I love the look of my tile kitchen floors, but at the same time, they are a pain to clean. Most floor cleaners do a bang-up job but don’t get into the indented grout. Which means that my floors don’t actually get a good clean, unless you were to get on your hands and knees and scrub. Yeah, like that’s gonna happen!
Another problem is that floor cleaners spurt water and scrub the floor, but if you really think about it – that dirty water is left ON the floor. Again, unless you use a rag to wipe up what you cleaned, that dirt is just spread all over and left there.
In both cases, it’s kinda pointless right? Sorry to point out the obvious, but I am here with some good news, so don’t worry.
I was recently sent the new Hoover Floormate Deluxe and it solves both of these problems and more. This floor cleaner gives you the luxury of a well-cleaned floor without having to do the dirty work.
The new Hoover Floormate Deluxe is designed to deliver the best clean while gently and safely scrubbing sealed hardwood, vinyl, ceramic tile, laminate and marble in a snap. One of the biggest perks of this product is that it has a separate attachment to get that tile {and grout} fully scrubbed and another for hardwood or smooth surfaces.
The tile scrubber bristles are harder, tougher and are of different lengths, to really get into every crevice.
Yet, for smooth floors like hardwood and vinyl – use the Hard Wood Brush. It’s bristles are even and softer so it can clean, without being so harsh on porous floors.
Yet both have counter-rotating brushes to really clean, just like you’d wipe if you were to get down there and do it yourself {which we’ve already decided that we don’t want to, right?}.
This is great news since most households have more than one type of flooring!
The Hoover Floormate Deluxe has a dual tank system – one for water and cleaning solution that is included with the purchase and sold seperately and another tank to hold the dirty water from the floor. This works by a wash and dry dial.
I choose ‘wash’, do a section of floor, using the squeeze and release trigger for solution control. Then, just change the dial to ‘dry’ and go over that same section.
On dry mode, the same brushes that wash, go over the area and suck up the dirty water. Not only is this awesome because you aren’t leaving dirty water on a ‘clean floor’, but when you have kids or pets, cutting down that drying time is most welcome. Why do they always walk through just-washed floors?!
The Hoover Floormate Deluxe {sold at Sears or right from the Hoover.ca site} weighs less than 14lbs and is worth the re-arranging to fit it into your broom closet. You’re probably wasting space with the others anyway. Just’ sayin!
Disclosure: I received product to facilitate this review post. Opinions are, as always, my own.
oh I would so LOOOOOOVE to win this! You have no idea!
Love the Dry Mode feature, with four pets running around the quicker it dries the better! Would love to win because I end up cleaning my floors everyday and this would really help make it easier!
Multi-Purpose SpinScrub Technology
I would love this for our new ceramic tiles. Love that it cleans better than a normal mop.
I really would love to win this. What a fantastic machine
I have a house of cat hair lol. It seems I just clean and there’s more floating around already. I love that it dries quick and is easy to maneuver . This would be awesome.
I need a new one so this would be awesome to win.
I love the “Dry” mode feature…no more little footprints or paw prints, to see running across the floor, right after I have cleaned it (woohoo DRY) 🙂
We have 3 dogs, and needless to say, the floors are usually a disaster. Drives me crazy! This would be a tremendous help!
My house is full of kids, dogs, and a messy husband. This would be perfect for our home. I like that it sucks up the dirty water so it doesn’t sit on your floor and make more of a mess.
I’d love to win this, we have a lot of hard floor surface, which my triathlete husband, 9.5 year old daughter and 2 cats are constantly messing up ! My floors never look clean, and I despise washing floors every other day !
With four cats and a muddy garden, this would come in handy.
I would love to win this and try to see how well it cleans the floors, no more washing floors on hands and knees and I love the dual tanks.
I like the dry mode feature best – pets and kids do not stay off a wet floor.
And it is gently – I worry about scratching the floor.
I would love to win this because we are in need of a new floor cleaner and I really like the sound of the Multi-Purpose SpinScrub Technology
Wow, clean and dries?! Wicked! This is perfect for pet owners like me!
This would be great to own, I have 4 pets and a husband need I say more..lol I like that this machine has 2 different types of floor brushes plus the dry button is a big plus!!
I love that the bristles are different lengths to get into the the grout lines!
The Dry Mode feature is really intriguing. We have 2 cats and will have a baby crawling on the floor in a few short months, so wetness would be the enemy for a bit!
I like that it can be used for different types of flooring. We have a steam mop for our hardwood floor, but it doesn’t work very well, so I think it is time for a new machine.
what I like about it the best it works well on hardwood floors and that its only 14 lbs that helps when you have arm problems like me
I’d like to win because this would finally be a solution to cleaning floors in my house. I love the dual tank system!
My kids are so messy! lol.. Always tracking in grass, dirt, and sand. The Hard Wood brush would be perfect for our house!
The dual tank system is my favorite feature. This is so awesome I could really use one what with the kids and my dog running around~~
With 2 cats 3 dogs 1 mini pig and a man child this would be a dream. I so relate to my newly wash floors being walsked on as the drying time seems to be too much for some folk ’round here. I also live in a pre 1900’s farm house and there is hardwood throughout. I have no vacuum or floor washers of any kind due to the fact that in the past they have scratched the floors. I love everything you have said about this product and thank you for the review.
I would like to win as I have three dogs and two cats. I like the fact that it is so lightweight.
I love that it is not a requirement to get down on my knees to clean the floor!
It looks like it really cleans the floor. As I am not going to scrub my floor, this would be awesome. Love that you can change the brushes!
Love the dry mode feature..so hard to keep my 3 yr old distracted while the floor is drying

I need a vacuum. I like that it has a dual tank system
I love that the bristles are at different lengths so it really gets some scrubbing action done, also reallly love the dry mode feature, my daughter is forever slipping on my wet floors, shes also a major klutz so this makes for a lot of preventable accidents!

Oh man…just the simple fact that I can wash my floor with ease makes me smile and then to be able to switch it to dry mode!! That is just reason enough for me to not only want to win it but the best feature EVER!!!!
I love the dry feature !
I would love this for our condo! In a small Toronto space, the Dry Mode would help make the space usable again so much faster. We don’t really have anywhere else to go to wait for the floors to dry, and the neat freak in me loves the attachment to get at the grout in the kitchen and bathroom tiles!
Would love to win this! Really like the dry mode feature!
I love the dual tanks and would love to win to help keep my floors clean
I like it’s small size for the closet!
i like how there are 2 different brushes for different needs:)

keeping the dirty water and clean water separate!
I love that its wet and dry and looks like it would really work in my house, i love that i wouldn’t have to get on my knees anymore.
Hello from Reviews by Samantha- http://reviewsbysama.blogspot.ca/
I like the lightness of the Hoover so bringing it up and downstairs will be easy.
I have hard floors in my house and also 11 pets, so if i can get it done quicker and get it cleaner, i’m all in.
I like this floormate because its light and appears to be very easy to handle.
Love the dry mode!!!!! Drying the floor after washing allows my kitties run around as soon as possible 🙂
I would like to win this because I am disabled from back surgery several years ago. One of the hardest things for me to do is mopping! This would make my life much easier
Pinching her nipples, too much friction, squeezing her buttocks too hard,
can take a lot off her arousal. One of the chemical messengers involved in this process is termed as cyclic GMP.
It works by blocking the amount of fat that is absorbed by the body.
Really like the dry mode feature. My new house has tile floors so this would come in handy!
I like that it is light and dries the floor too!!! This sounds perfect for my kids to help out more!
What no more on my knees on the floor!!!
I like the counter rotating brushes – seems like a great idea for a better clean
I like how it has a scrubber attachment for tiles. I find tiles are harder to clean so would love to have the Hoover Floormate Deluxe.
I need a new one badly, and love the Multi-Purpose SpinScrub Technology feature
Living with a man that works at a rock yard, this would be perfect for cleaning up the dirt he tracks in!
