This is the second Reveal we have had in the past year. Both have broke off at the head. The first one I thought was misuse because my teenage son was using it when it broke, but now I know that was not the case because this one broke at the same place while I was using it. We loved the idea of washing and reusing the pad and the fact that we could mix our own cleaning solutions. I'm now falling back on our old Swiffer that has been abused and still working, Sorry Rubbermaid, good try, but try again.
I recently purchased the Reveal Spray Mop. What a great day it was for my kitchen floor! I wish I'd brought it home sooner. It's extremely easy to use and does a excellent job. I used the cleaning solution recommended for my particular floor and the floor's never looked better. I'm happy to use a "green" method from Rubbermaid for cleaning my floors instead of using disposible pads like other companies require. Thank you, Rubbermaid, for helping to save the planet!
I hate mopping. I'd rather clean toilets than mop. But six months ago I moved into a home with wood floors in the kitchen (as well as the dining & living rooms). Quickly, it became obvious that I was going to have to get over my hatred of mopping, or live with a filthy kitchen floor.
I purchased a Reveal Spray Mop and it changed everything.
I keep the bottle filled with water, a bit of vinegar and my favorite essential oil (currently sweet orange blossom) and can give the kitchen a quick clean up every day. It's also easy to mop the whole living area, carry it to each bathroom and get the floors in them sparkly clean too.
The removable, washable and reusable cleaning pad, means I don't have to trade waste for ease. I have a second pad, and so there's always one ready to use.
Had the original reveal and loved it! Saw the new one and decided to purchase it. Since the original purchase of this new and improved Reveal, we have returned and repurchased twice. The trigger that allows you to spray keeps breaking! Ready to move on to another company!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

As my title says, cleaning floors is a breeze now after trying different mops and finally switching to the Reveal mop. the microfiber pads are gentle on all floor types but very effective. I use it on the porous ceramic tiles in the kitchen, the non porous tiles in the bathroom and the finished wood floors in the rest of the apt. My only complaints are they need to improve the trigger mechanism on the handle for the spray nozzle, it wears out after about 6 months. Other than that, its a great mop.
Where is the blue rubber ring supposed to go? I can not put it on the bottle and then attach the bottle to the wand, it simply will not click in place with the ring on. Please advise asap as I would like to try this on my floors asap. Thanks for your help.

The blue foam ring is part of the packaging and should be discarded prior to using the mop.
I absolutely loved this Mop! I had looked at other spray mops and also micro fibre pad mops and this one combines the best of both worlds!! The abaility to use your own cleaning product allows your to customized the clean to each floor surface you have in your home. The spray span was very impressive and combined with the microfibre pad my floors sparkled in no time at all! I loved the cushioned handle as well! Will deffinately be something I will have in my home for years to come!!
