BISSELL Steam & Sweep for Your Holiday Cleaning

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

I am in love! I recently received a Bissell Steam & Sweep to review and I have to tell you, it is now one of my favorite things. One of my most dreaded chores has always been cleaning my kitchen floor. I hate sweeping and mopping. I think it’s mainly due to the fact that as a mom of young ones, it rarely stays clean for very long.

When my BISSELL Steam & Sweep arrived, I was ready to put it to the test. It had been a good two days since I had cleaned my kitchen floors. I know, I know, but it had been a busy week. So, my floors were in need of a good cleaning.

We had eaten pizza for dinner the evening before and I noticed some dried up pizza sauce under our kitchen table. I was happy that it would make for a good test for the BISSELL Steam & Sweep.


 

The Steam & Sweep required a little bit of assembly, but it was very quick and easy. In no time at all, it was ready to start tackling my kitchen floor. Since my floor was messy, I ran just the sweeper setting first. I was delighted with how well it worked.

My favorite part by far is the swivel head, which moves with ease. I was able to easily navigate under the cabinets and the areas around my dishwasher and refrigerator.

When it was time for the steamer setting, I noticed that it did take a bit more work on my part to push it around, but it was nice to feel the difference between the two settings and to actually feel it working. And that dried up pizza sauce, it came right up!

The mop pads are machine washable, which is wonderful. You should have seen what the pad looked like once I was all done sweeping and steaming. My floors were obviously much dirtier than I thought.

The BISSELL Steam & Sweep leaves floors fresh and dry without the fumes or residue of harsh chemicals, and is safe and effective on virtually all hard floor surfaces, including marble, ceramic, stone, vinyl, laminate, linoleum and sealed hardwood floors.

In addition to being powerful and 100 percent chemical-free, the eco-friendly Steam & Sweep offers the following features and benefits:

  • Dual functioning cleaning foot that boasts both sweeping and steaming capabilities
  • Switches that allow the unit to be used as a steam mop, sweeper, or both at once
  • Easy-to-maintain foot with an easy empty dust bin and high quality, washable microfiber mop pads
  • Steam on Demand trigger, which delivers the ideal amount of steam when and where you need it
  • Maneuverable swivel head, making those hard to reach places a cleaning breeze
  • Easy-to-fill, high capacity, removable water tank that can be filled right from the tap – no need for cups and funnels
  • Water purification system that leaves floors spotless and extends the life of the machine
  • Fast-acting water heater – ready to use in 30 seconds

 

If you are like me, you have quite a bit of cleaning to do this holiday season. As friends and family come and go during the holidays, the BISSELL Steam & Sweep will make for a much quicker clean-up. Just think, you can spend the extra time enjoying the company of your loved ones.

  81. This is definitely on my wish list this year. I’ve always wanted a steam mop, but never felt like I got my floors clean enough first.

    Reply

  92. This product sounds awesome! Something that sweeps and mops will be much quicker than my broom and swiffer mop, and that would be so handy with two little ones that are constantly making new messes:)b

    Reply

  97. Actual I can no longer clean my floors myself due to illness and my DH is doing his best, it would be great to see my floors cleaned the way I used to clean them and even better as it sanitizes as it cleans.

    Reply

  100. This sounds wonderful for my floors. And having machine washable pads vs. the extra cost of having to buy disposable ones is also a plus:)

    Reply

  104. I love that this one does double duty! We have a steam mop now, but it doesn’t have the sweep part with it.

    Reply

  133. I could definitely use this! We’re getting tired of borrowing my mom’s steam cleaner. 😉

    Reply

  145. I could definitely use this. I have almost ALL hardwood and tile in my apartment (and I’m ashamed to say, I don’t mop even every TWO days, maybe twice a week, as it’s such a task). This would definitely make it MUCH easier (especially since I don’t have a mop-haired dog to help either!)

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  205. I have a “thing” with needing clean floors. My house can be somewhat cluttery, but as long as my floors are vacuumed and mopped, I’m a happy girl! ;o)

    I also have the button on my blog!

    Reply

  208. Wow, I LOVE this! And wouldn’t it be perfect for someone with wood floors? I don’t have them now but hope to someday. 🙂 I love that this steam cleans and especially the swivel head – nice!

  219. I just shared this on FB 🙂 Would love this!!! My robots are both broken so I have to vacuum and wash all by myself. This would save time 🙂

I’ve tried several different mops, brooms, & dusters & have been unsatisfied with all the results. I would really like to win this & it under my tree for Christams 😉

  319. After becoming disabled with a “Special Thanks” to a drunk driver (whom may I add – the bartender sent to get cigarettes for the bar to resale as they ran out – too boot in the bartenders car) Wish I could get him to come help me while I try to clean which doesn’t last very long as I can’t stand, bend, sqwat, for very long periods of time – let alone walk on my own very well – I think this would make a perfect addiotion to my home :o) I would love one under my Christas Tree (well maybe a Charlie Brown Tree this year – at least it is a tree)

    Reply

  325. I’m on the same page as you – that maneuverable swivel head is the highlight for me. Anything that eliminate the need to bend of hunch over really helps me — so that’s the most important feature for me. Thanks for hosting!

    Reply

  468. Seriously? This would be a God Send. My daughter has asthma and we have tried to remove the carpet but not all rooms are done yet. This would be the answer to my prayers. I would know for sure that the floors are clean and my children can actually play on the floor!

  473. I want this so badly that I had a dream that I won it. You should have seen my floors, they looked brand new and my house is 55 years old! I could only dream that I would ever own something this nice. Thanks for everything you ladies do for us!

  477. i’ve read reviews saying that it leaves some floors dull and streaky…is the bissell steam and sweep safe to use with a floor cleaner like Fabuloso?

  493. I think it would be fantastic to have this to clean my floors, especially for the upcoming holidays! I have 3 birds and a 3 year old :o)

  494. It would be so cool to get something that would make caring for the floors a little bit easier – after 3 kids, 1 dog and 2 cats they can get pretty disgusting.

  511. Mopping floors is my least favorite chore. Many times I do it on my hands and knees with a sponge. This would make it so much easier.

    Reply

  529. I need all the floor help I can get. Most of my floors are carpeted, but I’d love to sanitize the bathrooms without bleach and my kitchen? Let’s not even go there.
    Thanks for the chance!

Thanks Ladies, I love this site!!

  618. This is what I would love to have. I have hardwood floors and dogs inside my house and I need it terribly. My friend has one and they work great. How nice would it be to know that my grandkids could be on my floor and I would not have to worry about dog hair, or dirt. Please Santa, this is what I want really, really badly.

  749. In our dining room we put in the floor after we bought the house because all it had was a concrete floor. My husbands co-worker was very generous and gave us a bunch of granite tile she had left over from a project. Unfortunately we were short and had to supplement with another tile. We were BROKE at the time and went with a cheap ceramic tile to make a square with in the granite to finish the room. The ceramic is horrible and it always looks dirty. After I mop with my regular mop the tiles have a nasty film on them and I have to hand buff them. I would love to try a steam cleaner to see if it would make the tiles look good without hand buffing. Thanks!

  787. If I truly had a chance to sit on Santa’s knee and ask for anything I want for Christmas … I do believe this would be it. The one chore that I hate more than anything is cleaning the floors. I also have a degenerative bone disease in my lower back that causes severe lower back pain when I sweep and then mop. This would make my most hated chore so much easier to just accept and do.
