One of the most physically demanding chores in a home that has any hard floor surfaces is the mopping. You need a certain amount of strength to get a really good clean, and it does take up some time. There are other options today though, the traditional mop and bucket is no longer the only efficient floor cleaning tool. One great development as been the Swiffer wood floor mop. It has a spray built-in that you fill with cleaning fluid and then pads that you attach and you just spray and clean across your hard floors. It is efficient, simple and quick, and takes a lot less physical effort than a regular mop. The pads are made to trap and lock in the dirt as you clean so that you are not just pushing it around.

What are reviews saying about it?

Users agree for the most part that it is very effective at cleaning hard floors, that the dirt is trapped in the pads, and that there is clear evidence of this when you look at the pad after a clean. However those pads are not reusable, and you get through them pretty quickly, so you have to keep buying them. A lot of users feel the cleanliness of their floors is good enough that they put up with this aspect of the Swiffer wood floor mop.

Another thing people like about this mop is that there are no streaks left behind and no residue. Your hardwood floors are clean and they look great too. You do not have to worry about guests coming over and seeing anything but beautiful clean wood. The light makes cleaning under tables and getting into small dark spaces easier too. There are no missed spots and the light also means you can track where the cleaning spray lands so you can clean the right area.

The Swiffer Wetjet wood floor cleaner is sleek, easy to move around and lightweight so everyone can use it. The instructions that come with it are clear and simple to follow and the cleaning solution is easy to install. The fact that it is near the top of the mop though does make it a little unbalanced for some.
