I clean houses. 3 of them are 2 story, historical homes with all wood floors. 2 of these customers already had a Reveal mop and the 3rd I'm trying to find one now for her. Her mop was accidentally thrown out and she asked me to recommend one for her. Needless to say, I love this product. I've used a Reveal in one house, once a week for a little over a year now. The other house, every 2 weeks for 6 months. The one I've used the longest just broke in the place everyone else's has. I figure it had its run. I was hard on it. ;) The only time I've had spray bottle problems is when I've tried to use a thicker cleaning product. I mostly just use vinegar and water though. My customer who's trying to replace her mop says she couldn't find the reveal in the stores she looked. So now I'm looking. And I'm looking for two if them. Nothing I've seen in the stores so far looks as good as the Reveal. The noticeable difference for me is the size and durability of the cleaning pad. I don't want to order online but I think I can probably find them. Hope so. It'll be a good thing to get brand new ones before they're extinct! Thank you Rubbermaid!
I've been mopping floors for over 40 years, and I love the Reveal. Before our dog passed away it was great at getting up dog hair I missed with a broom. It picks up a lot of dirt yet leaves a minimal amount of liquid behind that dries quickly.
I just bought one because my daughter recommended it. I haven't used it much yet. It would have been nice to have some suggested solutions in the packaging. Also. just a FYI. If your trigger sticks use a spray OIL. WD40 is not a lubricant. It only works temporarily.
I am currently about to throw away the second reveal mop I have purchased in the last 6 months. I should have read the reviews first. After a week the sprayer begins to fail and got consistently worse for the following weeks until it quit completely. It is useless now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have purchased two of these mops and both have been the worst mop I've purchased. The first mop I bought the bottle sucked up and I could not fill it up and would not stay securely on mop without leaking. So I thought I would try another one but it did the same thing and it also broke within two weeks after using it at the base where the handle stops. This was a lot of money wasted on what I thought was going to be a great mop.

I have had the "other" squirt mops before, but I really love that I can use the floor cleaner that I want and not stuck with a "cartridge", loving that it is refillable is a huge plus for me. The microfiber cloth is excellent, never slips and washes great. I have been using this several times a week for about 9 months now and the microfiber cloth shows no wear. I give this a good rating only because the trigger to my mop does not work well and I do plan on contacting the company about it. It worked great for about 3 months then it started to not spring back and now it almost has completely no spring back. I can get it to set itself back by giggling it, but that becomes a pain when you are mopping up the whole house. I use it everywhere, wood, vinyl, camper, house. It is a great tool for my home. I have thrown out all my other ways of mopping and this is my tried and true now! Great product, Great Concept, Makes me productive!
