New Reliable T3 Scrubbing Steam Mop
_Steam mops have been gaining popularity over the last several years as an alternative to the old bucket and mop that our parents and grandparents used. Given the ease-of-use, convenience and ability to deep clean without chemical odors and residues, it's not hard to see why! Reliable has a pair of steam mops, the tried and true T1 Steamboy and the newer, sweeper equipped T2, and now they've added the new T3 to their line of steam mops. What makes the T3 unique?

_To see why the T3 is unique to the Steamboy line, I first want to look at the other two models. The original Steamboy T1 is your general all-purpose steam mop. It produces steam quickly, is lightweight and compact. The T1 sanitizes while it cleans and come with microfiber drawstring cleaning cloth. All of those features make the T1 a solid steam mop. With the T2, you have steam mop capabilities but you also get an integrated sweeper to pick up large, visible particles like dirt and hair.

In terms of steam cleaning, the new Reliable T3 takes a step forward by featuring an integrated scrubber brush. Like the T1, there is large triangular steam cleaner head, but nestled inside of that is a bristle scrub brush. With the push of a foot pedal, the bristle brush emerges from the base, giving you the ability to scrub while you steam. This setup is ideal for use on tile in your bathroom and kitchen. Use steam and scrubbing bristles to loosen soil, grime and mildew then snap the scrubbing head back into the base and lift away the mess with the microfiber pad.

The cleaning path is just as wide as its predecessors, and all three models use a water filter to reduce scale. On a side note, one thing I liked about the T3 was with the shape of its cleaning head, the drawstring cloth of the T1 fits the new T3. Personally, I've tested and used several models with the microfiber pad and have always been partial to the cloths. They absorb better and seem to pick up debris more effectively than the pads.

If you're looking for an inexpensive steam mop that can provide you deep cleaning, scrubbing ability on tile and grout while sanitizing on across all smooth flooring types (and even freshen carpet), the new Reliable T3 PRO Steamboy is well worth considering.
