floor steamer

[woofgang]

I am considering getting one for my tiled kitchen floor as it is constantly filthy. Budget around 50 quid, no more than 70. Has anyone got any experience, suggestions please?
Biggest problem on the floor is dog footprints and dribble which seem to set like cement and resist the mop and bucket.

Mop and bucket of very hot water plus a trace of detergent (Flash or similar) work wonders . I work in a pro kitchen with tiled floors and I have to clean it twice a day. Comes up spotless and dries in a few mins max. We have delivery men with muddy boots tramping all over it as well as the mess 3 chefs make.
Too much detergent makes it worse , leaves steaks and too many bubbles so does not dry as fast. Do not bother with a steamer, buy a decent mop and a bucket that will wring the mop almost dry , a wet mop takes longer and does not clean as well.
A good mop with very hot water small amount of detergent 10 to 20 ml to a bucket, then wring the mop as dry as possible , your floor will come up sparkling will dry in 2 mins or so.
If you have some ground in dirt you may need to give it a good scrub the first time or 2 to get it really clean to start with, but then a few min with a mop as suggested and it will be clean enough to eat your dinner off.

Been there, done that, the mixture of dog drool, paw dirt and dry dog food sets like cement.
