Tips from the Trenches: A Guide to Practical Parenting

A short while ago, I purchased a Bissell Steam Mop (AKA "The Pride of Osan"). With great anticipation and hope I used it for the first time and was some what disappointed in the results. My review was that I was unsure of what I thought of it and my lukewarm response created quite an uproar.

Well, I'm pleased to assuage the anger and resentment caused by my opinion by announcing to my readers (all 2 of you) that the steam mop is growing on me. I'm starting to really like the low-mess cleaning and the fact that I can clean my floors more often because it's not such a production to clean them.

With consistent use (and use according to the directions, which I usually never read), my floors are cleaner overall than they have ever been before.

I stand behind my previous note that it's best to do a good bucket-and-mop clean first and periodically, but otherwise it's a good purchase.

Now, please stop sending me all the hate mail and I'll ask the judge to remove the restraining orders.
