As Ideal Home’s Cleaning Editor and Floorcare Expert, I spend my days testing new and exciting home appliances. And while I appreciate just how lucky that makes my qualified testing team and me, it's not as easy as it sounds. After all, we have strict rules to follow when testing the best steam cleaners and mops.
Over the past few years, we’ve taken dozens of steam cleaners and mops for a spin around our homes, testing everything from handheld models to dedicated steam mops. But we don’t just clean our homes, take a few pictures, and give it a random star rating based on how we’re feeling on the day. We follow a ruthless testing process designed to give it a very accurate star rating.
