Swiffer Sweeper 2-in-1 Mops for Floor Cleaning, Dry and Wet Multi Surface Floor Cleaner, Sweeping and Mopping Starter Kit, Includes 1 Mop + 19 Refills, 20 Piece Set

Product Information

The Swiffer WetJet boasts the same convenience as the beloved Swiffer Sweeper, but it offers more cleaning power, thanks to its on-board cleaning solution. In our testing, we found that you can spray the solution using a button on the handle, and then use the disposable cleaning pads to trap dirt and grime on your floor. While you'll need to apply pressure for tough stains, the starter kit comes with two styles of mopping pads for targeting different spills, stains, and messes. Ease of cleaning: We evaluated the ease of cleaning the mop and preparing it for a fresh use, by either wringing out the wet mop, squeezing out the sponge, or replacing the cleaning cloth. Well, although another customer came up to claim that they had lost two cats from the same liver failure issue, this rumor was squashed by the manufacturing company because they do not use such an ingredient in making the Swiffer mops cleaning solutions.

The most effective type of mop is the one that works best for your specific floor — there isn't a one size fits all solution, and each type of mop on the market has its own advantages. To keep your mop sanitary, clean the pad regularly, preferably after each use. Many of today's mop heads are machine-washable, which makes it easier to keep them clean. There are two types of hard floors which are then finished and unfinished storeys. The Swiffer mops are entirely safe for the finished floors such that you can use either wet or dry moping options.Another option is to get a mop with disposable pads, which you'll throw away after each use. Berry notes that disposable wet pads are designed for use in one room before it's time for a new one. Requires Batteries: The spray function runs on AA batteries that can die unexpectedly mid-cleaning. There is no battery life indicator, so you need to keep extra batteries on hand. Is the Swiffer PowerMop Worth Buying? All in all, this mop is a stellar addition to any cleaning closet, and a definite favorite among those that we tested. In fact, we thought this mop was pretty close to perfect. You can count on it to be a great option for all floors in any home, thanks to its versatile and gentle cleaning pad. Bottom line — the Swiffer PowerMop is worth buying if you value convenience, but the cost of replacement pads adds up if you use it frequently. The unfinished hard floors are quite sensitive and can easily get damaged when exposed to a high level of wetness. Such floors only accommodate the Swiffer mops that have the dry cleaning clothe pads.

Electric spin mops, like our recommended Bissell, use two rotating microfiber pads to scrub floors with either plain water or a cleaning formula that you dispense from the appliance. The pads are machine washable and reusable and can even be used dry for buffing floors to a shine. Replacement heads: With repeated use over a long period of time, mops become dingy and may lose their effectiveness. You may want to consider a mop that has a replaceable head option so that when it’s time for a new mop, you can replace the head rather than the whole mop. Thanks to the intuitive design, you'll have no issues getting into crevices with ease, or preparing it for a fresh use. We liked that you can wring the mop out by pulling it taut and then twisting it against a ratcheting mechanism on the handle. The mop is quite heavy when wet and it may be a bit too hardy for smaller homes, but it's ultimately a durable product that's built to last. For anyone looking to add a heavy-duty cleaning tool to their collection, we think it's a great choice. The kit comes with one sweeper cloth, eight sweeping dry refills, one battery charger, and one replaceable filter. The mop is quite light in weight for portability. In our recent test of 11 models, this H11 Max from Dreametech was tops in our ease of use tests. It earned a perfect score in six of our eight ease of use categories, and was easy to maneuver around furniture and into tight corners. It weighs almost 11 pounds, but was easy to push because it's self-propelled. During our performance tests it ran for 36 minutes on a single charge and cleaned up spilled ketchup without leaving any streaks behind or causing bigger messes on our test floor, though a few drops of dirty water did dribble out when we lifted it off the floor.That said, it has limitations. The pads aren’t absorbent enough to mop an entire gallon of spilled milk, and mops with washable, reusable pads are more economical for weekly deep cleaning.

Sponge mops: These are very absorbent, but not typically great for use on any floor that's sensitive to moisture. You'll want to steer clear of them if your space mainly has wood floors that you're looking to spruce up on a weekly, or everyday, basis. Leaves Debris Behind: The pads do not absorb larger pieces of debris like dirt, hair, and crumbs well. You need to vacuum or sweep before using the mop. The answer to this is yes! The Swiffer cleaning solutions feature chlorhexidine Diacetate, which is essential for fighting germs and bacteria. The Swiffer PowerMop weighs just 4.5 pounds. It’s lightweight and easy to push and pull across floors. Compared to competitors like the 5.2-pound Bona spray mop, the PowerMop’s lighter body makes cleaning less tiring on your arms and wrists.Mop head width: Mops with a larger head can cover more ground and help cut down on cleaning time but may not be able to navigate corners and smaller spaces as easily as a more compact mop head. One of the standout factors of this mop is its telescoping metal handle, which felt substantially more heavy-duty than most of the other options we tested. We also loved that it can extend up to 70 inches, making it an amazing option for a household with several members who want to help with chores. Just know: You'll want to put the microfiber pad in the washing machine to clean it in between uses. Unlike any mop we've ever seen, Melissa Maker's Maker's Clean mop is the first real innovation in traditional floor mops in years. If fact, we were so impressed with how it tested for us that we gave it a Good Housekeeping Best Cleaning Product Award. The mop head is taco-shaped, so it not only cleans flat surfaces with your favorite spray floor cleaner, but it squeezes into narrow spaces, like between the refrigerator and the wall, or around the toilet. The bottom edge fits perfectly into the 90-degree angles of stair treads and risers or along baseboards and floors. The Swiffer Sweeper Starter Kit comes with 10 disposable pads—seven dry pads and three wet ones—and you can buy more at any big-name retailer. While buying replacement pads does add to the lifetime cost of the flat mop, the product is safe to use on all floor types and cleans tight areas easily, so you'll likely find lots of uses for it. We found that it’s best for smaller messes because the design isn't heavy-duty. It also wasn’t a top performer during our dry-mopping tests, leaving behind a small pile of dust after several strokes. However, the mop swivels well and is generally just as great as you've heard it to be.
