Shark S6001UK Review

The Shark Klik 'n Flip Corded Pocket Mop is a powerful and highly manoeuvrable steam mop. It achieves a fantastic clean, and the best part is that no harsh cleaning chemicals are required, only good old fashioned steam. It does a top notch job too, and can kill up to 99.9% of household bacteria in ideal conditions. It has swivel steering for easy targeting, and an 8m long power cord.

The mop is fitted with "Klik 'n Flip Technology". The essentially means that the mop head can flip over so you can use the reverse side. This means that twice the area can be mopped. The mop comes with two dirt grip pads. They're designed to attract as much household dirt as possible. They're double sided and are made from a washable microfibre material. The beauty of this is that they can be reused, saving you the cost of having to buy disposable ones.
