I was really looking forward to using this mop and getting rid of my other wet mop. Every time I use this mop I squeeze the trigger once and then have to wait for it to release and it takes forever! It is such a waste of time and money for that matter as it was quite a bit to spend for a mop. I have even checked to see if something was blocking the mechanism and there isn't any blockage. Very Dissapointed and I can't even return it at this point.
I bought this mop to clean my laminate, ceramic tiles, and linoleum. Used for what it was designed for, I love it. Easy to use, easy to clean, washable pad -- all good.
However, this weekend I found my preferred use for this mop. I was spring cleaning and had got to the dreaded washing of the walls. I thought I would try my mop for this task instead of a bucket and cloth. I held my mop parallel to the wall and sprayed on a solution of water and vinegar. I then "scrubbed" the walls using the pad. It worked really well -- I could go right up to the ceiling, into the corners, around my door and window frames, and along the baseboards. I will never wash my walls again with a bucket and cloth!
This mop is excellent....got new wood laminate floors and used this to clean with and it did great...got into all the corners and sides and covers a big area fast...love that you can put whatever solution you want in it. I even bought a couple pads for it so I can continue cleaning when I'm washing another one. Highly recommend this product...and this coming from a clean freak!
My husband bought me my Rubbermaid Reveal the other day and I just used it. The ease of this product is unbelievable! Load your favorite cleaner in the bottle, along with a little hot water and "snap" the bottle down in the base, hit the trigger a few times to get the sprayer going and WHAM! Your good to go. It's easy to use, gets in tight spaces and a huge water saver. Would I recommend this product? Absolutely. You wash the pads... No having to buy special pads or cleaner. I love it.
I love this mop. I usually clean my floor on my hands and knees. I got this mop because I though the pad and swivel head would allow me to clean as throughly and with as much pressure as I do on my hands and knees. I found this to be true, and the spray nozzle was a bonus! This works perfect on my laminate hardwood floor because I can control the amount of moisture I put on it. I really do love this mop and would recommend it to anyone. Totally worth the price to me.
I am very frustrated with this product. I bought it some time ago but didn't get around to using it until now. First the a sprayer wouldn't work at all. I looked all over the packaging for some directions. There were none. Went on line and tried removing the little plastic nub as suggested. Now it sprays and leaks all over the place. I put the nub back on but it won't stop leaking all over. I'm extremely disappointed. I trusted Rubbermaid. I had even bought an extra pad. Now I'm going to have to go through a ton of receipts to hopefully find out where I bought it so I can return it.
Quick Review: Rubbermaid Reveal Spray Mop. Was a toss-up between this or the competition. This one won out because it was less $ in my immiediate area. Actual use. Once I got the plastic off and the cardboard off the head, filling the bottle was easy. I used ZEP floor cleaner in the bottle ((filled bottle 3/4 full and still had 1/4 bottle left when done - put in spray bottle after) I'm not sure how many sq.ft of hardwood is in my place.... maybe 1,000+ (bedrooms, livingroom, dining area, hallway, bedroom, computer room, tv room, part of basement room). Vacuumed all areas before using the mop (good thing, one area I forgot to vacuum- had to deal with wet lint). Took longer having to move some furniture than mopping/polishing the floor. Spray...clean area, Move to next area...spray, repeat. Pad just glided over the floor. Stuck nicely to the velcro on the head without curling or peeling off as I went over the floor. If it looked too wet, just went over it a few more times. First time in years the floor has gotten a good polish, usually spot-clean and vacuum only ((have you ever tried cleaning 1,000 sq.ft of hardwood with a spray bottle and a microfibre cloth that keeps bunching up?) Once all the floors were done, just peeled the microfibre head off (still to be washed, will wash with next load of rags I think and hang dry). You need to get a good grip to peel this off, I like that. Rinsed out bottle with hot water and sprayed hot water through sprayer once done ((just to minimize the chance of clogging)) Hung spray mop up on a nail with the ever so handy metal hook, again way nicer than the typical hole in the handle or handle cap with hole in it. As for problems with the head or sprayer, none so far. So far from actual use, I'd say it's made a strong first impression 4.5/5 Lastly, this isn't a comparison against the competitions mop. I'm sure it's wonderful too. The Rubbermaid reveal simply won on price and the fact I already have the competitor for dusting cloths.
i was really excited about getting this product, i always heard about other products but waste too much money for chemicals and pads.. well i was about to give up on this product after 15 minutes i couldn't get it to spray so i came to the website and read some reviews and found my answer... Press the bottle down an spray worked instantly... after that product worked great love it would recommended it... but i do agree that the company needs to add more direct directions on how to perform the reveal....
I would recommend this to a friend!
