Have you ever felt like your floors are never really clean, even after constant rounds of cleaning and mopping? You’re definitely not alone—for many Singaporean homes, it seems that mopping just makes things worse. That’s because many of us are still cleaning the old-school way, with just a mop and a bucket of water; which is probably the worst possible cleaning method, especially with Singapore’s humid climate.

Traditional mopping just doesn’t cut it anymore, for a couple of reasons: dust, dirt and grime easily accumulates on your floors and in tight crevices in between furniture. Not to mention if you have pets too, you’re sure to find fur in various corners as well. This makes mopping extra challenging, because you need to do so frequently in order to keep all the dust and fur at bay, and you might not even be able to reach every corner of the house anyway. Add on Singapore’s humid climate into the mix: and you’ve got a recipe for floors that are never really dry, and are even left smelling damp no matter what—gross.

So, what then? Perhaps it’s high time we upgrade how we clean our homes—just like we’ve upgraded pretty much everything else in our homes anyway. Instead of simply cleaning harder, why not clean smarter too? If the OG mop with water doesn’t work in Singapore, perhaps steam might; and we found one steam product in particular that just might check all of our boxes (and yours).

Enter Tineco’s Steam floor washer: the high-efficiency solution for eliminating lingering dampness and musty smells on your floors for good. Especially in Singapore’s humid climate, steam cleaning is a game-changer: it offers zero waiting time and superior hygiene, as high-temperature steam disinfects and sanitizes in one pass. Tineco’s washers are an all-in-one vacuum and mop that steam-cleans your floors and simultaneously draws used water into the dirty water tank, leaving surfaces dry and streak-free. Say goodbye to wringing out heavy mops or wasting money on disposable wipes; say hello to barefoot-ready floors that actually stay clean.

And our favourite part? The Tineco Stretch Steam even cleans itself, thanks to their upgraded FlashDry technology. After you’re done cleaning, the FlashDry technology cleans and dries the washer’s brush roller with hot air in as little as just 5 minutes. For the busy Singaporean, this means less time spent on tiresome chores and more time freed up for things you actually love.
