If you currently use the swiffer wet products, you will love this mop! It's so much easier to use and cleans without streaking up your floors! I use this with the mrs. meyers cleaning solution and my floors sparkle and my house smells wonderful!!!
this is the best mopping solution ever. The pad is wide and covers a larger area that others. It is even great for heavy duty floor cleaning. The ability to use your own floor cleaning solution is wonderful. The extra bottles that you can buy are an example of forward thinking and expand the multi-purpose use of the spray mop.. i have used the other wet mop solutions...they are ok but don't clean like this one. The ability to wash and reuse the pad is wonderful. Thanks Rubbermaid! I feel like you came to my home and designed this just for me. Obviously you've been listening to your customers!
I was a longtime Swiffer-lover and after trying the Reveal for a month, I'm happy to say I'm switching! I'm trying to be more eco-cautious and since I can reuse the mop head - it's a big plus. Also, you can use ANY cleaning solution you buy or mix yourself.
I was given the Rubbermaid Reveal as a gift from my mother when we moved in to a new home with tile and laminate floors.
I too was pleasently surprised at how well it worked. However just like the other users, I used it a couple of times fine and now the sprayer will not spray anymore.
So now I have yet another product that was supposed to be the miracle floor cleaner and it doesn't deliver.
If you have a spray bottle you can put the cleaner in it and still use the mop but then what makes this any different from all the others now?
The idea and product are on the right track. I like the way you can use your own solution in a refilable bottle. Also the clean pad being washable instead of using and throwing a paper pad away. the savings alone there is great. The downside is it is harder to push and the swivel head is tricky to manuver til you get the hang of it. I do like the taller handle. Most of the other company cleaners are to short.
This mop really comes in handy when my dogs run in from the yard, leaving muddy footprints on my floors. It's nice knowing I can use plain water rather than chemical cleaners.
I loved the product the first time I used it. On the second time I put it to work, the head came unattached from the stick/handle. I had slid the mop under the kitchen table and only the handle came back out. I had to crawl under the table to retrieve the mop head. It is easy to reattach, but since then it pops off quite frequently. The sprayer also worked well on the first use. The second time, it stopped spraying easily. I can only give one spray and then wait for it to recover before it lets me spray again. Wished I had kept the receipt and box so I could take it back! I'm disappointed because I do love the mop head size and fabric and the ability to refill with my cleaners. It just doesn't perform on a whole, in my opinion.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
