You may not know this about me, but in addition to being a total badass DIY diva, I’m also a domestic Goddess! Much like Snow White — but without and all her little critter friends.
NOT!!!
Ok, not really. Laundry, dishes and dust would pile and collect if it were up to me alone to keep things clean and tidy around here. Thank goodness for helpers and the right appliances. And speaking of cleaning appliances, HomeRight is giving away THREE SteamMachine Plus steam machines!
Beside the obvious floor cleaning capability, the SteamMachine has an array of attachments that allows you to steam clean any ole’ thing you want. You just pull the mini steamer thingy out of the main contraption and put on your choice of attachment.
The most amazing thing I have found is that I can remove 5 year old paint off my floors by steaming it and then scraping it up with a plastic scraper!
I didn’t just get dressed up for nothing here…Let’s get this giveaway party started!
The deets on how to enter:
- For a chance to win one of the three HomeRight SteamMachine Plus’ just leave a comment on the blog! Anything interesting- fact or fiction. AND click on the Widget below, you have to do both or you won’t be registered!
- You MUST be 18 years or older to enter and have a Continental US shipping address.
Jackie Brown says
Thank you!! What a great Christmas gift!!
Carol says
This looks so handy! I painted my bathroom and got some paint on the wood trim, I think this would help take it off.
Suzanne says
Oh what I could do to the original built-in cabinetry in my bathroom! Goodbye pale lavender paint!
Sara H. says
I would use the steamer for my kitchen hardwood floors. No matter how (or how often) I clean them they never seem clean! Merry Christmas!
heather says
I want to remove paint off of my floors too!! I have beautiful dark hardwoods and while I love them, I have four children. They are dirty all. the. time. For real.
rene maria creamer says
Something interesting….I just learned today from my 11 year old niece, Savannah who has a strange fascination for insects that a Dung Beetle navigates themselves using the Milky Way and they can pull 1,141 Times their own body weight. Of course, I thanked her for that information which only lead to further conversations about the Dung Beetle which I will just keep to myself.
Melissa K says
My husband thinks I’m OCD about a clean house. I’m not OCD….I swear!
Shannon says
My sister in-law has one of these and it worked great cleaning the grout in her tile entry way.
Gina Reed says
I could use one of those! My floors are horrible!
Sandra S. says
My name is Sandra too. I hate to clean, but having three kids leaving a sticky, crumby trail everywhere they go means I have to.
Kathy Sturgeon says
I’m very interested in steam cleaning things in my home. I’ve never used any kind of steam cleaning machine before, but they sound really useful!
Jenni says
I am terrible with keeping up with cleaning the house and a steamer to help with the floors or nasty bathrooms from 5 kiddos would be a huge help. Plus a cool new device would intrigue the kids for a while and get them to help more.
Liz says
I can steam off all the paint on my hardwoods that my husband hasn’t noticed YET
Bibiana says
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Kelly says
This seems like it would be much faster than mopping… which would be a win-win.
Em Mahr says
We bought a new home several months ago and several rooms have tile and hardwood floors – I’ve been looking for a good way to clean them besides on my hands and knees. This steam mop seems like the perfect solutions! And I love that I can clean everything with steam, so no chemical are needed around my little ones and dog.
Julie says
Great giveaway! I’ve been looking to buy something like this.
Karen says
I love cleaning with steam! I’ve worn out my shark! Please replace it. 🙂
Danielle says
I really really need one of these. I have three kids and my floor is caked in food particles, glue globs, and dirt. This would help tremendously in keeping my grody floors clean. Maybe I would clean them more then once a month! HA!
Jake's a Girl says
You’re so funny!
I’m more the sleeping beauty type. Not the beauty but the sleeping. Hoping I sleep through all the clean up. 😀
I’m missing your funny video’s! btw…You look great in that dress. Who says a carpenter can’t wear heels?! 😉
Stefani says
We just moved into a new place with ALL TILE floors. This would be an awesome tool to have!! Especially since my cat just started a habit of “scooching” on the floor after using the litter box (gross, I know, but we’re getting her checked out!!)
Ashley says
I just feel like doing any sort of houseWORK is not worth it when we live in the woods and I have a husband and dog. I want to cry everytime they track in mud after I clean
Julie says
Amen. Two dogs, one husband, two stepsons, and more mud and fur than is sane. Mostly, I can be relaxed about it. But that one time with the cow manure… !!!!
Crissy says
If we don’t win your still buying me one
david says
Mrs. Wife of mine would be disgusted if I didn’t enter a free steam machine giveaway.
dianne a. says
What a great giveaway, would love to try out the HomeRight Steam Machine.
sandi says
This would be so amazing. I have hardwood floors and this would make cleaning sooo much easier and possible quicker, freeing up time for all the diy projects.
Jennifer Hiles says
I read a study once that said there is more bacteria in your kitchen sink than in your toilet. Makes ya think. lol ugh.
jenny says
This would be amazing for our house! Two boys under the age of 3, a dog, and about a half dozen DIY projects going on at any given moment. Fingers crossed!
SuSang says
I would love to have one of these for those times when my elderly cat throws up her medicine! TMI, I know!
Felicity says
I woke up this morning to the sound of my dog vomiting. I think it’s clear that I need the steam.
Kim says
That would work wonders on the doggy footprints that follow my dog around the tile and hardwood floors!
Shelley Hill says
With 1 dog, 1 cat, 1 bunny, and 4 homeschooled kids that are home every day living life to the fullest all the while making mountains of messes, I desperately need a steam cleaner.
jessica w says
we are about to buy a house, and it needs some TLC like wall paper removal,etc. This would really help out!
Linda says
There are many interesting things I could tell you but most of them have nothing to do with a steam cleaner. However, one steam cleaning story I can tell you is this. I was caring for a man who was very ill and dying. Toward the end of his life he lost all control of his bowels. Unfortunately for me he was still able to walk about. He had a steam cleaner that saved me during cleanup. Gross yes but it is interesting!
Jennifer h. says
With two cats, a dog and two little boys, this would be amazing for my home!!
Ashley C says
I now want to steam clean my house in a dress, haha!
demureprincess7(at)gmail(dot)com
lISA says
My whole house needs a good steam cleaning! Count me in!
Angie s says
I would gift this to a family member who still uses yucky mops!
Judy D says
I have old paint and I don’t even know what on my floors that I try to get up and then pretend I don’t see anymore. This might be the answer to finally getting a clean house.
Karen c says
I would love to have one of these! With lots of boys running around my house, it’d come in handy!
Jen says
Oh, this is sooooo me too! Complete with twirling and singing!
Okay, never, never do I sing, dance, or delight in cleaning, but I DO like having a clean house so I buckle down and do it with much reluctance and I foist as much as possible off in my 13 year old (because where else where she learn to clean?)
Jenni D says
Some of the photos you post just crack me up. Love it. Thanks for the lol’s. 🙂
mason says
Just the thing! We’ve just moved and this would be perfect!
Janet says
Love the picture. So cute! I never enter these things but you never know.
Suzanne says
This steamer looks really versatile! I wonder if it will take out the wrinkles in my curtains that washing and ironing still left behind?
Val says
Steam cleaners rule!
Bobbi says
I have lots of wood floors so this would be nice to have.
Suzanne Melton says
Hey, I just watched the finale of America’s Next Top Model and you, my dear, are a total badass diva!
I have a Homeright Paint Stick and love it. Dave said I was nuts but now he thinks he might want to use it for the ceiling.
beverly e says
I’m living in the house that I grew up in and I’m old. I’m not “went to school with George Washington” old, and my childhood home is not an historic landmark, but it’s pretty old, too. The tiled shower is original to the house, which makes it old… and grungy. I’m sure a steam cleaner would shine that baby right up. Thanks for the chance to win one.
Ava says
I would prefer to build something than clean house any day, but I’m putting this on my Xmas list for the hubby to use when he cleans.
LinhC says
My dog would hate having me chase him around the house with this…Bwwaaaaa!
Kelly D says
I would like this machine to help me clean up after my 2 kids and cat.
Sarah V says
I love the idea of a SteamMachine! It is much better than using harsh chemicals.
Heather says
I would be a domestic diva if I only had a proper steam machine. Fingers crossed.
Liesl Schick says
I have always wanted to try a steamer. We are currently living in an apartment (all 6 of us and a 65 pound dog in 900 square feet) and we have plans to build a home in the spring. I think steaming the linoleum floors would be so much easier than scrubbing them on my hand and knees!
Patricia C says
My Mom’s favorite cartoon was Snow White
Starr says
Could sure use this with my hardwood floors! I could toss the mop and bucket! Yeah!
Jeannie Garcia-Buechele says
I was born and raised in Phoenix Arizona and have been here for 50 years..lol.. 🙂
Sarah says
We have two mini pigs and while they’re litter trained they somehow leave a trail of destruction behind them. This would be super useful and let me spend more time DIYing than cleaning! 🙂
Gwen says
Did you know there is a giant, 200 foot long, stuffed bunny, knitted from pink wool, laying on a hillside in Italy with it’s entrails spilling out?
Misty Griffenberg says
Would love a steam cleaner. With two littles and two doggies. I feel like we are always needing to clean something!
Carla says
Loved your domestic goddess outfit! Would love to win this cleaner too!
Karen says
Interesting, huh? Well, let’s see. I just won a $100 gift card to Online Fabric Store!!!! How’s that for interesting! I don’t want to be greedy but I need to make curtains for my windows and we just installed our own hardwood flooring in the living room and I could really use that steam mop! Also, I am the one who tweeted to you that I desperately needed your help on our kitchen and you were so kind to email me and ask what I needed. Then we had a death in the family and everything got put on hold. I still do desperately need your help with our kitchen, so I will be emailing you back as soon as I can. My kitchen resembles a construction zone more than a kitchen because we use it to work on everything except kitchen stuff. It is torn apart and needs to be put back together. That is what I need your help with. I hope you have time to help me. Thank you for emailing and thank you for this giveaway.
Heather Lawrence says
I’d totally loan this to the little green leprechaun that cleans my house!
Jackie brown says
Omg I need this in my life.. 3 kids,3dogs and 3cats live her with me and my husband lol
Heather says
I love the animals!!
Heather C says
in the corners on the floor where dirt really loves toget despite all your best efforts to keep clean, I would love to try this out on those corners.
Fara says
I have a steam mop on my Christmas list! This would be an awesome “Santa” gift!
Interesting fact about me: I was in the Army as a Chemical Operations Specialist 🙂
MPCHILD says
There is just one little word that shakes my world, but not in a good “shake it off” way: GRIME.
Three kids plus one very big KID and two very LARGE dogs=nothing is ever really clean for long.
Many Christmas’ ago I did a ask for a steamer, but no one (not one) believed that’s what I REALLY wanted…sigh…got a lot of earrings that year. May the magic of Christmas be on my side!
An says
Thanks would love one
Karin Meenan says
We just bought a home and have to do loads of reno. Totally off topic but the most interesting story I have is when I was in High School. My brother wrapped up a Christmas gift for me. Very unusual as my mom usually does it for him. I opened that gift and was totally ticked at him. He wrapped up dog poop that he found in the house. (we just adopted a stray and it wasn’t completely housebroken yet) I guess it was his way to tell me I need to take better care of the dog. We tell the story all the time. His kids love to hear tales of his mischief from when we were growing up.
LD says
Love the pic!!! Would love the steamer too.
jules frazier says
WOW! This would be wonderful gift! I have a lot of cleaning & what a gift to win!
Patrick says
My wife does most of the inside stuff and I do the DIY’s and outside stuff. This would be great for cleaning up my mess after a visit to the chickens.
Molly says
Sure would come in handy living out on a farm, my house is never clean….thanks for the chance to win!
Catherine condon says
Funny fact: “friendstalker” was one of the first names considered for twitter. You’re welcome. 🙂
MichelleD says
Confession… while I dust mop and vacuum my wood floors several times a week… I rarely mop! Gasp! 🙁 I could really use this steam mop! Thanks for a chance to win!
Cynthia says
I imagine the floors being so much cleaner with pets and grandkids in the house!! And Sandra you rock!!
Amanda Grass says
This would be awesome for my hardwood floors! I definitely have some paint to remove too…:0)
Sue burningham says
I have always wanted to try one of the steam machines! Love your blog!
Michelle Paige says
I so need one of these! Man, I can’t believe you dress up to clean?!! Love it!
Erin Kaven says
Ever since I saw this machine on tv a few weeks ago I have been wanting one. Thanks for the chance to win it…and the great ruler idea. I’m going to get my husband and son together to make some for me as a gift. Yes, we must tell them what we want and I like homemade gifts from my kids. This would be a useful one.
Jan says
Cleaning 🙁 DH would sometimes prefer it would not happen especially when he is busy, because I’m always breaking something. I guess it keeps him busy!
Kristin says
I bet this would be perfect to clean up behind toddlers! Their food throwing range never ceases to amaze me!
Eska says
This looks pretty cool. We have countless spots of crud on our hardwood floors that regular cleaning has not taken care of. I like things that make cleaning easier.
Cheyenne B says
An interesting fact is that me and my high school sweetheart, of 7 years now, bought our first home earlier this year! yay! A GRIMEY fact is that the previous owners of said house did a terrible job painting and there is splatter EVERYWHERE on the wood floors!
Sarah says
Five year old paint stains? Sweet! I want one!
Mary South says
I am 8 months pregnant and moved into a dirty new house. We have found 3 decompose mice! I would love to finish getting it sterilized before the baby comes!
Robin says
Love your blog!

Yeah! Who gets dressed up to work? I am famous for my paint covered clothes!!
Julie W says
I NEEEEED a steam cleaner! I live with 3 messy, gross boys, and 1 big messy man. You can imagine the stuff I need to sanitize.
Karen says
I have a lot of hardwood and tile floors. This would be perfect.
tasha roe says
that dress is fun! can you give away someone to use it at my house too? 😉
Seansmom says
That cleaner would be great for all my laminate floors!! My mom and sister are “clean freaks”, but they must have run out of “cleaning genes” by the time I was born because I HATE housework!!!! Anything that makes it faster/easier is my kind of tool!!!
Elizabeth says
well.. Here is something interesting that I read on the internet today. Google is launching balloon in stratosphere to deliver internet to places where internet connection is not possible by other means. They are using wind calculation to propel balloons to proper locations. Project started in New Zealand’s remote parts, but it will spread throughout the world with thousands of balloons. Even Google thinks that this is crazy idea and they called it Project Loon. Balloons will be circling at around 24KM altitude.
Guerrina says
Oh my gosh! My 4 year old grandson is absolutely obsessed with vacuum cleaners, steam cleaners, carpet steam cleaners. Last year he asked the Santa at Home Depot for a vacuum cleaner. He thinks Santa is bringing him another vacuum this year! LOL … we already have 7 vacuums….yes 7 (including the one fake one for kids which he “turned” into a steam cleaner by pouring water into the battery compartment…clever kid…he was 3 then)! All thanks to friends who think it’s funny and they give us their old ones. He would love a steam cleaner and so would I since he actually loves to vacuum and clean!
kristin says
You crack me up! I knew that claim (you being miss tidy) could not be true! I love your humor in your post today. And I have heard about these little steam machines–would LOVE to try!
Sonya cokenour says
I NEED this!! 3 dogs + 1 cat + 3 kids = filthy floors
Cindy B says
Something interesting is that I would LOVE to have this machine to clean all manner of things but especially my oven… okay that’s not exciting but I would be ecstatic to win. 🙂
Hannah says
We just finished building a container/ICF hybrid home and with concrete floors, 4 dogs and a new home still surrounded by mud, a steam cleaner would be a life saver!!
Gloria DeLaRosa Ruiz says
With 4. Kids and a husband who works out in the oilfield, I find myself ALWAYS deep cleaning my floors. Haven’t found the perfect mop, so I do it old school. Green scrub pads, a little dawn & some hot water and I scrub away!Not my favorite chore!
KRISSA says
My hardwood floors and beautiful tile bathrooms and granite countertops scream Steam Machine Plus…….take us away! 🙂
Betsy says
3 teenagers, 3 kittens… and a mom who would rather run a table saw than a vacuum or mop. Need I say more?!
Kerri King says
Let’s be honest, anything that makes cleaning an easier chore is an amazing invention. Give me!
PJ Lainis says
I wish I was a true domestic goddess but I’d rather craft and learn things…and I have learned so much from you. So…a steam cleaner would make tidying up so much faster and leave more play time!
Korrie@RedHenHome says
Here’s a fun Christmas fact for you: “Norwegian scientists have hypothesized that Rudolph’s red nose is probably the result of a parasitic infection of his respiratory system.”
Hema poonamalli says
I love to win this one since i have new flooring. I really dont know how to deal with dust all over. I hate dust.
Megan S. says
I also aspire to a clean house. Especially after finishing up that DIY project that has left the house a mess for the past 2 months!
Laura williams says
My daughter had a full on melt down this morning because her show went to commercial break while she was eating breakfast and cried until it came back on. So glad it is Friday and daddy will be here to help tomorrow.
sarah says
This would be so helpful! Love this blog!
Hannah says
A steam cleaner is on my Christmas list! I would love to win this one!
Also, here’s something interesting: Laughing lowers levels of stress hormones and strengthens the immune system. Six-year-olds laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day.
Donna Marchlewski says
I would certainly love to win one of these steam machines!
Joyce T. says
Just had all the carpet removed from the whole house (from the bathrooms & kitchen too!!!!) so now I could really use a steam machine! I know if it is a Homeright, it is a good product.
Kelley says
I am a super domestic goddess, too! with wood floors in every room. I would LOVE this steam cleaner… they might actually get cleaned if I had this cool tool 🙂
Kari says
I’m conquering my fear of power tools, but I do know my way around a steam mop. I think.
Beth says
I’d really like a steam mop –
Just think what I could clean!
I’d twirl around my living room
In satin, with a sheen!
I’d wear high heels and make-up
and I’d make a pretty scene
while I disinfect my castle –
I’m a domestic queen.
Julia says
I love your blog! I look at all of the products you recommend. I just bought the drywall vacuum sander and I am getting the paint sprayer and Dewalt battery powered nail gun for Christmas! We move into our new house in January and it needs a complete renovation. I’m sure this steam machine would come in handy too!
Tom says
I’ve always wanted to see if these steam mops work. Looks pretty cool!
BETSY says
I’m trying to talk my husband in to more wood floors…would love to have this to go along!
TIFFANY b says
Holy crap that is incredible that it can get 5 year old paint off floors! I would love to try it on my house, but might be grossed out at how dirty my hardwood floors are!
Darlene mcclenny says
Steam is good for cleaning grout on tile floors. You’re my DIY guru!
Stacey says
We just put in hard wood floors last weekend. Boy would this be awesome to have…..otherwise, I just know they will never be clean until the kids move out!!!!
Connie says
I’m wondering if it leaves streaks on dark hardwood floors.
liz says
This would be so awesome! I wonder if it works well on upholstery? Our car is in need of some love after renovating our home. 🙂
Molly Ekkens says
Is it sad I am in my early 20s and asked for a steamer for Christmas last year? Unfortunately I didn’t get one 🙂
Talina says
hhmmmm something interesting…. I can’t think of anything….. so I’ll just say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Leah says
I am a diy who doesn’t like cleaning all that good, even tho it gets done, because I don’t like all the dirt either, but don’t check out my walls or corners for dust!
Lynn R says
Oh my! SO much paint I could remove. My whole house would get streamed up! And I bet it would help me remove that fort year old tile from my basement floor (waiting on the asbestos test now).
michelle says
With three dogs and two cats, any help in the cleaning department would be great.
Sarah F says
With having a larger home we use for minister, having a steam cleaner to get some of the dirt off the floors would be such a time saver!
JaCkie says
This would be pretty amazing for my house. We just moved into a house that was a former daycare so basically every inch of it is covered in 30 years of kids dirt and snots!
