[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have just recieved the Rubbermaid Reveal Spray Mop and I had to try it right away, my floors needed cleaning anyway :). While I was opening the box I already noticed the sturdyness and durability of the mop, the design looks awesome. I have used swiffer in the past and this one deffinately beats it in the cost and convenience. How amazing that you can use your own mixed favorite solutions and reuse the pads...they can be washed up to 1 times!!! Awesome!!! The microfiber pad really gets into cracks and crevices, it cleans uneven floors perfectly without scrubing them. I have uneven tiles in the hall and it did the job well. I love the side angles as they get everything along the walls. The floors dried right there and then. I will deffinately recommend it to all my friends!!! It stores perfectly, does not take a lot of space, I store it in the corner of the closet in the standing position.
So thankful for this mop! With 3 kids and 2 puppies, frequent moppings per day are a must for my kitchen...I was spending SO much money on another brand's reusable pads and expensive solutions...this has saved our family quite a bit! Plus, the microfiber pad cleans the floor better than the disposable pads, and I love using my own cleaner! I loved too that there was no assembly - pulled it out of the box, filled the botle with my cleaning solution and was good to go! Best purchase in a long time!
The mop head part, not the pad, the whole mop head part comes off in the middle of cleaning the floor. This mop is a piece of junk. I have used alot of microfiber mops, I own a cleaning business, and this one tops the list for PIECE OF JUNK! Don't waste your money!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is the best! You can make your own floor cleaning solution, wash the floor pads & NO BATTERIES. Swiffer had a great idea but Rubbermaid has made it better. Also, the mop floor base is bigger & swivels in all directions. Kudos Rubbermaid. I'd suggest buy one extra bottle & floor pad just to have on hand with different solutions.
I have searched high and low for a product to clean my hardwood and laminate floors that can easily change mild cleaner to water easily and will actually clean not just wipe the dirt around. Our dogs go in and out of the house on a laminate floor that gets mud in the texture cracks that I have never been able to clean completely with being on hands and knees with a microfiber cloth scrubbing. This mop cleans the floor textrue cracks and all. Saves my knees. I love that a seperate bottle can be used for plain water for the hard wood floor. No more changing bucket water, no more bucket! My life as a "cleaning lady" has been changed. Thank you so much!! Now I need to figure out what to do with all the other products that I have purchased in the past 20 years. Yard sale time! Thank you, forever grateful, Runner.
I bought this mop it is a great idea but, it doesn't spray properly, floor does not even get damp where you need to clean, spray is too high. Bottle does not stay in place. I have to return it. I can't keep putting bottle back in place and while trying to clean the floor
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have pergo floors - I hate cleaning them! I have tried everything since I am constantly cleaning my floors. The shark, the swifter and they didn't work. This product WORKS! I love it! It doesn't leave streaks, it is easy to use. It is cheap to fill with water or cleanser and the microfiber works well! It is also lightweight, but doesn't feel cheap. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
Let me first preface that I HATE mopping. Did I tell you I hate mopping? The thought of sticking my hand in dirty water wringing out the mop makes me shudder.
Hence, I have been using the disposable wet mop system prior to installing laminate flooring. However, since the wet mop pads are oversaturated, they are not compatible with laminate flooring which pretty much has to be almost dry-mopped.
I was instructed by the laminate installers to spray my itty-bitty microfiber mop and then proceed to clean my floor with a special hardwood and laminate cleaner – repeating the steps too many times over 1000 sq feet of laminate flooring. After mopping this way a few times, I gave up and started just spot-cleaning the dirty areas. As a result, the floor was looking a bit dirty and hazy with paw prints, foot prints and goodness-knows-what-those-spots were despite hand-and-knee mopping.
However, when I saw the Rubbermaid with a LARGE washable microfiber mop with attached spray, I knew I had to get it. Beware that the bottle top needs a lot of rinsing with warm water and repeated pushing in at the center of the spring top in order loosen its grip and easily spray after priming it for well over 30 sprays.
I managed to mop my entire house in less than 30 minutes with the floor as clean as the day that it was installed. The just-mopped area dried quickly leaving a nice clean sheen. The Rubbermaid Reveal Spray made mopping a breeze from start to finish with me throwing the dirty mop head into the washer to be cleaned. I'm going to recommend this product to my other relatives who have laminate flooring and hate mopping on their hands and knees.
