Product Information

The Steam Mop Plus can clean up to 120 m² with one full tank of water (400 ml). With the handy viewing window on the tank, you can make sure you always have the right amount of water. I found the mop was able to easily deal with everyday stains, although the difference in the results when mopping with and without the cleaning product was negligible. It may be a process of trial and error. Many brands offer trial-sized samples, so you could give a few options a go before making a commitment. What’s the best floor mop to buy?

The Vileda 1-2 Spray is so-called because it refines the mopping process into two simple steps - filling the tank and spraying the water. For step one, all I had to do was remove the stopper at the top of the handle before adding up to 250ml of water. The manufacturer says the 1-2 Spray can be used with just water, or you can add Vileda’s own Active Cleaner or the floor cleaner of your choice. For the sake of this test, I used the mop with water before adding some Tesco All Purpose Cleaner, as per the instructions.One of the closest products to the Vileda Looper that I’ve tested over the last year is the Shark Steam and Scrub Automatic Mop. Around the same price as the Vileda Looper, this is a steam mop that features a similar mop head, with two rotating discs. While it’s beautifully designed and looks much more sleek and stylish than the Looper, I found I got a cleaner result from the Looper, despite using cold water instead of steam. Should you buy the Vileda Looper? The Looper performed well on laminate flooring, getting rid of tea splodges and muddy footprints without too much hassle. The spray produced just the right amount of water to get the job done without running the risk of warping the laminate. How well does the Vileda Looper clean tiled flooring? Thanks to the microfibre mop pads this steam cleaner effectively removes dirt and grease while also sanitising. Plus, once you add the handy carpet glider to the base, it can also be used on carpets, rugs, upholstery, and mattresses to get a hygienic clean.

Mumsnet has been helping parents make their lives easier since 2000 and, in those years, we’ve seen, tried and reviewed thousands of products. From the handle, a brushed metal shaft leads down to the water tank. This is basically a grey plastic bottle which you can remove from the device and refill as needed. You simply pull it up and away from the shaft, unscrew the red lid and fill with tap water. Vileda says you can also add a drop of non-foaming detergent to the water tank. I also found the water tank capacity to be more than generous. I was able to scrub the kitchen, bathroom and long hallway, using just half of the water tank’s capacity. This is really down to your preference though, if you want a lot more water to scrub with, you may have to fill up your water tank more often.

What we don't like

Easy to set up, use and store, this mop is perfect for daily mopping and for cleaning up any spillages as they happen - just grab it and go! The Vileda 1-2 Spray Mop was tested out on laminate flooring in the kitchen, bathroom, conservatory and the downstairs loo, plus the tiled floor in the utility room. If you live in an area with calcified water, make sure to only use distilled water. Always test on a small area before use The water is stored in the handle and the 1-2 Spray Mop only has a capacity of 250ml, so it’s perhaps more suited to smaller living spaces. But that said, it is not difficult to refill.
