Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review: Using the power of steam instead of harsh chemicals, the Steam Mouse from Steam Fast cleans grime, mildew, soap scum, mold, smoke residue, and pet odors. The machine's a versatile and portable cleaning tool for the whole house, with a removable shoulder strap, a 6-1/2-foot hose, and two 19-inch extension wands. The simple-access water reservoir opens on the top, while an included measuring cup makes accurate filling easy. Steam Fast illuminates the machine's power switch and includes a flexible moisture guard over the button. Attachments on this model include a squeegee, upholstery tool, floor brush, jet nozzle, scrub brush, and terry-cloth cover for linoleum and tile. Sturdy and easy to use, the unit provides an environmentally safe way to clean stoves, sinks, fridges, hardwood, upholstery, blinds, carpets, curtains, pet beds, shower stalls, and grout. You can even use it outdoors on grills, patio furniture, windows, and tires. --Emily Bedard

Works great in my opinion!

by Mom of 3 boys 2002-09-20, 14 people found this review helpful

I have owned the Steam Mouse Cleaner for a few months now. I love it! It cleaned my oven with ease, my mother's baseboard that she usually uses a toothbrush to scrub, my tile in my bathroom that I spilled nailpolish on that went into the cracks (I used nail polish remover and I think every cleaning product out there!!! and only this worked!)

It blew the dirt right out of my mothers baseboard with such great ease she would like to own her own! Hmmm... Christmas idea? I think so...
I also think it is great to clean around the hinges of the toilets!!! It blasts away the "misses" from my 3 little boys that are hard to get!
It doesn't hold much water at a time, but I think of all the money I've been saving on cleaning products! Not to mention the fumes!!! I would recommend this product!!

Not recommended by me

I bought this product with all the expectations of this product
working as seen on TV. Well, it does clean with hot steam w/o
any artificial chemical. But the product I received, the cap
would not lock easily. Actually only my husband could make it
lock in one out of 10 times, it's that difficult. The
manufacturer's said not to use the product unless the cap is
properly locked, but it takes more that half an hour to make
the cap lock, if you are lucky to be able to lock it, at all.
I donot know if the product I received was defective or if
that's how the product is designed, hopefully not. Also, the
water finished within 15-20mins. The onetime we could make it
lock, we couldnot even finish cleaning the shower glass's, by
the time the water finished. I'm returning the product back.

Love this product

I don't know why this steamer got such a bad review. I can only say the best things about it. If people would read the user manual first they would not complain about certain things, like "there is water shooting out the first 10 seconds" because that is something that you are told. The attachments are very useful. It is not a hassle to use. You still need some arm grease to get rid of heavy dirt - but that is normal. I love the fact that I don't have to use any household chemicals to sanitize my house. It only smells fresh - without chemistry. One tip for other people buying it: Don't keep the part where the steam comes out on a lower or same level as water tank. That could cause water instead of steam coming out of the nozzle. This is just common sense (water always flows to the lowest point - right?).

I absolutely love it.

steam mouse needs help

by sprint mimi 2004-08-05, 4 people found this review helpful

i ordered this steam mouse from a tv program (no name needed) it arrived and had trouble with this product approx 6mos after purchase. the steam cap value would not come off to add water. i called the company and they told me that they had problems with that happening since i purchased mine and i could order a new steam value. well, i got the new one and it will not screw down all the way for steam to even come out the handle now. i am ordering another brand this time...one with a on and off switch so i can control the steam this time...this one doesnt let you do it....

Great for wrinkles in clothes

by Phil Souder 2002-05-21, 8 people found this review helpful

I have yet to find anything that this will clean better, faster or easier than any liquid cleaner. I have tried on oven grime, barbeque grime and cooked-on cooking residue on cookie sheets. Tried on plastic, ice chest, nope, did not do very well. It did remove wrinkles for clothes, leaving very little residue. Whatever they are cleaning on TV is not the same dirt in the average household.

No too good

by William D. Sutliff 2002-11-02, 7 people found this review helpful

This unit is not powerful enough. It many parts that get very hot and can burn you" dangerious". It shoots water out for 10 or 15 second before it starts steaming.

How do you get the water reservoir open?

I bought the steam mouse several years ago. It worked alright but not great. I didn't use it for a while and now I can't open it up to add water. It's like a vaccum has formed. Anyone else have this problem??

Awesome!

Purchased 20 year old home to renovate and clean for 84 year mom. Grease all over existing modern kitchen was so bad, I thought I would have to rip out the kitchen too. This little machine ate through the grease and deep cleaned everything to like new condition. I did use a slightly abrasive sponge on the areas as I steamed, and then just wiped it dry. It also did a great job on storm window tracks, ceramic tile bathrooms and floors, toilets, faucets, and caulking, and all the other little corners I would have been scrubbing with a tooth brush. I left this one to mom and bought another for myself. Works great on wheels and buggy car grills too - and it is environmentally safe!

Not worth the money

by josephine 2002-09-29, 7 people found this review helpful

I bought this because of the promise of safer cleaning-
you know, no chemicals, natural disinfection with steam etc.
Well, its not worth it. First of all, its a hassel to use. The attatchments are poor quality. Some brushes that came with it melted due to the staeam. It is now in my garage, never to see the light of day again.

So Clean - So Easy

Using this machine is almost fun! It's very gratifying to see results when you're cleaning your house. Steam Fast supplies hot steam without interruption for about a half hour. You can get your whole house clean, smelling fresh and sanitized in less than an hour. Use your extra time that you saved using Steam Fast to pamper yourself!
