Reliable Corporation Steamboy 200CU Steam Mop Review

An eco-friendly mop to keep your floors clean!

I don't know about you but I'm sensitive to many of those cleaners that are on the market and it's no wonder when so many of them have a ton of chemicals in them. I try not to use the majority of those cleaners full of chemicals and when it comes to the floors in my house and even the one carpet I always use a steam mop. That's why I was thrilled when we were asked to review the Reliable Steamboy 200CU Steam Mop.

Steamboy

Not only is the Reliable Steamboy 200CU Steam Mop perfect for the home but in my opinion it's an essential for the home and dorm rooms too! It's the ultimate cleaning tool and we all know that sometimes in university and college dorms cleaning is not always the top priority. However fortunately the Steamboy steam mop does making cleaning easier the eco-friendly way. it can wipe away dirt and clean up spills on the floor right away as the unit heats up in under 30 seconds! Money is saved on chemical cleaners as you don't need them and why would you want them? You can use just water and the two washable microfiber pads and clean naturally. It's a sleek machine, has an ergonomic design and doesn't take up a lot of space which is important in dorm rooms. In fact it can be stored in a closet or under the bed!

Steamboy-200CU-Hard-Floor

**Note do not put the oils in the water tank, only a few drops directly on the floor and then mop over it. 

If you do want to have a bit of scent from cleaning then you can just add a few drops of essential oils on the floor (don't put it in the water tank) while using the Steamboy steam mop. You just add a few drops on the floor for example lemon or lavender essential oil, they both add a nice natural fragrance and both of those essential oils have antibacterial properties and smell divine. I personally use them when cleaning my house, however with the Steamboy steam mop you don't have to use them as the steam it produces alone will sanitize and clean your floors, it's just an added bonus.

Here are the essential oils that I use and you can get them HERE and use coupon code poweredbymom for 10% off.  Remember the oils do not go in the water tank.

I love the 180o swivel steam head which allows easy access to difficult to reach areas like corners, under chairs and more. As mentioned you can also use it on carpets you just have to place the steam head into the Carpet Glide for carpeted floors and area rugs. We only have one carpet in our house, in fact it's an area rug but it's in the family room where we watch movies, hang out and it's where our pets go too so it's a well used area. The Steamboy steam mop helps to keep our carpet smelling clean and gets those pet smells out.

I like that it has a long cord, ergonomic handle which is important as I've had some steam mops that are difficult to hold for more than a few minutes! It does everything I need it to do and it's easy to use and lightweight. The Realiable Steamboy 200CU steam mop is an essential this back to school season and beyond! So get rid of chemical cleaners and clean your house naturally with this fabulous Steamboy steam mop!

  1. Great review, this seems like a great product! I hate using chemicals, I hate the smells, and hate it because I have a child and animals. I hate vinegar smell but it is the only thing I have found that works really well. This would be awesome to use instead of vinegar 🙂

  2. We have lots of hardwood floors and tiled kitchen floor that is impossible to keep clean! This wonderful Steam Mop (with the oil option) would work wonders with our wood floors and be a real godsend on the bloody kitchen ~ which always requires a lot of rags, elbow grease and very sore knees! Thanks!

  19. Our entire house is old hardwood floors and they are a pain to clean. Regular cleaners for hardwood doesnt really work since the finish has been worn off in places, and chemicals are really harsh on the wood. A steam mop would be fabulous, especially to get into the cracks in between the boards.

    Reply
  20. This steamer sounds really great - especially being able to reach difficult places and a long cord! I see pictures of steamers like this one pictured cleaning wood floors. Is that safe on the wood floors? Since water is bad for them, I thought the steam might be too. I do need something easier to use that will kill germs though.

  21. i have never heard of using essential oils for cleaning so going to look deeper into this with little ones in my house i hate using chemicals

  23. I use chemicals to clean my floors because I don't know what else to use. This will be nice to have to get my floors clean easier and faster without breathing in the chemicals.

  24. Love the pivoting head on this. Makes life easier when you don't have to move ALL the furniture around just to get into those areas you can't reach with regular mops. The oils are a nice touch 🙂

    Reply
  25. I have tried a similar steam mop at a friend's house. Aren't friends nice to share?! 🙂 I was impressed! I didn't know that this could be used on the carpet, though. I think that would be worth a try on my carpets. I have a dog and a cat, and yes, I can tell they live here.

  35. I found it interesting that you can safly add essential oils to the water before steaming. My arthritis is keepig me from washing my floors on my knees, so I sure could use this,thanks!

    Reply
    • Hi Faythe,

      Actually if you see in my post I specifically say not to add it to the water. While it's safe with water for other things you don't want to put it in the tank as the oils may wreck the machine. Only put the oil directly on the floor.

      Reply
  36. I love that it can clean without chemicals. I think I would probably use Tea Tree Oil too though. The smell might be a little stronger but the benefits are awesome.

    Reply
  37. Thanks for the review. I worry about floor cleaners damaging the wood floors of the house we're renting, and a steam mop could be the solution. This Steamboy model has some great features. I especially like that the microfiber pads are washable, too.

  40. The Reliable Steamboy 200CU Steam Mop sounds like a great tool to get floors clean and disinfected without expensive harsh chemicals! I had no idea that you can use a Steam Mop on carpets and area rugs, I love multi use gadgets. I have tile floors in the bathroom and kitchen of my apartment and the rest is carpeted and I am considering getting a Steamboy after reading about it. Thanks for the review!

  41. I have had my eye on a steam mop for awhile now and would love to own this. I am unable to get down on my hands & knees to scrub the floors so a steamer would be perfect. I love the idea of using Essential Oils as well.

  42. I love that it has a long cord - very important in our house as our house is 100 years old and the electric outlets are few and spaced far apart. Looks like a great product.

  43. Aloha Friend: Yes Steam Mops are the best. I like to use "Vinegar Water" to clean my floors. I've not tried essential oils so I am thrilled at the prospect I have some very special ones that I love too! Thank-you!

  44. I've been trying to win a steam mop for so long. I really like the idea of being able to add some essential oil in the mix. Not only does eco-friendly make the #ReliableSteamboySteamMop better than others, but the longer cord and ergonomic handle are big pluses as well. Thanks so much for the chance to win another one of your great giveaways.

  51. I have an extremely trashed back and anything that makes cleaning my house easier is a plus!! This sounds like something I would be able to handle!! My renters left my carpet in horrible condition and this would clean it in a breeze. Adding the essential oils to the floor, especially the calming effect of the lavender is another big plus!!!

    Reply
  52. I would really like to try this on my carpet and rugs. It's so hard and expensive to keep carpet clean with small children. This would be great on area rugs, since you can't wash those in washer. Having a bad back, this would be perfect to use to clean my floors and not have to struggle with mop and bucket.

  53. I have been struggling with a mop & bucket, & really want to try something different. This seems so much easier to do! I have a lot of ceramic tile that needs constant cleaning.

  60. This sounds like it's a must have in many homes. Mine has three soon to be four grandsons that are noted for spills and running in and out tracking dirt in. I also have a dog and nobody ever taught him to wipe his feet. He brings messes in too. So I will be having another grandson soon and I would love this to keep my floors clean, sanitized, and in the best condition for when my new grandson decides to crawl.
