In accordance with the steam floor mop of the present invention, by only pushing the handle of the steam floor mop, the steam can be generated and distributed to the floor brush so that the cleaning work having an effect of high temperature disinfecting and sterilization can be realized. It is not needed to power on the water pump additionally so as to supply water to the steam generator to generate the steam.
