This viral steam cleaner is a ‘game changer’ for getting dirt out of nooks and crannies — and it’s down to $40

Some of the best cleaning hacks have been discovered on TikTok. From spinning brushes that erase scum from your tub and floors to the latest trend — a steam cleaner! The viral gadget helps lift grime, dust and dirt from your surfaces — even on your stove and in your bathroom. If you haven’t tried cleaning with a steamer yet, we’ve found one to get you started: The popular Mlmlant Handheld Steam Cleaner. It packs a powerful steam, eliminating the need for traditional chemical-laden household cleaners and it’s on sale at Amazon for just $40.

Why is it a good deal?

This handy gadget can make your house shine like the top of the Chrysler Building — that’s pretty priceless when you’re doing spring cleaning. This steam cleaner goes on sale throughout the year, but the price probably won’t drop below $40 until fall.

Why do I need this?

The small but mighty steamer has 1050W of power to blast tough stains and scum that’s stuck to your surfaces and disinfect your home. To operate, pour in the recommended amount of tap water into the water basin, plug it in and let the steam brew. Once it’s steaming, point the device to the area you wish to clean. The potent flow removes dirt from small and large areas, including grout. The manufacturer says it removes 99.9% of bacteria and germs — even mites don’t stand a chance.

With up to 20 minutes of run time, the steamer may be used on upholstery, ceramic, vinyl, laminate, granite, marble and hardwood floors — and it’s especially effective on sinks, stoves, countertops, refrigerators and more. You get nine attachments, including an extended nozzle, a spray cup with brush, a bent spray funnel, one measuring cup, a spray cup for doors and windows, one towel sleeve, a brush plate and a long spray cup.

What reviewers say:

Over 1,800 shoppers have given the cleaner a perfect five-star rating for a multitude of reasons.

One called it “small, handy, reasonable” while another praised the eco-friendly “naturally clean steam.”

“I love it very much,” another happy customer wrote. “… Took a lot of scum on the shower. Corners I could not reach. Love it. I use it for the mirror, the glass window in front of the house. The curtain. I also used it on my container in the bathroom.”

Another shopper said the steam helped with a more horrifying issue: Bed bugs! They shared: “I love this product because I found … bed bugs in my bed, and this product (plus a lot of washing of my bedcovers) killed the bed bugs, which were an excruciating problem. There is nothing worse than bed bugs to make your sleep a nightmare, and this steamer was the only thing that could get rid of them.”

Great tool for deep cleaning,” shared another fan. “Does a great job of pushing out buildup in crevices that are hard to get with a cloth. Spray the spot and then wipe it clean. Just be careful on things that are painted, the pressure was so strong that it started to peel back the black on my sink faucet. Other than that this tool has been a game changer for easier deep cleaning and without chemicals.”
