Shark S1000UK Pocket Mop Review

The Shark S1000UK Steam Mop is a white and green lightweight hard floor cleaner and sanitiser. It cleans through the use of steam only, with no harsh cleaning chemicals required. It's capable of killing 99.9% of bacteria under ideal conditions. One feature we particularly like is the on-demand steam control. A boost of steam can be pumped as and when needed.

The mop is available with two dirt grip microfibre pads. One advantage of using these pads is that they're reusable, meaning the inconvenience and cost of disposable pads is eliminated. These dirt grip pads are machine washable. The mop has a large 375ml tank which reduces the refill frequency. The mop head is flexible, easily manoeuvrable and particularly good at getting into tight and hard to reach spaces. This flexibility is further enhanced by the long 5.5m power cord.
