I got the Haan Steam/Sanitizing mop.  Works with just water!  I was watching the infomercials nonstop while in the hospital, so I went to Linen's and Things (going out of business) and got one for $74.00 (orignal price $99).  I can't wait to try it out!!!!!    :yahoo;

Merry Christmas to me!!!!


Yes, this is how I have to do it.  My husband is a wonderful man, but can't shop to save his life.  One year I told him to at least get me some stocking stuffers.  You know what I got?  Three freaking, plastic bunny nightlights.   WTF?   He's bought a couple of good gifts in the past, but it's best if I just go mysefl.  Luckily, we usually get something for the two of us.  Last year we got our flat screen HD TV.  He's lucky I'm not the typical women who loves gifts and surpirses!!!!!  I mean I do love gifts and surprises, but I love him more.   :shy;

Yes.  I was oringally going for the Shark, but the Haan was all they had and it was discounted due to the store closing.

So far I would highly recommend it.    My floors aren't sticky anymore!

A friend of mine uses her steamer thingy (looks kind of like a vacuum) to clean windows and swears by it.

There is an attachment that allows you to steam your mattress or furniture.  It's kind of big and cumbersome.  Doing the windows might be hard with this thing, but I do have another steamer thing that I got from QVC years ago that has a squeegee for windows.  That's probably what your friend has, right?  I use that, too.  It's small and a pretty blue!  You can steam the rims on your car and lots of stuff with that one.  BBQ grills, shower, grout, etc.   I love both my steamers!
