I just used the steamer on my bathroom floor... it was really disgusting. It cleaned it like MAGIC!! It was $25 and my boyfriend bought it at Big Lots or Odd Lots or some warehouse place. I don't know that it would work on big areas, but my small bathroom it was a piece of cake. The floor mate wouldn't fit by the toilet but the steamer did so that's why I tried it today. It does soak up a lot of the water from the steaming, so it dripped quite a bit when I took off the pad, just a forewarning. I quick put the 2nd pad on and wiped up the water it dripped. Just put it in the washer with the floor rug now. Hope it gets nice and clean!
