Gina, just a question and a comment. I have a steamer, but it's a boiler with a hose and a special floor attachment, but it has a leak on the cap for the steamer, so haven't used it for a while. I saw the Shark wet mops at Bed Bath and Beyond, but was afraid that they did not hold enough water and I'd be refilling it constantly. I had a Dirt Devil floor cleaner and that was the problem with it. Had to fill it a dozen times to do my floors. Can you do quite a bit of area with the Shark?? I'm really interested in it.

Also, I use just plain dish detergent frequently for my everyday cleaning of granite because it's handy, but often and especially for my weekly cleaning I do use the Black Diamond Counter Cleaner for granite and stone. You may want to consider trying it. It makes the granite counter tops really shine, and has such a nice clean scent. I love the stuff. For my tumbled marble back splash, the dish detergent is fine because it's dull anyway, but just wanted to let you know about the Black Diamond. It's a bit pricy, but a gallon lasts quite a long time. You can google it and they do sell small bottles. FYI.
