Shark S6005UK Review

The Shark S6005UK Steam Mop is a grey/white chemical-free steam cleaner. It serves as both as floor cleaner and a hand-held cleaner, quickly and easily transforming from one to the other. Using steam alone, it's capable of killing up to 99.9% of household bacteria depending on the conditions. It's suitable for hard floors and surfaces, including hardwood, stone, tiles, glass, worktops, ovens, taps, shower screens, and more.

There's much flexibility with this cleaner. It's highly manoeuvrable, allowing corners, edges and crevices to be cleaned with ease. There's an in-built steam blaster mode for removing stuck on dirt. The heat up time before use is only 30 seconds. One thing we particularly like is the so called "Klik 'n Flip Technology" which allows the cleaner to flip over, therefore allowing double the floor area to be cleaned. Once finished, you simply flick a switch and the pad is removed, completely touch free.

Specification

We now take a look at the full list of features:

• Dual Purpose - As mentioned, the steam cleaner is dual purpose, and transforms quickly from a floor cleaner into a hand-held cleaner. As a hand-held cleaner, it becomes a precision tool which allows for above the floor cleaning.
• Suitability - This product is suitable for all kinds of hard surfaces. Laminate flooring, vinyl, tiles, glass, worktops, ovens, etc.
• Powerful Clean - Our favourite part is the result achieved purely from the power of steam. No harsh chemicals are required. An impressive 99.9% of household bacteria are killed under ideal conditions. To remove stubborn dirt, there's a steam blaster which increases the steam output for a short period.
• Highly Manoeuvrable - The steam cleaner is highly manoeuvrable, even as a floor mop. It easily fits into small crevices, and navigates around corners and across edges with ease. It also flips over for double sided use without having to touch the pad.
• Two Pads - The product comes with two pads. They both grip dirt to maximise cleaning effectiveness. These pads can be machine washed, and are therefore reusable.
• Fast Heat Up - The cleaner heats up in only 30 seconds.
• Large Water Tank - The water tank has a large 500ml capacity, which reduces the number of times it needs refilling.
