I bought one of these mops a few years ago. It worked great, until I mopped a little to vigorously, and it broke. I purchased a new one, and it's a disaster. The water leaks out and makes a gigantic mess. I tried switching out the new bottle with the old bottle, but that did not help. I hope rubbermaid can make this right.
I love this mop. It's a great concept and I love how I can wash the pads in between uses, or have the option to rinse off when it gets dirty while mopping. I have honed travertine tile floors and it's been impossible to find something that does a great job. Especially since the only regular cleaner I use is, believe it or not is glass cleaning solution. Cleans, leaves no residue or streaks or fog. Doesn't stripnthe finish or anything and the mop is gentle enough, yet thurough enough to do the job. I'm very pleased and recommend it to my friends and family. Only flaw for me was, after about a year and a half, where the bottom of the pole met the attachment for the head rusted and broke apart, and the bottle stopped clicking I to place so I ended ip using the spray bottle of glass cleaner but that worked just fine for me. I didn't mind since the mop did the best job in the end. . But a year and a half out of a mop is great!
I bought this mop about 8 - 9 months ago. I was very pleased with the mop -- I liked that I could make my own solutions and the fact that the mopping pad was reusable. BUT, it recently stopped spraying and I have since found that this is very common. I generally find Rubbermaid items to be of quality but because of this, I will not buy another Reveal mop.
I love the ease of using the Reveal mop and have bought 3 of them. However, the only problem I consistently have is that the spray either gets clogged or the sneeze handle feels loose and doesn't work. Is there a way to avoid these problems?
Mine also had trouble with the spray after a four or so uses. Then I tried to take it apart to clean it, but the screws are hard to work. I ended spraying a bit of WD inside the handle so it would flow down. That did help a lot. Be nice if it easy to take apart to clean, or else use better seals/joints that won't foul.
