Vax S2ST Bare Floor Pro steam cleaner

Cleaning my floors is one of my favourite most hated jobs you would have thought I would have learnt not to have light coloured floor tiles any where in my house but no no I have them in my bathroom and in my kitchen  cream floor tiles And with a rugby,cricket,football playing son, two cats and a husband I pretty much fall down on my knees and weep at the state of my floors. And with normal  everyday mopping I really really hate the amount of time it takes the floor to dry and my son is really wanting to eat something from the fridge the hungry gangly teengager he is. Previously to using this mop the 5 second rule on picking up dropped food on my kitchen floor did not exist!.

I have used this many times now and I've been very pleased with its performance. It always leaves the floor squeaky clean and the drying time is quick tl as the floor doesn't get soaking wet like it does with a conventional mop. 

Throw away your messy mop and bucket--the Vax S2ST Bare Floor Pro steam cleaner makes cleaning your floors effortless. It’s lightweight, manoeuvrable and very easy to use.

Unlike other steam cleaners, it uses an exclusive TwinTank Technology to combine steam with a specially formulated Vax detergent to deliver extra cleaning power, right where it’s needed.

Vax’s environmentally friendly Steam detergent cuts through grease and grime, eliminating 99.9% of harmful bacteria for up to seven days. It’s ideal for cleaning up after your kids and pets, leaving your bare floors sparkling clean and smelling citrus fresh.

On getting it out of the box it was straightforward to assemble and the instructions were clear and simple to follow

oooh Sprakly and fresh bathroom.

Ready to tackle those high traffic areas of my son traipsing through the kitchen and my two cats!

After cleaning my  kitchen floor  the coral Mop head came up BLACK !

The Bare Floor Pro’s cleaning pads are quick and easy to fit and remove, and they are washable so they can be used time and time again. Once the unit has cooled down, the cleaning pad can be easily peeled away from the base. To clean the pads, simply wash them in your washing machine at a warm temperature using a mild detergent, then allow to dry before using again.

The Bare Floor Pro includes two 500ml bottles of Vax Steam cleaning detergent, two microfibre cleaning pads and a carpet glider. Though mine came with two Coral mop heads and three bottles of detergent , there appears to be some sort of special deal on at the moment.

A nice clean floor

This powerful steam cleaner is perfect for a wide variety of sealed bare floor surfaces including tiles, lino, laminate and wood. A carpet glider is also provided for refreshing your carpets and rugs.

To steam clean your hard floors, simply attach a cleaning pad and then fill up the clean water and detergent tanks. Switch it on and wait a minute for it to heat up. Once the green light comes on, you’re ready to steam. Squeeze the trigger to release the steam and move the steam stick slowly backwards and forwards across the floor.

To refresh your carpets and rugs, simply fit the carpet glider tool over the cleaning pad before use. A full tank of clean water provides around 10 minutes steaming time.

The next mission is to refresh my bedroom carpet which I shall blog about soon !

Its contoured design cleans right into corners

The Bare Floor Pro can also be used without detergent, if preferred. Simply use the clean control dial to select your preferred mode of cleaning.Once you’ve finished cleaning, the Bare Floor Pro stores away neatly on its cooling base, allowing it to cool down safely, away from the floor

Disclosure I was supplied with the Vax S2S Bare Floor Pro cleaner for the purposes of this review all opinions are entirely my own.

Stop and Stare ...

Would you stop and stare would you if saw a child on full melt down mood? With their back up against the wall tears streaming down the face. Pleading to perhaps have a piece of cheese from the supermarket cheese counter?

Having a colliwobbly because they couldn't carry the supermarket basket...

Going mental because their lunch time treat is 't there  for you to buy...

Are you one of those"well in my day they wouldn't have behaved like that...

 Shame on today's mothers/ parents" ...
They are perhaps the same sort that  chirp up on the bus  when someone gets on with a pushchair

" In my day I would have walked.. I walked ....."


Please stop to think ....

That child might have a condition an unseen impairment, disability call it what you will . But please don't tut and make comments.

These are the very things I experienced as a young mum it went beyonds toddler tantrums , the first few years of my toddlers life were stolen away from me because he couldn't talk till he was 3 1/2.


But you know what I  wouldn't have it any other way because he wouldn't be as confidant as he is today if it wasn't for bigoted people like that!
