Steam cleaning can sanitize surfaces thanks to the hot temperature and even kill bedbugs or help mitigate mold. Plus, steam cleaners can be more powerful than scrubbing and can loosen grime in hard-to-reach areas, not to mention easier on the shoulders and back thanks to some designs like steam mops.

Promising review: "This product is truly a god send. I have referred so many people to this product just by word of mouth. I can have my entire house mopped within 15 minutes and I have a total of 4 pads that are machine washable (game changer). When I was pregnant, I was able to still mop with ease, submitting little to no effort. If you have a little (or a messy spouse) this is your sign- you NEED." —Katie N

Amazon

Rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars

With 4.3 stars across over 42,000 reviews, McCulloch's deluxe canister steam cleaner has a two-hour runtime and a 64-ounce tank. The 18-foot power cord, 7-foot hose, wheels and retractable handle make it easy to move the tank around as needed.

If you're looking for a more heavy-duty option, this could be the one for you.

Promising review: "Put off buying one of these for a while (2-3 yrs). I’m glad I finally but the bullet!! This is awesome! Took me 15 minutes to deep clean my stove, normally can take well over 45 minutes due to me completing taking it apart. Also got ALL the hard water stains off my windows in minutes WITHOUT me scrubbing! I normally have to get an SOS pad and vinegar. NOT THIS TIME! 3 swipes and I was done with a 4’ x 6’ window! Cord is about as long as a normal vacuum so it doesn’t bother me at all." — Coral M. Watkins

4. Or the more affordable handheld version from the same brand

Amazon

Rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars

If you like the look and quality of that McCulloch steamer but don't need something so large or with so many accessories, the handheld version of their steam cleaner could be a good alternative. The steamer is much smaller, with just a 6-ounce tank that can run for up to 10 minutes at a time, but there are plenty of other features to like: The handle has a lockable trigger, plus there's a 34-inch extension hose and 10 other accessories like brushes, nozzles and more. The power cord is 15 feet, so you can get into hard-to-reach spots.

Promising review: "We have a 1960s model stove. I've been battling these stains on here for over 14yrs. I've tried every spray and scrubber known to man. I finally decided to purchase this and see what happens. I could cry y'all. She almost looks like new again. I'm so happy with how well it worked." —Ashley m

5. This mop with a pointed head for getting into corners

Amazon

Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars

A rectangular mop head can pose a challenge when it comes to small spaces or unique layouts. That's not an issue with this Steam & Go mop, which has a triangular pointed head to eliminate that issue. The mop has a 10-in-1 design and a detachable handle, so you can use it as a handheld too, with different nozzles, pads and brushes. This steam mop can also be used with cleaning solution if you desire, unlike many others — there's a dual tank system to separate water and cleaning solution.

Promising review: "The floor in my apartment is vinyl with grooves in it which makes it very hard to clean. This steamer works perfectly and best of all it can be hand held. It has a number of attachments, an extra cleaning pad and a longer cord. I like the triangular head for getting into corners." —Kathleen B.

This mop has a self-standing design for easy storage, and an adjustable height so you won't strain your back or shoulders when using it.

Promising review: "So far, I am very pleased with my steamer. I have all tile floors, and it works like a dream on them. The steamer is very light weight, heats in no time, slides nicely over the tiles, even the porcelain ones that have a little rougher surface. It sure beats sleping a bucket and mop around and it saves my shoulders from aching afterwards." —M. Allen

7. A 5-in-1 steam cleaner with an angled swivel head

Amazon

Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars

Another option with a triangular mop head, this 5-in-1 steam mop can be used as a handheld or standing up. The 400-milliliter tank has four modes and can be heated up in as little as 30 seconds. This comes with 11 accessories, including a few cleaning cloths, window cleaning tools, brushes and nozzles.

Promising review: "This is one of the most amazing tools I have ever used. It was extremely well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. Quality components, especially power cord (which is nice and long) and attachments. Super light weight. I could not believe the cleaning power. I started with the grout in my bathroom and was instantly impressed. Continued to the shower where it got mildew from cracks and crevasses with almost zero effort, even the plastic track piece that holds the shower doors at the bottom. It got the space behind my toilet that I can never reach because there is so little room. Used it on the seal of my front loader washing machine and it immediately got rid of the musty smell. Used it on my sink drains and it got rid of the odor there. I am so over the top happy with this product. Highly recommend." —alisha mckenzie

10. This steam cleaner that has people writing multi-paragraph odes in the reviews

Amazon

Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars

This canister cleaner can hold 48 ounces of water at a time for up to 45 minutes of continuous steam, though the lockable trigger helps you conserve water so it's directed where and when you need it. The 15-foot power cord and 6.5-foot hose give this thing serious reach, and the 15 accessories include handy attachments like mop pads, brushes, a squeegee and more for different cleaning needs. A bunch of reviewers were inspired to leave this machine long, multi-paragraph 5-star reviews, in case that tells you how beloved this is.

Promising review: "This unit puts out HOT steam. I've tried another steamer and found the steam to not be nearly as hot as this one. I have steamed tile, wood floors, base boards and cabinets with this machine and have been very pleased with the results. It has a trigger on the wand/nozzle which is extremely useful. I had another steamer where the only control was on the water unit, not the nozzle, which was really a pain. Lots of attachments that reach up high - handy for tile walls in the shower. I've been steaming everything that doesn't run away from me! Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase." —DH

Price: $119.99

11. This steamer that's earned "thumbs up and 10 stars"

Amazon

Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars

Another large canister option, this steamer can hold 51 ounces of water and even has a red LED light to let you know when it needs a refill (which will typically be about 30 to 45 minutes after you turn it on). Reviews vouch for its effectiveness in killing bed bugs and insects as well as steaming fabric and whole-house cleaning, earning it "10 stars" in one reviewer's estimation. This one also has a child safety lock, if you're concerned about a little one getting near it. It heats up to 226 degrees and has 19 accessories, including two extension tubes for the 10-foot cord.

Promising review: "This is,an excellent steam cleaner! I would recommend this over the lower priced ($30 to $40) range cleaners and the high priced ones that cost a few hundred dollars. This steam cleaner has a large container so it creates steam for more than 45 minutes. The steam is very hot and powerful so it makes cleaning a snap. I especially loved the metal scrub brushes- they got rid of all the sticky stuff on my kitchen gas hood (that no chemical cleaner could even budge) and the tile floor. I hope they sell those as extras. I love everything about this little machine and not to mention that it is safe, effective, efficient and performs better than any chemical cleaner. Also saves a lit of time, money and manpower and makes everything smell super clean. Last but not least it cleans everything well - windows, stainless steel appliances, tile, ceramic, shower, toilets and bathtubs." —Ak2474
