Glad I perservered
on March 1, 2012

Once I got it to work it was convenient and easy to use. Rubbermaid certainly could have cut down the frustrations by including instructions for activating the spraying mechanism. I do appreciate being able to use the solutions I make myself and not having trash each time I mop.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just bought the rubbermaid reveal wet mop. I couldn't figure out how to get it to spray. I called customer service and they suggested I fill the bottle with hot water and run the cover of the bottle over hot water and this worked. The customer service was excellent!! Thankyou.

Reveal Spray Mop- only needs one thing.
on March 25, 2012
Posted by: Evelyn
I also purchased the mop because I am tired of the Swiffers. We have 4 dogs and 3 cats with hardwood or tile floors throughout the house. Because all of our animals are rescues, we do a lot of cleanup and the other mop just didn't cut it. The Reveal has been wonderful- I have them in various rooms with different cleaners in them. I can add warm water and bleach when needed and don't need to buy expensive (or any, I tend to use vinegar) products.
As for it breaking, I broke one on accident but haven't had problems otherwise. I think this may have been because I scrubbed too hard with it. Which leads me to what it is lacking.
A scrubber. I would love to have one for those areas that a mop just won't get up. I have extra mop heads which I throw in the wash with the towels and things and they come out great. I would love to be able to do the same with a scrubber.

Rubbermaid Reveal

I just recently purchased the Rubbermaid Reveal for my office. My employees and myself like to have the office clean. I was very disappointed in the product. The mop handle broke and there is not a way of fixing it. I understand now why Rubbermaid sells the mop handle separately, but I will not be replacing it and I do not recommend this product to anyone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

hard to get spray!
on April 20, 2012
Posted by: readreviewfirst
I have to second the comment about the spray. I did not read the review before I bought this either, as Rubbermaid is such a big brand and I never doubted that I would have a problem with it. I bought this so I could use the natural cleanser I like even thought I already bought Swiffer wetjet which I never have any problem with. I found there was a mistaken in either the design or the manufacturing of the handle of this Rubbermaid mop, normally I have to wait for minutes before the handle get to the original position for the next spray. So I could not use this mop at all. Rubbermaid really needs to look into this!

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....

Great first impression. solid 4.5/5

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.

Reveal Mop

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!
I would recommend this to a friend!
