trying to find a better and quicker way of cleaning the floors at home. we live in a medium sized place (34py) and find it a pain using a vacuum then the mop and sometimes the mop again.
debating buying one of those steamer cleaners from emart but dont know anything about them. are they any good?
do you have to vaccuum before?
does anyone have a make or model they would or wouldnt recommend?
any feedback would be of great assistance
thanks

There are two types of steamer mops... one that vacuums and mops, and one that just mops. The former obviously lets you do both things one after the other (can't do both at the same time), whereas the latter, you still have to vacuum before you mop.

Get an ajumma cleaner to clean for you.

I get my floor clean with a maid. One of the finest inventions ever.

nah id rather find a way to do it myself first
out of interst how much would you expect to pay for someone to come in for a couple of hours a week to do the floors and bathrooms?

Your local YWCA will have cleaning ladies for 20,000 won for 4 hours.

We have one of those steamers as well. 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. Shocked

The steamer we have does not even come close!

alright clever dick youve got the biggest pad and the best mother in law.
now, can somebody give me some decent floor cleaning advice other than find some poor unfortunate to do it?

OK, OK...

First you get one of these:

They range from 80,000 to 3 million won.

This particular model goes for 498,000 in Emart, or 380,000 won on some internet website.

Then get one of these.

Doing this means you only need to steam clean, cos the robot will have hoovered up (oh sorry, that means vacuum) for you.

Alternatively, get one of these:

I believe this vacuums and mops at the same time. Not sure though, better check with your wif-u.
