But the only way to get the floor really clean and shiny is to invite my GF's mom from Busan to visit us. That lady, God bless her heart, won't rest before she has scrubbed every cm^2 of the 76 byeong apartment on her fours.  |

Biggest pad @76평? Well that makes me an even cleverer *beep*, but that's nothing compared to having the best M-I-L.

Somebody told me I should try "tongue oil" [sic], but I kept getting splinters. ow ow ow!!

First you get one of these:
They range from 80,000 to 3 million won. |
"FIRST" you get one of these??
Tzechuk, you give me 3 million and I will personally LICK your floors clean! 
Besides not getting the corners or under low sofas (you still have to get in there and lift, tilt, move things around yourself) and having to move them from room to room as you would any machine if you have door thresholds, they don't like steps & stairs. Not all models can detect edges of the floor, so these crazy-expensive "toys" (that don't even do a thorough job, IMO) go tumbling down stairs and flipping off ledges. |

Hey Diggler,
I got my husband to look at the last item that I wasn't sure of and he said it's vacuum and steam clean AT THE SAME TIME. So you vacuum one spot, move forward and the spot you have already vacuum gets steamed while you vacuum a different place... well, I am pretty sold.. so I am going to get one soon!!! LOL.. |

You'll probably be back from Costco with your new steam vacuum cleaner (post pics!) before you have a chance to look at this link which has 182 different models of steam vacuum cleaners (스팀청소기). |

thanks for the info
i found the first one for 250000 at costco and it looks the same.
does anyone own this model and if so would you recommend it.
seems a bit on the pricey side but if it works well it could be worth it.
i notice on that site it has 5/5 stars.
might have to wait until after christmas when we all come to renew our contracts and see how difficult and expensive thats gonna be with the new regulations. |
