A few months ago I was up in the wee hours of the morning and turned on the TV set. There was an infomercial on, selling the Shark steamer cleaner. Well, our white vinyl kitchen floor seems to have some stains on it (they were there when we bought the house) and I have tried everything I could think of to get the stains out, and they just would not go away!

So, I bought the Shark steamer cleaner, thinking that this product might do the trick.

Overall, I like using it better than a mop and bucket. It would be more convenient if they had designed the cord to run up the handle instead of just coming straight out of the bottom of the unit, that is awkward.

The steamer DOES clean pretty well, but it did NOT remove the stains that I hoped it would remove. What it DID remove, however, was the shiny finish on the vinyl flooring. So now I guess I have to find a product to put the shine back to it, or just live with a dull floor.

Additionally, my kitchen is only average sized, and the water receptacle had to be filled a second time to finish the kitchen floor, which surprised me. I had expected it to be able to do the entire floor without having to refill it.
