the best thing I bought was a Bissel Green Tea steam mop. My dog was hard on my floor, he had a piddling problem, and when it was hot he would be drooling everywhere. So having that steam mop was a godsend.

I'd love to get the shark steam mop, the latest one that supposedly dries as you move the head along. The only caveat with the Bissel one is that it does leave the floor fairly wet and hard to dry in the winter.

I also need to find a good vacuum cleaner to replace the one I have now that is on its last legs.

Anyone know of a good vacuum cleaner that's not a massive 300pounder meant for industrial carpet cleaning? My place is 99% hardwood save for one small area rug (I vacuum every day to pick up fur and loose litter). I'd like some sort of a nozzle to clean the sofa of cat hair, too.
