Some CR-recommended steam mops double as clothes steamers with a hose attachment, letting one machine handle both floors and wrinkled shirts. Steam power, heat-up time and how well the steam actually penetrates fabric without leaving it wet can vary widely between models built primarily for mopping.
Consumer Reports tested the clothes-steaming attachments on four CR-recommended steam mops on linen and cotton, so shoppers can find a dual-purpose machine that handles wrinkles as well as a dedicated steamer.
