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.”
Please email me Holly at [email protected] to claim your prize! And thanks to all who entered for this week’s great giveaway!

Cleaning up my son’s vomit, seven times in one day, was pretty messy…and gross.
Tara says
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.
Kristen K says
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.
Lauren says
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.
Bridget says
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.
Rebecca M says
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.

Cat throw up… which while cleaning results in MY throw up.. uggh…
Heather Davis says
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! 🙂
Sarah McK says
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.
Holly says
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 🙂
Holly R. says

Get Me Steamy!
When our sub-pump broke during a heavy storm and the basement flooded. Kinda horrendous.
Lisa says
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!!!
Jessica says
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. 🙁

Maggie says
Get Me Steamy! I try not to clean!
Danielle says
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.
Bobby says
Get Me Steamy!
angela bittle says
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!
Darcie says

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.
Mallory says
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!
Ashley Beccard says

Get Me Steamy
Dried dog vomit. Not fun at all!!
Sugar Cookie says
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!!
Ashley W says
Get Me Steamy!
BBQ sauce..stick and thick!
Katie B. says
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!
Eves says
Dog poop. Always fun…

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

Clare says
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!
Kim B says
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.
alexis a says
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!
jaime says
Get Me Steamy!
Biggest mess: cat with a leaky butt. She made a very unsanitary mess in the kitchen.
Charlotte Anne says
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.
Dacia says
Get me steamy!
My dog got sick during the night in several different locations. It was like a really terrible scavenger hunt!
Heather says
Get me Steamy! I need to do the bathroom floors. You know its bad when you ban company from using them. Shame.
Evee M says
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!
Lara says
Get me steamy! The biggest mess was when a pipe burst in the house and then cleaning up after the renovation guys “fixed” everything.
Rebecca says
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.
Stephanie says
Get Me Steamy!!! I think the biggest mess I’ve cleaned to date was a toddler’s overflowing diaper. Eeewww!
Jennifer says
Get Me Steamy! Biggest mess was a house that sat empty for over a year. Yuck!
Lori says
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.
Charity says
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 🙂
RobynRuns says
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!
Megan says
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!
RachelSD says
Get me steamy!
Brand new floors… brand new tenants. We need help!
Emily says
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!
Angela says
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.
Kristal says
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.
Zanna says
Get Me Steamy!!
I don’t know what’s worse…dog throw-up or doggie diarrhea?
Liz says
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.
Amanda says
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…)
Chris says
Get me steamy!
The biggest (and most disgusting mess) would be when the sewer backed up in our basement- twice!
Dana says
Get me steamy! REALLy need one for all the wood floors at my house! 🙂
Caitlin says
GET ME STEAMY!!!
My dog ate something not so nice…the grout on my tile floor will never be the same!!
Jody says
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.
Anne says
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!
katie says
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…
Christa says
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. 😉
Alana says
Get Me Steamy!
Biggest Mess: Cleaning a townhouse that had been occupied by five girls (including me) when graduating from college. Disgusting!
Stephanie //Vintage Modern Bride says
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!
Laura says
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.
Melissa S. says
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!
Leah says
Get me steamy!! There’s few things worse than waking up in the morning and finding dog puke randomly around the house!
Tracy says
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!!!
Brenda J says
Get Me Steamy
The biggest mess I’ve cleaned up so far was dog related. In a rental apartment. At 3am.
Ashley W. says
Get me steamy!!
I think cleaning baby diapers once they start eating solid foods is a pretty darn big mess!
Stephanie says
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!
Joanna says
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.
Jessica says
Get me steamy!
Biggest mess: cat messes…i’ll leave it at that. 🙂
atout says
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!
Laura says
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!
Stephanie Elise says
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!
Lindsey says
Get me steamy!
Um, probably my house this weekend…I swear we’ve been living like animals!
Anna says
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!
Laura L. says
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!
Sara says
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.
Alexandra says
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!!!
Emily S says
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!
Beth says
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
Kelly B. says
”Get Me Steamy” Our cats got a little “territorial” when we had our first baby. Fun times…
Katie says
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.
Shunta says
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.
Whitney says
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.
Jessica Garcia says
Get me steamy!
Laura says
Get me steamy.
I have 4 kids. My oldest is 5. The end.
Everyday is the biggest mess ever.
Amanda says
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.
Stephanie says
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!)
Sarah B. says
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.
Megan A. says
Get me steamy! Cleaning before/after you move is always the worst!
Amber says
Get me steamy! The biggest mess to me is always throw up…….YUCK!!!
Kelly P says
Get me steamy!
Biggest mess is my as yet to be cleaned house right this very second. Bleh!
Emily says
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!
Rachel says
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.
Sandi says
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!
Rachel says
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.
Lorelle says
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.
Dara says
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.
lisa says
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. 🙁
Alison says
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! 🙂
Holly says
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!
Christine says
Get me steamy!
Cleaning out the fridge is always, by far, the most scarring experience.
Maggie says
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.
Taylor says
Get me steamy! Moving always makes you realize how dirty your house is when you didn’t know it before…
Angie says
get me steamy! Moving into our 103 yr old house!
Justine says
Get me steamy!
One of the worst was cornstarch and water all over my kitchen floor.
Lauren Owens says
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…
Amanda says
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!!
Beth says
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.
Amy says
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.
Amanda says
Get me Steamy!!
Julie says
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 🙂
Christine says
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 🙂
Dee Hutchings says
Get me steamy! Probably cleaning out my great-grandmother’s house after she passed away!
Kathy says
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.
Julie says
Get me steamy! Still don’t know HOW it happened, but once while baking a pizza, the glass window shattered – startling and messy. Bummer!
Rachel @ Common to Moms says
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!

Get me steamy!
One word–vomit.
Sara D. says
GET ME STEAMY!! The biggest mess I’ve tackled would probably have to be my bathroom when we first moved in. YUCK!
Cate says
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!!
Lauren says
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!
Emily says
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!
Sarah R. says
Get Me Steamy!
Well… mine involves dog-sitting an English Mastiff with a bladder/bowel issue. ‘Nuff said.
Erin says
Get me steamy!
Apartment after living with 5 guys one summer. Talk about gross!
nicole says
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!
Amanda says
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.
jina says
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…
Kristen S. says
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!
Em says
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!)
Stacie Gobin says
Get Me Steamy! 50lb sick dog, enough said
Jessica says
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. 🙂
Leah says
Get me steamy!
Sarah says
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.
Stacy says
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!! 🙂
Erin F says
GET ME STEAMY! I worked in food service as a teen…cleaned up lots of fun junk off the floor! 🙂
Leda says
Get me steamy!
Poop in the tub….the worst
Sarah R says
Get me steamy!
A dozen raw eggs all over the kitchen floor. Not fun!!
Kelly says
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.
Heather W says
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!
Erika W says
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.
Sarah says
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!
Tina says
Get me Steamy! I have four boys. I clean up crazy messes all the time and just try to block it out! 🙂
Kelli says
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!
Kristel says
Get me steamy!! baby throwup in a bag full of stuff. Barf.
Amy says
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!
Mh toth says
Get me steamy….. My fridge. Vanilla bean yogurt spilled and congealed
Amber says
Get me steamy!
Anytime I’m finished cooking dinner in the kitchen = big old mess! I would love to have one of these.
Kristen says
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.
Mary Beth says
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!)
Nicole says
Get me steamy! My husband..
Jackie says
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!
kayduh says
Get me steamy!
Cleaning up after a flip cup tournament is probably the worst I’ve ever done.
Amy says
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!
Jamie M says
Get Me Steamy! We have 3 dogs, so they can make some pretty terrible messes!
Jamie S says
Get Me Steamy!
The biggest messes I have had have been dog related. No kids yet!
Morgan says
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.
Sara says
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! 🙂
Erin P says
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! 🙂
Kelly says
Get me steamy! I am currently battling red nail polish vs beige carpet and I am not sure who is winning. 🙁
Kate says
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.
Rachel says
GET ME STEAMY!!!
Cleaning up after gross boys!! ewwww
Laura Martin says
Get Me Steamy!
The biggest mess? Cleaning up after my bulldog who got explosive diarrhea….so not fun.
Emily @ NewlyWife says
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.
Kel says
Get me steamy!
In my house, the biggest messes are always pet related.
Chrissy says
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!
Kristy says
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!
Jess @ Zocal Creative says
Get me steamy!
The exploding diaper that my 18 month old gifted us this weekend!
Heather says
Get me steamy!!!
Moon sand is a serious nightmare!!!

We have three ferrets and a rabbit so we are constantly cleaning cages.
Krystal says
Get Me Steamy!
2boys, a husband, and 3 dogs… you name it everyday I am cleaning it!
Sara says
Get me steamy! We have two dogs, so we’re always cleaning up big messes!
Bethany says
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.
Veronica says
Get me steamy!
I tackled a dorm room that hadn’t been done for over a year. For real. It was disgusting!!!!

Dog vomit projectile vomited all over my living room!

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! ; )
Tracy says
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.
Bri says
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!!!
Kim says
Get me steamy!
Wallpaper glued onto wallpaper.. yuck.
lauren says
Get Me Steamy!!
My biggest mess story is too gross to share details, but involves vomit and a shag carpet. Gross.
CarliJean says
GET me STEEEEEMAY!
I helped clean a hoarders house. Yeah, we never did finish. It was horrible.
Laurah says
Get me steamy!
Dog vomit! So stinky, so gross!

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!
Corrie says
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!
Kari @ Human, MD says
Get Me Steamy! I used to clean out the garage about once a year and it was always a tremendous undertaking.
daniele says
Get me STEAMY! I always have a big mess with 3 kids, 1 dog and 1 husband.

The worst mess I ever cleaned up was when the toilet overflowed one time. Yuck times 100!!!
Lori says
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!!
Britiney @ Consider the Lilies says
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!!
Carla says
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 🙂
Angie says
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!
Lisa says
Get me Steamy!
Um…worst mess? A dog with food poisoning…on the rug.
Emily R says
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!
Hannah says
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!
Lori H says
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..)
chatelaine says
Get Me Steamy!
It’s always dog related……. i’m not going in to details…… yuck.
Diane says
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!
allisonpre says
This would be great after everytime my son eats!
Melissa says
PLEASE get me steamy, cuz I have a 2 year old bulldog and laminate floors!
Emily says
Get me steamy!
My biggest mess definitely includes baby excretion from both ends… no need to elaborate.
Erin says
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!!
Nancy says
“Get me Steamy” Spilling an entire bucket of mop water all over the kitchen floor-Arghhhhh!
Lisa N. says
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!
Chrissy says
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!
Samantha says
”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.
Rachel B. says
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.
Katie says
Get me steamy!
The dog getting sick on the carpet…awful.
ashlie says
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?
rae says
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!
Arlene says
Get me steamy! I just scrubbed all the gunk off our tub/shower walls and it took me an hour- it was that disgusting!
Lindsay Cleveland says
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!
nicole mason says
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!!!
Debbie says
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….
Tera says
Get me steamy! Biggest mess is likely dog related…poop, vomit, some combination. Baby messes to come this December! 🙂
Mgan says
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.
Deanna says
GET ME STEAMY!!
I have the hardest time getting keeping floors lookin’ good, especially with our giant puppy!
Maria says
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…
Lauren says
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!
savannah says
”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
Madeline says
Get Me Steamy!
Anyway involving my two big shedding machine dogs!!! …but I still love them 🙂
Michele says
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!
Jess says
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.
kennedy says
get me steamy! i have two dogs and two children under three – my house is a mess 24/7!

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

Moving my boyfriend out of his apartment! Boys can be so gross!

Cleaning our house last fall when we purchased it, it was a foreclosure and a rental, nasty!
Liz says
Get me steamy!
The dog, the dog, the dog!
Kaitlyn says

Organizing my filthy detached garage was definitely the biggest mess I’ve ever tackled. If I could steam clean it I totally would!
Mary says
Get me steamy! Toddler puke on carpet, furniture, and myself. Yuck.
Melissa says
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!
April says
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!
Annie says
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.
Dora B says
Get Me Steamy!
Biggest mess is cleaning up after my son as an infant and his massive vomiting of his formula. Ugh!
Amy says
“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!
Val says
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)
Meghan says
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.
Kelli says
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!
Megan says
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!
Ashley says
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!
Lynsey says
GET ME STEAMY!!!
I came home from work one day to a flooded basement. Not a fun thing to clean up, at all!
angelina says

dogs+cats+carpet+one week alone.
Sara @ It's Good to be Queen says
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.
Mary-Beth at short, sweet season says
GET ME STEAMY! I would say that projectile newborn poop is the biggest mess I’ve tackled. That stuff can fly!
Molly Miller says
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!
Amanda says
Get me steamy!!
I work at a restaurant, so the semi annual deep cleaning of our wait stations is a NIGHTMARE!
Jamie Sholock says
Get me steamy!
worst cleaning mess-2 small kids with the stomach flu-yuck!
Rhiannon says
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.
Winnie says
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!!
liza says
get me steamy!
we live like phrat boys so we could totally use one 🙂
amymargaretc says
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.
Cindy Reynolds says
GET ME STEAMY! My husband’s car – it’s almost always an exceptional mess, and I occasionally clean it out.
Emily says
GET ME STEAMY!!! Cleaning up a totally flooded basement… twice! We fixed it all up and MOVED!
Eric says
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.
stacy says
Get me steamy!
Hmm, hard to narrow down the messes with 3 little kids…probably the brownie crumbs on the floor last week!
rhiannon says
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.
Alexis says
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!
Kate H. says
Get Me Steamy!
Worst mess? Two very sick, very BIG dogs and white carpet. I’ll leave it at that.
Katie says
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!
Ashley says
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.
Kristin from No Ordinary Cole says
Get me steamy … Olive oil on my tiled kitchen floor!
Amy O'Brien says
Get me steamy!!!
My biggest mess was definitely my son’s smash cake at his first birthday…whew, that kid loves cake!!!
Lindsey says
Get me steamy! The biggest mess I had to clean was a bottle of soda that exploded everywhere. Very sticky!
Jenn B says
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!
Morgan says
Get me steamy! Every day is a big mess with my sweet St Bernard! 🙂
Tristina says
Get Me Steamy!
I just potty trained my son. Need I say more?
Karen Brown says
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.
lindsaywillman says
“Get Me Steamy” Biggest mess…my toddler is potty training. I’ll leave the rest to your imagination :o/
Sally says
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!!
Jill says
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.
Jennifer W says
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.
Ashley says
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!!
Liz B. says
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.

Spilled paint on our hardwood floors 🙁

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!!
Maggie says
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.
Adrienne @ Duchess of Damask says
Get me steamy!!
The grossest thing I ever cleaned was the basement of the nasty house I lived in during college.
Yuck!
Brandy says
Get Me Steamy
Sick dog, cat and kid all in one weekend- I’ve never been so happy for Monday in my life!
Alisa says
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!
Lynn says
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 🙂
Lara says
Get Me Steamy!
My biggest messes have been when my cat pees on the floor, both tile and carpet, multiple times. He has issues.
Jill says
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.
Alison says
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…
Erica says
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!
Katy Campbell says
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…)
Jessica Lauren says
Get Me Steamy! The kiddos I nanny for make the biggest mess when they eat! A steam mop would be amazing!
Kara says

I teach 3rd grade….so you don’t even want to know.;)
Ash @ Good Taste Healthy Me says
Get me steamy!
This would rock! I have hardwood floors that really need some love. I would love to just use water instead of swiffer!
emily a says
Get me steamy!
I honestly love to clean!
This would be a welcome addition to my already OCD cleaning regime!
Feed my addiction 🙂
Liz says
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.
Jade says
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.
amalisa says
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.
Joy says
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.
Martha says
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!
Jessica says
STEAM ME! My puppy likes to shed and slobber! I need that mop!!
Courtney F. says
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.
Kathryn says
Get Me Steamy!
My dog gets sick from stressing herself out every time I take her on a trip. Poor thing and poor me.
Michelle says
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!
Nicole says
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.
WhisperWood Cottage says
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!
Rebecca says
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!
Jaime says
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!!!
Tina says
”Get Me Steamy”
My bedroom because I have so much stuff in there! Its like my closet threw up!
Kelly says
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!
Sarah @ w30 says
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!
Sharon says
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))
Ashley says
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).
Beth says
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…
Aron says
Get me steamy! Grout, grout, grout!!
josie says
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.
Samantha says

I once dropped an entirely new bottle of vanilla extract on the floor. A glass bottle. It was quite the mess…haha
Jen says
Get me sticky!
Two words. Deer carcass. (We live in the country with coyotes)
Kellee says
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 🙁
Caitlin says
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.
samantha says
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.
Kelly says
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!!
Karen W says
Get me steamy. The biggest mess…..removing/ installing wooden floors! Yuck! Glue…..
Karen Perry says
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…
AngieS says
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! :))
Brianne says
Get Me Steamy. 3 kids and 2 dogs!
Michelle says
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.
Tom says
Get me steamy! I spilled motor oil on the carpet! That was a big mess…
Becky says

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.
Kristin says
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.
Meredith Reffey says
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!

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

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.
Nicole says
”Get Me Steamy” My room is my on going biggest mess.
Jenna says
Get me steamy!
The largest mess I’ve cleaned is when my son took off his diaper and got poop all over the carpet.
Erin @ What Makes Home says
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.
katrina says

Patti Hinkle says
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.
Jennifer says
Get Me Steamy! Biggest mess? Shattered jar of rhubarb jam
Meg says
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 🙂
Cheryl says
Get Me Steamy!! I had our toilet upstairs overflow, come through the floor and down onto the floors and walls of the main level.
jessica says
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.
Kylie says
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.
Vanessa says

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

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.
Sandra says
Get me steamy!
I hate trying to clean spilled soft drink or tea. Leaves a sticky mess that requires wash, rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat.
Gloria says
GET ME STEAMY…..poop in the bathtub, need I say more?

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

three kids, home daycare, several animals… can think of one huge mess so I am guessing I am suffering from selective memory!
Carli says
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 🙂
suzanne says
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!!
Danene says
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.

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!
Jamie J. says
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!
Tracy Napper says
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? 😉
Lindsay @ Lindsay's List says
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!
SushiMama says
Get me steamy.
Cleaning up after a sick dog- sick from both ends, left inside all day while we were at work. Ughh, bad memories.
Rachel J says
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!!
Beth says
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?! 🙂
Ali says
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.
Allison says
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!
Andrea says
Get Me Steamy!
The biggest mess…well, my puppy had bloody diarrhea last week. Ew, right?
Victoria Flip. says
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.
Mandi says

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!!

My dog had a very unfortunate accident in our basement and is not longer allowed inside. Poor guy!
Michelle Andersen says
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!!!
Aimee says
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.
melissa says
“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….)
Denise says
Get me steamy! Sick dog pooping all over the one carpeted room in the whole house, and inexplicably onto the curtains as well…. GROSS!
Lisa says
Get me steamy! German shepherd with the runs & vomiting. Nasty stuff.
Erin @ The Great Indoors says
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!
Sarah says
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.
Jen says

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!
Bridget says
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!
Karyn Breznau says
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!
stefanie says
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.
Kristiina says
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 🙂

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

Probably the worst clean up I’ve dealt with was our refrigerator after a week long blackout in July. Smelled to HIGH HEAVEN. Ugh.
Ashley says
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!
Amanda B. says
Get Me Steamy! My biggest mess- my cousins came back from the creek behind our house covered in mud and with a new turtle friend…
heather p says
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!

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

Allison says
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.
Sarah @ The Ugly Duckling House says
Get me steamy!
Poo. The biggest messes always involve poo.
Kristen @ Popcorn on the Stove says
Get Me Steamy!
Our biggest mess was actually in our new apartment. When we wiped the windows, the rags were black and there was old food/dried oils on the shelves in the kitchen. The oven even had dog hair in it!
Liesal says
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. 🙂
Karla Matthews says
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.
Katie says
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!
Mckenzie says
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!
Amber H says
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!
Kate H. says
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.
Alexa F. says
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.
Nancy says
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!
Megan says

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

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…:)
Melissa says
”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!!!
Lauren says
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.
Liz says
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…
Katy says
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. 🙂

Beth says

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.
Julia says
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 🙂

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!
Amanda T. says
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!!!
Maria says
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.
Nancy says
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.
Tessah says
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…
Brenda says
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!
Sarah Johnson says
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.
Jennifer says
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!
Britney says
Get Me Steamy! I’ve never had a steam mop before so I would love to try one of these out 🙂
Kim J says
Get me steamy! Ugh, dog tipping over the trash can.
Sayward says

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.
Zhaleh says
Get Me Steamy! Let’s just say that it is a bad idea to run over roadkill.
Annika says

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!
Erin L says
Get me steamy!
A flooded basement with black muck coming through the cracked foundation. Not my own house, thank goodness, but still very gross.
Natalie W says
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.
Meredith says
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 🙂
Amanda @ willful/joyful says
Get Me Steamy! Cleaning up after my drunk sleep-walking sister. Vomit and pee in the most unfortunate parts of my apartment. I get nauseous just thinking about it again.
Holly says

I shouldn’t say.. but it involved a roomba, and a dog who was scared sh**less of it… ew
Tabitha says
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!
Hazel says
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!
Stef says
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!
Sara says

biggest mess tackled = cleaning up the kitchen floor after sanding the kitchen cabinets. Saw. Dust. Everywhere.
Cindy says
Get Me Steamy!
When the kids were little and everything from the highchair ALWAYS ended up on the floor!
Rachel says
“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.
Regina says
“Get me steamy” We spill things everyday. Enough said, huh?! 🙂
Jamie says
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 🙂
Amy Spencer says
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!!!!!!

Lisa says

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!
Denise says

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.
Jenna says
“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!
Lindsay says

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. 🙂
Kate Ediger says
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!!
Katie says
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.
Margaret H says
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.
Caice says
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.
Tara says
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!!
Lisa R. says
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. 🙂
MJ says
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!
Sara C. says
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!

The biggest mess I recently had to clean up was my 3 month old nephew’s diaper. HORRIBLE!
Tara Jenkins says
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!!!!
Sharin @ Modern~Farm Baby says
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…
Yocheved says
Get me steamy! Messes are a daily occurence with my 2 yr old….sigh….

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.

Karen says

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!!!
Savanna says
Get me steamy!
A potty training toddler… do I need to say more?
Cordia says
“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. 😛
daniela says

the worst was tackling the patio on the first day we moved to our new house… the previous owners left a bunch of stuff!
Shaley @ Green Eggs and Hamlet says
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!

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.
Alyssa says
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:(

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!

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.)

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

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…

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!

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.

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

Sarah K says
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.
Jules says
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!

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!

The biggest mess I had to clean was an apartment I moved into when I was still in college.

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!

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!

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!

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!
Leah says

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.
Amber Smith says
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.
AmiDawn says

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

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!
Cathey says

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!

Get Me Steamy! Awesome giveaway. Sometimes I think that cleaning the mop bucket and mop after actually moping is the worst part. Gross!
Intisar says
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.
Heidi says
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. 🙁
Erin says

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!

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

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!
Olivia says
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!
Emily S says

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! 🙂

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

Carrie says
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!
Cara S says
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.
Jackie says
GET ME STEAMY! biggest messes almost always involves the dogs.

Sarah J says
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…
Erica says
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.
Megan says

Cleaning our new house before renovations began was the biggest mess I ever tackled. Thirty years of dirt from the previous owner was DISGUSTING!
Katherine says
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!
Sarah says
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!
Kim Dempsey says
GET ME STEAMY!!!! The biggest mess I think I have cleaned is apple juice on the kitchen floor!
Faith says

Fought bed bugs–for THREE MONTHS–and won. Still makes my skin crawl sometimes
Jamie says
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!
Keeley says
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.
Genie says
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]
Tina says

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.

Get me steamy….to help clean up a whole lot of smashed-up, mushed-up play doh.

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!
Bethany says
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. 🙂
Delia says
Get Me Steamy!
Spilled milk is the worst. It gets everywhere!

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!
Meredith says

My house was disgusting when we first bought it and moved in. It took weeks to get it clean enough to live in.
Aya M says
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!
grace says
Get me steamy.
Biggest mess – cleaning a room after a major renovation! The DUST!!
Beth Anne says
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!
Taylor Woods says

Jennifer says

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!!
Betsy says
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.

Worst clean up: the garage. It was so nasty and filled with gross bugs 🙂
Preeti says
Get me steamy! Pet waste/vomit is always the worst to clean up!!!!
Sarah F. says
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….)
Abby says
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.
Suzanne says
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!!
Lauren says
Get me steamy! Biggest mess was my bathroom re-do. Ripping down wallpaper…adhered directly to drywall with no prepping. Ugh!
Tiffany says
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!
Emily says
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!
Andy says
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!
Christine says
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!
Celia says
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.

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!

Rachel says

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.
RockGal says

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!
AmyB says
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.

The biggest mess was cleaning up after puchasing a fire damaged “as is” home. Took weeks to clean.
lauren says
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!
Kelley says
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!
Allison says
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.
Jen N. says

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!
Stephanie says
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? 🙂

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!

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. 🙂

Kristin Cronkright says

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! 🙂
Maura says
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.
Jill Howell says
“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!

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!

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.
Sheri says
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.
Jill Howell says

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.

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.
Colleen says

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.

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. 🙂
Rachel says

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 🙂
Angie says
“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.
Molly says

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!
Leslie says

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 🙂

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 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.
Gabby says
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.
Kate says

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

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!

well my whole kitchen sink backed up once leaving a layer of grime over everything that was in the sink, the sink itself, and the kitchen floor. did it about 5 times. took a few days to get everything clean. yuck!
Chelsea says

The nastiest doggone mess I have ever cleaned was from, well, our dogs. We decided they were mature enough to stay in the house alone while we went over to our friends’ house for dinner. (They were 1 year old at the time.) WE. WERE. WRONG! They escaped from the kitchen and decided to wolf down some cat litter, which then triggered an epic vom/diarrhea spree. It was terrible to clean up, and I lost count of the piles after about 20. Meanwhile, I had no help from my husband, who is sensitive to smells and had to wait outside until the majority of it was cleaned up.
The steam mop sure would help with said Pups’ paw prints and drool! The majority of our first floor is hardwood, and let me tell you, it is their mission to see how many paw prints they can fit in each and every square foot of it.

The biggest mess….my best friend and I opened a bottle of wine after having a little too much to drink and ended up spilling most of it on the floor. Of course I didn’t clean it up and went to bed – the next morning the entire downstairs was sticky because the cat walked through the spill and tracked wine everywhere!
Donna says

Dog hair is our biggest mess!
Amy says
Get Me Steamy!
The biggest mess I ever cleaned off the floor was the 20-year-old, matted-down, goopy carpet padding when we bought our first house. The previous owners had installed pink carpet over the beautiful hardwood floors on the first floor. When we ripped it up, the padding beneath it had permanently adheared itself like glue to the hardwoods below it. We had to use harsh acetone – the ONLY thing that got that stuff off – over the entire floor.
We’ve refinished the floors now and they look great so the black n decker steam mop would be wonderful to have to keep them looking great 🙂

One of my biggest, and most memorable, messes was not long after I got my new blender. I had just made a smoothie or something, and after not reading directions, I thought it was best to detach the pitcher from the blades. As you may have guessed, all of that smoothie ended up on the countertop, front of the lower cabinets, and the floor. I guess that’s what happens when you’ve never had a blender before.
Shawna says

Cat puke and kid poop (dug out of the diaper during nap and smeared everywhere) are the bane of my existence. At least the steam mop can help with the cat puke–for the few times when they venture off the carpet to do their thing!

Get me steamy! (I tried to post before but got an error, so if this entry comes up twice, I’m not cheating!!) Worst mess ever: my two kittens knocked a full bottle of garlic teriyaki sauce off the pantry counter and it shattered all over the floor and them. The floor was peel and stick tile and it SEEPED UNDER THE TILE. So gross. The kittens were drenched and scared and running everywhere in the apartment. I’m guessing there is STILL sauce in that place. The smell. OMG THE SMELL.

Get me steamy!! Sooo here’s my mess of a story…I went grocery shopping and picked up a huge bottle of extra virgin olive oil. I put it nicely away in one of our cabinets and woke up the next morning, groggily walked into the kitchen and slipped on a huge slick puddle of oil. Somehow the jar had cracked and all of the oil seeped out into the cabinets and down to the floor. Have you ever tried to clean up olive oil? It’s a disaster!
Whitney says

Haha, I hate to think of this…but the biggest mess I’ve ever had to deal with was when my poor little pup got…explosively sick over night. Luckily, she was in a crate…but it was still quite the job.

Not sure if it counts as a mess but its the worst cleaning I’ve had to do. The day before we closed on our house we did a walk through to ensure the condition of the home was still good, standard real estate stuff. When we showed up, our real estate agent was waiting in the doorway for us and greeted us by telling us not to worry she had already called a plumber. Apparently, the sump pump discharge pipe had frozen (Dec 22, Boston) and had been spraying water at the back door to the house for an unknown amount of time since the house was unoccupied. The water had been seeping into the house and running into our soon-to-be family room. No major damage except for the the disgusting carpeting. We received a credit for the damage at closing, fixed the discharge pipe and pulled up the section of carpet that was damaged. We figured we’d worry about the rest later. Fast forward 3 months to March when torrential rains soaked the Northeast, something like 20 inches of rain on our still snow covered state. Sump pump motor burns out while we’re at work, rain water at least 2 inches over the remainder of the family room carpet . I spent hours running around store trying to find a wet vac to suck up the water, then two days using it on the rug which when wet smelled unmistakeably like cat urine. Once most of the water was gone we got to rip up the rest of the rug and then clean the concrete floors underneath to kill mold. Awful mess and the end result wasn’t even a clean, pretty room!

Biggest mess? Well, this is awesome-ly gross, but cleaning up both of my son’s vomit! Yup, my 4 year-old had a bit of a tummy-ache and let loose on the leaving room carpet. On the way to the bathroom via Dad, he proceeded to vomit in the hallway (walls & floor) and again in the bathroom…missing the toilet, I might add. Next, my 2 year-old watched as I began to clean the mess on the living room carpet. He asked why his brother got sick and proceeded to add to my mess. Yup, our very own Barfarama! GROSS!!!

I’ve cleaned up some nasty messes in my time (e.g., I lived with 5 male rugby players one summer in college — enough said), but the absolute worst was when the storage freezer in the basement didn’t get closed tightly right before we left for a loooong trip. The motor burned out and everything inside turned into a rotted, putrid, moldy mess…it was AWFUL.
P.S. I’m with you, Katie — I absolutely *despise* cleaning. 😉

Emily D says
Get me steamy!! My biggest mess was cleaning our kitchen floors when we moved into our new (to us) house. The people who lived there before didn’t clean, so the floors were sticky. Then the lovely yellow pine pollen got tracked it. Let’s just say it took a lot of simple green and several scrub brushes to make those floors look somewhat normal again. Would LOVE to be able to steam them clean now! 🙂
Kate says
get me steamy! 🙂 i’m glad to read that you don’t love cleaning- I usually feel bad because I let my house get messy and then clean it like a crazy woman when I really have to. I have to say the whole house is a big mess- we moved in a few months ago, ripped up all the carpets, threw paint samples on the walls, dug up all the old landscaping…and haven’t quite finished any of these projects. ha

Just last night I had to clean up a huge mess…..Porter (my 8month old) and our Schnoodle Snickers decided to have a food fight, aka Porter decided to feed Snickers both his baby food, milk and treats.

Since I’m due with my first kiddo in February, I’m sure my biggest mess is still in the future, but to date it’s probably the time my husband fed our new dog 3 chicken livers. We woke up the next morning to find her, her crate, and the entire kitchen floor covered with foamy dog vomit and poo. It was a nightmare. I didn’t know he’d fed her THREE of them–she’s a little dog, and one would have been plenty!! He sure learned his lesson though…
Stephanie says

The biggest mess would probably be during our home renovation. The woman we bought it from had carpeted every room – including the bathrooms! And she had cats that didn’t seem to know where their litter box was…let’s just say it took a few months to get rid of the stench.

This isn’t exactly the biggest mess – but took months to clean. I was driving home from the store in the dead heat of summer and turned the corner – gallon of milk rolled and busted in the back seat. Took months to finally get the smell out – HORRIBLE!

Get Me Steamy! My husband makes wine, and he must have put too much yeast while making cherry wine a few years agao. We woke up in the morning and the wine and bursted out of the top of the jug…we had cherry peices all over our white kitchen…including the ceiling fan!

I used to live in an apartment built in 1930 and let me tell you, the entire place was a chore to clean.

Alas, I moved into a brand new apartment and am enjoying clean surfaces everyday!

We had a big barbecue a few years ago and had so many ribs going that we had to use the oven for the majority of them. The pans ended up bubbling over a nice Memphis style BBQ sauce all over the oven, out the edges of the oven, all over the kitchen floor and under the fridge. Gross.

GET ME STEAMY! The biggest mess I’ve ever had to tackle is my new house in Pittsburgh.

My sweet husband painted my fridge with that appliance spray paint….INSIDE. And, EVERYTHING in my house had a fine dusting of black paint all over the place! It came up, but we had to clean the surface of everything in our house. It literally fell in every room of our tiny little house. It was worth it, though. We have a beautifully painted black fridge instead of our old, faded cream one! 🙂

After a couple weeks of starting every morning with a protein shake and some exercise I was so proud of myself…I had actually stuck to a plan. Then one particularly groggy morning, while checking my email on my laptop, I got the powder ready in the cup, added the skim milk and began to shake. The only problem was, I forgot to put on the lid! What a mess! All over myself, the floor and, of course, the laptop. Needless to say, I wasn’t groggy after that…but I was pretty close to tears. I saved the harddrive, but I fried my poor laptop. Too bad a steam mop wouldn’t clean up a computer!
Charise says

The previous owners in our new house had 6 cats and 3 dogs. Pulling out the old appliances to prep for the new ones was NASTY, especially for an allergy-ridden girl like me. Think clumps of cat hair mixed with the greasiness running down the side of the stove. Blleeeccch.
I have been eyeing a steam mop – it would do wonders for getting the remaining cat hair/slight pee smell hiding in the corners of our laminate floors.

Biggest mess would have to be a tie – grossest award goes to the balcony where a family of pigeons built a nest and crapped all over the balcony floor somehow without us noticing for a few months. The most irritating award for big mess goes to last weekend when my darling boyfriend “helped” me make blended margaritas but accidently left a metal spoon in the blender which busted the glass and sentsticky margarita-ness all over the kitchen (and wasted the last of our tequila.)

We’re currently in the midst of tackling a basement closet cleaup. The “closet” is more like a small laundry room. We pulled everything out and put it into categories. Let’s just say we look like hoarders, with the amount of STUFF in there…can’t WAIT for this one to be over.

The worst mess I have had to clean up was a dingy apartment in Idaho. There wasn’t much to choose from, so I had to have this one. The kitchen floor still had food stains one it and a layer of grime. By the time I was done with it the floor was actually another color, soooooo gross.

There are thousands. One of the least favorite stages is battling children who want to be independent but haven’t mastered their skills…then they throw whatever is frustrating them, like yogurt and it goes flying.

Our dog tracks in pine needles every time she goes outside. Also she sheds like the bejeezus. It forms little white dog-fur tumbleweeds that float across our hardwoods and tile kitchen. I guess it’s not a big-at-one-time mess, but it’s definitely a continual pain-in-the-butt mess.

With 2 little boys (6 and 4 years old), when am I NOT cleaning up a mess? I’m serious. 🙂
The worst messes to clean up were the times (yes, multiple times) my boys have broken a window. Mostly because of the extra stress of worrying about little feet and paws while cleaning up itty-bitty shards of glass. Plus, it is so time consuming!
Another time they poured/dumped out all of my lotions, soaps, shaving cream and whatnot and that was a HUGE mess to clean up b/c it just kept growing and growing from all the suds.

When I was mixing up marshmallow frosting…it didn’t occur to me that putting my hand mixer into melted marshmallows + powdered sugar was a bad idea.

Biggest mess- toilet overflowing into the hallway, thanks to kids! Gross!
Jes says
Get Me Steamy!!! 😉 Biggest mess ever – They were working on a new sewer line in our area and broke the old one and decided they did not want to fix it, so this allowed rain water to leak into a sewer system not designed to handle rain water + sewer water. One day when we got 4 inches of rain in a VERY short amount of time, we had water coming up into our basement sink, No biggie, they just added another pump. Then the pump house lost power and we woke up at 5AM to 4 inches of water in our 100 square foot basement. All cleaned up ourselves (nothing major was ruined so an insurance claim would have cost us more than to just clean it our selves.) That was the biggest mess I ever tackled. (I used a lot of bleach that day too). Sorry for the paragraph!

My brother is almost 9 years younger than me, and when I was babysitting him he managed to find a package of blue RIT dye. And decided to eat it. Then drool it all over the house. May I say that bleach is not recommended for removing stains from the skin of an 18-month old? But it was the only thing that worked. Mom was none too happy….

While in college and in between places, I crashed at my friends’ apartment. Theirs was the epitome of bachelor pad yuck. As a thank you for letting me spend a couple of weeks on the couch, I cleaned their place. Two boys + college behavior = disgusting. There was a bag of black goop in the fridge that had at one time been salad, the bottom of the tub was almost black with soap scum and dirt — I’ll spare you the rest of the details. Let’s just say that even ten years later, the memories still make me shudder.

We just put in brand new laminate floors, when a month later we had the electrician come to our house to do some electrical work. The dust from the plaster was everywhere! I had to sweep and then mop, and then sweep and mop, and do it one more time, before the plaster dust even began to come up (it left this weird film on the floor). Finally, I ended up using a cloth with finger nail polish remover on it, across my whole floor, to get that film off. It was very time consuming, but I finally got it clean.

Before I met my husband and we bought our house, I lived in a first floor apartment that flooded when sewage flowed through the bathtub from all of the upper apartments. I came home from waiting tables late at night to discover this. Luckily, I didn’t own too much at the time and there wasn’t a lot of stuff of the floor to be damaged.

My foreclosed home that we bought back in 2009 was a mess to clean up (literally months and we are still attacking it!) but probably the most heavy duty clean was when the 3 other boys that were living with my husband before we got married moved out a month before our wedding. 1 year of men living in our house/bachelor pad was UGLY. My mom and my mother in law came over to help.. we had to tackle EVERYTHING! The tubs, the hardwoods that NEVER got wiped down, behind the fridge and to top it all off… re-paint a wall after my brother in laws “party” he had at my house when my husband was out of town. Someone had spackled my perfectly fine wall just for fun!

A while back, my family took a vacaton without me. I decided it would be really awesome to perk up my grandma’s bathroom by removing the horrid wallpaper and paint it. My first time doing that… I created a huge mess and had to clean it all by myself – in 2 days. Fun!!

I use to work for a wine distribution company. When restocking shelves, we put all the wine in a grocery cart while we clean off the shelves. There were 14 one-gallon jugs of Carlo Rossi wine in a cart when the bottom fell through. It took 4 hours to clean up the river of wine we created in the grocery store. Not fun.

Get me steamy!! The grossest mess I’ve had to clean up would definitely be yellow liquid baby poop – all over me, the baby, the changing table, the floor, etc when she decided to poo right after I took her old diaper off and before I put the new one on! We are getting hardwood floors in our house this weekend so I would LOVE this mop!

Biggest mess: To make a long story short -I came home from work one day, let my 5 month old puppy outside to pee, and she darted under out deck and wouldnt come out. I noticed she was eating something, so I panicked and crawled under their to get her (in my work clothes) only to realize she was feasting on cat poop. The 2 of us, covered in mud, went back inside to clean up but the little poop-eater wiggled out of my arms and started running around the house, shaking mud everywhere. To make things worse she started BARFING. Yes, regurgitating cat poop all over my house. I cried the entire time I cleaned up that mess, and then hysterically laugh/cried when my boyfriend came home to find me sobbing on the floor.

I was making a Weight Watchers breakfast shake added in a little milk, ice & pudding powder (so it wouldn’t taste like vitamins) and hit the button & you guessed it vitaminey milkey puddingy mess ALL over. All over me, my cabinets, my floor, my counter, and I was getting ready to leave for work, so I quickly changed my clothes & wiped down the counters. But it doesn’t end there. Once I got home I found several other places it landed and when this stuff dried it was like concrete!

When my husband and I were young and dating, I was visiting his parents house for the weekend. Being the thoughtful houseguest, I brought some cans of soda in from the hot garage to fill the fridge.

I am the momma of two sweet little girls and wife to one weak-stomached man! This means I change all of the dirty diapers in our house- without complaint (you’ll know why after this story…). One day, I left to go grocery shopping when our eldest (who is now 3 1/2) was only about 6 months old. I returned to a screaming baby, a bathroom covered in baby poop, and a husband who had gotten “sick” while changing her diaper and eventually just put her in the bathtub. I, of course, had to clean the whole mess to prevent a BIGGER mess. TMI? Well, you asked for the biggest mess I’d ever had to clean…! 🙂

The biggest mess I had to clean up was DIS-gusting! My puppy was only a month or so old and he had a habit of cleaning up after himself…by eating his…you know. And he decided that he wanted to throw up the “you know” on our carpet. That was horrendous and we ran out and rented a steam cleaner.
Hope nobody recently ate a chocolate bar 🙂

Worst mess; in the new house (not moved in yet) putting up new drywall while simultaneously doing laundry in the old washer left behind by previous owners. No one told us not to do more than a small load which resulting in a overflowed washer that we didn’t notice for hours. Gross was the only way to describe what seeped out from under the machines…

Worst mess ever was discovered as I was moving out of my 2nd apartment. One of the neighbor’s vehicles had caught on fire that fall and left a large ash pile in the front yard (don’t ask why it wasn’t cleaned). We tracked it into the house all winter long, but didn’t notice the effect it had on the carpets because we had area rugs down. It was blaringly obvious when we pulled the rugs. 8 hours of steaming later…

The worst mess I ever had to clean up was rotten potatoes upon returning to my college apartment after summer break. I learned a few things: one of my college roommates tended to forget about food, potatoes should not be stored in plastic bags in old metal kitchen drawers, potatoes LIQUEFY when left in said drawer for what must have been months, and the scent of rotten liquefied potatoes is–to this day after three children–the worst smell I have ever smelled. These are all things I didn’t really want to learn . . . I wonder if that’s why I only buy potatoes as needed?

biggest mess would have to be baby poo out of the stroller, those things have lots of nooks and crannies.
Shanna says
Get Me Steamy! Biggest mess I ever tackled, our current house. The people we bought from didn’t clean for the 7 years they lived there. 5 years later I am STILL cleaning up their dirt. I think I may have finally gotten the ugly pink cafeteria type asbestos ladden tiles in the kitchen clean but the gaps between the pine floor boards in the living and dining room still offer up “treasures” on occassion. 😉
Love the thought of owning one of these and love your blog and family. Will and my Marjorie should meet sometime, you know, if you are ever in Wisconsin. 😉 She is an older woman, not sure how he feels about that.

When I was 12 or so, my best friend and I decided to melt crayons and white wax inside soda cans with the tops cut off to make candles. We didn’t know the art of a double boil and put the soda can directly on the stove top. The can EXPLODED, resulting in red wax ALL OVER her parent’s kitchen. We were cleaning on our hands and knees for hours.
Katie G says
Get Me Steamy!
Oh, I have had my eye on this for a while. A friend told me about it back in June and I admit I scoffed, but I’ve seen it in action since then and it’s awesome.
Biggest mess is my stupid stove. Because I hate cleaning the gas stove, and so I don’t do it and then it takes FOREVER. Total self-inflicted torture.
Cindy says
Get Me Steamy – My office… although it’s still not cleaned. I’m disgusting. xo

Backup septic tank into my basement…. beyond description…. disgusting!

I decided to open up a bean bag to see what it looked like inside and it spilled all over the floor. Those suckers get all over the place and the static doesn’t help either!
Beth says

Biggest mess was when we moved into our current apartment. It was disgusting. We scrubbed everything except the ceiling (not joking)…
Andrea says
Get Me Steamy!
My landlord was on her way over when I got home from a long day of work and was greeted by my golden retriever who had had a HUGE accident in our bedroom! Pardon the graphic nature of my description- but she had basically sprayed poop everywhere! I had to frantically clean up before my landlord got there followed by a bath (with rubber cloves) for my dog after she left. It was a nightmare. Mops are a pet owners best friend!
Megan says
Get Me Steamy!
Once when I was much younger, I decided to make candles from old crayons by melting down the wax. About halfway through I decided it wasn’t a good idea – it was probably taking too long and I wanted to go play – so I dumped the wax down the sink. Yeah, not a good idea. It took forever to scrape it out of the u-bend in the pipe.
Surprisingly, that wasn’t the mess that made my mom the angriest – which was when I decided to make my own gak from borax.
Kelley says

New apartment with not-new floors.

Get Me Steamy…when we brought my daughter home from the hospital our cat got a bit jealous and decided to pee and poop everywhere in the basement! so not only were we changing breast milk poo diapers we had to scrub down the entire basement! it wasn’t fun.

One of the worst messes I ever had was when the dog got sick in the kitchen one night. It was not a pretty sight to walk into at 3am…A B&D steamer mop was exactly what we could have used to ensure the floor was truely clean again!
Megan Johnson says
Get me steamy!
I am three months pregnant with our third child and dared to take a 20 minute nap a few weeks ago. My three and a half year old used that time to get all of the paints out of the craft cabinet and paint my entire kitchen with his adorable hands. I woke up and decided to leave it until the next day. I was way too tired to deal with it then.
Sara says

I clean my grout lines with a toothbrush. It’s horrible. I need a steam mop pronto!
Sarah says
GET ME STEAMY!
I tackle a huge mess every week when I clean the bathrooms. The steam mop would be especially helpful when floors in there.
Andrea says
Get me steamy! The biggest mess we have made was when my husband tried to throw an apple out the sliding door into the canyon that we lived on. Instead the apple hit the door jamb and exploded all over our living and dining room. I was still finding apple when we packed up and moved over a year later!
Tracy says

The sink backed up, so I had to bail out nasty water. Then it only got worse…gobs of slimy macaroni had gotten stuck in the sink drain. I had to open the pipe and all the grossness came pouring out.

I would have to admit that my floors are caked with food at this very moment… the very sad part… we have no kids yet. It’s just me and the hubs… spilling food on the floor 🙂

I have 2 big (hairy) dogs and hardwood floors. If it isn’t the hair everywhere, it’s the paw prints with whatever they decided to walk in. Add a basement reno to the mix and it’s not pretty!
Jana H. says
Get Me Steamy!
The apartment I lived in for a year, when I first moved in, my mother and I had to spend an entire day cleaning it because the previous tenant had left it a MESS and the landlord hadn’t bothered to clean it. I spent 3 hours just on the tub! It was supposed to be a white tub/shower surround. Before I cleaned it, it was dark brown. *shudders*
Pauline says
My puppy had worms once. If anyone has ever had a dog with worms, they know the MESS that comes from worms + poop. Yeah, I had to clean that up. Now, can I have a steam mop?
Amy says
Get me steamy! I found out my cats were using the crawl space as a litter box ( I hadn’t gone in there in months, and didn’t find out until one particularly rainy day when the smell of it had permeated the house). ugh!

The worst mess I ever had to clean up was when I was working at a youth hostel in Australia… I had the lucky job of cleaning the bathrooms after a full moon party!!! Thank goodness they were open to the outside and I could use a garden hose to get started… gross.
Keren says
GET ME STEAMY! The worst clean up was when our little dog got scared of the vacuum and expressed his anal glands all over the freshly painted baby’s room! Talk about a gross clean up job!

I used to be a dog walker. I’ve cleaned up many disgusting messes. One family in particular refused to limit the dog’s access to items he could destroy and ingest. There was a some type of body-fluid mess from the dog waiting for me just about every day I visited him. Don’t really care to recall any further details on that. Sweet dog though!
Jaimee says

Recently we had friends over and a friend popped his head out of the door and asked where my mop was. Turns out he had forgotten to put the top on the blender when he was making margaritas… on my slate kitchen floor…
Isaac says
Get Me Steamy. Our flooded basement was a huge mess.
Linda says
Get Me Steamy!
Hands down, the messiest thing I ever had to tackle was after the flood in my ground floor apartment. I had to disinfect the floors, and walls and wash everything. It took a while but it was a great way to force a super duty clean though.
Jane says

Brittany says

The nastiest mess I ever cleaned would have to be when I cleaned a frat house’s bathroom before my boyfriend moved in. I didn’t want him using that nasty bathroom. It was really disgusting. I don’t think it had ever been cleaned. Yuck. I get heebee-geebeez thinking about it!
I ended up marrying him so it was totally worth it! Especially since he does most of the cleaning now! 😀

The worst stains on our hardwoods are from drips of milk from sippy cups. If that stuff dries, it’s a beast to get off without leaving a mark.

I just saw one of these at my sister-in-law’s house! We are installing hardwood floors next month and I am already wondering how I am going to keep them clean!
My biggest mess story is a jug of honey that split open in the cabinet. A floor cleaner wouldn’t have helped in that situation, but it sure was a mess!

My 100lb pup has a very sensitive stomach, and yet he will eat pretty much anything he can get his paws on (except jalapenos…go figure). We come home a little too often to accidents that stink up the whole house, which my husband lovingly allows me to clean.

I would love this! Get my steamy by cleaning my kitchen floor. Until we have enough cash to replace our kitchen floor, I’m stuck cleaning this yellow/orange/brown floor from 40 years ago. It’s nasty nasty. I also have 3 kids. They make messes. A lot. 🙂
Ashley says

I recently just tackled behind the appliances in my fiances home! This would have came in real handy! Ohh man bachelor for five years you can image the yuckys behind them! I actually thought when I first pulled the fridge out that there was a dead animal back there! Haha but now its officially my kind of clean!
Divina says
Get Me Steamy! I was 38.5 weeks pregnant when I cleaned the whole first floor of our house as we had just put everything away (in the basement) after moving in a few weeks earlier. My water broke the next day – all I could think of was I didn’t have time to clean the 2nd floor.

I don’t think I can pin down the worst mess ever, but I’m sure it involved bodily fluids, and came from either a kid or a pet.
Holly says

I have a 9 month old and a dog so there are always big messes on my floor!
Jennifer Sawyer says
GET ME STEAMY! The hardest mess I had to clean up was when my refridgerator and floor flooded when my husband and I changed the water filter. The directions never specified that we were supposed to turn off the water connection! Of course, we probably should have used some sort of brain cells to realize that this was an obvious task.
Jenny says
get me STEAMY!
oh goodness, so many messes to choose from…
the most difficult though had to be when we bought our current home out of foreclosure (read: LOTS of cleaning to do!) and we dismantled the corner lazy susan cabinet in the kitchen to clean and fix it. I spent FOREVER cleaning out what looked like black poo from the back corner, but i’m pretty positive it was an entire box of spilled brownie mix that had somehow also gotten wet…impossible!

When my husband and I bought our first house we painted every square inch of it. However, the very first can of paint we opened got knocked over onto the BRAND NEW carpet. Luckily, paint is water soluble so we were able to get the carpet looking like new again with a bucket of water and a shop vac. Good times.
Pamela S says

A good friend of mine and my husbands was having what would eventually be his wife over to his house for the first time and had no idea how to start cleaning up for her to see his small 2 bedroom home. She was from out of state and he was flying her in for the first time and didn’t want a huge mess awaiting her. We decided he needed help at least getting the clutter picked up. I think we decided to stop around 1 a.m. after giving that place a full on ultra cleaning. I was in charge of the kitchen and left it ‘acceptable’ to my standards but boy was I exhausted!
Amanda says
Get me steamy! I have a feeling my biggest mess is yet to come… I moved in with three twenty-something guys this week (I’m a twenty-something girl), so I think I’ll need this!

GET ME STEAMY!!! Oh please, oh please!!! This thing would be my dreamy mcsteamy! Hmm grossest cleaning moment had to be cleaning off the diarrhea my two-year-old let drip down his leg onto the brand new bathroom rug (in 6 different places) from land of nod. It’s out, clean, and looking fresh after water, soap, scrubbing, water, baking soda and finally, hosing it down outside.

All I have to say is that my dog ate an entire tub of cashews….they did not sit well. That was not fun to clean.
Susan says
Get me steamy! I despise cleaning… I despise getting gas the most, but second in line is cleaning! Vacuuming isn’t bad, but mopping, dusting, wiping things – hate it! We were having people over last summer and bought two large jars of salsa (yum!). I was uploading the groceries, put both jars in the door shelf and BAM! CRASH! Salsa everywhere… It was horrible and made me so incredibly sad to have to 1) clean that mess and 2) No salsa with chips that day 🙁
Leslie says

The craziest mess?
My husband and I had taken our two older kiddos (toddlers back then) to a restaurant for dinner. At one point, my son vomited all over my husband. We had no diaper bag with us. Moments later, my daughter threw up all over the table……fun times!
kimberly says
GET ME STEAMY!
The biggest, grossest clean-up: Our son was the spit-up king. King of all the babies. 😉 When he was 18 months old we rearranged the furniture. The wood floor next to our bed (where I nursed/burped him) needed serious elbow grease to remove all that dried spit-up. It still makes me cringe.
Andrea says

J says
GET ME STEAMY! My apartment is SO small right now that there is no room for a vacuum. Which means every time I have to clean the floor I end up on all fours, wiping the floor with rags and paper towels. It’s a huge project.

I’ve lived in 1-bedroom apartments since I moved out of my parent’s house at 17, so I guess the biggest messes can’t even qualify as being that big, but old apartments with old vinyl kitchen flooring can be a pain to clean!

In college, the housemates and I all went away for a few weeks for summer break. I came home first…to a freezer that had been broken for who knows how long. The melted, rotten, stinky mess was bad enough, but it took weeks with the windows open and the fans going to get the smell of death out of the apartment.

Get me steamy! The biggest mess I’ve had to clean is when I recently got food poisoning. All night long my stomach ached and then, in the middle of the night, let’s just say (tmi alert) I didn’t make it to the bathroom toilet. Nothing worse than standing in the middle of the bathroom covered in your own barf; not to mention the guilt you feel when you realize some of it coated several of your baby’s prized toys. Not only did I have to clean up the entire bathroom, but the carpeting in our bedroom as well trying to salvage the toys (because at 3am you think that’s possible but really, ew gross, I just got my son new ones)!
Amber says
Get me steamy…
I have a fourteen-month old who likes to throw her food on the floor and a dog that is picky and will only eat certain foods thrown by said toddler. Thus, every mealtime results in a messy. Particularly difficult…mushy banana. Especially if you miss some and it sits there for a few days. Yeah…it could be a workable substitue for super glue.

You know you’re not doing so well when the painter doing your bathrooms lets you know his sister has a house cleaning business and would be more than happy for extra work. Yep…that happened to me last week!
I’ve just never been good at windows, under things, baseboards…stuff like that.
The worst mess I’ve encountered? Probably cleaning out 5 years of accumulated crap/dust/hair when I moved out of my apartment and in with my husband last fall.

Ashley says

The worst mess I came home to was right after we’d adopted our third dog. We hadn’t realized he needed to be gated out of the kitchen during the day…so we came home and saw that he’d pulled 18 bananas off the kitchen counter and eaten most of them on the couch, then pulled a container of powdered gravy mix out of the cabinet and emptied most of it on the couch, as well as half a bottle of canola oil and some Bisquick. What a mess!
One time he ate the entirity of one of those candle-in-a-jars, also. It was green…

Kate M says

The biggest mess I had to clean up was when I was in college and rented out an apartment in D.C. for a summer. We arrived at our temporary summer home to discover it was really gross and messy. We spent the better part of three days scrubbing floors, cleaning the bathroom, disinfecting the fridge and stove, etc. The hardwoods were sticky and the fridge had a slime inside. The girl we rented from had clearly never moved her couch to clean under/behind in the several years she’d lived there. When we returned home, we got an email from her thanking us because she’d never seen her apartment so clean.
Dawn S. says

The biggest mess I have ever tackled was definitely our house! When we bought our foreclosed home last December, Hubby and I spent about 24 hours scrubbing before we could even begin unloading our moving truck. Hubby had to take his pocket knife to all the quarter-round along the floors, all the crannies of the kitchen cabinets, and I found a mound of dried ketchup in a kitchen drawer. And don’t even get me started on the shower floor of the master bathroom that took months of regular *harsh don’t-breathe-too-close-to-it* chemicals to get to see the WHITE of the shower!
But now we’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for our makeover of the ENTIRE house, and we are LOVING it!

All in one day, I dropped a bottle of tequila on my kitchen floor…glass and alcohol everywhere, and knocked over a gallon of milk. The smell of tequila and milk is not a good combination. I really could have used a Black N Decker Steam Mop!

Cleaning out the storage area of our basement, that has spent eight years being a “catch all”
Thankfully it led to a very fortuitous garage sale 🙂
Courtney Rutledge says
Get Me Steamy. A diaper blowout in the baby swing. Gross! Oh, so could use this with 2 kids under 2!
Amy says
Get me steamy! The worst mess I’ve had to clean up was a kitchen full of dog vomit and wet coffee grounds. (The incidents were unrelated – just bad timing.)

Biggest mess has been sugar ants in my husbands car. Gross.

The biggest mess ever for me comes about twice a year — when the closet gets to the point that the door won’t close. Sadness.
Jackie V says
Get me steamy!! My husband was going too fast down our carpeted basement steps and slipped and his huge glass of grape juice went all over the carpet and walls. I was not happy! lol

We’re training the kiddo to eat on her own with a spoon, so you might imagine the messes. Yesterday? Yogurt. EVERYWHERE.

Anytime one of my babies, especially my son, gets the stomach bug. Eww. Gross. Eww.
Becky says

My biggest mess was probably trying to clean our original hardwood floors in our first house. Carpet had been on top of them for many decades and the carpet had not been taken care of. It was a pretty clear indicator of what I had waiting for me underneath!
Holly says
Get me STEAMY!!!!
My roommate’s dog had diarrhea all over the kitchen floor… Also, cleaning up the vomit of a friend who missed the toilet one late night in college.

Allie says

Biggest mess ever…coming home to a present from my poocher when he was a puppy…all over his crate. Cleaning every wire rung?? Not fun.
dinah says
Get Me Steamy!
Worst mess ever? When I saw my nephew poop out LITERALLY a stream of poop projectile while my mom was changing his diaper. Sadly it got on her and the carpet. Fortunately, I got out of the way. But I had to clean the carpet. 🙁

The biggest mess we have ever had to clean up is when my son somehow pulled a bottle of red wine off of the rack (when he was 18 months old) and broke it on the carpet in our dining room!

The entire basement of our house flooded!
deebo says
GET ME STEAMY. and my biggest mess, after leaving our trash can in the garage during a particularly rainy season, i had the great joy of having to clean up maggots living in and all around my trash can and a pile of dirty towels (wash and dryer are in the garage). needless to say, i threw away a lot of towels that day, and a trash can too. no way was i letting that filthy thing come back into my house. i have a pretty trash can now. one without maggots, thank you very much. :/

Biggest mess was when we moved into our first home. To the previous owners (clean from top to bottom) meant not clean or even vacuum anything. This little gem could’ve come in handy on my wood floors!

It was one of those already crazy busy days. My husband had left on a work trip and I was busy running around trying to finish up report cards for school….and that’s when the cat “exploded”. I guess I call it an “explosion” for the lack of being able to identify which end of the cat it came out of, but regardless of the end it was an absolute mess. A bright orange mess. An all over the carpet bright orange mess. I love that cat, but for the time it took me to clean up the mess, I didn’t want to see her little cat face anywhere around the house.
Laurie M. says

The toughest cleaning job I ever did was cleaning my entire townhouse after I purchased it. The previous owners left it looking disastrous.

The day we closed on our house (a month ago) my friends toddler came over and unknown to us, ran around the house with a leaky poopy diaper. Yuck. So glad we have all hardwoods and the furniture hadn’t arrived yet!

Biggest mess that I tried to tackle was when I spray painted my refrigerator black! I had never used spray paint before and while i had drop cloths covering everything, somehow the little spray paint bits got everywhere! So, lesson learned after using a floor stripper about 15 times….DO NOT SPRAY PAINT IN THE HOUSE! DUH!! Should have known better! Haha!!

We just bought a 1930’s twin that was last updated in the 197o’s. We found original hardwoods underneath the carpet and tiles and went to town demo-ing. We found that we had a restoration job on our hands that took an entire month!! Sanding was non-stop. The clean up was vicious…2 floors of restored hardwoods to clean up after!! Dust was e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e
We also tore out plaster in the dining room and living room….close second….

The biggest mess I’ve had to tackle was the pizza/cupcake mess that 4 toddlers made on my son’s 1st birthday! Hubs was deployed and I was on my own to clean up pizza sauce, chocolate cupcakes and blue frosting from the kitchen, living room and my son’s bedroom!

When we had our basement finished, we forgot to close off the storage area because they sanded the new dry wall. We had dust on everything! That was 2.5 years ago and I still find dry wall dust!
Heather says
Get Me Steamy! My Great Dane hates Fourth of July. Over the spring we moved to a condo downtown and something about the sound of the fireworks echoing through the buildings freaked her out more than normal. Needless to say she didn’t want to go outside and do her business. She woke me up at midnight and I let her out, but the late night crackers were still going! Sometime between midnight and 7 am (though I’m guessing closer to midnight), she decided she couldn’t wait and somehow managed to poop a circle around our couch. Thankfully we have hardwood floors. Not thankfully, the poo was a touch watery so it was well adhered by morning. Blech! Thankfully Hubster helped, but that still didn’t stop me from almost adding to the mess thanks to my not so great gag reflex. So the floors are clean now BUT I’m sure they’d be cleaner with this mop!
Lina says
GET ME STEAMY!!!
I work in child care so the worst would have to be the mess made by children who are projectile vomiting!
We are moving into a house with lots of hardwood floors soon, and with our first baby on the way it would be great to have this steam mop! I can be as ready as I could ever be for projectile vomiting by my own child! LOL!

Attempting to clean cabinets ruined by a flood in a rental (couldn’t replace) – we ended up just not being able to use them.
Christy says
Get Me Steamy! The biggest mess I ever tackled is probably a toss up between the time my son had diarrhea, and it ran out of his diaper onto our light colored carpet several times or cleaning up after our dog when trying to housebreak him. Neither was much fun to clean up after. This mop sounds awesome!
Lizz says
I’ve always wanted a steam mop! Just in time for my bday next week ; )

Get me steamy!! Biggest mess – every time we give our flat coated retriever, Clara, a bath! (think a black golden retriever) And no, I don’t have a fancy schmancy dog washing station in my garage, so the tub must get a good scrub down after each bath!! She’s worth every second though!
Maggie says
Get Me Steamy! I did a lot mission work during high school and college in rural east Tennessee. I moved an outhouse. ‘Nuff said.

Jeanne-Marie says
Get Me Steamy!
This may not be the biggest physical mess but caused serious emotional mess – I was cleaning our wood floors and moved the gigantic jade plant (that we’re “babysitting” while my mom is on vacation) off the floor and onto the table. I guess I ended up putting it too close to the table edge, because it pulled a humpty dumpty and came crashing down. Dirt spilled everywhere, broken plant limbs – oh it’s painful just thinking about it. Now I’m trying to nurse it back to health before my mom comes back for it. Hence the emotional mess 🙂
Danielle says
Get Me Steamy! Biggest mess I’ve ever cleaned was after moving when movers didn’t use drop cloths to protect our floors.

SJ says
Get Me Steamy! When my older brother moved out of my mom’s house, she told me I could have his room, because it was bigger… if I cleaned it out and painted it myself. It was so disgusting!!! Brothers are SO gross!
I moved out 2 months later. All of that work cleaning his room for nothing! Hey- At least she has a nice sewing room to use now!

Honestly my biggest mess to clean occurrs weekly when I do laundry. My husband works as a forester and I swear he come home every day withe the dirtiest jeans. Sometimes they are so coated and thick with mud they can stand up by themselves!

I teach public school band, so I feel like my job every day qualifies as a gigantic mess. I mean, I deal with kid’s bodily fluids going through brass tubing and remaining stagnant/growing mold in clarinet mouthpieces from lack of swabbing. Okay I’ll stop grossing you out now.

The biggest mess I ever tackled…was cleaning out the toy room last year right before Christmas…you know…cause what better time to reorganize an entire 2 kid playroom than 18 hours before you feel 24 people in your home 😉
Laura Cole says

The biggest mess I’ve every had to clean up was at 4:00 am with a newborn who thought it would be fun to poop while I was changing her. It was all over my hand, the walls, and carpet. Not fun to clean up, especially in the middle of the night!
Jaysa says
Get me steamy! The daily messes with a dog and 18 month old boy are bad enough… But the biggest mess was when my husband accidentally dumped an entire pan of Italian beef and gravy all over the kitchen floor…during a party for 50+ people.

The biggest mess I have cleaned up is when the blender ran with no lid….. Then when picking up the blender by the handle, the bottom of the base came off. Yup I was cleaning sticky smoothie off surfaces for weeks.
Randi says
I like anything that GET(s) ME STEAMY. I want one of these in the worst way. It’s truly hard for me to come up with my worst mess every because I have five kids and I used to have two dogs including one bulldog that drooled and slimed everything in sight. My worst mess might have been when my daughter broke a pen (on her carpet), then walked through it, tracking it throughout the ENTIRE house before I noticed.
Betty says
Get me steamy! While we were visiting my parents for Christmas, one of our pipes froze and burst…melting the snow and flooding part of our yard and basement. Fun!

”Get Me Steamy” baby!!!!
Biggest mess? Dropped a gallon of milk while trying to put it in the refrigerator… the darn thing split in half and the entire gallon of milk went under the refrigerator, under the stove, all over the kitchen floor and on half family room carpet. What a freaking mess. Oh, and all this while having a 2 years old running around the house and 9 months old pregnant belly and no husband in town 🙁 This mop would have been my savior. 🙂

That stuff was a pain to clean up because it was soo oily and water resistant!!
Kristin says

Get me steamy!!!! I would looooove to try out one of these bad boys and see how truly nasty the cleaning pad is once I’ve done a once over on my kitchen floors. I do wash my floors fairly regularly, but I’m guessing that steam aspect might do a better job than I do!
April says
Get Me Steamy! I had two sick kids and a sick dog…yuck!

”Get Me Steamy” I feel like I am always tackaling a big mess, my kitchen. I have to say I cook some good food,but even though I try and clean while doing it. I manage to make HUGE messes in my small kitchen. Granted one pot out in this small kitchen makes the whole thing look dirty,but oh well.

Get Me Steamy- one of the worst messes I cleaned was a vomit explosion our older daughter had when she was about 2. She ended up covering her younger sister (sitting in a bouncy seat on the floor), the floor, table, chairs, windows, under the furniture, my husband, and…drum-roll please, even vomited IN HIS MOUTH.

Our chihuahua got ahold of some glidden paint sample bottles and chewed them to pieces on the new carpet.

How about the biggest mess I witnessed? When I was younger the family dog ate a giant cherry blow pop from my backpack and then puked it up on my parent’s beige carpet. On another occasions it was a stick of butter. I was good at leaving food accessible.

My biggest mess was probably the time my little guy wanted to play with a whole bag of flour!
Bao Xiong says
GET STEAMY! The biggest mess I’ve had to clean up is clearing 2 acres of makeshift chicken coups filled with layers upon layers of molding carpet, cardboard, wood, and a slew of other rotting materials on a property that my parents recently purchased. And yes, there was chicken poop everywhere. I couldn’t get the smell out of my hair for days, and I had nightmares of chickens for nearly a month.
Pamela says
Get me steamy! Cleaning up the mess from the master bathroom toilet that overflowed…and traveled into the bedroom carpet, too! Not good.

I once spent the summer in a Frat house of a frat that had been kicked off campus, but not before they tried to make the place uninhabitable. The showers were so nasty I had to shower at my gym while we scrubbed every thing with steel wool.
Julie says
GET ME STEAMY!!!! (please?!)
This is gross. My son threw cut up bananas on my floor while I was away. My husband didn’t clean them up, so three days later, on my hands and knees, I was scrubbing DRIED bananas off of my kitchen floor. They were in twenty different places and mashed and dried. My hands hurt for two days and I was NOT thrilled!
michelle r. says
Get me steamy!!! I haven’t had any BAD clean up disasters, but since my son has been born, I find that when I do clean, I find very interesting things to pick up or try to clean off the floor!!!
Lesley says
Get me steamy!
Definitely when I moved into my senior year college apartment. The place was a pigsty…Spend at least 2 days trying to scrub down that mess!
Anne says
Get me steamy! Biggest mess ever – my dog has had one accident in her crate. Enough said. But this mop would be handy for cleaning up her regular shedding & dirty paw print messes!
Brenda Cofer says

When we moved into our current house I dumped an entire gallon of pretty pink paint on the middle of our daughter’s beautiful berber carpet! Let’s say that there is still a pink “haze” on her floor 5 years later!
Lisa says
Get Me Steamy! The biggest mess I’ve tackled (in recent memory) would have to be the four (FOUR) layers of wallpaper we steamed/scraped/cursed off of our now beautiful bedroom walls, which unknowingly lurked beneath a layer of Pepto-Bismol pink paint. (And then off of the floor where the dropcloths didn’t exactly cover every last inch.) Seriously?! Ugh, but so happy with the end result.

get me steamy! baby diaper blowout while happily crawling around the living room…enough said.

In college, I once had a neighbor that paid me $50 to clean up his room before he moved out. I thought I was getting an easy $50. Little did I know it was the filthiest one room and bathroom could get in two years.
Frannie says
Get me Steamy!!
The worst mess I ever cleaned was our home when we bought it 7 years ago. It had been a rental for 10 years and was about to go into foreclosure. It was dark and smelled funny but it was we could see the potential. I cleaned for a solid week BEFORE painting every wall and piece of trim in the house. It had tile floors that I’m pretty sure had never ever been cleaned. It was filthy, with terrible rust stains in all the tubs and sinks… It’s still a work in progress but we love it!

I was “airing out” my little girl to help heal her diaper rash….there was grunting….and then as she crawled away there was poop on the floor. ick.

On two separate occasions with two different kids – Baby Powder!! Everywhere! Floor, bed, dresser, windowsill, wall, bathroom counter, shower… I keep my baby powder up really high now!
Shanna says
Get me Steamy!!
On Thanksgiving last year my four year old nephew and five year old niece poured ALL of the laundry detergent (2 HUGE bottles–think Sams size) and fabric softener all over the laundry room floor. Why, you might ask? For when Freddie Kruger comes he will slip on the floor downstairs before he can make it upstairs!! They were “protecting us.” That was one horrible mess. Lucky they are so freaking cute!
Tiffany says
GET ME STEAMY- you’ll have to ask my husband, he’s the one who cleans up around here 🙂

Get me Steamy! The previous homeowners of my home duct taped rugs to the hardwood floors. It was a real project to remove it.

Well hello there pretty steam mop. How I need you – I have a 2.5 year old – you can imagine the messes!!! Lets see the worst? Had to be from my husband – I’m sure he has made some nasty messes I have just utterly banished from my memory. Cat vomit comes in a close 2nd……
Ashlei says

My youngest had a (thankfully short-lived) habit of playing with the contents of his diaper during nap. Yeah. I still gag sometimes when I think about it!
bridget b. says
Get Me Steamy! last night i spilled a bottle of sticky cold medicine across the stove. i had to remove the eyelets and drip pans, clean them, and then clean underneath them since it had spilled all underneath the cooking surface.
Kimberly says
Get Me Steamy
I don’t know what the biggest mess I’ve ever cleaned is (probably something involving my pets…), but I’ve just moved into a 70 year old house with original wood floors, and I can’t seem to get them clean. I think a steam mop would be a lifesaver!
Kristy R. says
Get me Steamy!!
I have two golden retrievers and a baby on the way…I am CONSTANTLY cleaning the floors!! The biggest mess I’ve recently tackled was while we were refinishing our fireplace and black soot got EVERYWHERE!!! I must’ve mopped a dozen times!!! 🙂

GET ME STEAMY! I had to clean an apartment after someone was evicted, turned out he had 18 cats in 500 sqft! GROOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSS! I felt like I had to shower in borax afterwards.
Bethany Wise says
Get me steamy!
I once came home with my hungry infant to my dog having had diarrhea all over the floor. I had to put the dog in the tub to wash her and put my crying, hungry infant in her swing. She screamed the whole time so I ran back and forth to the tub with my nasty dog and the swing with my hungry baby. It was terrible and we were all miserable by the time the experience was over. I didn’t even mention the clean up that was required in my dog’s kennel. YUCK!
Jason says
Get Me Steamy!
I’m always cleaning my floors, I hate dirty floors. But, the biggest mess is my kitchen in general. I’ve never lived alone or in my own house, etc. before so now that I bought a house I have to cook or starve. I can not take anything (even tea) out of the refrigerator without dumping it across my floor and then there are times when I try to use a hand mixer and well you can imagine!
Rhiana says
GET ME STEAMY! My son took a large box of baking soda and shook it all over the kitchen and living room. Then he and the dog walked all over the house. Awesome.
Connie says

We put a dog we were fostering in the basement on a sweltering, hot day recently and he shredded 3 bags of potting soil!

I, too, have tackled many dirty situations, I have three cats (bad), two kids (badder), and one husband (baddest of all!). However, I also have laminate floors (hate, hate) which are BRUTAL to clean – they show every footprint! I need Black & Decker Steam Mop!
Susanna says
Get me steamy!
I have been out of town so much lately and every time I come home my two cats have managed to get cat hair EVERYWHERE. A steam mop would make my return home much less stressful!
Andy Mac says
Lived on a ranch with a bunch of teenage girls running around our office building with manure all over their boots one weekend. Somehow, it managed to get EVERYWHERE. Get Me Steamy!
Sherrie says
Get Me Steamy!
My son forgot to crate our new puppy when he was going to bed a few months ago. Harley, our English Bulldog had the full run of our main level of our house all night long…our kitchen, dinng room, den, foyer, laundry room & living room! When I woke up in the morning there was mounds of poo & puddles of pee EVERYWHERE…YUCK!
Jessica @ The Southern Belle Baby says
GET ME STEAMY!
By far, the nastiest mess I have ever cleaned occurred after my dog jumped on the counter and stole about two pounds of leftover roast beef. I’ll let you figure out what happened the next morning. All over the kitchen floor. And the carpet. And the wall. And the dog.
Roxanne says
Get Me Steamy!
I am known to just shove things back into our tiny pantry all wily nilly so the next unsuspecting person (usually me) who opens the doors gets a big surprise when aformentioned item springs to life and jumps out of the cabinet.
Well let’s just say one time I gently placed (threw) a bag of rice into the top shelf and came back a while later and opened the pantry and the rice decided to give the hot sauce bottle a swift kick out of the cabinet. Now glass hot sauce bottles and large white tile floors do not get along very well. There was hot sauce all the way across the kitchen not to mention huge chunks of glass. It was a sad day.
Nicole says
Get Me Steamy! The biggest mess… ugg! I had a crockpot holding delicious carnitas crack in two while sitting on my cooktop, which led to delicious pork juice dripping down into the drawers below that hold all my pots and pans. It was a river/flood/deluge of pork juice!
Sakina says

With two small boys and a permanently dusty floor I would love one of these!
Brittanie says
Get Me Steamy! We purchased a foreclosure and everything was filty- from ceiling to floor, we scrubbed 10 years of mess off everything! Took two full months to just make it partly livable.
Karen C says
Get me steamy!! The worst mess I have ever tackled was when I dropped a jar of marachino cherries taking it out of the refridgerator– there was cherry juice in the fridge, under it and all along the baseboards– it took months to finally feel “unsticky” around there!
Jim says
Get Me Steamy! Me – after I had to help tar a roof as part of a part-time job my dad forced me to take back in high school.

I have two chocolate labs so anytime it rains we get muddy paw prints in our house and with a new baby on the way, it would be awesome to have something to clean the floors with that is non-toxic!
Jennifer says
Get me steamy! I once had to clean up my own bloody vomit (I threw up after swallowing a ton of blood following my wisdom teeth removal). What made it even more memorable? I managed to throw up right into MY OPEN CLOSET. D’oh!
Amanda says
Get Me Steamy
I woke up the other morning to poop smears all over the kitchen floor and on the kitchen table! I was so grossed out and irritated at my cats. One of our cats runs his butt on the floor once he’s finished using the bathroom, and it’s disgusting! I was gagging cleaning it up. (I don’t do mess well!)
Kate says
Get Me Steamy!!!
I have to say, cleaning up after a big Halloween party was the worst–dried sticky punch, cob webs, crock pot dips, body paint on furniture, beer bottles and key cups, etc….
Michelle says
Get me steamy! I’m a do walker and more than once have I had to clean poop off of myself and 8 other dogs if someone had an accident in the back of my truck on the way to the park.
Courtney says
Get me steamy!
Biggest mess I ever encountered was cleaning up after my boyfriend in college. Let’s just say he went out and enjoyed himself too much.. how in the world do you get sick in the sink, then get it on the opposite wall which is where the shower curtain is, and then all over the walls by the toilet. He said it happened when he spun around to reach the toilet. I don’t miss him at all by the way.
Kim says

cat poop off my white bathroom rug was pretty nasty!
Kat says

I was visiting my brother with my dog. Both his dog and my dog had diarrhea in the middle of the night. Unfortunately my dog was in his kennel at the time and walked, sat, rolled around in it. So disgusting.
Allison says

Unloading the groceries, I dropped a huge glass bottle of spaghetti sauce. That was a fun one! Actually it was, because I tricked my boyfriend into thinking it was blood! 😛

The biggest mess I’ve ever tackled was vomit. Last night my little girl had a puke episode that wasn’t pretty.
Michelle says
Get Me Steamy!
Didn’t realize that dogs aren’t into blueberries. So when my 18-month old didn’t finish all of her blueberry pancakes and ever so nicely threw them on our wood dining room floor, I let our two puggies clean up after her. And then there was purple doggie throw-up all over our carpet. Um, let me correct myself – our very new carpet.
Kara F. says
Get Me Steamy! Anything dog related is the worst! I had to clean up dog poop and vomit all over carpet and tile a few years ago – ew!
lisa says
Get Me Steamy! This is gross, but one year my son had what felt like nonstop vomiting throughout the day . This would’ve come in handy. uhhhh.
Samantha says

This would have come in handy when cleaning our new house that the previous owners probably hadn’t cleaned in the 5 years they lived there!
Maddie says

The worst mess for me was cleaning up after a basement flood. Carpet and drywall had to be removed. It was a mess, for sure.
Laura says

Cleaning out and scrubbing the cabinets of our house when we moved in, the place had been empty for 7 years! I was sneezing for weeks and who knows how much smarter I was before all those necessary mold-annihilating chemicals reached my brain?!
Lindsay L. says
Get Me Steamy! The worst mess I’ve ever cleaned up was when I was working my first summer job as a lifeguard. It involved shoveling human poop out of the washroom at the pool that ended up next to the toilet instead of in it. Disgusting! Compared to that, there is nothing I can’t handle.
Kim Gordon says
GET ME STEAMY!
The biggest mess I ever had to tackle was pumpkin squares that were accidentally left on a burner that was on and exploded all over the kitchen.

Pressure washing a boat covered in bird crap was not the coolest thing I’ve ever done.
kristina says
get me steamy! I was pregnant and needing an extra minute of sleep. Big brother served little brother some peanut butter in his crib. The result was peanut butter painted all over the crib, walls, blinds … I felt like crying! It wasn’t worth the extra 2 minute in bed!!
Laura H says
Get me steamy! We just dog sat two fur-shedding, slobber-slinging basset hounds for a full week. Our payment? A check for the maid…so, can’t really say I had to clean anything myself.
Elaine says

Owning an Irish Wolfhound dog results in the biggest mess to clean up – we are talking wall to wall pee along with a big pile of …. well you get it! Not fun. Newspapers come in very handy!
PS – Finally get to enter these competitions since moving from the UK, yay!
Dani says
GET ME STEAMY!!!
Just cleaned up a backed up plumbing issue in the basement. Good times. This would have really come in handy.
I am always trying to keep the floors clean for our newly crawling twin boys. It is good to see that other kids eat leftovers off of the floors! Original floors in an eighty year old house feel like they have eighty year old dirt caked in there!!!
Kelsey says
Get Me Steamy!
I am a mom to a 3 year boy… I have cleaned baby powder from every nook and cranny of my precious boy’s room (including himself), peanut butter and honey off a baby gate then the carpets underneith because of the drippy mess, permenant marker off an entire freshly painter wall, poop painted crib, and finally (but by no means the end of my sticky, gross, and frustrating list of messes) body wash that got poured and rubbed into our carpets (AN ENTIRE BOTTLE) and if anyone has ever had to clean this up it is the most frustrating, time consuming task and just when you think you might be done more suds appear!!
Thuy says
Get me steamy!
Cleaning the nasty bathrooms in the foreclosed home be bought was definitely one of the biggest and nastiest job I’ve ever tackled! It wasn’t the size of the bathrooms it was the amount of repeated scrubbing to get the layers of caked on gross-ness out!
lindsey g says
Get me steamy!! I tackled a 150 year old home that had been cleaned daily while living in it, but somehow was covered in dust bunnies when we moved my sister out!

Nail polish off the walls & trim, wood floors, bathroom tile & grout, bathroom cabinet and marble counter-top……….I wish I could blame this on someone else but it was alllllll me and my sweet husband helped me clean it up and reassured me the entire time that I wasn’t a loser which I kept muttering through sobs!
Sarah Crumrine says
GET ME STEAMY!! I have three sons, so I’ve cleaned it all…worst is probably sharpie, red Gatorade in carpet, and . . vomit! yuck!
Danielle b says
Get me steamy! Boy oh boy, have I dealt with some messes from
Dogs, plants, and food. The worst yet has been dropping a gallon of milk on the kitchen floor. The cabinets were covered, I was covered, as was the floor.
Ann says
Get Me Steamy. Milk, lots of spilled milk.
lacey says

The worst mess I’ve ever cleaned was my entire house when we first bought it. Let just say it used to be a rental with filthy tenants and huge dogs that used the carpet instead of the grass.
The Landises says
Get me steamy!
Biggest mess, or one of them, definitely had to be shoveling manure out of a truck on a farm. That’s not exactly “cleaning,” but it should count! 🙂
Johanna says

Honey. Note to self: never leave honey where my little sweetie can get it. Takes alot of hot water (and rags, papertowels, napkins, etc) to get rid of that!

I was paying more attention to my friend in the living room than what I was doing in the kitchen and shook the formula bottle without the lid screwed on. That stuff got everywhere and was sticky to boot! Not fun – coulda really used a steam mop!
Paola says
Get Me Steamy!! The worst mess I ever cleaned was in one of our properties….the tenants run away and left a wrecked house in our hands!
Tammy says
Get me steamy!
A couple of months ago, my dog thought it would be fun to tear up a down pillow when I left him at home for a little bit. I walked in to my entire living area covered in thousands of feathers. So imagine me trying to get all of the feathers off of the ground, but anytime I’d reach for some, others would scatter… Needless to say, although it wasn’t a gross clean-up, it took forever, and I’m still finding a stray feather here and there.
Kayla says
Get Me Steamy!
I already posted my sob story on the wrong post! OOPs. So here is another mess I deal with on the reg: cleaning up after my bulimic 3 cats in a tiny apt (I keed, they aren’t actually bulimic). It’s stinky and this mop would help!

The lid on my smoothie suctioned so hard that when my husband went to get it off it exploded all over him. Looked like baby poop exploded all over our kitchen! Pretty bad mess but also pretty darn funny 😉

”Get Me Steamy” Hmmm… probably a indoor market I used to work for. It was awful when my mom and I would clean there!
K (Barking Babymama) says
GET ME STEAMY!!
While watching my son and another toddler, I was focused on something in the living room – when my son’s little friend came in from the kitchen, she had white powder above her eye. I brushed it off, and finally realized it was powdered sugar – all over her, my (chocolate brown) rug, my son, and our kitchen floor. They had gotten into the pantry. It was a MESS to clean up – I had to use our brand new never-been-used vacuum, and then had to clean all the filters and everything.
Rebekah Butterfield says
Get me steamy! I had to clean up some sick dog diarrhea when I was 6 months pregnant at like 5 am. Everything is grosser when you’re pregnant.

The biggest mess I’ve ever cleaned would have to be my classroom. It was not a classroom before I got it, a storage/junk room, that I had a week to turn into a classroom!!

The biggest mess I have tackled has been my new classroom. It was renovated so there was dust and debris all over the place and everything else was packed up and put in the middle of the room.

The biggest mess I’ve tackled recently is last winter when my husband accidentally knocked over a burning candle with tons of wet wax onto the carpet. We were ironing our carpet and blotting it with paper towels for DAYS.
Molly says
Get Me Steamy!
That would have to be the finger paint that ended up all over my kitchen table, floors, windows & walls.
Jenny says
GET ME STEAMY! (pretty please)
Worst mess to clean up was definitely water everywhere after a crack in the foundation during a rainstorm, involving lots of rag towels, quick dry cement and newspaper (and then newsprint) trying to fill the gushing in water. Ugh.
Nicole says
Get me Steamy!!
We have a great dane male puppy, Jack, that has this interesting habit of occasionally peeing while he walks. (My husband and I joke that he’s trying to spell his name on the floor) It’s bearable to clean when it’s in a small area, but there have been two times where he has left a trail of pee in every downstairs room of our house. It reminds me of the little boy from “Family Circus” when he went exploring with the dotted lines indicating where he went.

The biggest mess I’ve ever tackled was when my little cousin spent the weekend and I woke up to a floury mess and eggs all on the kitchen floor. He was trying to bake a cake using what he always saw his tante using 🙂

Meg says

Umm…I would say the most PAIN in the arse mess was dropping a bowl of cereal and little splatters went EVERYWHERE…and it’s milk so I had to find every last one before I could be done since I didn’t want my kitchen to smell like funky milk because I accidently missed a spot!

The DISGUSTING tile kitchen countertop when we moved in this year. I don’t think it had been cleaned since the house was built in the ’80s. The grout looked like it had fur in it. Yuck!
Sarah Lim says
Get me Steamy! Homemade pink oobleck that came out waaaaay too runny but I let my 2 and 4 year olds play with it anyway. We had funny during, but when I was cleaning up I kept asking myself what I was thinking!!!

I’ve had just about everything spilled on the floors. My least favorite is dog vomit!
Julianne says
“Get Me Steamy”
My 13 month old went in the fridge when I was turned around pouring his milk…he quickly grabbed and flung a huge container of sauce across the kitchen floor. It made it’s way into places that we are still finding we missed. Not only that but he got sauce all over himself and slipped in it. I was smelling sauce for days…it lingered on our skin for days!!! Gross!
Michelle says
Get Me Steamy! I dropped a pot of soup on my floor once…not fun to clean up!
Elizabeth Mann says
”Get Me Steamy”
I spent two days cleaning our house from top to bottom the week-end we moved in. The owners before were smokers and I wanted all traces of that gone. My sil helped me scrub down all the wallpapered walls and the rags were the most disgusting things I’d ever seen when we were done.
Erinn says

Marriah says
GET ME STEAMY! The biggest mess I ever tackled was helping a college suitemate clean out her room. It was Crazy Messy!
Marissa says
Get me steamy!! Last summer my sister in law and I attempted to clean out my mother in laws basement. It was the nastiest thing I have ever had to do. We cleaned out 2 and a half TONS of 30+ years of food storage that was very rotten! You read that right, upon taking it to dump in several trips it added up to over 2 TONS of GARBAGE! The saddest part is we didn’t hardly make a dent on the basement. Oh and the worst part was her being royally pissed that we were throwing out perfectly “good” food! Have you ever watched one of those hoarding shows? I felt like I was living in an episode.
Callie says
Get Me Steamy! The biggest mess I’ve tackled was probably a filthy bathroom that I’m ashamed to admit is a direct result of pure laziness on my part…
Becky Mueller says
”Get Me Steamy”
My toughest mess is still on my floor. We recently moved into a house with all hard wood floors. I cleaned them before moving all of our stuff, but since then, my barefoot summer feet have been turning black by the end of the day. I dread cleaning and have no desire to scrub them all again so soon. I need an easy mop to do it for me 🙂
Callie says
Get Me Steamy! Biggest mess I’ve tackled….gross bathroom…still scarred for life.

One time I spilled white paint all over red carpet…that was not a fun cleanup!

Amanda says
Get Me Steamy!! I have been dying for one of these since our entire house consists of hard surfaces and cleaning up massive amounts of depris from dogs could keep me cleaning all day!

GET ME STEAMY! Biggest mess was cleaning poop out of the tub. Not once, but twice. My 1-yr-old felt inspired after seeing my 2-yr-old do it during the same bath session. I’m still gagging.
Jessica G says

one of my cats had a urine-loves-carpet issue. we steam cleaned it for ages. and ages. and ages. you know it’s bad when the “dirty water” coming back into the steam cleaner is straight-up yellow. so bad. so so bad.

My dog got sick… enough said, I think.
Brooke FW says
Oh the messes a toddler makes! The best story involves the carpet. My 18 month old daughter had a HORRIBLE diaper rash, and for weeks we were letting her go around without pants and a diaper on to let the fresh air help. Well this of course led to an “accident” on the rugt just beside my husbands side of the bed. That night when he went to climb into bed he STEPPED IN IT. And it wasn’t pee…. He looked like a cartoon character hopping on one foot to the bathroom. I laid in bed laughing the entire time. I didn’t help at all. Ops!
Jenni says

We once helped our friends clean out a college house (much like a frat house). Gross (for instance, one of the windows was left open, and the room was full of dirt and dead leaves?!), but luckily it was just for a day 🙂

Get Me Steamy….for the 3 meals/day for my family…I swear more food ends up on the floor than their bellies some days. If I don’t win this steamer, I might have to get a goat to lick up their messes!
Victoria says
GET ME STEAMY! The biggest mess I’ve tackled would have to be myself at the age of 26!! I moved away from my job, my masters program and all of my friends and family. I was living in a city I hated, with a job I hated, and a boyfriend of 6 yrs that wouldn’t commit!! So I took charge of my life, moved back to the state where my family and friends reside, bought myself a house, love my job and I couldn’t be happier almost a year later. So winning this steam mop would be dandy to use on MY wood floors of MY house!
Kimberlee says
Get Me Steamy!! My new Finace’s bathroom floor is horrible! Him living there for 2 years without cleaning it, he’s lucky I’m sticking around. We now have a weekly cleaning routine!

Get Me Steamy. Grossest mess ever? Having to clean up after a one year old and a puppy who had both pooped on the floor…and I was the babysitter…ewwwy!!
erica says
Get Me Steamy! When we had septic, our shower backed up and it was pretty nasty.

Get Me Steamy. Our house was a foreclosure when we bought it, so it was one big mess.
catie says
Get me steamy! Cleaning a red wine spillage on our new rug. Yikes! Lots of googling remedies and tears and luckily we got it cleaned up.
Kim says

I guess I’m lucky – I can’t think of a biggest mess, but my kitchen floor is always kind of dirty…
Sara says
Get me steamy!
One time the sewer backed up into our basement. HUGE cleanup. And gross.

Get Me Steamy!
I was once in a ketchup/mustard fight in my dorm room. I didn’t initiate it, but I sure did have to clean it up! 🙁
Amanda says
Get me steamy! Well, ashamed to say that I also don’t often clean… but, the worst messes were probably every time I’ve moved out of somewhere, because after the furniture goes, all the dust and grime becomes visible!!
Alison says
Get me steamy!
How about a bowl full of cookie dough that had fallen on the floor, resulting in glass shards and thick goopy dough. Not nice.
Melodie says
Get me steamy! Worst mess had to be the lasagna that spilled all over my brand new white carpet! I cried, not gonna lie.
Jennifer says
Get me steamy! I would have to say the 100 year old apartment that I just moved into last weekend. It had lots of charm and lots of dirt! (PS these hardwoods floors could really use this!!!)
Teri says
Get Me Steamy! The biggest mess I tackled was when our puppy was sick, and it was coming out of both ends. The poor carpet!!!
Andi says
Get me steamy!
I have boys, one who is potty training at the moment and thinks it is much more fun to go on the floor than in the toilet….yuck!
Megan S. says
Get me steamy!
I moved into this little house in the mountains that had not been cleaned for what seemed like years. It took me a full week of cleaning and painting to make it livable!
I admit, I also hate to clean the floor. Unfortunately, I have a dirty dog. 🙂
Susan A says
Get me steamy! Shattered a bottle of pink nail polish on my boyfriend’s WHITE tile…it. was. everywhere. Also, right before his annual Super Bowl party! Woops 🙂
Alicia says
Get Me Steamy!
Worst mess when my daughter (then about 1 1/2) knocked over a bottle of tide and over half of it spilled before I could get to it and Ihad to clean that up and her. Have you ever cleaned laundry detergent in a mass quanity off the floor as well as the child playing in it? Now that is a hard to clean up mess.
Jess says
GET ME STEAMY!
Worst mess? I found a bucket our super old cat was using as his litter pan 🙁
Mary M. says
Get me steamy! The mess that was left after scrapping our popcorn ceiling!
Aliya says
GET ME STEAMY! My biggest mess to date was when our dog, Jake, had an altercation with a skunk…that he was holding in his mouth. Not pretty.
Second runner up: anything having to do with our daughter Eleanor’s poop and/or barf 🙂
laura says

Get Me Steamy
Just last week. I had a small quart of white paint sitting on the ledge by my back door. I was planning to take it outside and paint the trim on the garage. The dog got excited and tried to crawl on the ledge when I was coming inside and knocked the can off the ledge and it broke. Then he decided to jump right in the middle of the spilled paint and took off running through the kitchen and dining room. I was cleaning up white dog paw prints for hours.
James says
Get me steamy. when my toddler found a nail polish bottle and broke it .. and I didnt notice it until much MUCH later…
Erin says
Get me steamy! (awkward much?)
I have a 10 month old and travertine floors. I need this in my life.
The mess that was our first house was epic. I took 4 days off from work to get it clean enough for us to move in. Yikes.
Stephanie says
Get me steamy!
I have a 2 year old and a cat who likes to throw up a lot. My worst messes involve either of them. This would help a lot!
Jennine G-L says
”Get Me Steamy” I think my biggest mess is the cat pee that seems to happen in their box and surrounding area. That is so hard to clean.
Stuart says

Silly String off the bricks of a house, impossible!
Rachel says
Get Me Steamy!
I worked on a boat in Alaska doing wildlife and glacier cruises. Occasionally the water was rather rough. Occasionally people didn’t feel well. Occasionally they refused to go outside when they felt ill. Guess who got to clean up after them.
Jacqueline says
Get me steamy! So far, the biggest mess in our new house was the one we made taking down 50s foil wall paper. What a mess!
Heather says
