Would've given 5 stars, but....

The concept is fantastic! I have hardwood floors throughout my house, I don't like battery operated mops and steam is not good for hardwood, so the Reveal was the best option. I fill it with my favorite floor cleaner and away I go. Perfect!
The only flaw is the assembly issue. The head of the mop is designed to be removed from the handle -- why?! Don't know. This should be a permanent flexible assembly, not detachable. The first time I noticed the problem, I was applying a fair amount of pressure to the mop. When the handle detached from the head of the mop I ended up with a big gash/streak in my wood floor - not pretty. This has happened several more times and has gotten progressively worse. The head pops off every other stroke with minimal pressure. A real pain!
I like everything else about the mop, so at this point, I plan to drill a hole in the assembly and screw the pieces together so I can use it without having to put the head back on every other stroke -literally.
Perhaps Rubbermaid will come up with a better assembly solution, apparently all of the other mop makers seem to know how to avoid this problem.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I can't believe how well this mop works! I've had no problems, and it makes cleaning so easy. My son doesn't mind cleaning his bathroom floor! No need to use brute strength (that would break any mop)! Just spray a bit more liquid and let it work. The shape of the mop head makes it easy to clean in corners. The washable pads are wonderful - no wasteful garbage!! And I can prepare and use any cleaning liquid. Thank you!!

Love it!

Thank you. I had a Swiffer and hated it. I love this one. It is great that you can use plain water or add detergent. I use it daily to pick up everything. I use a steam cleaner once a week for a deeper cleaning. It is so easy to use and is very maneuverable. The reuable pads are a selling point.

Very disappointed
on May 28, 2011
Posted by: Spike
I was so excited to have an easier way to clean my new wood floors, but the first time I tried to use the Reveal, the solution leaked straight out of the bottle onto the floor! The sprayer worked fine, but the water/vinegar just poured out, so it didn't really matter if the sprayer worked or not! I'm taking this thing back and getting a regular mop. The Swiffer was a waste of money too - I'm done with gadgets! And I'd like to know where the "detailed instructions" are for this mop on your website.

I jut bought my Reveal a little more than two weeks ago. We purchased it, to have cleaner floors for our 16 month old grandson. We typically use it two to three times a day. Just this morning, the pump trigger broke, and suffice it to say, I'm not too happy. I think at this point, I am going to invest in a steam mop, since it is more sanitary, and much more durable.

Tired of poor quality

I loved this mop the first few times I used it, then the head started falling off. I can't even get 5 square feet mopped before it falls off at the swivel joint. I can't mop against cabinets or appliances; the head fall off. It's too bad, I was really excited about this mops potential!!!

Design Recommendations

As a long-time Swifter user, I was thrilled with Rubbermaid's concept of a renewal mop. The Reveal mop worked well for several weeks, but the spray bottle did not last long. The bottle collapses with extended use and the sprayer no longer works unless I remove the bottle and unscrew the cap to allow more air into the bottle. I believe this may be corrected if the bottle was designed with a ridged plastic instead of the flexible plastic. If Rubbermaid designed a new bottle and sold it as a replacement part - I would purchase the bottle and continue to use the Reveal mop. Otherwise, I will discard my Reveal mop and buy the Libman mop which does not seem to have this problem.

Do you love to go barefooted in your home? If so, you want the Rubbermaid Reveal Spray mop. You can use what ever solution you want; and, it dries fast. I tell you, your floor never felt so good to the soles of your bare feet! This mop actually makes mopping a joy. You will find yourself actually looking forward to mopping your floors and then; just for fun, rubbing your bare feet on the floor just to feel how nice and clean it is!!! The Pad is washable; so, no worries there. Just one point of importance. If you machine dry the pad, DO, NOT, USE, FABRIC, SOFTENER, SHEETS!!! This is because fabric softener sheets will eliminate the static charge that is used by the pad for it's pick up power. Can't beat this mop for sure. Run this mop over your floors, and, you'll enjoy going barefooted all over it; (the floor that is)!!
