I hate wringing the mop out - gets all over the place and i get wet too.
I dislike having to "re-use" the water. It gets so gross so quickly.

Having a bad back makes it hard for me to move around the heavy bucket. With white tile, I am mopping everyday. This seems like it would be a great product. Thanks.
I always make a mess wringing the mop out with a bucket. I manage to get water all over the floor and me! I'd love to win this. It looks so easy! Thanks
I hate having a separate bucket to lug around!
Mop and bucket - oh my aching back! Hate bending over and wringing that darn heavy mop -- just hate it! Tried swiffer but just not hardy enough.

I dislike how the water never seems to stay clean enough using a mop and bucket. The water looks too dirty to wash the floor with.
solta(at)hotmaildotcom
I hate everything! I hate having to use a bucket the water gets dirty so quickly. I hate that I have to get on my hands and knees to get into corners or clean a stubborn spot. I would love to have this it looks so convenient to use and would work so much better than the old way of mopping
texasgirl(at)rocketmail(dot)com
I don't like the gross water, it's gross to use after a few dunks, and gross to dump out and gross to clean the bucket and mop after. I usually stand my mop in some bleach water afterward then hang to dry.

I hate that the mop takes so long to dry out. So long in fact, that it often begins to smell sorta like mildew. I guess I can't get it wrung out well enough, since I lost some wrist/hand strength after carpal tunnel surgery.
I am not liking to move furniture myself to get under things!
Lugging around a bucket is just too heavy for me and so awkward. This looks so much easier.

mop and bucket???? i get down on hands and knees and scrub ugh i hate that water gets so dirty i have to keep getting up to change water
I have wood floors and it seems like there is nothing out there that will clean them well. I use a mop, but it won't pick up anything glued on or sticky. Plus I can't use chemicals on the floor so another whammy against trying to get my floors clean.
I do believe the Stamboy would solve all of my problems.
Hi. I really don't like the chemical smell and time it take to clean! Thanks for the contest!

I dislike a couple of things. First I dislike that I have to change the mop water about 3 times to do one room. I can not stand dirty mop water. Yuck!! I have all hard floors in my home. I also dislike the bending and straining I do to ring the mop out.

I don't like reusing the dirty water.
karmen_316(at)yahoo(dot)com
The thing that I hate most about mopping is rinsing the mop out every time I would normally use the bucket. I saw on a tv show that when you rinse your mop in the bucket and then mop again, all you are doing is spreading bacteria! I no longer use the bucket and just rinse in the sink everytime-what a pain! I would so love to win this.

karmen_316(at)yahoo(dot)com
I hate that after a couple of uses, that no matter how many times you rinse and wring a mop, it is never really clean. So instead of actually getting a floor clean, it just puts down a layer of dirty water.

I do not like having to use chemicals. I feel like I am missing germs in the tight corners, (around the potties). I love the idea of using this Go Vapor cleaner, No Chemicals, Killing Germs and Bacteria, Getting to spots I can't get with my regular mop, No Nasty buckets of water.

We have all wood floors upstairs and then tile in the bathrooms and laundry. If I'm not using a mop and bucket, I'm down on my hands and knees scrubbing the floors. I feel like Cinderella, before the ball. I'm very sensitive to smells, and often times the floor cleaners are too perfume-y smelling. I end up with migranes from the smell. I love the idear of the Steam Cleaning!!

Hi, I didn't know this product that is so easy to use existed! I have arthritis in my hands and elbows. It hurts to use a mop and bucket. Not only carrying around the bucket, but squeezing out the mop makes me stiff and sore! It takes the use of hazardous chemicals in the mop water to clean (?) the floors. These can be harmful to the family and environment! Please enter me in your delightful giveaway drawing. Many thanks.....Cindi I am a subscriber to your site.

I don't like using a traditional mop because the floor never really gets clean, and certainly doesn't get sanitized. It's also time consuming & messy.
What I dislike about using a mop and a bucket which I currently do is I feel I am not getting my floors as sanatized and clean as I want them to be. Plus I hate using all of those smelly chemicals.

I hate my mop and bucket because I have to fill and haul the bucket, which is backbreaking work, and it gets dirty so fast. Plus the mop gets pretty grimy too. I have a swiffer wet jet which I hate more, it doesn't clean, just pushes the dirt around. Plus I don't like the chemical cleaners I have to use with both, steam would be wonderful, fast and effective and much more healthy for the kids who are crawling on the floor.
I hate how it seems like your pushing dirty water around when mopping. I also hate carrying around the bucket upstairs and downstairs to do the floors. This would be so neat to have and maybe I would like cleaning my floors.

Mopping with a bucket of water is gross! All you end up doing is spreading the same germs around your floors. And your floors never feel clean. It's hard to get the hard stuff or sticky stuff off the floor; it's almost impossible to get into tight corners, and it takes forever to dry. I have been wishing for a steam mop for ages! So thank you for having this giveaway:)

The thing I dislike most about a mop and bucket, when mopping, are the corners. Regular mops are rectangular, usually do not fit into a bucket very easily, and are not made to fit in corners. I usually have to clean them with a sponge.
