See How to Clean Tile Floors – the Chemical Free Way! Cleaning tile can be quick and easy with this method!
Have you started your Spring Cleaning yet? With the First day of Spring being only 2 weeks away (hurray!!) I’ve made up a Spring Cleaning Checklist to get myself organized and began my Spring Cleaning with our tile floors!

I have to admit that cleaning our tile floors is the bane of my existence – I find them next to impossible to keep clean! Our tile has little grooves in it and the dirt and grime loves to settle into those pockets and are really stubborn to clean!
That is until I used the new love of my life – my SteamMachine Plus Steam Mop!! I’m completely gaga about it!
I’ve never cleaned with steam before and I’m amazed with how fast and quick it cleans my floors without leaving any residue! Plus it’s chemical free and toxic free!
The floor dries immediately so you don’t have to ‘clean your way’ out of the room and stay out of it until the floors dry! Nope! They dry instantly! I love that feature!
Drumroll! Here’s the SteamMachine Plus! We are now besties!
And these are my tile floors that it’s going to disinfect and lift up that dirt! See the little pockets I was talking about? I mopped these floors just recently, but they were still weren’t ‘Deep-Down Clean’. So gross!!! 🙁
Look at all the cleaning tools that come free with the SteamMachine! Use them for cleaning and disinfecting stovetops, ovens, grills, countertops and bathrooms.
It’s so convenient to fill up the water reservoir! Right from the tap!
Okay – let’s get busy!! Goodbye grime!
The swivel triangular mop head adds lots of maneuverability:
(by the way – I’ve gotten a lot of emails about my UGG slippers you see in this picture! See these warm and cozy UGG slippers here!)
WOW!! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the dirt that the SteamMachine Plus Steam Mop removed!
For the sake of ‘keeping-it-real’ I’m showing you all the dirt that was lifted off from cleaning just 4 squares of my tile!
Ama-zing!
Here’s a before and after:
Before – Bleh:
After – Wow!
Okay – let’s move on to the bathroom now! I detached the handheld steamer for this job and attached a smaller nozzle:
I cleaned around our shower stall – love how the nozzle gets into narrow spaces!:
Cleaning around the toilet was so quick and easy too! Did I mention that the steam kills 99.9 percent of germs and bacteria including e-coli, salmonella, and staph? Love that it disinfects my bathrooms!
Now you know the secret of how to clean tile floors the easy, quick and chemical free way!
This SteamMachine Plus Steam Mop really is incredible! I can’t wait to use it on our BBQ to get it prepped for summer grilling!
My entire home has tile floors…this would change my life!!!
Looks like a great tool. I’d use it first in my bathroom.
I love how it sanitizes bathroom floors Paula!! Good luck!
Wow, I am impressed!! I definitely need one of these. Will be shopping when I can get out!! I live in Lex, Ky and we had 17″ of snow yesterday!!!!! That’s a lot for us. Spring cannot come too soon for me.
Wow! That’s a lot of snow for your area Sue!! I totally agree – Spring needs to hurry up! This SteamMachine plus really is impressive!!
Woot! Woot! This machine has been on my “gotta get one of these” lists for a long time. Thanks for the opportunity!
Bathroom!!! With a three year old boy, it’s a must! Thanks!

The SteamMachine Plus looks like a winner. Would use it in my bathroom and clean around the shower door and fixtures-love the attachments.
The attachments are so convenient and easy to use! Thanks for entering Cherie and good luck!
I would not only use this in the bathroom for my ancient tiles but I understand you can use steam cleaners on wood floors? I would definitely be up for trying it. Thanks for the giveaway.
I moved to a new house and would really like something to clean my tile
I’ve always wanted one of these steam cleaners. Thanks so much for a GREAT giveaway!
What a great cleaning tool! Would make cleaning my laundry room so easy!
I would love to have one of these. I have tile floors in the kitchen so that’s the room I would tackle first!
It’s incredible for cleaning kitchen floors Sheila! I am ecstatic with how clean mine are now! Thanks for entering!

I’m really impressed with the steam cleaner. Looks like it does a great job!
Oh I love those!!! I would start with the bath’s.
Wow….I would so love that. We moved into a rental house and the tile is nasty. I keep cleaning it and it never looks clean. Like yours it has grooves in it that you just can’t get clean….and as for the bathroom…we won’t get started on that…LOL
My kitchen! The floors have NEVER looked clean since we moved in and it’s just not in the budget to redo right now. This might help! 😀
I would definitely start in my kitchen with my oven.
I would clean my nasty kitchen grout and tile.
My entryway would definitely be first I just can’t keep up with that area with all this snow leftovers being tracked in
I’d be doing the kitchen first quickly followed by the bathrooms. With 100% tile in our home this would be wonderful!!!!
I tried to leave a comment above but nothing I tapped brought up a screen! I am impressed with the SteamMachine! I would work on my kitchen first! Thanks for the chance to win a machine!
What a great tool! Omg I want one 🙂
Awesome tool to have!
I would LOVE this!
I would love a steamer we have health problems and allergies in our home so not using chemicals and killing bacteria would be great. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Bathroom, we have an old house and it could use a deep cleaning!
I would clean the kitchen first, mainly because I think its probably the dirtiest, especially with all the snow we’ve been having, the floor is disgusting
I would definitely clean my kitchen first! Thank you so much for the giveaway.

I try to avoid chemicals in my home as much as I can too Nancy!! The steam not only disinfects but lifts that ground in dirt off so easily!! Thanks for entering and good luck!
Wow! I can’t believe how many different things it will clean and how much cleaner your floors got with just steam. I am amazed. I would love to have one of these.
If I won the SteamMachine Plus, the first room I would clean would be the kitchen. I would love to clean my oven without using harsh chemicals 🙂
my kitchen!
I’d clean our rather large master bath! My hairspray, etc. makes grime stick to the floors and mopping takes some real elbow grease – this would be great!!
Ohhh, with all my pups, this is something I really need! xo
LOL! Yes – this SteamMachine Plus is made for puppy filled homes Robin!! Thanks for entering! Good luck!
How awsome! That would be so to clean with steam. I have 2 small children and pets the thought of no chemicals and not lughing around a mop and bucket …sweet
I’m totally with you on that – lugging around a dirty bucket of water and a dripping mop is no fun!!
This looks great! So easy and efficient to use!!
Absolutely Laura – it is!! It’s making my life so much easier! Thanks for entering and good luck!
What a great machine. I have a lot of tile. I’d love to win one!!!
I’d probably clean the kitchen, just because of all the traffic!
Kitchen first, then the bathroom steam begins.
I love that it kills 99.9 percent of germs and bacteria including e-coli, salmonella, and staph.

I’d clean the bathroom first, but the kitchen soon after. Thanks for the chance to win!

I love that it is a chemical-free cleaning product so that is the feature I like best about it.
Awesome sauce!! Bathroom would be first on the list…. Thanks!
A good versatile steam cleaner has been on my want list for a long time. Love that this one has different attachments and you can use it in multiple ways.

I would steam clean my entire house… Starting with the kitchen! We have tile throughout our entire house and with a new baby on the way I am planning on deep cleaning everything! This steam cleaner would be a great tool to have and I love that it is chemical free! Thank you for this opportunity!
Oh my goodness ~ I have wanted one of these for years but wasn’t sure if they really worked or not. You have sold me. I would clean my kitchen first….then my bathroom and then the entry way and then the dining room ~ I don’t think I’d stop until everything was clean. I’m compulsive like that! 🙂
LOL – once you start cleaning with this baby you certainly don’t want to stop because the results are so amazing and quick!! Thanks for entering Mary Beth!
I would definitely start with the bathroon
WOW! looks like a super handy machine!
Totally the kitchen. It’s an old house that was a rental for a lot of years and not matter how much we clean it just never looks clean.
I would definitely clean the bathroom first!
One of my favorite features on the SteamMachine Plus is detachable hand-held steamer, that includes 6 attachments for cleaning and disinfecting stovetops, ovens, grills, countertops and bathrooms. 🙂
I love that part about it too Betsy – that it has a hand held steamer that detaches! So convenient! Thanks for entering and good luck!
I’d clean the kitchen first!
My favorite feature is the 6 attachments are ideal for cleaning and disinfecting stovetops, ovens, grills, countertops and bathrooms.
I’d be so thrilled I’d want to do it all at once . Probably my kitchen floors first. Then straight to the bathrooms!
My son’s bathroom!
Killing germs and bacteria is a great feature!
I have been looking at steam mops and wanting one so much. I would start with my kitchen since I’m such a messy cook. With cats in the house, I need every corner of the house sanitize on a regular basis
Bathrooms!!!-
Having four kiddos ages 6 and under, I’d run to the bathrooms first. With potty training, I don’t even want to imagine what is on the floor, counter, etc.
The bathrooms!!!
I have been thinking of investing in a steam cleaner for awhile now. A friend a mine talks about hers, constantly. The tile in my entry way would be the first project, quickly followed by the bathrooms. Thank you for the chance!
Thanks for entering Alicia and good luck!
The kitchen floor. We live in a rental right now and the floor is gross!
Thank you for the give away….sounds awesome, I might actually LIKE cleaning with this in my hand….
Also, thank you to you & your husband for your service…
We are previous military, & my son & son-in-law, have done a couple of tours each and made it back safely…(I don’t like calling them tours) just not my idea of a tour…I
I have wanted one of these for some time now. I am disabled and live on a fixed income so I cannot afford one. This would be so helpful to me. For cleaning my tile floors. It would help Hubby too since he helps me a lot with cleaning. Thanks for the opportunity.
I would clean both the Kitchen and the Bathroom! Since I’m moving out on my own for the first time this week, I want to be able to take care of the nice, wooden floors I’m going to fall in love with, properly!
The kitchen floor … Might not need new tile after all (:
This looks like it does an amazing job!
Love to use it in the kitchen First!! This is awesome. And so very easy to use! Good luck to all! And thank you for the giveaway opportunity!!
I would definitely use it to clean my bathroom first and then quickly run and do the kitchen! 🙂
I love the 205 degree temperature steam at nozzle kills 99.9 percent of germs and bacteria including e-coli, salmonella, and staph.
kitchen..my one year old is always crawling on the floor!
Kitchen! There’s only one instead of 3 bathrooms. Lol
i would tackle the bathroom floors. This steam cleaner would be so helpful!!! What a wonderful opportunity you are offering!
I would most definitely tackle the kitchen first as I have very similar tiles that have small dimples all over them, making it nearly impossible to ever look clean, even when I’ve just finished mopping it! So I am keeping my fingers crossed to hopefully be 1 of the 2 winners!
Bathroom hands down..
I would clean my kitchen floor first it is the dirtiest!
If i won I’d use the steam machine to clean my house so it’s sanitized for my 10 month old baby whoso crawling
I would steam clean my bathroom first!!! My boys make it my least favorite place in the house, especially to clean!
I hope I win one of these awesome cleaners! We recently took out our linoleum flooring and installed tile (with the dreaded grout). This gives me hope that my floors will stay looking like new!!
I’d steam clean the kitchen tiles first. It’s hard to get the grooves clean and this would be great!!
My favorite feature is the 205 degree temperature steam at nozzle which kills 99.9 percent of germs and bacteria.
I have so much tile, this would be great.
Awesome!!! Thanks for a chance!

The bathroom, for sure! Then kitchen and floors!
