

6. Shark Lift-Away Pro Steam Pocket Mop

Look no further if you’re looking for a good-quality steam mop that will handle your tile floors and several other chores. The Shark Lift-Away Pro Steam Pocket Mop is versatile, efficient, and lightweight. It also becomes a hand-held steamer in the blink of an eye, ready to handle smaller, hard-to-reach cleaning jobs.

There’s an accessory hose to help you with the garment steamer, and it heats up in 30 seconds. You’ll like the steam blaster setting for tough tile floor stains and the intelligent steam control with three settings. The Shark has a touch-free pad attachment and release for those who hate touching dirty pads.

The price is also reasonable although there is a lack of accessories. However, the Lift Away Pro includes a handheld steamer for hard-to-reach jobs.

7. Dupray Neat Steam

This versatile steam mop tackles various cleaning chores and does most of them well. To tackle a bunch of them at once, it comes with a large 54-ounce water tank, which will last for up to an hour if needed. The Dupray Neat Steam comes with a 17-piece accessory kit and 6.5 feet of steam hose to reach everywhere you need to clean.

It also features superheated steam for really tough tile cleaning and other cleaning jobs. Although this model weighs 9 pounds, it sits on casters, making it easy to move from room to room. The included accessories empower you to clean various surfaces with steam, from mattresses to furniture, grout, ovens, and even car interiors. One drawback, however, is that it can be a pain to carry around since it’s rather bulky. That can also be a problem when it’s time to store the Neat Steam between uses.

8. Reliable 300CU Steam Floor Mop – Pro Steamboy

With 1500 watts of power and a 2-minute heating time, you’ll be ready to steam clean your tile floor pronto with the Reliable 300CU steam mop. This model features a larger water tank for nearly half an hour of steam cleaning and several excellent attachments like a carpet glide and a scrub head.

The 21-foot cord is helpful, and the 300CU has an easy-to-use foot release that lets you switch from scrubbing and steaming with the touch of your foot. At 7 pounds, the steam mop isn’t extremely heavy but is heavier than some. It does, however, store easily and quickly. We think you’ll like the hold & control feature, which lets you trigger the steam on and off every 5 seconds, helping your tile floors dry faster.

9. PurSteam Steam Mop Cleaner 10-in-1

Very light and easy to maneuver, the PurSteam 10-in-1 is a reliable steam cleaner with an array of excellent attachments. It heats very fast and is ready to start steam cleaning in 30 seconds. This model also has a tank that’s easier to fill than most and steams longer than most.

With various attachments, you can perform several cleaning jobs after the tile floors are done. They include a window squeegee, a double brush, and a scraper tool, among others. One disappointing feature is the PurSteam mop’s cord, which is a measly 16 feet. However, the folding handle makes the model easy to store, and at 1550 watts, it has plenty of heating power to spare. Plus, at 2.2 pounds, using this steam mop will not put a strain on your arms and hands.

Buyer’s Guide: Selecting The Best Steam Mop

What to Look for in a Quality Steam Mop

When purchasing a steam mop, a few factors distinguish between a quality device and one that is only mediocre. Also, there are several features and attachments that the best steam mops have, which you should look for if you want one that will do a superior job.

The Difference between Handheld Steam Mops and Canister Steam Mops

There are a few subtle and not-so-subtle differences between handheld and canister-style steam mops. First, handheld models are lighter, easier to store, and heat water quickly. On the other hand, canister-style steam mops hold much more water and heat water to a higher temperature but are a little more difficult to move around due to their weight, especially when filled with water.

Canister steam mops typically have more accessories to handle more cleaning jobs around the house, although some handheld models come with a good variety of attachments.

Between a handheld and canister steam mop, which is the best choice? That depends on your particular needs. If you’re looking to steam clean a smaller area and won’t steam clean much beyond tile and other floorings, a handheld steam mop is likely the better choice. On the other hand, a canister steam mop might be the better choice if you have a large home, lots of tiled floors, and many other steam cleaning jobs that demand steam power. One last thing to consider is that using and storing a handheld steam mop is usually easier and faster than a canister steam mop.

Are Steam Mops Worth Purchasing?

A steam mop can be a revelation if you have a lot of tile in your home. They are faster and easier to use than a mop and bucket and do a much better cleaning job. No, you can’t use them on carpets, but in homes with tiled floors, the amount of wall-to-wall carpeting is usually less than in homes with fewer tiled surfaces.

Final Thoughts

The best overall steam mop, the Black & Decker 7-in-1 Steam mop, has many excellent features and attachments and an affordable price. Our best value steam mop, the Bissell Power Fresh, comes with several accessories and features at a more affordable price. For a premium choice steam mop, there are few better than the Euroflex Vapour, and the best gateway into steam mops is easily the Shark S1000. That leaves our best for pets steam mop, the Bissell Symphony Pet, which combines a steam mop and steam vacuum in one device.

We hope today’s reviews of all these excellent steam mops have given you the information you need to make an educated choice on your next (or first) steam mop!
