Just got my Reveal mop today and it works better then I had hoped. There is nothing enjoyable about washing floors so if this mop can make it as easy as it can be, then I say, "Bravo" Rubbermaid. My only suggestion is to have a rag available to wipe overspray from walls and cabinets.
When I bought this product I was amazed on how good my floors were getting but after a month of use it broke on me I was really sad and couldn't go and buy another one cause it is kinda expensive maybe I'll have extra money to get another one
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great concept, good quality product. I love that the cleaning area of the mop head is large. Easy clean up and refilling of the bottle. I love that I can use my own cleaning solution for my wood floors and not just a pre-packaged product. Unfortunately the spray bottle is placed too high on the mop handle so it sprays out much further than I would like. I was spraying my furniture a lot instead of the floor.
I just purchased the Reveal Spray Mop yesterday & could not wait to use it. It really cleans good and gets up dirt that my old mop left behind. I would like to be able to get different mop pads for tougher jobs (in another color) as someone else suggested. I only have one complaint. The handle keeps coming off. It came off 6 times while I was mopping 2 floors.

I recently purchased this product to replace my old terry cloth mop. With the old system I would spray my cleaner, put the bottle down and mop the floor, repeatedly over apx. 1500 square feet. With the Reveal, my mopping experience was so quick and easy that I was sad when I finished!!! I certaintly won't think that mopping is unbearable anymore!
This is the 3rd rubbermaid mop I have purchased and it is the worst! I dont know if it is just my mop or a design flaw, but the plastic mop head constantly falls off! I have a cleaning business and not only invested in the mop but also in 4 microfiber mop pads too! I had to duct tape it together for it to stay - looks real professional! Also the thrigger spray is awkward - should consider an automatic trigger spray.
I always loved the idea of the swiffer type mops 'cause I hated cleaning my floors, but I just couldn't justify the cost or the environmental waste. I have had the Reveal mop for a few weeks now and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It is even easier than the others (no batteries) and the construction is super sturdy. I love the fact I can use whatever type of cleaner I want in the bottle-I have a baby just starting to crawl and being able to wash the floor and then use another bottle to rinse with plain water is awesome. I am recommending this mop to everyone I know! (my mom, sister, and best friend are already looking for one! :D )
I previously used the Vileda Flat Wet Mop System with a bucket and floor cleaner for all of my hard floor care cleaning needs. I recently purchased the Reveal to replace the Vileda System and I am 100% satisfied...
Much more convenient than filling a bucket with water and detergent... Just grab the reveal and spray and wipe! I am using the same cleaner i.e. SANI-442 from Sani Marc (Canada) which is a spray cleaner concentrate to be diluted at 2% with water. It works perfect with the Reveal System on hard wood floors, tile and laminates...
The concept of having separate spray bottles and microfiber pads is great! I will fill a separate bottle with sanitizer for sanitizing bath room floors and I will use a separate microfiber for these areas.
Now I see the Reveal System has a microfiber dust mop attachment available, making the system even more convenient... Rather than using another dust mopping tool, you can just tear off the wet microfiber pad and replace it with the dust mopping pad!
My recommendation for future microfiber pads, would be to have different colours available for different areas / applications of use. I would also recommend having a general purpose microfiber pad for regular cleaning and a heavy duty microfiber pad (with medium hardness poly fibers) for scrubbing and hard to clean flooring (grout or tile).
