Yes.The steam mops can sanitize without any difficulty.

But you need to remember that sanitizing does not happen the minute you hold the steam down on the floor.You have to keep it focusing on the portion of the floor for a few seconds,like 15 to 20 seconds.Once this is done,you can be assured that the floor portion is completely sanitized.But if you put away the steam mop once the dirt is removed off the floor then sanitization will not have happened.

So,steam mops can sanitize but it needs a little time.That is all.
