Great Giveaway – Black & Decker Steam Mop

GIVEAWAY

I can’t stand cleaning. 

It’s the bane of my existence. 

I have been known to leave the food on the floor.   And Will has been known to tell me that he’s hungry by eating said food off the floor.  And yes, there have been days when it’s snack time and I just let Will become my human vacuum.  I am clothed in shame for admitting that to the universe.  

So it comes as no surprise that I needed this:

It’s the Black & Decker Steam Mop.  Yup.  It uses ONLY WATER and kills 99% of the googley-moogleys that are growing between my floorboards with it’s steamy-deliciousness.   That means no harsh chemicals.  Not that I don’t love chemicals…I kinda do.  But I also love saving money and the cost of chemical cleaners is crazy high compared to plain old water.

Plus, this steam mop is like the Bradley Cooper of floor cleaning devices.  It’s got blue eyes (that glow when it’s ready to go), it operates with ease, and it’s smart enough not to crack a punchline…or let out too much steam to ruin your sealed hardwoods.  Yup – it has a little dial so you get it right every time.   

And the cleaning pads go straight into the wash…

this is not recommended for Bradley Cooper however…word on the street is that he shrinks when wet.  JOKE Brad!

Of course, I know all these because I mopped our floors.  I did.  It was addicting…the entire seven minute experience.  Why did it last only a few moments?  Well, that was how dirty our kitchen was.  So the rest of the time Will and I played with the packing peanuts 🙂

Now how do you get your hands on this beauty?  Well, they sell them all over.  Very reasonably priced too, might I add.  But I am so glad you asked too because the fine folks over at Black & Decker want to give one of you a brand new Steam Mop of your own!

Congratulations to our winner…

The steam mop goes to Holly R.  (one of our first commenters actually out of 1000+) and she said her worst mess was…

“Our biggest mess was definitely dog related…our pup Bella is normally super housetrained but if she does happen to have an accident in the house and it is #2 she will eat it to hide it…and then throw it up. It is horrific and we have been scarred for life. Lucky for me the mister always generously cleans it up while I dry-heave in the corner.”

  2. Get Me Steamy!

    When the entire first flow of my condo flooded due to a broken pipe…now that’s a mess I’ll never forget!

  3. GET ME STEAMY! My sick dog who had liquid doo doo all night!! Very gross I am sorry!! But so true 🙂

  4. Get Me Steamy

    Cleaning up my son’s vomit, seven times in one day, was pretty messy…and gross.

  5. Get me steamy!

    Well, it wasn’t the biggest mess but it did trigger a breakdown and tears…on the first morning home with our new baby, with very little sleep, my husband was attempting a diaper change when said baby had an explosive poop that went all down my husband’s leg and about 4 feet across the brand new carpet we had put in the nursery. I was in tears blotting baby poop off the carpet. We did find out that pet stain remover works remarkably well on human matter too! Oh, and I cleaned up my husband’s leg too.

  6. Get me steamy!!

    Picture this: one boyfriend (now husband), one bachelor pad, one bathtub with a clogged drain, one year of living with said clogged drain, and one year of said clogged drain bath tub NEVER GETTING CLEANED.

    I scrubbed until I had Arnie arms.

    I’ll never forgive my husband for this. Ever.

  7. Get Me Steamy!

    My lovely husband (then boyfriend) helped me paint my first apartment’s kitchen a sunny yellow and then stepped on the top of the paint lid on the way to the bathroom. Yellow footprints on beige carpet EVERYWHERE. It took days to get out.

  8. GET ME STEAMY!

    We had a rather large plumbing problem in our house about two weeks ago. We put a ton of drain cleaner down the pipes and lo and behold the cleaner ate through the pipes and burst through our drywalled basement ceiling. It was nasty to clean up that gross gross gross acid mixed with interior drain nastyness and a whole lot of black sludge.

  9. Get Me Steamy! I had to clean a home where dogs had taken over. Let me just say that there were things growing that turn my stomach to this day.

  10. Get Me Steamy !!

    Biggest mess thus far has been the protein shake that exploded mid-shake ALL OVER the kitchen/me. I get all UGH just thinking about it. 🙁

  11. I had to clean Tomato Vodka sauce all over the tiled kitchen floor when the husband accidentally dropped the pan just one minute before dinner time. It was wonderful…sigh…

  13. Get Me Steammmmy ! A whole gallon of milk spilled on wood floors….It ran inbetween cracks, and down the trim…It was Aweful!!!

  16. Get Me Steamy!! The biggest mess that I had to clean up was when my son pooped all over his off-white bedroom carpet (he was having a little nakey time!)! We didn’t have any carpet cleaner on hand so I grabbed baby wipes – which worked miracles and cleaned everything! 🙂

  17. Get me steamy!

    I was babysitting my toddler niece one weekend.

    Three words: Diaper Finger Painting

    It could have been worse, she could have used my carpet as a canvas instead of my kitchen floor and lower kitchen cabinets, but hot damn I gagged pretty much the entire time I was cleaning it up.

  18. GET ME STEAMY! I feel like the biggest mess I ever tackled it facing me right now – cleaning out the spare room and turning it into a nursery! I have no modivation when pregnant 🙂

  19. Get me steamy!!

    Our biggest mess was definitely dog related…our pup Bella is normally super housetrained but if she does happen to have an accident in the house and it is #2 she will eat it to hide it…and then throw it up. It is horrific and we have been scarred for life. Lucky for me the mister always generously cleans it up while I dry-heave in the corner 🙂

  21. Get Me Steamy!

    When our sub-pump broke during a heavy storm and the basement flooded. Kinda horrendous.

  22. GET ME STEAMY! My husband and I are closing on our first house at the end of the month and I’ve been packing and cleaning like crazy. Last night we decided to take apart our bed and you wouldn’t believe the nasty mess that was under there!!! Apparently our cat has been using that area for puking-gross-and I ended up having to use a scraper to get all the dried on nastiness up. Needless to say, I could’ve used this!!!

  23. Get Me Steamy! Grossest mess ever. When my 2 year old took his diaper off and proceeded to track it’s contents from one end of my house to the other. 🙁

  24. Get me Steamy. I worked at a state park campground and would sometimes have to clean bathrooms. Let me just say gross!

  26. Get Me Steamy.

    We tiled our master bath and the mess that the wet saw made was hard to clean. The water combined with tile dust and made a paste that got flung on the walls and dripped on the floor.

  28. the way to get me steamy (more like hot under the collar) is to tell my my o.c.d cleaning mother-in-law is on her way over. she’s great- love her. but i don’t want her to think i let her baby boy live in squalor. (truth be told, sometimes true)
    fast forward 3 hours and the kitchen is finally clean enough for me to not be embarrassed.
    xo!

  29. Get Me Steamy

    projectile newborn poop off of light colored carpet…it’s gross and a challenge to get up!

  32. Get Me Steamy! Holy cow do I need one of these I have an almost 16 month old little boy who loves to make messes. It’s how he gets his kicks. Plus we have two dogs and we are dog sitting for a couple of months so our house is like an eternal dirt pile. I am always cleaning yet nothing is ever clean.

  33. Get me steamy!
    Valentines Day 2010, my husband had left days before for a work trip and our sewer backed up. There was sewage coming out of the tub, sink, toilet…nasty! Cleaning that up was the grossest thing ever!

  34. Get me steamy! With two dogs I’m constantly cleaning for fear that I will have unexpected guests and the house will smell like dog! I’ve always wanted a steamer!

  36. Get me steamy!

    I can’t think of a very big mess that I have had to clean up, but I did get mono in college and had it for three months straight. I took incompletes in a bunch of classes and my mom and dad drove 13oo miles to take me home at the end of the semester. Mom had to clean and pack up my room, and I hadn’t cleaned in MONTHS, so it was pretty nasty. Good thing I was sick or she would have been a lot more upset with me!!

  38. GET ME STEAMY! One time I helped a friend clean out a hoarder’s house…he had bought it to renovate the one story home for his wife who had recently had a stroke…at 26 years old :(. So since it was for a good cause I didn’t mind too much but I did have the urge to take a bath in bleach when i was done it was awful!

  40. Get Me Steamy! Seriously, I HATE cleaning my wood floors… it’s my least favorite chore to do! So i’ll take ANYTHING that makes it easier and makes it more fun!

  42. Get me Steamy!!

    A quarter gallon of lime green paint spilled on beige carpet = an afternoon wasted.

  43. Get me steamy
    Cleaning up after birds were living in the chimney. Opening the flue was not fun!

  45. Get Me Steamy
    Spilled and then dried milk, dog throw up and whatever falls out of my baby’s mouth. Yep. Gross. I would LOVE this McSteamy McDreamy Mop Man!!

  46. Get Me Steamy!! The biggest mess I ever had to clean was half a gallon of paint that was accidentally poured all over my kitchen floor and living room carpet!

  48. Get Me Steamy. Once I was making peach jam and I dropped a big boiling pot of it. It was everywhere – counters, cabinets, floor!

  49. Get me steamy!

    My parents and I had to clean out my great aunt Laura’s house when she moved…she was a hoarder. You get the picture.

  50. Get me steamy!

    This is gross, but it was spaghetti that had been vomited up on carpet by a lovely child who had over-indulged.

    I now make sure said child takes it easy on spag sauce.

  51. Get me steamy! worst mess – when my parents dog threw up on every surface of our house!

  52. Get Me Steamy!

    My biggest mess was rice that had liquified and turned purple…. It must have been in the fridge for over a month. Ick.

  53. Get me steamy!

    Dusting my entire house after tearing up the old carpet in the living room–yuck!

  56. Get me steamy!!

    I cleaned my boyfriend’s (now husband) bathroom in his old place before we moved to a new place together. He’s lucky I stuck around!!

  58. Get me steamy!
    I worked for a high school boarding school, so I’ve had to clean up a lot of messes, including one of the kids throwing up. He didn’t even live there!

  59. Get Me Steamy
    My roommate dropped a gallon of milk on the carpet and thought putting a towel on top of it would clean it up. I came home the next day to a super smelly and hard to clean mess.

  60. GET ME STEAMY!

    The biggest mess was just a couple weeks ago…when the puppy was very sick. No need to say more 😉 Let’s just end with the fact that a steam mop would have been quite wonderful!

  61. Get Me Steamy!
    Biggest mess: cat with a leaky butt. She made a very unsanitary mess in the kitchen.

  62. My pets know how to get me steamy and all my big messes revolve around them. There was the unopened glass beer bottle that the cat knocked on the floor and somehow (4 months later) I’m still finding slivers of glass and my kitchen still sometimes smells like a frat house. The Great Dane who eats grass (b/c he’s stupid) and then pukes it all back up upon arrival back into the house. The Great Danes explosive poop after my husband gave him rotten meat (by accident!). My long hair orange cat who leaves hair EVERYWHERE. And my clumsy 6’5” husband who knocks over a glass of water if he’s within 10 feet of it.

  63. Get me steamy!

    My dog got sick during the night in several different locations. It was like a really terrible scavenger hunt!

  64. Get me Steamy! I need to do the bathroom floors. You know its bad when you ban company from using them. Shame.

  65. Get Me Steamy! The biggest mess I have dealt with was cleaning out a house that had been empty for two years but the owners left the kitty door open. Needless to say, the carpet went straight to the dump!

  66. Get me steamy! The biggest mess was when a pipe burst in the house and then cleaning up after the renovation guys “fixed” everything.

  67. Get me steamy. I seriously need one of these in my life. The messiest mess I’ve had to clean up was easily after my one year old’s birthday party. Seriously, there was everything on that floor from dirt to dried pieces of smash cake.

  68. Get Me Steamy!!! I think the biggest mess I’ve cleaned to date was a toddler’s overflowing diaper. Eeewww!

  70. GET ME STEAMY!!!!!

    Biggest mess just happened this past week – I spilled something yummy on the floor, the hubs walked in it, then the ants came to slurp it up. Dis. Gust. Ing.

  71. Get me steamy! Biggest mess? Probably moving out of my college apartment or cleaning up after my college parties. My house may be far from clean now but it could always be worse…like college worse 🙂

  72. GET ME STEAMY!!

    Was babysitting at a neighbors “grownup” birthday party (I regularly babysat their two small children)when more children then “estimated” showed up with their parents. In an effort to get the mass of children under 7 out the door and to the park before their parents went mental, the diaper bag was forgotten. After a PAINFUL 10 minute walk to the park, and another 10 minutes convincing the kids to play in the same general area, the child I normally sat for needed to be changed. I expertly whipped off his diaper and threw it in the trash… Not only did I have to cinvince the kids to leave the park, I had to carry the two year old “bum up/out” all the way back to the house and avoid the party goers in an effort not to smear any poor bystander with what could only be described as ONE BIG STINKIN MESS!

  73. Get me steamy!

    In college, I worked as a lifeguard in the summers. The worst mess I had to clean was most definitely any time a child had a #2 accident in the pool. We would always call “not it” to be the one to have to get it out of the pool.

    Gross!

  75. Get me steamy!

    My grout needs to be resealed, but I didn’t know this was an option. I spent some quality time with a toothbrush scrubbing grout lines–a definite low point!

  76. Get Me Steamy!!!

    Between kids and pets, you name it. They’ve all been sick at some point or they’ve gotten into something they shouldn’t have plus they track in the loveliest messes.

  77. Get Me Steamy!

    Ok so…it’s kinda gross but the biggest mess I ever tackled was when my little brother (we’re 15 years apart) was a baby and he decided to take off his diaper and rub it’s uhm…contents…all over his bedroom wall while I was babysitting him. It was totally disgusting and I plan to humiliate him with the story when he eventually meets a nice girl, gets married, has babies, or any other situation where I can embarrass him in front of large amounts of people.

  79. Get me steamy!!

    I have a very large, very hairy yellow lab/golden retriever. And wood floors. Which means there are little furry tumbleweeds ALL over the place. Sweeping only swirls them around. So I NEED THIS! Please don’t make me beg Santa for it.

  80. Get Me Steamy!

    Finding cat vomit in the middle of night with my bare feet, which lead to foot prints of cat vomit down the hall. Or brother-in-law vomit all over my floor in the middle of night which lead to hand prints of said vomit on my new couch. Or any number of other messes involving vomit. Maybe not the biggest messes but definitely the most disgusting to me! (Slightly nauseous thinking of them…)

  81. Get me steamy!
    The biggest (and most disgusting mess) would be when the sewer backed up in our basement- twice!

  83. GET ME STEAMY!!!

    My dog ate something not so nice…the grout on my tile floor will never be the same!!

  84. Get me steamy. No really, we need a steam mop!

    Potty training kids has left us with quite a few nasty messes to clean up, and I too have been guilty of letting my littlest eat food off the kitchen floor.

  85. Get Me Steamy!

    I worked for a summer camp one year, and they did an egg drop event where the kids made structures to try and protect their eggs. Unfortunately, most were not successful! It was the grossest mess ever!

  86. Get me steamy!!
    Biggest mess I ever tackled was when I dropped a bag of flour in our kitchen & it exploded everywhere!! I’m still finding flour in strange places…

  87. GET ME STEAMY! I dropped a gallon of milk and it cracked and went all over the kitchen floor, and under the fridge. That was awesome. 😉

  88. Get Me Steamy!
    Biggest Mess: Cleaning a townhouse that had been occupied by five girls (including me) when graduating from college. Disgusting!

  89. Get me steamy!! 🙂 The biggest mess I ever tackled was cleaning the baseboards in my whole house when my boyfriend (now fiance) came to meet my parents the first time. I don’t think those babies had ever been cleaned before!

  90. Get me steamy!

    One time I brought my laundry back upstairs into my apartment and apparently hadn’t closed the detergent all the way. My two adorable and very new kittens played with it and knocked it over without my noticing. Most of the big ol’ family size container was spreading across the carpet by the time I noticed.

  91. GET ME STEAMY! By far the biggest mess I’ve had to clean up was two weeks ago when our septic system decided to gush into our basement!

  92. Get me steamy!! There’s few things worse than waking up in the morning and finding dog puke randomly around the house!

  93. Get Me Steamy!

    The biggest mess is yet to come…I’m in the process of buying a fixer-upper for my first house. This would really come in handy!!!

  94. Get Me Steamy

    The biggest mess I’ve cleaned up so far was dog related. In a rental apartment. At 3am.

  95. Get me steamy!!

    I think cleaning baby diapers once they start eating solid foods is a pretty darn big mess!

  96. Get me steamy!!
    The last time my toddler had a stomach bug and was up throwing up all night. On the floor, in the bed, on the carpet. A huge mess!

  97. Get me steamy!

    I’ve cleaned up so much disgusting-ness since becoming a mom. I’ll spare you those stories and say the biggest mess was cleaning out my old basement after a flood.

  99. Get me steamy!

    The cats leave me awesome messes all of the time, but the biggest was when we spilled almost an entire can of paint on the floor. That was the worst!

  100. Get Me Steamy!
    The biggest mess I’ve had to clean, was when my oldest sister bought their house, the basement was horrible, the previous owners had let the dogs and kids use the basement as they wanted, and that included as a bathroom. Disgusting!

  101. Get Me Steamy!!

    I’m a preschool teacher! Imagine the mess that 14 two year olds make! I’ve been eyeing up one of these for months!

  102. Get me steamy!

    Um, probably my house this weekend…I swear we’ve been living like animals!

  103. Get me steamy! I worked at a kids gymnastics center and one day a child threw up all over the big red mat, the other kids in the class proceded to create their own slip n slide through the vomit- grossest mess to clean up EVER!

  104. Get me steamy!

    One summer when I was in college I worked as a housekeeper at a bed and breakfast. Scrubbing other people’s tubs and toilets and changing sheets of honeymooners was not so fun. Definitely gave me an appreciation for people who do that job for more than a summer!

  105. Get Me Steamy! My hardwood floors need this!

    Biggest mess? I had the stomach bug from Hades a couple weekends ago and I have to snake my own toilet. I will never forget that.

  106. Get me steamy!

    the grossest and hardest thing to clean up: cat pee. you can clean it to the point of not being able to see it, but getting the SMELL out is the worst!!!

  107. Get me steamy! When we got our puppy we did more mopping than ever before. Puppies know how to make their messes thats for sure!

  108. Get me steamy! When I moved into my new place, the previous tenants had left it a huge mess. That mop would definitely have come in handy for the sticky floors

  109. ”Get Me Steamy” Our cats got a little “territorial” when we had our first baby. Fun times…

  110. Get me steamy!

    The biggest mess I’ve ever tackled was when I helped my future husband move out of his college apartment. The place was shared by three guys… I still kind of shudder when I think about it.

  111. GET ME STEAMY!!! Hmm…probably cleaning/scrubbing our stand up shower when we moved in the new house. It took lots and lots of elbow grease.

  112. Get Me Steamy! Cleaning out my car is always gross…sticky Pepsi and food stains…finding old fries that have been in there who knows how long..haha.

  115. Get me Steamy! My biggest mess was cleaning up the contents of a brand new bottle of Costco-sized laundry detergent after my dryer vibrated it onto the floor. Messy AND expensive.

  116. Get me steamy!!

    So far the biggest mess was probably my bedroom as a teenager. 🙂 BUT, my husband and I are bringing home our new puppy in a couple of weeks and now that I’ve read the horror stories above…I’m not so sure we should! (Or we should at least have this steam mop first!)

  117. Get me steamy!!

    Doggie poops on the floor with pee on top! hahaaha I often have four dogs in the house…my girl dog HAS to pee on all poops she sees…if someone has an accident she has an internal struggle and always pees on it. it’to a lovely surprise to get home to.

  120. Get me steamy!

    Biggest mess is my as yet to be cleaned house right this very second. Bleh!

  121. GET ME STEAMY!

    It was a real pain cleaning our entire living room/kitchen last summer after we completed a major kitchen remodel! Practically had to move out of those rooms to get all the areas where furniture was sitting. But I won’t complain too much because we did have a spanking new kitchen at the end of it all!

  122. Get me steamy! A few years ago, only a couple months after we were married, I had made whiskey glazed carrots for dinner. They were to die for. Lick the pan with your tongue good. After dinner my husband was cleaning up the left overs and he spilled the pot. Whiskey glaze when down the cabinets on the floor and into the laundry basket filled with clean clothes. It was pretty devastating. Weirdly I didn’t freak out and said it was okay and helped him clean it up. It was a big moment in our marriage. He was used to being yelled at as a kid for spills and mishaps, and yet I responded with grace. Whoops, didn’t mean to get all preachy.

  123. PLEASE “GET ME STEAMY”!

    I had a different brand steam mop for maybe 1 1/2 years and the thing stopped steaming a few months ago! I have been using old mop and bucket technique and HATING every second of it!

    I would love to WIN this and be relieved of all the back breaking work!

  124. Get Me Steamy! Well, I won’t give too many details, but my husband and I put new carpet in our home and around the same time our 6 month old puppy had to have surgery on her mouth. She was still being crated during the day, but her pain medicine made her sick and she pooped (very messily) everywhere. Even though she was crated, it got quite a few places. It was NOT fun to clean up.

  125. Get me steamy!!

    Two months ago when my poor dog got sick in the middle of the night with a gun-shot blast of liquid dog poop all over our carpet! Sad face. Even Folex had a hard time dealing with that one.

  126. GET ME STEAMY!!

    When we moved into our house this winter, it was obvious that the previous owners NEVER cleaned the top of the microwave and fridge in the whole 10 years they lived here. It makes me want throw up in mouth thinking of how gross it was. I got the job done with CLR.

  127. get me steamy!!! a little girl that came to a baby shower i threw for my bff threw up all over my living room which acid etched my travertine floors. 🙁

  128. Hmm painting the wood siding outside and spilled an entire can of paint from the top of the ladder down a window and into my garden. Not sure a floor steamer would have helped that one but it was messy nonetheless! 🙂

  129. Get Me Steamy! Worst mess was stomped tomatoes all over the living room carpet. How? We had just bought an armful of them and made the mistake of leaving them on the counter when we left for dinner. Our mixed-nut Lab, Hudson, took each and every one of them off the counter and into the living room where he must have decided they were some kind of strange red balls for him to play with like he does the tennis balls. Although a horrible mess the thought of him jumping and pouncing on the tomatoes trying to get them to roll still cracks me up!

  130. Get me steamy!

    Cleaning out the fridge is always, by far, the most scarring experience.

  131. Get me steamy!

    One summer when we were all about 22, I lived with my brother and two cousins (both boys). Their cleaning philosophy invovled closing their eyes and figuring if they didnt think about it, it might just clean itself. I think there are cleaner frathouses.

  135. Get me steamy!

    Twin Beagle puppies who got sick (at the same time of course) all over the house – vomit and doo doo everywhere! Let’s just say I feel fully prepared for motherhood when the time comes…

  136. Oh please, GET ME STEAMY!!! I have a lovely basement that likes to be mean and flood when it rains. I could sure use this to help me mop when this happens. Thanks for the opportunity!!

  137. Get me steamy, baby!

    I have two dogs: a one year old black lab/ Australian shepherd mix and a yorkie/chihuahua mix. Plus a baby due this feb/March. Dogs are ALWAYS making huge (nasty) messes inside that I have to clean and that I’ll have to soon be extra diligent about keeping clean.

  138. Get Me Steamy! Biggest mess recently was cleaning out my parents’ freezer. It’s one of those bottom-drawer kinds and there was all kind of food that had spilled behind and under the drawer and some popsicles that had thawed and refrozen.

  140. Get me steamy! My mom was making cosmos once and shook the martini shaker so hard the top flew off and went all over the kitchen. We helped clean up and then made more 🙂

  141. Get Me Steamy! Biggest mess I will NOT be tackling… the basement of our new house. Too many cobwebs and creepy things. A job for the husband 🙂

  142. Get me steamy! Probably cleaning out my great-grandmother’s house after she passed away!

  143. Get Me Steamy!!

    Due to crazy circumstances, our basement flooded in February. Now that was a mess to clean up!!

    We have wood floors everywhere, except the basement and bathrooms. I never feel like i get the floors clean enough. It can get pricey trying out different things too.

  144. Get me steamy! Still don’t know HOW it happened, but once while baking a pizza, the glass window shattered – startling and messy. Bummer!

  145. Get me Steamy!

    Biggest mess I have ever tackled? I don’t know… I make a lot of messes… and they are all big 🙂
    I also don’t have many hard-wood floors- but my mom could really use this thing! She is looking for something that cleans really well but doesn’t require “getting down on your hands and knees” to get the floor really really clean. This would make a great Christmas present for her! 🙂

    Thanks!

  147. GET ME STEAMY!! The biggest mess I’ve tackled would probably have to be my bathroom when we first moved in. YUCK!

  148. Get me steamy!

    We recently pulled our bucket seat out of the basement in anticipation of baby #2 in T-minus two weeks. The dampness in the basement prevailed despite the dehumidifier, so said car seat was covered in about 1/4 inch of mold! Not even mildew, but flat out mold. Gross!!

  149. Get me steamy! Cleaning out the fridge at my college house when my roommate hadn’t removed any of her food for 4 months! Ewww!

  150. Get Me Steamy!

    When I first started dating my husband he was living with a friend of his who was insanely dirty. I cleaned his apartment- coffee grounds in the rug and cigarette ash everywhere. Disgusting!

  151. Get Me Steamy!

    Well… mine involves dog-sitting an English Mastiff with a bladder/bowel issue. ‘Nuff said.

  153. what’d really ‘get me steamy’ would be feeling like all the gunk is actually off of our laminate apartment floors. there’s only so much chemical-ness I can throw at it before I feel icky. fingers crossed, thanks for posting the giveaway!

  154. Get me steamy!

    When moving into a new house, the previous owners left it disgusting. Cat/dog pee all over the carpets which we just tore out before moving in…. disgusting kitchen etc.

  155. Get Me Steamy!

    We have two dogs and dark hardwood floors. My big messy (that sounds dirty) is attempting to clean up all their dog hair every other day… yep, I said EVERY OTHER DAY. If I was a good house-cleaner, my floors would really like it to be every other day. But seriously…

  156. Get Me Steamy – the biggest mess I’ve ever cleaned up is when my husband spilled an entire 2-gallon pitcher of pink lemonade right in front of the fridge and stove and about 2 feet from the carpet in the dining room. Needless to say, it was a BIG sticky messy under the fridge and stove on the cabinets, carpet, and everywhere!

  157. Get Me Steamy!

    A bottle of red wine fell off of a shelf in my kitchen, hit the counter and cracked open, then smashed all over my WHITE tile floors. White cabinets, white floors, red wine and glass *everywhere*. It was a disaster, and I was scared that if I didn’t mop it all up as quickly as possible, my floor would be dyed pink! At the time, all I could think was “I wish I had a steam mop to tackle this!!” (esp since red wine leaves everything sticky!)

  159. Get me steamy! I need this like whoa.
    & I just bought a house, so I have no money with which to buy fun cleaning accessories. 🙂

  161. get me steamy!

    in camden, nj, i volunteered for habitat for humanity. we were “cleaning” out a boarded up, abandoned house.

    haven’t thought about that mess since college and now i have the heebie-jeebies. it does put my home’s filth into perspective, though.

  162. GET ME STEAMY!! Probably the biggest mess was when my son threw up in the backseat of my car…all over the carpet floor. And the seat. And the inside door panel. You get the idea. Oh yeah- the other big mess…because the good memories are flooding now…was when my other son took off his pants and pooped on my family room carpet. And not easily picked-up poop- the other kind. Anyhoo- we don’t own that car or house anymore!! 🙂

  163. GET ME STEAMY! I worked in food service as a teen…cleaned up lots of fun junk off the floor! 🙂

  166. Get me steamy…

    I’m crazy and enjoy cleaning. I’m moving from the east coast to the west and would love this to clean my new place.

  167. Get Me Steamy

    So as to not get too graphic. I had two kids with the flu at the same time and everything they ate came out both ends at about the same time for a whole night. MISERABLE!

  168. Get me steamy!

    I would rather not re-live the nightmare… but I used to have one of these, and it was the holy grail of cleaning.

  169. Get me steamy!

    This probably wasn’t the biggest but definitely the most annoying…laundary detergent leaked (a whole bottle) from one floor to the next. In between floorborads and in every crack and crevice, it was a disaster! It does seem like an oxymoron…a soapy messy!

  171. Get ME steamy! It seems like every time I clean my house it’s the biggest mess I’ve ever tackled because I procrastinate so. But truthfully probably every time I MOVE it’s the biggest mess ever!

  173. Get Me Steamy!

    Grape juice sprayed all over my classroom. ALL. OVER. MY. CLASSROOM! Including all the books in the book baskets on all the bookshelves. I had to clean each one individually!

  175. Get me steamy!

    Anytime I’m finished cooking dinner in the kitchen = big old mess! I would love to have one of these.

  176. GET ME STEAMY!

    When my boyfriend and I moved in together, he brought with him Spooky, a sweet cat. But he neglected to clean Spooky’s box for the whole 3 years he had her. So I tackled it. I soaked the liter box in Lysol and hot water for a few hours, and scrubbed it clean with a magic eraser. It looked brand new! And Spooky was very pleased.

  177. Get me steamy!!!

    We moved into a foreclosure that was formerly owned by people that must have fried everything. The house was empty for a few years before we purchased it so imagine a nice film of grease on everything in the kitchen with two years of dust…..so nasty. The reason we know they fried everything is the 2” thick puddle of grease in the bottom drawer of the ranger that had dripped down…..ugh I am gagging thinking about it. (Thank god my mom took cleaning the kitchen duty when we had a big clean the house party!)

  179. GET ME STEAMY! The biggest mess I ever made and cleaned up was when I spilt a gallon of canola oil all over my kitchen (tile) floor. Do you know how hard it is to clean up a gallon of oil?????????? I still slip and slide in there!

  180. Get me steamy!

    Cleaning up after a flip cup tournament is probably the worst I’ve ever done.

  181. Get Me Steamy!

    When I moved into my house, there was a room that was an absolute disaster. The first owners of the house used it as a gardening shed (picture permanent dirt and bugs and grossness), the second owner rented to a filthy tenant who not once opened the door in 13 years, let alone cleaned the room. Cleaning that room with it’s dirt stained pegboard walls and it’s 20+ years of filth was the worst mess I have ever seen…let alone cleaned!

  184. Get me steamy! Definitely when my parent’s dog had quite the accident on their carpeted bedroom floor. I was the first one home and could smell it as soon as I walked in, even though she was two floors up and behind a closed door. My sister got home soon after and we took shifts cleaning and gagging. To this day I still think my mother was not adequately thankful. And I will never be the same.

  185. Get me steamy!

    This one is not for those with a weak stomach… Last year our two boston terrier puppies thought it would be a good idea to crap all over themselves in the middle of the night. The next morning’s mess was not one I would wish upon my worst enemy! Well… maybe my worst enemy! 🙂

  186. Get me steamy!!

    3 kids (2 of them boys, need I say more), 1 large dog, and a United States Marine as a husband. Everyday is the biggest mess I have ever cleaned up with all the dirt this crew drags in on my hardwood floors that show every piece of dirt! 🙂

  187. Get me steamy! I am currently battling red nail polish vs beige carpet and I am not sure who is winning. 🙁

  188. Get Me Steamy!

    I painted a board in my classroom with magnetic paint this summer. Nobody tells you that it is like coating everything in grease! All the paint brushes/rollers were thrown away but you can’t throw away your hands . . . Disaster.

  190. Get Me Steamy!

    The biggest mess? Cleaning up after my bulldog who got explosive diarrhea….so not fun.

  191. Get me steamy! Probably the biggest mess has to do with cleaning our floors. New Year’s Eve party. I tried the Swiffer mop and the floor laughed in my face with its stickiness. It basically involved me starting the new year on my hands and knees manually scrubbing every inch of floor we had. No more NYE parties for us… unless something like this would work.

  193. Get me steamy! Our familt dog was visiting my husband and I and had an accident… then she walked through it all night. Eww, that stunk!

  194. Get me steamy!

    I spilled a HUGE full glass of red wine on my laptop a few years back and then made the mistake of accidentally turning it back on when I just meant to power it off. My boss and I spent a few weeks tearing it apart and cleaning every trace bit of wine out of the insides in hopes of maybe getting the fried motherboard replaced under warranty but alas, no go on that one. Wasn’t the BIGGEST mess but it was certainly the most expensive since I had to buy a new laptop!

  200. I am slightly obsessed with cleaning. My husband would remove “slightly” and add “overly.” I am attempting to overcome a traumatic experience in my past–a squirrel. One little squirrel, down the fireplace, while we were on vacation, who became master of the house for three days, and “marked his territory” in every room of the house in the usual way. Except that I think Mr. Squirrel was scared out of his mind and marked his territory more than a little enthusiastically. Oh, and climbed all over our furniture and scratched it, and ate a bowl of Hershey’s Kisses that I had left out.

    So, for two days, I Lysoled the whole house (literally–if only I were kidding…), steam cleaned the furniture and the carpet, and steam cleaned the hardwoods with my mom’s handy mop very similar to this one. This is why I need to GET ME some STEAMY, so that next time it happens, I will be prepared. Except if it ever happens again I may have to be hospitalized after going into shock. Squirrels can make an absolutely astonishing and amazing mess in three days.

  201. Get me steamy!

    I tackled a dorm room that hadn’t been done for over a year. For real. It was disgusting!!!!

  204. Get me steamy!
    A carton of eggs someone dropped, when I worked at a grocery store. Also it was my best friend that dropped it, jerk! ; )

  205. Get Me Steamy
    Cleaned up the mess of my awesome husband who left the kitchen sink on. With the plug in it. For hours. Did I mention he put bleach in it? He was going to mop the floor. Yep the floor was nice and wet, all the way down to the front door.

  206. Get me steamy! The worst mess I ever cleaned up was a 5 gallon bucket of roofing tar spilled in the aisle of the home improvement store where I was working. And I didn’t even spill it!!!

  208. Get Me Steamy!!

    My biggest mess story is too gross to share details, but involves vomit and a shag carpet. Gross.

  211. Get me steamy! We’re in the process of stripping, sanding and painting all of our cabinets. I’m in the midst of the biggest mess of my life!

  212. Get me McSteamy!

    I think the messes are about to get out of control with our new baby boy! I’ll report back with the biggest mess!

  216. Get Me Steamy! Our cat’s tummy didn’t take well to the change in her diet….not saying anymore….I will deny it ever happened!!

  217. GET ME STEAMY!

    I have 3 little boys. ‘nuf said. I tried to paste in a picture of poo smeared everywhere, but I guess pictures in comments aren’t allowed. So you’ll just have to take my word for it and know that 3 little boys don’t make 3x the mess, they make 3x3x3x the mess!!

  218. Get me staemy!!

    I need this… Bad. My husband uses baby powder in the bathroom which he must shake all over the floor and bath mats – maybe he likes to jump on the mays and make puffs of baby powder who knows – but then the cat apparently likes to jump in said baby powder and run all around the house…. It’s so fun around here 🙂

  219. Get me steamy!

    My biggest mess was cleaning out a freezer full of rotten meat at a shelter in Atlanta. The smell will forever haunt me!

  221. Get Me Steamy! Dried ant poison…oh wait…I haven’t cleaned it yet. I’m dreading it.

    P.S. I ADORE you. I come out of the blogwork about every six months to comment on your blog and I know it’s terrible I don’t comment more! I love reading your musings and can totally relate. I know bloggers tend to show us readers what they want us to see but I feel like you’re “real”. Anyhoo…hope I win!

  222. Get me steamy!

    It’s a tie between cleaning out the liter box after a 3-day vacation or cleaning out the floorboards of my car… i hate to do both!

  223. Get me steamy! OK, this is gross…but our lab had a diarrhea attack inside his crate one day and we had to clean it up before we could even get ready to go to church! Blech… (well, you asked..)

  224. Get Me Steamy!

    It’s always dog related……. i’m not going in to details…… yuck.

  225. Get me steamy!!!

    9 months pregnant I let my hubby paint the nursery blue for our boy on the way. He then spilled an entire gallon of that blue paint all over the floor. I made him leave so I could clean it up and also so I didn’t punch him!

  228. Get me steamy!

    My biggest mess definitely includes baby excretion from both ends… no need to elaborate.

  229. GET ME STEAMY!!!

    This way the next time the fire department stops by after another failed cooking attempt, I can just steam all that’s stuff they spray up!!!!

    True story. I have pictures.

    Thanks!!

  230. “Get me Steamy” Spilling an entire bucket of mop water all over the kitchen floor-Arghhhhh!

  231. Get me steamy! Our bathroom toilet leaked down to the first floor through the ceiling fan in the kitchen – still not sure where the holes are to allow that to happen but it was gross!

  232. Get me Steamy!!!

    The biggest mess was our bathroom upstairs in our “new” house. The former owners were not the neatest and I found old dirty bandaids and tissues still in the cabinets ew!

  233. ”Get Me Steamy” I’m ashamed to admit this, but you asked… The worst mess I ever tackled was when my son was supposed to be napping, but took off his poopy diaper and played with it instead. Everything within reach was “painted.” Not one of my son’s shining moments. Let’s just say we went through a roll of duct tape on his diapers before he was potty trained.

  234. Get Me Steamy

    The biggest mess I’ve ever tackled was cleaning up pee. I won’t say whose, but it was an adult, not a child. Needless to say, I was not amused.

  236. Get me steamy!

    Anytime I’ve cleaned a boyfriend’s house has been the biggest mess ever. My last boyfriend lived with 2 other guys and the only vacuum they had was a shop vac. There were also mushrooms growing in their basement…it wasn’t intentional. Why did I marry him again?

  237. get me steamy!

    first month in our brand new kitchen in our brand new house, dropped a take out container of cioppino. spilled tomato sauce all over the floor and cabinets. didn’t have any cleaning supplies, so we had to clean everything with toilet paper and hand soap….good times!

  238. Get me steamy! I just scrubbed all the gunk off our tub/shower walls and it took me an hour- it was that disgusting!

  239. Get me steamy! When I was pregnant with my first kid, I had really bad morning sickness all day long. One night, I had projectile vomit that covered the entire bathroom. I also threw up about three more times as I was cleaning it all up!

  240. Get me steamy!

    I once cleaned a rental house of my mother’s after the tenants moved out. Yuck, yuck and more yuck piled on!!!

  241. Get Me Steamy!

    One of our dogs got out once and got into someones garbage. She came back home with an upset stomach and proceeded to let me know. In the middle of the hallway….

  242. Get me steamy! Biggest mess is likely dog related…poop, vomit, some combination. Baby messes to come this December! 🙂

  243. Get Me Steamy! I’m sure I’ve tackled bigger messes, but one of the most memorable messes in my house was left on my guest bedroom mattress. I was in the process of cleaning the waterproof mattress pad I always leave on it when one of my dogs vomited poop she ate previously in the day. Lovely.

  244. GET ME STEAMY!!

    I have the hardest time getting keeping floors lookin’ good, especially with our giant puppy!

  245. Get Me Steamy!

    Worst mess ever happened in college when my mom gave me some tomatoes from her garden. I put them in my backpack and forgot about them for a few weeks…

  246. GET ME STEAMY!!!

    Hardest to actually get clean was a dropped jar of spaghetti sauce on a very porous and very beige tile floor. I swear I can still see a slightly pink spot!

  247. ”Get Me Steamy” there are so many messes….but I think red nail polish all over the front door/windows/window seal/carpet has to take the crown haha

  248. Get Me Steamy!

    Anyway involving my two big shedding machine dogs!!! …but I still love them 🙂

  249. Get me steamy!

    I would so use this all of the time. The biggest mess I’ve cleaned lately was the FULL berry smoothie that my daughter dropped from the countertop to the floors. It flew across the floor, couch, coffee table and onto the wall. I need to point out this was about a month after we finished our remodel which means it was new hardwood floor, new couch, new coffee table and freshly painted new walls. AND even more important is my Lamaze breathing came in to effect in order to keep my head from spinning in circles. Luckily it all came out clean and no screaming was done by me.

    Thanks for the give away!

  250. get me steamy!

    biggest mess? usually when my lovely puppy wakes me up in the middle of the night by THROWING UP on me.

    disgusting.

  251. get me steamy! i have two dogs and two children under three – my house is a mess 24/7!

  252. Get me steamy!

    The biggest mess I’ve ever tackled definitely involved my black lab and her little Shih Tzu brother–yuck!

  254. Get me steamy!
    Cleaning our house last fall when we purchased it, it was a foreclosure and a rental, nasty!

  256. Get Me Steamy!

    Organizing my filthy detached garage was definitely the biggest mess I’ve ever tackled. If I could steam clean it I totally would!

  258. Get me steamy!

    Before my husband and I were married we decided to carve pumpkins for Halloween with his roommates. One of his roommates put all of the pumpkin guts and seeds down the drain and then turned on the disposal. The pipe underneath the sink burst and water/pumpkin guts and seeds/whatever else was living in the drain sprayed everywhere. So gross!

  259. Get me Steamy!

    My husband and brother in laws replaced our roof 2 weekends ago. Which left a HUGE mess to be cleaned up the past couple days. Roofing materials EVERYWHERE. Inside, outside, in the garden, the whole shebang!

  260. Get me steamy!

    Biggest mess would be when my son who was about 18 months at the time decided to smear a Jar, and it was a BIG jar of Vaseline everywhere.

  261. Get Me Steamy!

    Biggest mess is cleaning up after my son as an infant and his massive vomiting of his formula. Ugh!

  262. “Get me Steamy!”…. Worst mess ever was cleaning up 17 inches of dirty water out of my mother’s basement. Her house flooded after a sump pump quit. We spent 2 weeks attempting to salvage years of collections. Including all of our baby pictures 🙁 This also happened to be in the worst humidity Michigan had experienced in years. I would never want to go through that again!

  263. Get Me Steamy! I know I’ve cleaned up bigger messes, but the only thing that comes to mind right now is my sons behind. Apparently having a newborn eats your brain (and adversely effects my ability to clean my floors)

  264. Get Me Steamy!

    Once I spilled a whole bag of dried rice in the kitchen. After I thought I did a good job of vacuuming and sweeping and cleaning, I kept finding kernels in the weirdest places. It was like the mess that never ended.

  265. Get me steamy!

    I have 3 big hairy dogs, a toddler, and a set of twins on the way. The fact that they all share the same floor space grosses me out, so this would be the best prize ever!

  266. Get me steamy!

    Probably the biggest messes I’ve tackled have been at work (I’m a pediatric oncology nurse), so I am frequently dealing with the little one’s messes i.e. poop, pee, etc. – and that’s all I’ll say about that! 🙂

    Would love one of these for my house though!

  267. GET ME STEAMY!

    The biggest mess I’ve ever cleaned up is when I dropped an entire carton of eggs on our floor. It was horrible to clean up!

  270. get me STEAMY. yes, please. i need this. i have 3 boys and they are all kinds of messy. plus i hate to clean as well and i often leave whatever landed under the table there until the next meal…or the next or the next…whatevs.

  272. Get me Steamy…biggest mess was a diaper disaster created by my son. I ended up with poop in my eye…I know….completely disgusting!

  273. Get me steamy!!

    I work at a restaurant, so the semi annual deep cleaning of our wait stations is a NIGHTMARE!

  275. Get me steamy!

    This may not have been the biggest, but the FUNNIEST mess I’ve ever cleaned up is when my then 2-year old son got into and emptied a full tube of Desitin while I was getting ready for work (I thought he was sleeping). He smeared it all over himself and his room. My first reaction? Grab the camera. ‘Cause that was some funny stuff.

  276. Get Me Steamy! Man, oh man, I need this baby! My floors are my LEAST favorite thing to clean and I actually don’t mind cleaning. The worst clean up experience – hmmm…nothing worse than really yucky, teething-enduced baby poop in a car seat on a hot and steamy, stand still interstate in Podunk, North Carolina. Yep, that was the worst. We won’t mention the nastiness of the bathroom at the hole in the wall gas station we finally made it to after two hours! Thankfully I wasn’t cleaning that one!!

  278. GET ME STEAMY!!
    Biggest mess would have to be when my basement flooded…not a fun time to bail out water and clean up all the moldy mess. Yuck.

  280. GET ME STEAMY!!! Cleaning up a totally flooded basement… twice! We fixed it all up and MOVED!

  281. Get me steamy!

    I’ve just pulled up four layers of linoleum in my kitchen… and I am gonna need a steamer to keep the new tile floor clean.

  282. Get me steamy!
    Hmm, hard to narrow down the messes with 3 little kids…probably the brownie crumbs on the floor last week!

  283. Get Me Steamy

    The old tenants that used to live in our apartment broke the fan in the bathroom and never fixed it, resulting in a mold infestation that just wouldn’t quit. I had to use straight bleach and SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB for hours when we first moved in. Ew.

  284. Make me steamy! Biggest mess to date is probably when one of my kids vomited while in their crib. Lots of crevices and slats for it to hide!

  285. Get Me Steamy!

    Worst mess? Two very sick, very BIG dogs and white carpet. I’ll leave it at that.

  286. Get me steamy!! Hmm… can’t remember the biggest mess ever, but my daughter did use the bathroom on the floor before getting into the tub last night!

  287. Get me steamy!

    Mission trip to Arizona– cleaned the yard of a formerly vacant house. Piles of old mattresses, fridges, clothing, waist-high dead grass, shoes– you name it, it was there.

  289. Get me steamy!!!

    My biggest mess was definitely my son’s smash cake at his first birthday…whew, that kid loves cake!!!

  290. Get me steamy! The biggest mess I had to clean was a bottle of soda that exploded everywhere. Very sticky!

  291. Get Me Steamy!! Because I’m a military wife and have many a move ahead of me. Moving up to Alaska from Japan meant our stuff arrived with a friendly disgusting layer of mold. Great. Everything, sofa cushions, rugs, shirts, towels had to be washed, and cleaned. Cut me some slack on the floors and hook a girl up!

  294. Get me Steamy!
    My messiest story would have to be when my husband and I decided to leave our siberian husky…. he’s a bit stubborn and hard to train, it takes a lot of patience and energy… Anywho, we left him in the house with his big “little” sister, a sheltie (easiest dog to train) when my husband and I pulled up in the drive way we smelled something really weird… As we got closer to the door we both looked at each other, without words, knew exactly what had happened. Our 4 month old husky had pooped (the # 3 kind) everywhere!!! It was a mess, it was in the kitchen cabinets, walls, doors, ceiling???? , and the dining table, he had also rolled around in his poop ( i figured this out since he was covered in it and there were marks on our oatmeal ceramic tiles as though dirty fur has been rolling around in it) it was a nightmare. My husband and I stayed up till 3am cleaning, steaming, sanitizing, and scrubbing our stuff, and of course bathing our baby husky, not surprise though our sheltie was upstairs when we got home… she didn’t want to get blame for what her little brother did.

  296. Get me steamy…..only last week our black lab/great dane cross decided that she couldn’t wait for a bathroom trip and you can imagine the size!!! And then that very same day our one year old decided to poop too all over the same floor……oh boy do we need the steam cleaner!!

  297. Get me steamy!

    I haven’t tackled too many crazy messes…but I have a yellow lab who sheds approximately one Lab per year…and I hate vacuuming…you do the math.

  298. Get ME steamy!
    I once dropped a glass bottle of olive oil on my hot stovetop, sending glass shards flying everywhere and hot oil splattering over every possible surface. Good times.

  299. Get me Steamy!
    When we moved into the apartment last fall. The grout in the tile was BLACK!! Supposed to be off white! Sure could’ve used this then. My knees hurt from scrubbing all day for days. This would be so nice for the general keep up now, though!!

  300. Get Me Steamy! Cleaning out a tin can of an old rusty, afraid I might have to get a tetanus shot storage shed in the backyard of the house that my parent’s bought as a fixer-upper retirement house whose previous owners used it as a tackle box, old insulation, old paint, old motor oil covered in dirt dobber nests. On the plus side, I did get 8 bucks for taking an old mower battery to the nearby recycling center.

  302. Get me steamy!

    The worst mess I’ve ever cleaned is when I decided to keep my brand new puppy in the bathroom while I went to work for a couple of hours. I came home and my all-white bathroom was completely covered in poo, pee and vomit. I was on my hands and knees scrubbing with CLR for hours!!

  303. Get Me Steamy!

    The biggest mess I’ve ever cleaned up was the apartment that I shared with the messiest roommate ever. Cleaning up after her (because she never cleaned up after herself) was always crazy.

  305. Get Me Steamy
    Sick dog, cat and kid all in one weekend- I’ve never been so happy for Monday in my life!

  306. Get Me Steamy!
    Um, probably the worst was cleaning up the bathroom after scraping off the popcorn ceiling. Ick. It still gives me the heebie jeebies thinking about it. Wet nastiness everywhere!

  307. GET ME STEAMY!!!! When our washing machine overflowed and I was trying to hide the mess from my parents. Uhh yeah….dont know how I thought THAT was going to work. 4 inches of standing water in a finished basement and me thinking that a few towels would soak up the mess. That IS when I realized that a WET vac, and a REGULAR vaccuum DO NOT do the same thing 🙂

  308. Get Me Steamy!

    My biggest messes have been when my cat pees on the floor, both tile and carpet, multiple times. He has issues.

  309. Get me steamy!

    I once flooded my suite bathroom in college just by taking a shower. The shower drain was clogged, and so the water had nowhere to go but out. It was just delightful to sop up an inch of standing water from a dirty bathroom floor at 1 AM.

  310. Get Me Steamy!!!

    ugh. when my roommates and I moved into our last apartment together it was sooooo gross… we spent a good 2 weeks scrubbing it down before we moved any of the furniture inside…

  311. Get me steamy! The biggest mess I’ve cleaned up is in college when we moved into a dump of a house…luckily we got out of the lease and moved into a much nicer place!

  312. Get Me Steamy!

    Biggest mess to clean up was probably when we took down popcorn ceilings in most of the house and if you’ve ever done this project before, no matter how much you tent or tape that dust gets everywhere. I spent an entire day cleaning our house after taking them down (and we still have two rooms to go…I’ve been putting them off for good reason…)

  316. Get me steamy!

    I honestly love to clean!
    This would be a welcome addition to my already OCD cleaning regime!
    Feed my addiction 🙂

  317. Get Me Steamy!

    I have twin 16 month old boys who (much like your Will) love to throw stuff. They tell me if they approve of dinner by throwing anything not worthy onto the floor. I vacuum and mop the kitchen floor every night, but it’s a lazy effort some nights and Steamy would be a welcome addition to our mealtime mess.

  318. Get Me Steeeeeamy!!
    Ugh, there are some pretty disgusting messes here on a daily basis. We could feed a small country with the amount of food that gets dropped on the floor every meal. And don’t get me started on MY messes – like the time that I dropped the entire container of granulated sugar on the floor. And then my daughter came right behind and spilled her water bottle. Guess how fun that was to clean up.

  319. Get Me Steamy!
    Grossed out but still enjoying reading about other people’s messes – it makes me feel better about my own!
    I used to have a springer spaniel who liked to bring in “presents” from the yard – dead presents.

  320. Get Me Steamy!! I dropped a bowl of raspberry juice on my white carpet. The juice went everywhere, even the ceiling! Thank goodness it all came clean with Resolve Carpet cleaner.

  321. Get me steamy! I had to clean up an overflowing toilet that had poo in it and it go all over the bathroom floor. Ewwww!

  323. Get Me Steamy!

    It wasn’t a mess for a mop, but once my husband and I were entertaining a friend, and I was getting out the crock-pot to make this incredible bread pudding recipe I have. I must not have had it all the way on the counter, because I turned my back for half a second, and BOOM! Smashed glass and ceramic everywhere. That cleanup job was very much not fun.

  324. Get Me Steamy!

    My dog gets sick from stressing herself out every time I take her on a trip. Poor thing and poor me.

  325. Get Me Steamy!!

    I’d say the biggest mess I’ve ever tackled would be my kitchen after I’ve cooked from scratch a full meal. Cooking makes the biggest mess!

  326. Get me steamy! The sliding door at our old house shattered into a million (literally!) pieces. It was cool when it happened – it looked like a glass waterfall – but it was a bear to clean up.

  327. You know how to “Get Me Steamy!” First you talk dirty (I mean, talk about dirt) to me and then you tease me with a giveaway. In all seriousness, I’ve avoided getting a sweeper, because I wasn’t sure if they worked. I love that this steam mop uses only water…fabulous!

  328. Get me steamy!

    We’re renovating our first home. 80+ years of someone else’s dirt, drywall dust, paint splatters, old insulation. WE NEED THIS!

  329. Get me steamy!!!

    Oh gosh, the biggest mess? Probably when an entire 12 pack of soda exploded in the fridge and out onto the floor. I think it took 10 days to un-stick everything. Gross!!!

  330. ”Get Me Steamy”

    My bedroom because I have so much stuff in there! Its like my closet threw up!

  331. GET ME STEAMY!

    I NEED this! Our house is all hard-wood and it’s so hard to keep clean. This would make it a breeze!

  332. Get me steamy! Worst mess – would have to be when the six kids (all under six years old) that I nannied the summer after graduation somehow managed to empty the entire box of finger paint in under 3 seconds. Fun stuff!

  333. Get Me Steamy! That would have to be when my dog got car sick after travelling to Louisiana for a week long visit and saved up all the pukies and dukies for 3 days on the kitchen floor after we got home. It was lovely. ((shudder))

  334. Get me steamy! Biggest messes I’ve ever tackled always involve moving (cleaning the old house before the move, cleaning the new one before moving our things in).

  335. Get Me Steamy!
    My husband and I bought his dad’s house with the original gas stove with 15+ years of grease and grime. Absolutely disgusting. As hard as I tried to clean it, eventually we just ended up buying a new stove…

  337. get me steamy!

    i can’t think of a gigantic mess off the top of my head, but it seems like one of my kids spill their milk every other day. that seems like a pretty big mess, cumulatively.

  338. get me steamy!!
    I once dropped an entirely new bottle of vanilla extract on the floor. A glass bottle. It was quite the mess…haha

  340. Get Me Steamy!

    My worse mess, getting home at 11 at night from a long weekend away with the hubby at the beach. He said at the beach to work for the week, only to get home and find the fridge broke while away. Talk about a smelly mess. I cried when I had to throw out our wedding cake topper. No cake for us on our 1st anniversary in November 🙁

  341. Get me Steamy! Our first Christmas in our new place I was so excited to have our first Christmas I completely over watered the tree and on Christmas Eve water started pouring out of the base. It was a disaster.

  342. Get me steamy! OOOO I’ve been wanting one of these! The biggest mess I’ve ever tackled was when I tore apart a huge old ugly sofa filled with horse hair and who knows what and turned it into a bench! Saw dust, nails, horse hair..it was pretty ugly.

  343. Get Me Steamy!!!

    Not too original…but totally the baby poop on floor has to be the WORST! Dog throw up is a close second…

    This would do wonders on my hardwood!!

  345. Get Me Steamy!

    The biggest mess I have had to clean up is when my husband used regular dish soap in the dishwasher! I guess everyone has to make that mistake ONCE…

  346. GET ME STEAMY!

    The worst mess (I’msureofit), that I’ve ever tackled: our poor little rent house. We had just evicted some pesky renters and boy oh boy! There were grasshoppers & flies stuck to the walls inside the fridge. Baked on macaroni and various other foods on and in the stove. Cockroaches (dead and alive by the hundreds) everywhere. I’m pretty sure the toilet and surrounding floor area had not once been clean while they lived in the house, not to mention the bathtub. And the kicker??? Oil stained carpets – we’re talking motor oil folks. Yep, they drug an engine INTO the living room (minus a tarp) to work on it thru the winter! Then there’s the fleas and torn up carpet & doors & trim work left behind by their poor pets.

    Thanks for the giveaway! :))

  348. Get Me Steamy! I don’t have any children, but our dog got really sick once. It was a huge mess. I mostly supervised while my husband scrubbed.

  350. get me steamy!

    my house is a continual mess with two adults, a 15 month old and a dog – 1700 sq feet full of hardwood floors – yeah its always a mess.

  351. GET ME STEAMY! I helped a friend clean out her parent’s house and the master shower was, in a word, nasty. We’re pretty sure it hadn’t been cleaned in years.

  352. GET ME STEAMY

    I think the biggest mess I ever cleaned was moving into a college apartment. There were guys living there before us and the landloard did not have the house cleaned before we moved in. I had my mother there helping me clean every disgusting surface in this joint. When we moved my bed to vacuum under it, we found a used condom. Gross. So freaking gross. I promptly got some heavy duty gloves and a new mattress. It still grosses me out to think about it!

  353. Get Me Steamy!

    I have two boys (3 and 1) and a little girl due in 6 weeks…enough said. =)

  354. Get Me Steamy!!!

    The biggest mess I’ve ever tackled has been doggie related. I’ll save you the gorey details, but anything that helps cut down the task of cleaning up after four dogs is ace in my book.

  356. Get me steamy!
    The largest mess I’ve cleaned is when my son took off his diaper and got poop all over the carpet.

  357. Get me steamy! I can’t think of one particularly horrible mess, but I love to cook (usually without regard for the mess I’m making in the process), and our kitchen is constantly in need of a good clean.

  359. Get Me Steamy! I’m presently working on the biggest renovation mess ever: cleaning up behind the drywall guys and the tile guy and messiest of all — the plumbers.

  361. LMAO at the last pic comment!
    Katie you are too cute. And your Will is so beautiful. I love how you capture his humor in your photos, you can tell he’s a little devil 🙂

  362. Get Me Steamy!! I had our toilet upstairs overflow, come through the floor and down onto the floors and walls of the main level.

  363. The sink clogged. We had to cut the pipe in four places. Clogged sink goo running down basement family room and toilet walls. Clogged sink goo is slightly reminiscent of explosive poo. But sink goo has been sitting in the pipes for an indeterminate length of time. Give me explosive poo any day.

  364. get me steamy 🙂
    one of the biggest messes i’ve ever had to clean — my work friends and i used to prank each other on birthdays. on my 22 birthday i woke to my car stuffed full of paper shreds. the trunk and all. filled, literally, to the brim. it took 11 garbage bags. 3 hours. and 3 years later, still finding pieces of shredded paper in my car.

  365. Get me steamy!

    The worst mess I ever tackled was when my husband’s fermenting beer exploded all over our coat closet. Gross!

  366. ”Get Me Steamy”

    Cleaning bathrooms at a summer camp where there are 300 kids at camp every week. I have cleaned up every bodily fluid there is to be cleaned up, multiplied by a few hundred times.

  367. Get me steamy!

    I hate trying to clean spilled soft drink or tea. Leaves a sticky mess that requires wash, rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat.

  369. GET ME STEAMY! Blender with blueberry and raspberry fruit smoothie gone awol. Major explosion everywhere including the ceiling!

  370. Get Me Steamy

    three kids, home daycare, several animals… can think of one huge mess so I am guessing I am suffering from selective memory!

  371. Get me steamy! My baby kitten Memphis, when he was about 2 months old, got into our garbage over night. I came downstairs to a spaghetti sauce covered shaggy cat, who had essentially ‘mopped’ my floors all night with sticky, spaghetti sauce. It was rank 🙂

  372. Get me steamy!

    Three words for you – Backed up septic. Yeah not fun, especially when you have to run to Walmart at 11pm to get a snake and you live 30 minutes from the nearest store. Not a fun evening!!

  373. Get me steamy! My 15 month old daughter is learning to feed herself so it seems like each meal is messier than the previous one.

  374. Get me steamy!!
    Newly potty trained daughter in her panties got sick..could not get to potty in time. Happened several times in one day, and it was not solid! Ughh! I feel like my house is STILL dirty!

  375. Get me steamy!

    The biggest mess? I’m not sure about the biggest mess, but those exploded eggs in the microwave sure wasn’t fun!

  376. Get me steamy! Our then-3-year-old son threw up on the living room sofa, which we didn’t discouver until the next morning. Since I don’t DO vomit, my husband cleaned it up. But I still had to look at it, so that counts, right? 😉

  377. Get Me Steamy!
    The biggest mess in this house happened last week actually. A poo dingleberry dropped out of Henry’s diaper while Travis was changing it. He steps in it and unknowingly tracks it ALL over the house. Bsgusting!

  379. Get Me Steamy-
    biggest mess would be cleaning out my fathers house almost 20 years of hoarding. Sad to say- but he saved everything. Not sure he would qualify for the tv show- but would have been close.

    My own house would have to be a misplaced juice cup that leaked for several days into a couch unknown to us until we found an ant trail. YUCK!!

  380. Get me steamy! Oooh, I seriously want one of these. I’m totally crossing my fingers that I win! Ok, anyway, biggest mess… hmm. Maybe my SIL’s apartment?! 🙂

  381. GET ME STEAMY!!!!!!

    We were out of town with the dog this weekend (our little fur baby) and as a result, her feeding/going outside schedule is all messed up. The result of this interference was a HUGE mess when I came home of poo today. When I saw this giveaway I really really really got excited!!! Please pick me!!! 🙂 I’d be sooooo happy and my wood/tile floors would be even happier.

  382. Get me steamy! The biggest mess I’ve ever tackled is still a mess – I just moved across country and my little tiny apartment still isn’t put together yet. Eeks!

  383. Get Me Steamy!

    The biggest mess…well, my puppy had bloody diarrhea last week. Ew, right?

  384. Get Me Steamy!

    Biggest mess by far – when I went out of town for a weekend and came home to find out my sister had moved out and left 4 years of cat hair, dust and who knows what else embedded into the carpets on her side of the house. Some big sister, eh.

  385. GET ME STEAMY!

    My dog’s sudden need to go to the restroom on my husband in the car. That’s all the details you need to hear I’m sure!!

  386. Get Me Steamy!
    I’m so glad my floors aren’t the only ones that look like that! I’ve been a homeowner for just over a year, and my mop is still wrapped in plastic.

  387. Get me steamy!

    Biggest mess was when I drank a bottle of red wine and then threw up all over my cream carpet. Let’s pretend that’s only happened once.

  393. Get me steamy!

    My husband and I had a food fight once. I made spaghetti that night. ‘nough said.

  397. Get me Steamy!

    The worst mess I have had to clean up would probably be our entire house when we bought it last year. Buying a “Fixer Upper” sounds like a good idea until you have to redo and clean every single room in a house that has not been cleaned in 10 years. Glad to say it’s looking good now, but Steamy would still come in very handy!!!

  398. Get me steamy!

    I only have one thing to say about messes. Candle wax. All over the carpet. It took like 5 million paper bags carefully ironing over it to get it up.

    Oh wait, I have another thing to say. GLITTER. Why doesn’t it come out? I glitter painted with my nephew on the front porch and after hosing it off twice it still sparkles in the sun like the Edward Cullen of sidewalks. Ridiculous.

  399. “Get me steamy”
    Biggest mess: cleaning our new (old) home that my husband’s grandparents lived in for 30 years and was full of old people dirt (you know the kind, that they can’t see to clean because they are 85 and just plain can’t see anymore….)

  400. Get me steamy! Sick dog pooping all over the one carpeted room in the whole house, and inexplicably onto the curtains as well…. GROSS!

  402. Get Me Steamy!! We have laminate flooring throughout our house, so pretty much any time we sweep there’s a big mess to clean up. We could literally sweep every day and still have dirt to pick up, so it would be awesome to have some help from Black & Decker!

  403. Steam me! I have a four month old who loves to poop in her car seat so that is definately the worst mess I’ve cleaned up lately.

  404. Get Me Steamy!
    Dried tomato seeds… sometimes I miss the sink or the trash can when I’m chopping tomatoes, and if I forget to clean it up right away, those things are really hard to clean off the floor later!

  405. Get me steamy!

    I am pretty clutzy, and teach preschool special ed, so as you might imagine I’ve cleaned quite a few messes in my life. 😉 However, the biggest mess I ever cleaned was when my husband and I removed the disgusting 20+ year old insulation from the attic in our house so we could replace it. Ugh. I still shudder when I think about it!

  406. Get me steamy! One economy sized bottle of baby powder, toddler poop and stuffed animal stuffing. It was carnage and covered every inch of her room!

  407. get me steamy!

    biggest mess ever was probably when i accidentally dropped a hot glass casserole pan full of … well… casserole… in a sink that had cold water in it. pan shattered, food went flying, it was bad.

  408. Get me STEAMY! Worst mess: I knocked over a paint can in the middle of the night (thought i tripped over the dog)…the paint had stayed there the rest of the night before we discovered it. It took some elbow grease, but I got it cleaned up 🙂

  409. Get me steamy!

    My *almost* four year old has had potty accidents thaade me want to hose him down in the back yard and toss all clothes while wearing a gas mask!

  410. GET ME STEAMY!!!

    One night when I was waxing my stache and eyebrows, I accidentally knocked over the entire (large) container of wax on my kitchen counter. It was horrible. I thought that if I let it sit, it would harden and easily chip off before my husbamd saw the mess, but it continued to warm and spread under everything on my counters and into my sick. We had to buy these metal tools from Lowes to get majority of it off, then put large bags of ice on it to harden. It took an entire week to clean up and I lost many good spatulas in the first few hours of disaster!

  411. Get Me Steamy!

    Umm, pretty much everytime I clean my house is the biggest mess ever. To be fair, I hate cleaning and put it off as long as I can. Add a messy husband and 2 cats to that… yup. It gets pretty scary sometimes.

  412. Get me steamy! I’d have to say my worse mess was cleaning poop off the carpet. Gotta love potty training!

  413. Get me steamy!

    No, really, get me! I have a very precocious – no, my grandmother just says he’s “busy” – little boy who likes to go in the fridge and pull things out. the worst mess? chocolate syrup? a gallon of milk poured on the floor? NO… it was the carton of eggs that he brought into the living room and threw on the hardwood floors one at a time. one.at.a.time. what a mess!!

  416. Get Me Steamy!
    Probably the worst clean up I’ve dealt with was our refrigerator after a week long blackout in July. Smelled to HIGH HEAVEN. Ugh.

  417. Get me steamy!!

    The biggest cleaning job I’ve ever tackled was when we moved into our first house. It wasn’t a disaster or anything, I’m just a bit of a germaphobe and had to clean and sanitize every nook and cranny before I could unpack everything. I still wonder if I got it all! Hah!

  419. Get Me Steamy ! Well, without sounding too horrible I’ll just say the phrase my husband told me while he was out of state traveling when I called to tell him off the potty training disaster I had “poo choo train” Not a good night!

  420. Get me Steamy!!!
    Oh please, there are so many messes to clean up… daily! I can’t pick just one!!

    Love your Web site and you are hilarious!

  421. Get me steamy!!

    This past winter, my son went to his bathroom early in the morning because he felt sick. He threw up on the bathroom floor, and then because he got scared, he decided to run to our bedroom. STILL THROWING UP. He barfed on his bathroom floor and all down the hallway to our room, and then stood at our bedside and barfed like 4 gallons of puke all over our bed and projectile spewed across the room.

    I am not exaggerating even a tiny bit when I say that the cleanup of that barf took more than 3 hours.

  424. Get Me Steamy! The biggest mess I’ve had to clean up was in college. I knocked over my candle warmer after it had been on for hours. I think there’s still probably wax on the floor that I just couldn’t get out. Good thing I was just a renter back then. 🙂

  425. Get Me Steamy!

    Probably the biggest mess had to do with a whole lot of drunk people at a wedding (I’m an assistant wedding coordinator) and an open bar that stayed open just a tad too long. I doubt most of these folks followed the whole “liquor before beer you’re in the clear” rule. : ) Enough said.

  426. Get Me Steamy!

    Ugh. Our dogs were still puppies and we left ’em out of the kennel one day for a few hours when we went to run some errands. They got into the trash. Let me just say, I didn’t know how much junk — including food debris — our kitchen trash could hold until I saw it scattered across our entire kitchen and living room floors. ICK!

  427. Get Me Steamy!!!

    The worst mess I ever cleaned up was when I accidently left a full gallon of laundry detergent on the washing machine. It just so happened that the washer became off center during the spin cycle and the detergent fell off onto the floor and exploded all over the laundry room. Let me tell you it took forever and a few loads of towels to clean it up, not to mention the expensive high efficiency detergent that went to waste!

  428. Get me steamy!
    I’ll spare you the gritty details, but lets just say that my dog had a serious tummy ache on our hardwood floors and I still gag thinking about it. I’d love to win!

  429. Get Me Steamy

    Well, I was pretty steamed with myself after a trip to the hardware store last spring. I loaded up my new gallons of paint into the back of my car and headed home. Right after I arrived at home, I opened my Jeep’s trunk only to have a gallon of paint fall out, the lid bust open on the cement below and spill it’s guts out and down the driveway. That took my husband and myself a full hour of hard work to clean up.

  430. Get me steamy!

    Biggest mess tackled: My mom was renting out a studio she has and one of the (former) renters stopped paying rent and then deserted, leaving all of his stuff. He was apparently hoarding and wasn’t big on organizing. Piles over 5 feet tall and everywhere. That took awhile for us to clean.

  431. GET ME STEAMY!! Biggest mess…our son’s diaper blow-outs…eeewwww! That was a loooong time ago, but it’s something you never forget!

  432. Get me steamy!!

    I have two boys, so I clean up lots of messes… my least favorite, is probably poop in the tub. So gross!

  433. Get Me Steamy

    When I was 16 I was babysitting 2 adorable brothers from church. One was 2, almost 3 and the other 15 months and recently walking. The 15 month old got very sick that evening and had diarrhea. I see it oozing down his leg and try to get him to come to me. Well, he thinks it’s a game and decides to run away from me. The diarrhea is oozing down his leg and all over the carpet and tile throughout the house. I finally run him into the bathroom and through him into the bathtub. Once baby was cleaned up I then cleaned the carpets and tile floors. Needless to say, it was a very messy evening for a high school student.

  434. Get Me Steamy!!!!

    I can’t think of a specific mess but I think I’m just a pretty messy person (and cook) in general! Plus I am about to move into a new (bigger) apartment and definitely need some cleaning help!!

  435. GET ME STEAMY!!!

    hmmm, cleaning the sides of the oven after moving into our first (and only) home….pretty sure that oven held on to every meal ever prepared on it. i could dry heave just thinking about it. i’d so much rather changed my baby’s blow-outs…:)

  436. ”Get Me Steamy” ….I just dropped a full bottle of nail polish in my bathroom sink……the nail color was BRIGHT BRIGHT RED….used 3/4’s of a bottle of nail polish…almost passed out, fan on high……sigh….took quite a while to get the red sink white again. Biggest, intense clean up EVER!!!

  437. Get me steamy!
    The first time I made the Pioneerwoman’s pot roast, I startled myself when I poured the broth into the pan to deglaze and I sent pot roast juices flying everywhere and in the process knocked over the plate of carrots, potatoes and onions that I had just cut. Oh. and the fire alarm went off. It was a hot mess.

  438. Get me steamy!

    The biggest mess I took on was when I moved into a house in college with 5 other roommates. The house looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in decades. Took about 10 of us and 4 days. I will never forget…

  439. Get me steamy!! The worst mess I ever cleaned was my husband’s house in college on move-out day. 4 boys sharing a house for a year was super fun to clean. It turned out ok, I ended up marrying him. 🙂

  440. Get Me Steamy…the biggest was from new years eve 2005. lets just say i haven’t had a vodka sprite since…

  443. Get me steamy!

    The biggest mess I’ve ever tackled…. I think it would have to be the mess left by our small flock of sheep on my mother’s kitchen floor. Yes, you read that right. It’s a good story but not as good as the one where a goat died in our bathtub.

    Clearly I could use a steam mop.

  444. Get Me Steamy!! Nastiest thing I’ve ever had to clean? The floors in this apartment, in particular the kitchen floor! It’s the sort of tile that refuses to get clean, and we won’t discuss the grout. So far, the only thing that’s worked is getting on my hands and (arthritic) knees and using Barkeeper’s Friend and a scrub brush. That steam mop would make things much easier 🙂

  445. GET ME STEAMY!!!

    I could have used this for the wood floors in the first house my hubby and I rented. The landlords didn’t know how to clean them and they were super sticky and turned our feet black. They took forever to clean!

  446. Get me steamy!

    Hmmmmm…..I think the biggest mess would definitely have to be throw up and diahrrea on the bathroom floor. I had a VERY sick two year old on my hands!!!

  447. Get me steamy! The worst cleanup I had was when I spilled frozen juice mix all over the freezer and it hardened in the freezer before I could wipe it. And it made our floors sticky.

  448. Get me steamy! When my son had entirely too much fun at his elementary school’s “fun day” and threw up all over his sleeping brother (who didn’t even wake up somehow), and all over my bathroom a few minutes later, and I was 8 months pregnant. And my husband was demo-ing their closet and couldn’t hear my cries for help. Fun times. I’ve never used so many anti-bacterial products in conjunction in my life.

  449. Get me steamy Katie! I have 2 fur kids, and one is a great Dane puppy and since our shady backyard refuses to grow grass… Our life is a permanent state of muddy messy why do my feet feel gritty-ness…

  450. Get me steamy! The biggest mess I’ve ever tackled was cleaning a bathroom in an apartment I moved into in college. I’m still trying to block the experience out of my mind!

  451. Get Me Steamy

    While remodeling our home my husband decided to remove the popcorn ceiling without really knowing what he was doing. He used a paint roller with water and it just started falling off in wet messy chunks on the hard wood floors (that were not covered). Needless to say it got me a little steamy. It was definitely one of the biggest messes, that or any time my 13 month old eats spaghetti.

  452. GET ME STEAMY! The biggest mess I have ever encountered is our house right now which is in the middle of a reno. The drywall dust is taking over and the dust bunnies have become dust creatures!

  455. Get me steamy!

    I once helped a friend clean out an apartment abandoned by a stripper/drug addict. The floors were ankle deep with crotchless pleather undies, used needles, and things I won’t mention that were way worse than the undies and needles. Sad AND gross.

  457. Get Me Steamy!

    Biggest mess…hmmm…we have 4 large dogs, so the dog hair is NEVER ending. But probably the largest cleaning project was mopping my basement cement floor after a flood. And then continually checking for any mold growing, spraying the walls with nasty chemicals, and scrubbing over and over again. So glad it was a one time event!

  458. Get me steamy!

    A flooded basement with black muck coming through the cracked foundation. Not my own house, thank goodness, but still very gross.

  459. Get me steamy! We’re moving and with all the mess our 2 year dumped a quart of latex paint all over our kitchen floor. Took 30 minutes to get it all cleaned up. Super fun.

  460. Get me steamy please 🙂 I’m in the midst of my biggest mess. We’re putting on an addition to our house and every time anyone opens a window or door, dust and dirt flies in. Add a dog who tracks in everything, a husband who is parking his mountain bike in our living room and me, pregnant and due in 2 weeks — I’m ready for any helping hand. I’ve heard hand scrubbing floors can bring on labour, but I’m quite hopeful that by NOT hand scrubbing the floors, I can wait just a little bit longer and MAYBE get the addition done before the next new addition comes along? Maybe 🙂

  463. get me steamy!

    I shouldn’t say.. but it involved a roomba, and a dog who was scared sh**less of it… ew

  464. Get me steamy! Worse mess was when my dogs bit open a bubble bath package and it went into the carpet. There was no getting that out!

  465. Get me steamy!

    The biggest mess I’ve ever had to clean up was when my toilet overflowed in my tiny studio apartment and my entire bathroom floor had an inch of water on it. I had to use all of my towels, even the good ones to clean it up. It was not fun!

  466. Get me Steamy!!

    I tend to make lots of messes because I am a klutz, but the one I was most embarrassed about was when I knocked a candle onto a really nice stereo speaker at someone’s house I didn’t know! I was actually staying there because a friend of mine was friends with them and they had room to host us for the week when we visited from out of state. Apparently they had just bought this really nice stereo system too. I still feel bad that I got wax all over it and that happened almost 10 years ago!

  467. get me steamy!

    biggest mess tackled = cleaning up the kitchen floor after sanding the kitchen cabinets. Saw. Dust. Everywhere.

  468. Get Me Steamy!

    When the kids were little and everything from the highchair ALWAYS ended up on the floor!

  469. “Get me steamy.” I suppose the biggest mess I ever tackled was one Christmas when I was home from school and my little brother got the flu… all over the house. Like the top of the stairs, all the way down, most of the kitchen and the entire bathroom kind of all over. And of course my dad is squeemish about that sort of thing. So I spent the rest of that night cleaning up after him. Yuck.

  471. Get Me Steamy:

    The biggest mess I ever had to clean up was when I was about 13. My friend and I were making tea. We boiled it, stooped it, and didn’t let it cool off. We poured it into the glass tea pitcher and started putting cold water in there. The whole thing exploded. There was glass, tea, and water all over the kitchen. It took us a week to find all the spots the tea got on and about two hours to clean the kitchen that night. Lesson learned 🙂

  472. Took a gallon of lemonade out of the fridge–took the lid off- left it loose ontop.
    Phone rang – chatted a minute. Forgot that the lid was off- went to shake the Lemonade and it went ALL over the kitchen. All.over.the.kitchen. GET ME STEAMY!!!!!!

  474. Get me steamy!

    I had never had a dog until 4 years ago, so unfortunately I did not know to crate train him until I made a terrible mistake. Had I known, I could have prevented a mess while I left him alone. Instead, I left him locked in the bathroom with a puppy pad while I went out for an hour to the grocery store. When I came back, the puppy pad was unused and torn to shreds and my crazy dog was smiling at me from the middle of a yellow puddle with brown goo (I think you know what I’m talking about…) all over him and the floor. Gross! I had to give my puppy a bath and then break out the bleach to clean his mess. I could have really used the B&D Steam Mop back then!

    —

    Biggest mess? College apartment living, post-party. I scrubbed the kitchen floor for HOURS and even weeks later our shoes were still sticking to it when we walked through the room. Ew.

  476. “Get me steamy!” I feel like the biggest messes always happen in the car….crumbs and dirt in little crevices that are impossible to reach!

  477. Get me steamy!
    And my cat tracks dirt/kitty litter/water/anything-you-could-possible-put-on-a-foot EVERYWHERE. I thought cats were supposed to be neat? Good thing he’s a cutie. 🙂

  478. Get me Steamy! We really could have used this lately. We’ve had problems with our kitchen sink and it’s flooded our house several times. Okay, mild flooding, but still a mess on our stained concrete floors. Big mess!!

  479. Get me steamy! My biggest mess is my wood floors, doesn’t matter what it is. Always a pain since wood floors can’t be cleaned with just anything.

  480. GET ME STEAMY

    I accidentally spilled a full pound of partially cooked ground beef all over my wood floors (as well as scalding myself in the process). It was disgusting, and took forever.

  481. Get me steamy!! Large puddles of liquid dog poo – on the blue carpet – the morning of my firstborn’s 1st birthday party. Okay, my husband actually did the cleaning because I was too busy sobbing hysterically. He’s a good man.

  482. Get me steamy!
    Biggest (ie. grossest) mess? Has to be a toss up between baby poop “finger painting” or chunky preschooler puke (all over said preschoolers favorite books, toys and stuffies….not to mention our light colored carpet!). Makes me shudder just thinking about it….ugh!!

  483. Get Me Steamy!!

    Kid #3 loooooves to help me in the kitchen. She calls herself my little chef. 😉

    We were making spaghetti sauce a while back, and she grabbed for the [already opened, unbeknownst to her] can of tomato sauce. And then dropped it. It went ALL over the floor, the baseboards, the white cabinets, ME… Ugh.

    But it’s all good. She’ll make it up to me when she’s the next Giada De Laurentiis. 🙂

  484. Get me Steamy – the biggest mess I’ve cleaned in recent months was the one created by drywall, water, and insulation that covered every inch of my (newly remodeled) kitchen after a pipe burst in our ceiling….yep, seeing the water pouring out of the can lights and the ceiling falling in is not something I’ll soon forget!

  485. Get me steamy!

    Cleaning an apartment in college after 8 girls lived in it all year. Definitely wasn’t the grossest mess, but by far the most daunting. A whole house in one afternoon!

  487. Get Me Steamy!!!

    My biggest mess was actually in my sister’s house (sorry Joy!) I was painting stripes in my nephew’s bedroom and tripped over something ( yeah it was my own two feet), and knocked the open can of robin’s egg blu paint all over her light beige carpet.

    Soooo embarrassing!!!!

  488. Get Me Steamy!!!! I am so much like you, sometimes it scares me. I am in desperate need of an easier way to keep the floor clean. (Thats fun and easy too!) My 2 yr old likes to help me clean. You know when you walk around barefoot and you pick up all the yuckies on the bottoms of your feet, he feels them and breaks out the Ergo Rapido and goes to town, if only I could teach him how to do the whole room…

  490. Get Me Steamy!

    I broke a bottle of olive oil and it went everywhere. Oh my, that stuff is hard to clean up!!

  491. Get Me Steamy!!!
    I once had to clean my kitchen floors about 100 times in 2 days after my son spilled an entire bottle of vegetable oil! I thought the greasiness would never go away….

  492. Get me steamy! When I was a lifeguard, we cleaned the bathrooms and without fail they were always horrible!

  493. Get me Steamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

    Our house when we moved out…it was raining, and I had to mop the entire first floor at the end! Crazaaaaaaaaaaaay!

  496. Get me steamy, sista!

    The biggest mess I ever cleaned up? Hmm. Well, besides my apartment on a weekly basis (I also despise cleaning), I’d have to say the time husband and I came home from a vacation to a flooded apartment. Not just any ole flood…a sewage one! Yum.

  497. ”Get Me Steamy”

    Worst mess, having a mixture go nuts after just putting a bunch of dry ingredients in the bowl. Not fun…

  498. Get Me Steamy

    Just tackled my garage floor – don’t even want to know what some of it was!

  500. GET ME STEAMY! My steam mop is dying! After three years, it now lets out drops of water everywhere! I should check out this one!

    Haha! I had to laugh…my son eats off the floor, too. Yikes. 🙂

  503. GET ME STEAMY! I was a housekeeper for 4 summers at a fishing lodge. Men on vacation away from their wives= MESSY!

  504. get me steamy!

    i don’t know what the biggest mess i’ve ever tackled was… but right now i’m about 4 weeks from giving birth and my obsession with cleaning is stronger than ever… and i’m literally drooling over that mop!

  505. Get Me Steamy

    The worst mess I’ve had to clean up is the mess the previous owners of our house left us in the shed. Ew!

  506. Get Me Steamy!
    Shattered a nail polish bottle all over the tile floor. Super fun clean up…ugh!

  507. Get me steamy
    biggest mess I’ve ever cleaned was a bathroom after trying to potty train my boy

  509. Get me steamy!! The biggest mess I’ve ever had to clean up is probably my daughters vomit right after eating a bunch of blueberries… on beige carpet. So gross.

  510. Get me steamy!

    Cleaning up after my pooch after she inhaled a ferrerro Roche – wrapper and all. (she’s stealthy – she used her crate to jump onto the table where the chocolates lived). Sadly – it prob won’t be the last time…I need one of these!!!

  512. “Get Me Steamy”! Well, like some others the biggest mess I have to clean up usually involves poop. I would have to say currently the cat poop in my attic. It’s totally gross. Their litter box is up there and they have never in their 9-13 yrs of life pooped or done anything outside their box until we moved into this house 16 months ago!! I am furious, but glad it’s up there than in our living space. And yes, I keep their box scooped and clean and it doesnt matter. I dont know what is up with them. I have spread heavy duty plastic down around the whole area around their box where they do it to make cleanup easier but none the less still disgusting. I have to clean multiple piles up everyday. Anyway, this little number would be great for regular cleanings on my non cat poop areas of the house. 😛

  513. Get me steamy!

    the worst was tackling the patio on the first day we moved to our new house… the previous owners left a bunch of stuff!

  514. Get me steamy! Without going into too much detail, I’ll just say the worst mess I ever cleaned up was my dog’s #2 and vomit. Hope to never repeat that one.

    The steam mop would be awesome for the dingy grout I just inherited in my new house!

  515. Get me steamy!

    I have 10 month old twins who love to make a mess at every meal, not very fun to clean up 3+ times a day!

  518. GET ME STEAMY!!

    I just bought my first house and I have to clean up someone else’s mess before I can move in!!

  519. Get Me Steamy!!

    The biggest (and most disgusting!) mess I have ever cleaned up was made by my sister, my fiance and a friend. Not only was I making sure they weren’t suffocating in their own vomit, I was also cleaning it all up! Yuck.

  520. Get me steamy!!! The biggest mess I ever cleaned was when I dropped hot pink nail polish on our carpet. I didn’t even want carpet, I wanted tile, but my hubby won that one when we were building:(

  521. Get me steamy! Worst mess I ever had to deal with was a broken, glass bottle of fish oil on the kitchen floor. And I was out of paper towels at the time, and it was midnight so nowhere to buy more.

  522. ”Get Me Steamy”
    I have a new 12 week old puppy…..lately it’s been a lot of potty clean up 🙂

  523. Get Me Steamy!

    My biggest mess was probably turkey drippings from a roasting pan spilled all over the kitchen floor. That was pre-baby. Now we have smaller but probably messier messes.

  524. GET ME STEAMY!

    vomit from my food poisoned friend…off the windows, off the floor….and off of my face!!!!

  525. Get me steamy!

    I helped my fiance clean out him room when he moved…let’s just say there was a lot of dust, dog hair and random, homeless markers. I proudly cleaned it all in less than a day 😉

  526. Get Me Steamy!

    This isn’t a messy floor story, but one time I was trying to make homemade candles for my mom for Christmas (this was a few years ago), and I burst the bag of wax in her favorite saucepan. Trying to clean wax out of a metal pan (not nonstick) was awful!

  527. Get me McSteamy 🙂

    I just got home from work to find that one of the dogs peed on the hardwoods…..

  528. Get Me Steamy!

    Dog got sick – bodily fluids coming out both ends. Does this mean I’m ready for kids?

  529. Get me steamy!
    About once a month I get the joy of cleaning up cat puke….but the biggest mess was when i dropped the jug of cooking oil in the kitchen….UGH

  531. GET ME STEAMY!!!
    my husband’s (back then boyfriend) dog did number 2 in my car while my husband was out to work… and the dog had the runs… nasty!!! it smelled horrible….

  532. Get me steamy!
    I used to be a visual merchandiser at a relatively large tourist attraction & at Christmas time we would put up over 20 different trees. Most were at least 8 feet tall & our motto was to cover them till they looked full, then add LOTS more. That meant that my entire life was covered in glitter…my hair & clothes, my car, my purse, my house…I’d even find it on my poor hubby (uh, sweetie…there’s a large piece of iridescent glitter in the middle of your forehead. I think you might have gone to work with it. whoops!) By the time I’d finally get rid of the last speck, it was September & time to start all over again. (Yes, we started prepping in September. I haven’t done a decent Christmas tree for myself ever since.)

  533. GEt Me steamy!! Worst mess was a glass jar of Alfredo sauce that broke on the tile flooring…ugh it went everywhere!!!

  534. Oh Boo. Times like these I wish I lived over there with you all. We’re laying our tiles next week which means I may actually have to start cleaning my floors… I’ve decided a steam mop would be perfect. If only Australia wasn’t so far away…

  535. Get me steamy!

    When I worked at Starbucks I had to clean up an entire container of the mocha syrup that spilled on the floor…then had to clean the mop head when we found out we were out of mop heads and needed to clean the rest of the floors…no fun!

  536. Get me steamy!!! When we were moving my grandmother out of her house, she has jars of pickles from the 1970’s in her cabinets and dried food (in the event of another Depression) under the stairs that was so old it didn’t have an expiration date. Major ewww.

  537. Get me steamy!

    My house was pretty disgusting before we moved in. I love a clean house…almost obsessively! : ) Dirt skeeves me out!

  538. Get me steamy!

    My house was disgusting before we moved in. I love a clean house….almost obsessively! Dirt totally skeeves me out! : )

  539. Get Me Steamy

    Biggest mess always has to do with my dogs. I won’t go into detail but picture waking up to multiple puddle spots all over the hardwood. And it wasn’t pee!! Hope I win! I need it!

  541. Get me steamy! Our building’s sewer pipe backed up this spring…into our bathroom. It was so nasty. I can’t get into it here.

  542. Get me steamy!

    My worst was cleaning out my hoarder aunt’s estate. it was the worst thing I’ve ever had to clean… and made me go home and do some considerable downsizing!

  543. Get Me Steamy!

    We had to move from one apartment to another down the street in…one day, no moving truck, school in the morning. Our schedules were so hectic that we couldn’t do it any sooner or have any extra time.I think I may or may not have cried while I scrubbed to get that security deposit back.

  544. Get me steamy! Well, the most recent memory (because it happened this morning) is cleaning up dog diarrhea. Bleeeeeech.

  545. Get me steamy! My biggest mess to date would be cleaning up laundry detergent that fell to the side of the washer and busted on the wall, down to the floor, into the tile and seeped through the grout. Awful mess.

  546. Get me steamy! I feel like everyday with my 2 and a half year old is spent cleaning up big messes!

  547. Get me steamy! Full carton of eggs dropped on my hardwood floors by my 19 month old daughter

  548. Get me steamy! Cleaning up after a little one has been sick is one of the biggest messes I have had to clean!

  549. Get me steamy! The biggest mess I’ve had to clean up was the dirty dirty tile floor in our new place. We scrubbed it on our hands and knees, then swiffered, then cleaned again, and now finally we can walk on the floor without our soles turning black! I would love one of those mops to keep this floor clean.

  550. Get me steamy!

    My biggest mess was actually at someone else’s home. There was a woman who lives nearby who had back surgery so I went to help her out. She has 6 kids and I’m convinced they didn’t care how their home looked. The thing that made me maddest was after I mopped their kitchen floor the 4 year old kid threw his peanut butter & jelly sandwich on the floor because he was done eating. And you wonder why their floors were disgusting!

  551. Get me steamy!!!
    I was veeeeerrrrrrry sick with the stomach flu and didn’t quite make it to the toilet on time. TMI but it was coming out of both ends, and was NOT a pretty sight. Ugh.

  552. Get Me Steamy! I have cats. And I foster puppies for the local SPCA. Do I need to elaborate on the most difficult mess I’ve had to clean up?

  553. Get Me Steamy!! Ugh, I so need this since we have tiles in the kitchen and hallways. I have tried everything to keep it clean but nothing seems to be working. I’d love to use this!!

  554. Get Me Steamy!

    Between my 3-year-old lab and 7-month-old daughter the floors always needs love! Every. single. day. This would be so helpful :).

  555. Get me steamy!

    Biggest mess ever was when we were tackling renovating the kitchen. Paint, grout, tile, dust, and appliances EVERYWHERE!

  556. Get Me Steamy
    Dried on wet cat food smeared all over the kitchen floor. My kitties are messy eaters!

  557. Get me steamy! The worst mess I’ve cleaned (and I have 2 kids…) was the bathroom on a construction jobsite. Apparently an administrative assistant job title means you do anything and EVERYTHING. yuck.

  558. Get Me Steamy!

    The biggest mess I’ve ever had on my hands was when my son who was a toddler at the time squirted Hershey Syrup all over the brand new carpet. By the time we saw what he was up to it was from the living room, all the way up the stairs, and into the upstairs hall. My little artist!

  560. GET ME STEAMY!
    I used to work as a ‘sanitation technician’ in a national park…in the desert in the middle of nowhere. Full body suit protection + high, high temps + tourists eating fruit laying in a car for hours/days…yeah. =/

  561. ”Get Me Steamy”

    Biggest mess recently was cleaning up after our house was burglarized and they dumped out every drawer, every cabinet, every closet. Yuck!

  563. Get me steamy!

    Cleaning up dirt from a potted plant that had been tipped over (wicker planter ripped into shreds too) and spread around my living room by my dog… And also other unmentionable dog related messes ;/

  564. Get me steamy!

    The biggest mess I had to clean was an apartment I moved into when I was still in college. The guy that lived there before me left a thick layer of grease all over (and a layer of other nastiness in the bathroom). On top of that there were piles of dead skin behind the couches, bed, etc. – no joke. Disgusting!

  569. Get Me Steamy!

    The floor under my youngest’s chair! You never know what will be stuck there!!!

  573. Get me steamy.

    I can’t think of the worst mess I’ve had to clean up, but I anticipate it coming with a new baby in six weeks!

  574. Get me steamy!

    Cleaning up the carpet of cat hair that the previous resident left on the wood floors, the walls, behind the stove, etc. of my new apartment

  576. Get me steamy! The biggest mess i ever had to clean up was after our floors were refinished – there was dust everywhere for months!

  577. Get Me Steamy!

    I spilled a whole bowl of melted chocolate on our bedroom rug. We had moved the microwave up there because it’s the only air conditioned room in the house and I had to bake for some event.

    We ended up cutting a square out of the rug where I dropped the chocolate (as a temporary solution) that ended up not being so temporary… one year later. No one sees the bedroom anyway!

  578. “GET ME STEAMY”
    After Hurricane Ike I had the biggest mess of my life to clean up! Water on level 1 of my townhouse, limbs/trees in my yard, glass from a broken window in my bathroom!

  579. Get Me Steamy!!

    My two little girls leave a path of destruction…hehe but at least my 3 year old loves to clean with me.

  582. Get me steamy! Grossest cleanup…kind of our whole house. It’d been vacant and very unloved when we bought it and we’re gutting/rebuilding room by room.

  583. Get me steamy!!! I had a cake blow up in the oven!!! I no longer try making cakes from scratch…

  584. Get Me Steamy!

    Once I broke a whole bottle of bbq sauce- i couldn’t figure out if i should vacuum, wipe, sweep- it was a mess!

  585. Get Me Steamy
    Picasso-minded toddler’s chocolate pudding finger paints. Floors, wall, counters….

  586. Get me steamy!
    The biggest mess I ever tackled was cleaning out a “live bait” shop that flooded to the ceiling during hurricane Katrina. I will never, in my life, forget that smell.

  589. Get me steamy!

    I think the biggest mess I ever tackled was simply parenting on Saturday. My toddler managed to hammer out a big patch of plaster with a toy wooden mallet, chop off all the leaves on our hostas, poop in the tub, spill ice cream all over a rug, spread my lip balm over my pillowcase, poke a pencil into a box of twelve packs of rice milk (rice milk ALLLLLL over the floor), and more. If I turn my back on him for more than a minute, I know I have a mess to clean up!

  590. Get Me Steamy!
    We bought a foreclosed house, so that cleanup is definitely the biggest mess we’ve ever cleaned up!

  591. Get Me Steamy….last year, my washer overflowed. mid-cycle. left soapy water residue all over the hardwood…everywhere! not fun.

  592. Get Me Steamy!

    My biggest clean-up is anytime one of my puppies doesn’t feel well and can’t quite make it out in time 🙁 I could for sure use one of these!

  593. Get Me Steamy!

    We live in an apartment in Seoul… our fans/appliances/everything get coated with this polluted grime… it’s really hard to get off. :-S

  594. GET ME STEAMY!
    i think the biggest (grossest) mess i’ve had to clean up is when my daughter left town and left me in charge of her dog – who was very angry at being left behind. she did her business where she wasn’t supposed to and was so pissed that i swear she rubbed it all over the walls with her paws..?? somehow it got smeared on the walls…it was the worst mess EVER..

  596. Get me steamy

    My bathroom area. I think it’s the place where products go to die. Every time I purge, it seems just as bad as the last.

  597. Get Me Steamy! My biggest mess to clean up involved my 18 month old, Superbowl kickoff, my husband, and a jar of vasoline. I ran out to get some snacks for the game & hubby called me home ASAP! Apparently our daughter found the entire jar of vasoline and COVERED herself in vasoline. Head to Toe! 3 days later…after finding dish soap, peanut butter, goo gone, and several other options had failed…we finally discovered the miracle of CORN STARCH! It bonds with vasoline and helps removes it from hair. We’ve got some great pictures and memories from that mess though!

  598. Get Me Steamy!!!!

    I use to work for a cleaning company that cleaned condo’s and I had to clean out quite a few refrigerators after Hurricane Katrina. These refrigerators had been full of food and without power for over a week. Talk about Gagh!!!!!! YUCK!

  599. GET ME STEAMY!! Swiffer just doesn’t seem to be working on those Puppy messes on the floors, would love to be a little more enviromentally friendy with just water and no harsh chemicals!

  600. Get me steamy!

    Biggest mess would be the carpet in this house when we moved in. Rather than clean it, we threw it away. Now I have wood floors (yay) that I don’t clean nearly as much as I should (boo). I think I need this!

  604. Get me steamy!

    I am quite the clutz in the kitchen (and only the kitchen… which is weird). I was shaking up a drink/shake, a chocolate meal replacement thingy, and accidentally let it fly. The lid came off, it his the cabinets, and chocolate covered the kitchen and myself…. not a good day.

  605. Get me steamy!

    My biggest mess is probably moving into an apartment that hasn’t been well cleaned in many many years, so there’s layers and years of filth in every corner of the house.

  606. Get Me Steamy!
    i once helped to clean out a foreclosure house that the family had trashed and abandoned. we filled several dumpsters with junk!

  607. Get Me Steamy! Woot! Besides all the typicall DIY mess that we make around our house the worst mess I’ve had to tackle was when I shattered a red nail polish bottle on my white tile floor. Awful!

  608. GET ME STEAMY!!

    biggest mess? my then 2 month old nephew’s diaper explosion all over both of us, and no one else home to help clean/occupy the baby… it. was. disgusting!

  609. Get Me Steamy! Awesome giveaway. Sometimes I think that cleaning the mop bucket and mop after actually moping is the worst part. Gross!

  610. GET ME STEAMY! The fact that I have a 16 month old she let you know about the dozens of messes I clean up on a daily basis! We have hardwoods and lets just say mealtimes are that fun these days.

  611. Get me steamy! Two big cleanups come to mind: recently on of our old 1972 avocado green toilets overflowed and water poured through the kitchen ceiling. Then, last year one of our dogs got sick and let’s just say there were things coming out and up that one should never see. 🙁

  612. Get me steamy!

    Definitely the upstairs bathroom before we moved in to our foreclosure. Gross. Took my friend and I 5 hours, and it’s not a big bathroom!

  613. Get me steamy!

    I could have totally used this over the weekend when my brother spilled an entire beer all over my hardwoods!

  614. Get me steamy! The biggest mess I ever had to tackle was my college apartment—the girls who lived there before were absolute pigs! It took 3 of us 4 days just to make it livable, it so gross!

  615. Get me steamy! This would have really helped on Friday night when my pan sauce exploded (and almost caught on fire…oops) in a greasy mess all over my kitchen! I also love that the mop head goes in the wash! I always feel guilty going through box after box of the swiffer ones. Great giveaway!

  616. Get me steamy!

    The most recent biggest mess would be cleaning my windows. I have done it in 3 years, shame!, and there was definitely mud caked in my window sills. It took a little while to get the whole house done! 🙂

  617. Get Me Steamy!

    The biggest mess ever was when my roommate missed the toilet and barfed all over the bathroom floor…

  618. Get me steamy! The biggest mess I’ve ever cleaned was a house that I rented in college – blech!

  620. GET ME STEAMY!
    Just this past weekend I had to clean a container of honey butter from the back of my parents Explorer. It exploded and went all over, my parents car is not like my car, it’s pristine, and this was not fun to clean. They are never going to let me borrow their car again!

  621. Get me steamy! Biggest mess – I moved into a new apartment and then my cats got fleas! GROSS!! I spent months obsessively vacuuming…

  622. Get me steamy! I hate cleaning my floors!! I have all hardwoods, I love them but hate cleaning them! 🙂

  623. Get me Steamy!!!

    The biggest mess I ever tackled was at my Aunt’s house this summer…my son got a horrible stomach virus and I can’t even speak of what I had to clean up. To have that happen at someone else’s house just made it worse. It involved bedding, carpet, bath mats, walls. It makes me want to pass out just thinking about it!

  624. GET ME STEAMY!!

    The biggest mess I can remember tackling would have to be when our dishwasher drain got clogged. Ugh. Nasty soapy water all over the kitchen floor, plus I had to dip out the bottom of the dishwasher with a measuring cup. We finally had to bring in the shop vac to suck out the drain, where we found copious amounts of watermelon seeds. And guess who eats the watermelon in our house. Yep, me. So, all my fault. Blech.

  626. Get Me Steamy
    Cleaning my now husbands apartment while we were dating, I am convinced he was a hoarder and I stopped it with my cleaning.

  628. Get Me Steamy! I four kids under the age of 5 everyday at my home, Reese and Kate are mine and Jackson and Bennett are my sisters that I care for while she is at work so…..you can imagine my floors every day:0

  629. Get Me Steamy. Someone might have used dish soap in the dishwasher :). While it is a clean mess, it does cause the dishwasher to push out 3 feet high suds all over the kitchen. It took forever to clean…

  630. Get me steamy! I have a 17 month old son, so all of my life’s worst messes definitely come from him. But it’s so much easier to clean after him than it is to clean my giant ancient house.

  631. Get me steamy!

    Cleaning our new house before renovations began was the biggest mess I ever tackled. Thirty years of dirt from the previous owner was DISGUSTING!

  632. Get me Steamy! Sorry to type this here but I doggy-sat a LARGE dog and she kept throwing up…. everywhere…. hardest money I’ve ever made and worst mess I ever had to clean up!

  633. You know what really GETS ME STEAMY?! Sippy cups! Those dang things leak like crazy. Kate LOVES to throw them so they squirt milk all over the floor. I spend half my life cleaning up spilled milk. So I could really use that steam mop!

  634. GET ME STEAMY!!!! The biggest mess I think I have cleaned is apple juice on the kitchen floor!

  635. Get me steamy!
    Fought bed bugs–for THREE MONTHS–and won. Still makes my skin crawl sometimes

  636. Get me steamy!! The biggest mess ever was when my 2 yr old decided to play with his nasty poop when he was suppose to be sleeping. It was over all the walls, his crib, and toys….ughh!

  637. Get Me Steamy!

    Some of the biggest messes ever were when we had carpet and two dogs (one who was just getting housetrained). When we finally ripped out the carpet it smelled so bad that we needed to wear masks. Our house smelled like a brand new place when we had hardwood installed… but now our wood is kinda dusty and dull, so I could use this stem mop.

    I think pet urine in carpet is one of the nastiest messes around.

  638. Get me steamy! A full bottle of white whine that I dropped on the kitchen floor. Glass and wine – and the wine I didn’t get up right away made sticky sounds for quite a while, regardless of how often I mopped. I need this! [email protected]

  639. Get Me Steamy

    Biggest mess I cleaned up happened when I slaved over a pan of lasagna for my college sweetheart, only to drop the entire pan of hot food onto the kitchen floor when I took it out of the oven. BIG. MESS.

  641. GET ME STEAMY…3 cats, 2 dogs, 4 frequently visiting nephews, and a man who works construction all day = a messy home on a daily basis!

  642. Get Me Steamy!!

    The biggest mess I’ve tackled was my hubbie’s bachelor pad bathroom which he didn’t clean since he moved in there…

  643. Get Me Steamy. The biggest mess has been cleaning up the home we purchased from an older couple who had lived in the house for 25+ years! Cleaning wasn’t their thing!

  644. Get me steamy! The biggest mess I ever tackled was cleaning up my baby after a MASSIVE blowout! It caught us off guard because this was after the newborn stage when blowouts were common. 🙂

  646. Get Me Steamy! Biggest mess…probably my apartment (or dorm room) after a party in college. I dont have kids yet though, so I suppose I’ll be tackling bigger kid messes in the future!

  647. Get me steamy!

    My house was disgusting when we first bought it and moved in. It took weeks to get it clean enough to live in.

  648. Get Me Steamy

    I used to clean houses for a gentleman who owned a bunch of old houses around East Carolina University’s campus. Each place was a whole new experience. I’ve never seen so much unidentifiable grime. Bleh! Bad, bad memories…but they are definitely lumped together as the worst messes that I’ve ever cleaned in my entire life. Nothing can compare.

    Bottom line: college boys are gross!

  650. Get me steamy!
    The biggest mess I’ve tackled was…erm. Okay, our dog got horribly sick in one of our bedrooms. It was in the carpet, on the walls, on the furniture. Truly HORRIBLE. It took steam cleaning the carpets five times, we ended up throwing out a couch because we couldn’t get it clean enough, & cleaning/repainting the walls. blech!

  652. GET ME STEAMY!

    I once spilled about a pound and a half of chia seeds all over my kitchen. I don’t think I’ll ever get all of them cleaned up!

  653. Get me steamy!
    I had to clean up clumping kitty litter that the dog attacked while he was alone for 45min. All over nice clean white carpet….did I mention I was pregnant?! While hubs was cleaning the house (with some pretty harsh chemicals) I was outisde cleaning out the dogs mouth with a hose and toothbrush while puking in the bushes! But Porter had some clean teeth!!

  654. Get me steamy! The worst thing I ever cleaned was our black lab that decided to roll in a dead fish after a swimming in a lake! Gross.

  657. Let’s Get Steamy!!

    Worst clean up: the garage. It was so nasty and filled with gross bugs 🙂

  659. Get Me Steamy–I have a one year old, so every day is a messy day!! Your comment about Will eating the food off of the floor is too funny (and very true….)

  660. Get me steamy!!

    Probably the biggest mess happened when I was babysitting four kids in high school. Someone had left a bottle of White Out on the desk in the kitchen and the baby (around 2 or younger) managed to grab the bottle and dump it all over himself and the kitchen floor. I didn’t find him because I was dealing with the other 3 kids until it had already dried into a hardened mess. I did my best to try to clean him off but he was screaming and didn’t like me peeling White Out off of him and I had a hell of a time getting it off the floor. When the parents came home, their baby still had White Out on him and I explained what happened. It was awful.

  661. Get Me Steamy!

    Biggest mess I had to clean was when my puppy Georgia threwed through everything in the bathroom trashcan and decorated my entire bedroom with trash. Not fun. Good thing she’s cute!!

  662. Get me steamy! Biggest mess was my bathroom re-do. Ripping down wallpaper…adhered directly to drywall with no prepping. Ugh!

  663. Get Me Steamy!

    Two bored dogs ripping all the stuffing out of their beds and scattering it all over the house. It was like a blizzard in there!

  664. GET ME STEAMY! Between a dog and one year old there is a mess to clean up everyday! Most recently, our AC unit leaked and flooded down into the laundry room. Dry Wall, Water, insulation – A big hot mess!

  665. Get Me Steamy!

    Pulling out the oven every so often usually turns into a bigger mess than it needs to be. Everything that drips down the side of it while cooking is gross!

  666. GET ME STEAMY!! The worst cleaning job I had to do was cleaning out my “new” house after we finished renovating. If I ever renovate again, I’m paying someone for that!

  667. GET ME STEAMY!

    My dad liked to choose weekend projects like cleaning out the garage or basement, or, my personal favorite, tearing down an old barn on our property (and there were snakes in there…eek!). Lots of dirt and sweat during those times.

  670. I hate cleaning too…..BUT I’m anticipating nesting soon soooooo……Get Me Steamy!!!!

  671. GET ME STEAMY!

    My son is what we call a puker. He has a very sensitive gag reflex and hasn’t figured out yet that he can’t keep shoving food into his mouth without swallowing some first. As a result, we end up with messy floors at least once a week… Gross!

  674. Get Me Steamy!

    Biggest mess I ever tackled was for a friend. At the time, he was just starting out on his own and his mother was no longer there to pick up after him. Literally, there was moldy water (is that even possible?!?!) in a sink. It was atrocious. Gag inducing, eye stinging awfulness. Took him several months to dirty and it took me 9 or 10 days of 4-5 hour shifts to get that place spic-and-span. About half way through, I almost quit and he offered to pay me so I stayed. I made weekly visits to make sure he kept it up.

  675. Get me steamy!

    The biggest mess we have had is when we re-did our entire kitchen – drywall dust, insulation, paint chips, old vinyl flooring…it was rough but we are so happy we did it!

  676. GET ME STEAMY! The biggest mess I ever cleaned up was when my then 2-year-old son covered himself, including his hair, with vasoline. Luckily my mom knew about the miracle of cornstarch for such emergencies. It took a while to get him back to normal though.

  678. Get Me Steamy

    The biggest mess was cleaning up after puchasing a fire damaged “as is” home. Took weeks to clean.

  679. GET ME STEAMY!

    One of my top messes was when I was moving a lighted candle from the living room mantle to the kitchen, tripped over the cat (who lives at my feet), and spilled hot wax all over my living room rug (thank god not the cat!). Several google searches later on how to remove wax from a wool rug its hard to notice it happened but still! What a mess!

  680. Get me steamy! The most recent mess clean up was late last night. We had a bug infestation in the bathroom and I ended up shop vacuuming up the floor/walls/ceiling because of the hundreds of bugs crawling all over. Not a fun experience after being gone all day!

  681. GET ME STEAMY!

    While renovating our kitchen, we moved our “kitchen” into our living room. Between drywall dust, construction dirt, dog hair, and the other chaos that comes from renovating, our living room was a wreck by the time our kitchen was useable again. Shop-vac, vacuum cleaner, and Mr Clean to the rescue. Yikes.

  682. Get me steamy!

    I NEED this thing. I kind of have the same floor cleaning philosophy that you do. The biggest mess that I’ve had to pick up was when a bag of thawing chicken accidentally sprung a leak and leaked chicken juice all over the fridge. GROSS!

  683. Get me steamy!

    I think the biggest floor-related mess was when my college roommate (a guy of course) used dish soap instead of dishwasher detergent in the dishwasher. You know those college apartment kitchens aren’t very big so imagine the ENTIRE space filled with bubbles up to the countertops.

    Why yes, it was his first time living away from home, why do you ask? 🙂

  684. Get Me Steamy!!
    With two dogs and a husband my floors can get DISGUSTING, I’ll spare you the details of what two dogs can get up to while your away all day at work! I think this would be the little miracle I need!

  685. Get me steamy!

    I once packed and cleaned my brother’s dorm room after his junior year of college. Surprisingly, it wasn’t as gross as it was messy. When I arrived, I assumed he’d have packed his things. I was wrong. 🙂

  686. Get me steamy! The biggest mess was when my husband spilled vegetable oil INSIDE our cabinet and it dripped everywhere!

  688. Get Me Steamy!

    We’ve got a schnauzer who eats everything, grass, compost, dead animals, dirt, sticks, chalk, etc. So in turn, he usually gets sick from the front or the back, and that is by far the sickest thing I’ve ever had to clean up. Worse than anything my little girl (14 months) has ever produced!

    If I had this steam mop, I’d probably even use it on myself! 🙂

  689. Get me steamy!

    I hate cleaning, too, so every cleaning job seems overwhelming to me. The worst is the bathroom floor with hair products, hair, dog hair and dust. Ick.

  690. “Get Me Steamy!” The biggest mess I ever cleaned up on a floor was as a teenager after I tipped over the Fry Daddy. As you can imagine, grease was everyhwere. EVERYWHERE! It was not fun to clean up. Katie, you’re probably to young to know what a Fry Daddy is so trust me when I tell you it was bad. I love french fries like you love bacon!

  693. Get me steamy! My father-in-law just dropped a brand new bottle of salad dressing on our hardwood floor. The glass bottle shattered, of course, and ounces of salad dressing glugged out all over the kitchen…ugh. I need the steam mop!

  694. Get Me Steamy!

    Taking down some original wallpaper in our 1920s house…it had texture…which promptly melted into white gummy goop when we steamed it off…it was nasty!

  695. Get me steamy! I had an old washing machine; after it filled with water, it sprung a leak and all that water ended up on my floor. Goodness.

  696. Get Me Steamy! In the first weeks home with my baby girl, I was fairly manic about keeping things clean. Baby and dog both made this a horrible challenge – the dog decided to have sympathy spit up sessions that threatened to ruin our hardwood floors! Guh, I never want to go through that again.

  698. Get Me Steamy!!! The biggest mess I ever tackled was the bath house at camp when I was a counselor….gross!

  699. GET ME STEAMY!!

    I think the biggest mess I ever had to clean was the basement of my house when I moved in. Previous owners had let cats use the whole thing as a litter box, enough said.

  700. Get Me Steamy!

    I’m going with smelliest, nastiest mess. When the hubs and I gutted our master bath, the old master bath sink drain had lots of presents waiting for us when we took everything out. It required a mask, safety googles, gloves and more to clean that thing out.

  701. Get Me Steamy
    Every week, it’s the same challenge: keeping the hardwood floors in our living & dining room clean! I won’t even mention what goes on under the entertainment unit and sectional 😉

  703. Get me steamy! I’d have to say the biggest mess that I’ve ever tackled I’m in the process of right now – my brother’s apartment (man, it is dirty).

  704. GET ME STEAMYYY!

    I had a huge ginormous plant that I kept indoors. Whelp, my dog – a Boxer – thought it’d be real cute to tear up this huge plant. We could have threw some seeds in and planted a garden in our living room. There was dirt and plants everywhere! It was a TERRIBLE mess.

  705. GET ME STEAMY!

    The biggest mess I had to tackle would be cleaning up after my 2 year old after he came down with stomach virus. Needless to say, the explosion of nastiness coming out of him every 10 minutes was enough to make me need 5 steam mops.

  707. Get Me Steamy!

    I think our biggest mess was the dust that settled into EVERY SINGLE NOOK AND CRANNY after our bathroom remodel. I was cleaning for weeks and never felt like I got all the dust up. This Black and Decker Steam Mop would be a HUGE help in my fight against dusty floors. 🙂

  708. Get Me Steamy!

    On my wedding day my brother, brother-in-law, and some other family members broke into our house and tp’d everything……that wasn’t as bad as the crazy string they sprayed all over the house……walls, doors, floor, ceiling, you name it, it was everywhere. Think I still have some plastered to my door after 4 years 🙂

  709. “Get Me Steamy” I have a nearly 4-year old, a nearly 1-year old and a dog. Whatever the kids toss down, the dog cleans up. Now I need to get the dog drool off the floor… Biggest mess: when I left a glass of water propped in the water dispenser of the fridge and forgot about it. Floor was wet, basement got rained into and our dispenser no longer works.

  710. Get Me Steamy! I’m a weirdo that LOVES cleaning…I think it’s the OCD in me. It’s what I day dream about…weird.

  712. Get me steamy!!!

    The biggest mess I have had to clean up was in our condo after it had been rented to the same person for three years. The carpet was stained from what I thought was wearing shoes through the condo. Once I started to vacuum I realized it was dust. I guess the carpet wasn’t vacuumed in three years…so we replaced it!

  714. Get me Steamy!!

    This question takes me back- way back to when I was eleven. I was supposed to be babysitting my little brothers and I wasn’t paying attention to what they were doing. They had gotten into the kitchen cupboards and poured out every spice we had and then poured a bottle of syrup on top. Guess who had to clean up that mess!! Nowadays most people wouldn’t let eleven-year-olds babysit little kids, but you know how it was back then 🙂

  715. Get me Steamy!
    Ok so I’m warning you now that this is my first time commenting and it’s going to be a tiny bit long. 1st, In the interest of honoring your winning guidelines, the biggest mess that I’ve ever been a part of cleaning up was a house fire and it was sad, but then it was clean, and it left me with a desire to be a tidy soul forever!
    2nd, I crack up every single time I see one of these mops because I want one so badly, and that is kind of a weird right of passage that just makes me laugh. It’s on my Christmas list. No mom, no cashmere for me, I’m just dying to have one of those amazing steam mops!. It’s a special time of life really. 🙂 Fingers crossed that we can take this off the Christmas list and go back to asking for life’s less industrial luxuries! Thanks for sharing!

    I have four dogs. I tackle the biggest mess ever in the kitchen when they come in from outside! Did I mention they like to dip their feet in their water then play in the mud!!!

  718. Get me steamy!
    The biggest mess I ever cleaned was in my old Paris apartment-thick, black mold on the walls. Gross 🙁

  719. Get me steamy!

    Biggest mess was definitely when I volunteered with a group in high school to clean up a creek alongside a road. That. Was. Gross. But definitely rewarding to see how much we were able to do in just one day 🙂

  720. GET ME STEAMY!

    Once I was on a conference call and my kids, then ages 2 and 3.5, emptied an ENTIRE bottle of Hershey’s syrup all over the kitchen floor. A STICKY DISASTER.

  722. GET ME STEAMY!!!
    I was making cheesy potatoes in the oven and the glass dish SHATTERED, there was cheesy glass bits allll over the bottom of the oven, seriously such a pain to clean!!

  723. Get Me Steamy!

    I recently flash froze a bottle of Margarita mix, which promptly burst in the freezer. Did I mention my freezer is on the bottom? And the rolling drawer is a wire basket? It oozed between everything in there and onto the floor when I pulled the drawer/basket out. Glass shards and sticky green goo is gross. Yikes.

  725. Get me steamy!

    Moving into our apartment, which we hadn’t seen before, and cleaning up more spiders than I’ve ever seen! UGH!

  728. Make it steamy! No, wait, get me steamy!

    We have hardwood floors in our house, 2 toddlers and a potty-training puppy. Need I say more?

    🙂

    In high school i cleaned out rental units for my dad. I know a thing or two about a disgusting mess.

  732. Get me steamy!

    I worked at McDonald’s for 5 years in high school and college and the biggest mess I’ve ever cleaned in my life is when the toilet in the men’s room overflowed there. And instead of someone coming to tell us that it had happened, the person proceeded to finish his business on the FLOOR, hide it with a paper towel, and leave. I had to throw out my shoes and socks after that business. NASTY.

  733. Get me steamy!! the house we rented before we bought our current house…it had a house fly problem of epic proportions. The exterminator had already been by to eradicate the problem from the outside, but we still had live flies buzzing around all the windows. I ruined my old vacuum cleaner cleaning up live flies from the windows and I’ve never been so grossed out in my life.

  734. GET ME STEAMY!
    My worst mess is super embarrassing…one summer in college, I was living in a church (they had a few rooms for students who in exchange for free rent would help plan fellowship activities, help keep the building clean, make coffee, etc.) Anyways, this church was very near a busy downtown that also happened to be home for lots of homeless people. One Saturday afternoon, there was a wedding going on in the church, and as I was leaving my room, a woman came up to me and said, “I’m here for the wedding, and I need to use your shower, Carol said so.” Carol was a boss to me, so I assumed she knew what she was talking about. I took her back to my bathroom, gave her a towel and shampoo, and went downstairs. I asked Carol why this woman needed to use my shower, and Carol got super mad, because apparently, this was NOT a wedding guest…it was a homeless woman Carol had told to leave. Fast forward to Carol kicking the homeless lady out of my bathroom…my beautiful white bathroom looked like a puppy had rolled around in the mud, then came inside and shook off… IT WAS AWFUL. You can bet I bleached, windexed, and lysoled the crap out of that bathroom!!! Definitely my worst mess yet. :O

  735. Get me steamy … I can’t think of one that is worse than the others but I have cleaned my share of vomit and urine and poop from my dog and kids.

  736. GET ME STEAMY!!

    I have a 34 year old man-child, 2 boxers, a 2 year old, and another on the way… I may need more than a mop…

  737. Get me steamy! I have been researching these because I am so tired of my too-short-handle Swiffer! I used to clean my now-husband’s college apartment bathroom which was shared with two other guys. Gross.

  738. Get Me Steamy!

    I moved into an apartment once that hadn’t had anyone living in it for almost a year. The level of dust and dirt on the floors was unbelievable. After mopping really well and still having our feet turn black, I finally had to get on my hands and knees and scrub the floors. It was pretty awful!

  739. Get Me Steamy! Moving into an apartment that hadn’t been cleaned and the previous owner had a dog.

  741. GET ME STEAMY!!

    About a year’s worth of mildew in shower grout and caulk…not as bad as some other commenters, but gross nonetheless!

  742. GET ME STEAMY 🙂

    I grew up in the country when I was younger. Needless to say that my dad was pretty squeamish when it came to cleaning up sick dog messes!!!

    I NEED THIS!

  743. Get me steamy!

    Cleaning up after formals in college…who knew girls could be so messy?!

  744. Get me steamy!!!
    I was a custodian at a middle school for 2 years…. you don’t want to know what I had to clean up!

  745. Get me steamy! Cleaning all of our rental apartments (before we bought) – I always felt like they were dirty, no matter how clean we got them!

  746. Get me steamy!
    Worst floor mess, by far, is when the dog throws up. Let’s just say it’s a lot easier to clean up if he’s in the linoleum-floor kitchen than the carpeted rec room 🙂

  748. GET ME STEAMY! The worst thus far was peanut butter and italian dressing in my hair (summer camp prank, long ago – the smell didn’t leave my hair for days!)

  749. i would LOVE this! i think i’ve tried everything to clean our wood floors – and i’m with you, it’s no fun, no fun at all.

  751. Get me steamy!

    The hardwood floors of my house when I first moved in. The previous owners had adorable kids who left some not so adorable messes on the floors!

  753. GET ME STEAMY!

    The biggest mess I’ve ever tackled is the one we dealt with when we bought our new house, so this would seriously come in handy!

  755. GET ME STEAMY.

    The hubs dropped a jar of salsa while I was out of town for a few days. He cleaned up “what he could see” but I spent the better part of a weekend scrubbing dried salsa off of cabinets and the floor.
