Looking for a steam mop to use to deep clean tiles and wooden floors (of which we have many).

Is this one any good: https://www.takealot.com/taurus-350ml-1500w-upright-steam-mop-white/PLID50118394?

Considered this fancy-looking Karcher:
but from the review, it seems LOUD. Not keen for that. Just replaced our Karcher vacuum for that same reason.

Anyone have any tips?

sjoe i don't know if i would use a steam mop on that, i would get it sanded and sealed then it would be easy to clean.

You reckon a steam mop will do more harm than good? The floorboards have been sealed with something. The wood is not raw. It's shiny. Maybe hard to see from the one photo.

i would think it would eventually damage the wood, i could be wrong i guess

i assume here you really want to clean the grout lines, not sure how much a steam cleaner would impact that, here you need a good cleaner and a stiff brush with some elbow grease

Yes, the grout. But also the tiles on a weekly basis. High traffic areas get pretty grubby, especially in winter with people tracking mud and wet footprints in and out of the house etc
 
Does anyone want a Mi robot vacuum corner brush for free? 2 x side brushes. I think it’s for the pro version of the xiaomi robot vacuum.

Bought the wrong one. One brush has been used about 5 times - keeps falling off my Xiaomi robot vacuum-mop before I figured out I’m a dumbass.
