Floor mopping becomes childsplay
on December 13, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So easy a child could do it? You betcha! And it's fun, too!
Straight out of the box, assembly was easy with just a couple of slide-and-click connections. The sample cleaning solution just pops in its place and once you attach a cleaning pad to its velcro-like connectors, you are ready to go.
The cleaning solution did an OK job and left the floors shiny (temporarily) and scented. It was nice to have a scent as proof of cleaning but maybe a different scent than the sample that came with my mop would be more appreciated in this household.
There are two types of cleaning pads: One for everyday use and one for scrubbing. I used the everyday pad to test out the mop so maybe the scrubbers would have made it easier to get up the dried on spots. My least favorite part of the Swiffer brand, quite honestly, is its disposability. I would LOVE to be able to use a reusable cleaning pad that I could just toss in the wash when dirty.
I have used Swiffers in the past and even have an older version of the WetJet. The new version is purple (my favorite color) and seems to have an improved sprayer. It is also weighs slightly less than my older (green) version. Not huge improvements but it keeps the product fresh.
Without even asking him to help out, my 6-year-old (who had begun hovering as soon as I started opening the box) took on the task of cleaning up our hardwoods. He easily mastered the spray and maneuvering and I had a mostly clean kitchen floor in no time. Just check out the dirt on that cleaning pad!
Mostly clean, you ask? Yup. Mostly. While Swiffers are a great convenience item and super quick for cleaning up small spills or to give a daily once-over, I would never recommend them as your only floor cleaning device or for deep cleaning. I had to press down pretty hard to scrub some dried on spots that we tested and would often accidentally press the sprayer button while attempting to scrub.
Overall, a solid 3 in my book.

Pleasantly Surptised!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Truly honest.....I was not expecting the Swiffer wet jet to perform as well as it did. I think it is a wonderful product. I clean the "traditional" way- sweep first, then mop. So obviously, I thought my floors were clean. WRONG! Performed surprisingly well on my laminate floors and I love that the liquid cleaner has a very pleasant smell....not like chemicals and not too strong. Highly recommend this product! :D

Versatile and easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the Swifter Wet Jet as it can be used on many different floor surfaces. I usually use 2 different
Methods to clean my hardwood and tile. With the Swiffer, I do not need to change mops or cleaning solutions because it is safe for all surfaces. I was leary to purchase the Swiffer at first, but I am glad I did since it now makes my life easier.

Great Shine and Lovely Scent!
on December 13, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Swiffer again to clean my kitchen floor after vacuuming up any crumbs or other particles. It is so easy to install a new cleaning pad on the Swiffer- just stick it on! This is one of my favorite parts of using the Swiffer as it removes the need for a traditional bucket and mop. While cleaning the floors, I found that it is necessary to apply pretty strong pressure to the mopping motion and dispense a fair amount of the cleaning solution in order to remove the most dirt. This allowed me to remove most spots from a dried spill on the floor. Additionally, the cleaning solution leaves the floors with a great smelling fresh and clean scent and left my floors with a nice shine. It is essential to allow the solution to dry before walking on the floors, otherwise I have found that it can leave a sticky residue. Once dry, the shine was still noticeable and the clean scent was still apparent. The only reason that I did not give the Swiffer the full 5 stars is that I have still found that it leaves some traces of dirt. I used a spray cleaning product and paper towel to test a section of the floor for cleanliness and it came up pretty dirty. However, when I am in a hurry and don't have time to break out the mop and pail, the Swiffer is my go-to tool.

Quick clean up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had a great Christmas Eve abd Christmas Day! Hosted a house full of family for dinner, and not very long after everyone had left, we had the food and dishes cleaned up, but the floors were a mess. And then I remembered that I had my new Swiffer Wet Jet. In just a few minutes the linoleum and hardwoods were clean and food-free. Super happy to have Swiffer. :)

Must have product for busy parents!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Several years ago I had the first Swiffer Wet Jet when it came out. It worked alright but I got tired of having to buy the refills. I invested in a steam mop after that. While I still love my steam mop because it doesn't require me to buy refills, I definitely hate having to wash the cloth piece used to clean the floor. If you don't wash it right away, it smells and then you have to buy new ones. When I had the opportunity to try the Wet Jet again, I jumped! I hate getting our steam mop up for quick jobs. When I got the package, I quickly put the product together. Which by the the way, was incredibly user friendly! I then half of the hardwood floors to see what it picked up. Needless to say, I guess my floor desperately needed a cleaning! While I am only rating this as four stars, my only complaint is having to buy refills. Obviously, that is how this product is designed to work so that is more of a personal complaint. I've been using Wet Jet every week since I got in the mail. It's super easy to use and you can just pull off the disposable pad and toss when you're done! I love how quick and easy it is to use the Swiffer. I definitely will keep this in my rotation of cleaning products. Any parent would appreciate this product! When time is limited, you need the quick and easy cleanup. I definitely appreciated that aspect!

Every mommy needs this...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Swiffer Wet Jet it takes the dread out of cleaning the floor. I got the Swiffer Wet Jet and had it assembled and ready to use in under 5 minutes. It comes with the Swiffer, a full size bottle of solution, Duracell batteries, and swiffer pads. Assembly was easy as it only has 3 pieces to snap together and they only go one way so you can not mess up assembly. Once it is together it is time to start cleaning. I use mine everyday and the swiffer pad absorbs the grit and grim and just does not push it around. This makes cleaning so easy.
