O-Cedar Spin Mop vs Shark Steam Mop: Remove Bacteria w/ Just Water? Bacteria Testing Complete!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- I am so happy to be testing the O-Cedar Spin Mop and The Shark Steam Mop. I have been using this Shark Steam Mop for about a year and I just purchased the O-Cedar Spin Mop, so I purchased a brand new mop pad for this test. I love conducting bacteria testing with Petri dishes and sterile swabs to see which products disinfect and work well in my home!

I did not expect this result at all! I also have never followed the direction when steaming my floors. So, if you ever need bacteria my floors are probably a great place to get some!
I know what you mean!! The directions for the steam mop are really intense and time consuming! Big thank you for watching my videos! I do hope you are finding them helpful!
I really like how this is scientific and not just guessing!
Thank you so much!! I have tried to find a way to actually see results and so far I think the Petri dishes are doing a great job! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I have both mops and alternate them. It's good to see they work.
Glad you do too!
You are doing the things I have always been curious about. Appreciate the videos. Please keep them up!! Always nice to know what products work and which ones are garbage
I am glad you are enjoying the videos!! I have been curious for a while too and glad I thought of this to test cleaners! I like seeing which cleaners work in the kitchen but not the bathroom etc... Thanks for watching and commenting!
Exactly what I've been searching for while trying to decide if i need a steam mop ❤
I am glad this was helpful! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I'm curious how the steam mop would perform if you didn't follow the manufacturer's instructions and didn't mop for as long as a duration. Perhaps mop for the same amount of time as the spin mop to see how well it works like that.
I wonder also because it is not realistic to mop that much in one spot! Will add that to my list! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow! I’m shocked! I’m really shocked!😱
I have an O’Cedar mop. I think I’ll be using it more often!😆
Thank you for choosing O-Cedar!
@@ocedar: Thank you for a great product!☺️
I am so glad that you already have one!! YIPPI!!! I was super impressed with it. Thanks for watching and commenting, I love to hear what cleaning products viewers use!
@@ocedar I'm not sure if o-cedar has multiple cleaning products or gadgets, as this video is the first time I have heard of it but glad she did video and introduced me to it!!! It would be awesome if you do have other cleaning gadgets products if you guys could send a gift bundle of items to help introduce us to more!!
Thank you for sharing your testing! Happy Cleaning!
Thank you for watching! I really enjoyed testing the spin mop.. it had fantastic results! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
wow ocedar commented
I’m never going to faff around following the Shark directions, so O-Cedar for the win in my book!
I just can't imagine spending that much time cleaning the floor with the Shark. I am happy I tested these two!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your watching and enjoying my videos! It is so nice to have someone as interested in this stuff as I am!! I truly appreciate your support!!! PS: You are my first Super Thanks!!!
Wow, I’m so impressed with the o’cedar!
Thank you!
I am too. I am super glad I tested it out!!! Thanks for watching!!!
I just discovered your channel and I am slowly making my way through your videos! I have a Dupray Steam Cleaner. I usually mop my floors (will be changing to the O Cedar spin mop for this) and then go over them again with my Dupray. I have a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and an entry way that get this treatment.
I don't have a Dupray Steam Cleaner so I can't speak for it but sounds like you have a system that you like! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for doing this comparison!
My pleasure!! This was a good video for me to see which works better for my lifestyle cleaning! Thank you for watching and commenting!!
I love my o’cedar! I ain’t got time for the steam mop!
Thank you!!
Thanks for watching and glad to hear you already have one!!! :)
I'm wondering if the instructions for the steam mop meant that you can mop anywhere for 3 minutes and then the unit is ready for sanitization, then at that point, you go over the areas you want sanitized 15 times so that you don't have to go over each section 3 minutes plus 15 swipes, but just get it ready for 3 minutes?? Instructions don't seem exactly clear. But that's what I thought.
Interesting. That is possible! I hadn't' thought of that!
I have an iRobot vacuum and see ads for their iRobot mop. In both instances there is nothing like hand cleaning in my opinion, but this could be a good experiment too.
I would love to test the iRobot mop, someday I will do that one! Just need to save money and wait for a good sale! Thanks for the suggestion!
I just found your channel because I was researching steam mops and I've already watched a few videos. I love your petri dish testing method. The one cleaner I use all over my apartment is the Lysol power and clean that you can dilute. It claims it kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria even when diluted and I was wondering if you'd be willing to test it.
Thank you so much for watching! I am glad you found my videos to be helpful! I will add the Lysol Power and Clean to my list of viewer requests, that one is a great idea! I do have about 60 requests and I am working hard to move through them!
I have the O-Cedar new spin mop and I hate it! It’s difficult to fill, and tips easily. It’s too large to fit in my kitchen sink, so I have to fill it with a pitcher, and I always spill it. You can’t just pick it up and move it like a regular bucket, because it’s not balanced. So it winds up being dragged across my floor. 😡 The mop head is way too small, and seems to flip while I’m mopping. I find myself using the O-Cedar spray mop a lot more. Cleans just as well without all the hassles.
I guess the Ocedar isn't for everyone. I fill mine in my bathtub, I haven't had a hard time moving it around, but it makes me miss those roller wheel mops! Those were super easy to move around while mopping. The head is a bit small, but I like the size because I can get into some tighter places, it would be fantastic if they had different size mop heads! I haven't had the flipping problem with this one, but I did with my Norwex mop.. it flipped constantly and it is super annoying. I haven't used the O-cedar spray mop, but I will have a look at that. Right now, I am using my crosswave way more than my OCedar and my steam mop. Hopefully you can find what works best for you! Thanks for watching.
Love your channel! I wonder how much difference it makes with having the separate bucket for clean water, or if it's just the microfiber doing it's thing by picking up the bacteria and hanging onto it. I also wonder if you did an entire floor or a couple rooms of floors with the O Cedar mop, if the section at the end would have bacteria on it or not.
Thank you! I like having the separate water buckets so not to spread knowingly dirty water all over the rest of the floor. I should do some more mop tests, you make some great points about possible efficacy. All great things to investigate!
Bonus, it really (for me) makes mopping fun! 😄
It really really is so easy and clever to separate the clean and dirty water! I need to get some more mop heads!!! :)
I'm surprised how good the O Cedar mop is! I personally use Clorox Wet Mops for my bathrooms.
I was super surprised!! I am very happy I tested it!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
This was so helpful.
The spin mop is cheaper, easier and faster
Good point! Thanks for watching!
I have the old spin mop.
Ah! Do you like the old one?
@@FieldOfFocus I did lol
I would like to see how Clorox healthcare hydrogen proxide cleaner would work aginst bacteria
Yes! I think you suggested this already. I have it on my viewer request list. I have about 60 requests, I will get to it as soon as I can! Thanks again for watching!
@@FieldOfFocus No problem
Did you use the steam function on the shark mop?
Yes I did.
I think I just might upgrade to the new model spin mop
It is a nice mop!!! 😀
You can get a smaller bucket from the dollar store to just set in the older version one as you clean, this separates the clean/dirty water without having to upgrade :)

thank you SO much from the bottom of my heart for creating this page. What would be a good laminate floor cleaner and or disinfectant that you would recommend? Something to reduce bacteria and dog odor on floors (no issues with urine, just general dog scent). I do see the linked bissell floor cleaner + sanitizer products, but I do not own a crosswave. Anything else you would recommend? (even if not officially tested yet). I was considering trying odoban disinfectant on my floors, but should I first use an actual cleaner, since odoban is technically just a disinfectant? Or would that serve a dual purpose? Open to any other suggestions as well!
Hi there! I am just starting to plan out testing some floor cleaners. Right now I do have a video on the Norwex Mop with my laminate flooring. Norwex Mop Tested! Can it Remove Bacteria w/ Only Water??? th-cam.com/video/tnVs-NjvfI0/w-d-xo.html
I do have plans to test more floor cleaners this fall. I think I have listed in my plans the Clorox Wet Mop Pads, Mr Clean, Odoban... so stay tuned! Than you for watching and supporting my channel!
Can you explain the difference between sample 1 and sample 2? Thank you!
They are just two different samples of the floor, you can see in the video that I take 2 samples before and after for the ocedar and 2 samples for the shark. Rewatch around 2:06-2:44 and you can see me swab two areas for each. Thanks for watching.
Can you do one like this with the norwex mop?
This is a fantastic idea! I do have the Norwex mop but would use a new mop head for this test.. Great suggestion! Thanks for watching!
Which have you determine is best, Linda??
It is so hard to say.. I have tested so many products.. I use them all so that I don't waste money or product!!!! I think it depends on your flooring type, and how you like to clean your floors. Do you like disposable pads? Do you like mopping? etc. Thanks for watching!
what's in the ocedar mop head that does the "sanitizing"?
According to their website "Multi-purpose microfiber mop removes over 99% of bacteria with water** **Removes, does not kill, over 99% of E. coli and Staph. aureus from pre-finished hardwood flooring and ceramic tiling using tap water, as tested at an independent accredited lab." So it is mechanical removal. Thanks for watching.
Lol lots of work. Thank you. I want to buy you a coffee.
It is a lot of work but I enjoy it!!!!!! You are very sweet and thoughtful!
You can donate with a youtube thank you thing
I have the Shark steam cleaner. Thank you for the test. I always wonder if it's actually cleaning the floor or is it just my imagination. 🤔😅 I sometimes use a spray bottle that contains water, vinegar and an essential oil to cure my doubts.👍🏽🧼🧽🪣 I'm going to view your videos on those topics as well. 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words! It is interesting to see if it is doing anything!! We hope that cleaning products work as they say! Thanks for your support!😊
@@FieldOfFocus you're welcome!
