There are two kinds of home cooks: You're either the messy cook who makes the whole kitchen your artistic canvas, or you're the super clean type who cleans up every little spill and crumb as you cook. I'll admit, I'm the messier type, and until recently I dreaded that post-cooking reality when I know I've made a colossal mess on the kitchen floor and it's finally time to clean. Fortunately, this Bissell steam mop changed that for me, and now I'm actually excited to clean my floors.

I know what you're thinking: Why a steam mop? Unlike traditional mops that use cleaning solutions or cleaning pads with harsh chemicals, steam mops use only steam and water to sanitize your floors, meaning they're a more environmentally friendly option and will save you money on cleaning supplies. The Bissell Power Fresh Steam Mop is safe to use on all sealed hard floors—including hardwood, ceramic, linoleum, granite, and marble—and eliminates up to 99.9 percent of germs and bacteria, according to the brand. 

To buy: Bissell Power Fresh Steam Mop $83 (originally $93) at amazon.com

The sleek steam mop is lightweight at just 9 pounds and comes complete with two washable mop pads, a carpet glider, and two fragrance disks if you want your floors to have a clean scent. It also has three steam settings and features an attached scrubber that flips down to tackle stubborn messes. It's super easy to assemble, too—simply screw on the handle, fill up the tank with water, plug it in, and wait for it to light up. Just five minutes after unboxing it, the mop is ready to use and sanitize your home.

I've watched this mop remove everything from stubborn tomato sauce stains to tough dirt streaks from my wooden floors in seconds using only steam. It leaves my dark gray kitchen floors sparkling, and I love that the reusable mop pads can be thrown in the washing machine afterward. It also has a super long cord that allows me to plug it in in the kitchen and still reach my bedroom so I can easily clean the rest of my apartment, too. It even turned my steam-mop skeptic boyfriend into a believer when he saw how much dirt the mop eliminated from my floors. Seriously, I can't rave about it enough.

But you don't have to just take my word for it. The Bissell Power Fresh Steam Mop is the best-seller in its category on Amazon and has over 28,000 five-star ratings. Reviewers note how well it cleans their floors, saying it "cleans grout like nothing else" and even calling it "a magical machine." One reviewer went so far to say that they would lick their floors after using the steam mop.
