O-Cedar Spin Mop vs Shark Steam Mop: Remove Bacteria w/ Just Water? Bacteria Testing Complete!

Рет қаралды 7,451

Жыл бұрын

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!

@GrittyKitty228 Жыл бұрын

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.

@FieldOfFocus Жыл бұрын

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!

@kimberlindy Жыл бұрын

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.

@FieldOfFocus Жыл бұрын

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!

@danidynamite2 Жыл бұрын

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.

@FieldOfFocus Жыл бұрын

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!

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!

@FieldOfFocus 11 ай бұрын

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??? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtSGppB_z9zKeWQ.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!

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.

@FieldOfFocus Жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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."
