Home Goods: The (Unfortunately Named) Shark Steam Cleaner

March 30, 2025

Okay, we know what you’re thinking—“Shark”?! In a coastal town?! Not our favorite word either. But stick with us, because this little cleaning gadget is a total game-changer for life in a beach town.

If you’re new to Mexico (or just settling into your Puerto Morelos groove), you’re probably starting to notice how much gunk finds its way into your home. Sand, salt, mystery grime tracked in by pets, kids, or bare feet… and all of it ends up on your lovely tile floors. And don’t even get us started on the grout.

Enter: the Shark Steam Mop. (Can we call it something else? Maybe the Not-a-Jellyfish Steam Cleaner? We’ll workshop it.)

Here’s why we love it:

  • Just add water – Seriously, that’s it. No harsh chemicals, just steam. Great for the environment and your indoor air.
  • Grout whisperer – This thing gets deep into those grout lines and pulls out the kind of dirt you didn’t even know was living there.
  • Pet & kid approved – Quick clean-ups without worrying about leaving behind residues from floor cleaners.
  • Lightweight & easy to use – No buckets, no wringing, no drama.
  • Machine-washable pads = less waste – The microfiber pads are machine washable and reusable, making it not only a cleaner option but also a more sustainable one. And when they eventually wear out, replacement pads are easy to find on Amazon.

Whether you’re chasing muddy paw prints, juice spills, or just the daily layer of beach life, this mop’s got your back—and your floors.

Pro Tip: Add a few drops of essential oil on the mop pad (not in the water tank!) if you want that fresh, spa-vibes scent while you clean.

Living in paradise comes with its own quirks—some sandy, some salty, and some just plain unexpected. That’s why we created Home Goods—to share the real-life tools and tips that help us (and our clients) live our best coastal lives here in Puerto Morelos.
