Disadvantages of a steam mop:

• Cost

Steam mops can be more expensive than regular mops, especially if they have advanced features and attachments.

• Water residue

Some steam mops may leave water droplets on the floor, especially if excessive amounts of steam are used or if the nozzle is not properly squeezed. This can lead to streaks or water spots on certain surfaces that require additional drying or polishing.

• Limited ability to remove tough stains

Although steam mops are effective at removing common dirt and grease, they may not always be able to tackle stubborn stains or sticky products. In such cases, additional manual cleaning or the use of specialised products may be necessary.
