Product Reviews of Swiffer WetJet Spray, Mop Floor Cleaner Starter Kit (Packaging May Vary)
Product Review: For this price, can't get any better
Summary: 4 Stars
For around $20, you can't really beat this thing. A regular wet mop is going to cost you half that, you've still got to sweep or vacuum, you've got to lug buckets around and wait an hour before you can walk on your floor, and after a few uses it's putting more dirt on than it takes off so you've got to buy another one. I've got very worn old wood floors so the pads and solution lasts slightly less time than the manufacturer's estimate but I still get a fair bit of use out of them. It loses a star because you HAVE to refill the solution with the name brand product, but you can always wet the floor with something else if you really object to paying the $4 and just use the Swiffer as a mop. The replacement pads are a bit expensive, but you can buy generic ones which work if you search around the dollar stores. It does a GREAT job on my linoleum halls and kitchen and the tile bathroom. I especially like it because I can get in all the nooks and crannies (eg behind the toilet) with it, and best of all it pickes up the cat hair which sweeping and vacuuming invariably leaves behind.Product Review: Good for hard surface floors

After we installed laminate hardwood flooring in our week-end home, we used the manufacturer's furnished cleaner. All it did was gather the dust, crumbs, etc., in a pile. Now I had a pile of dirt and the floor still looked bad.
I bought the Wet Jet and the Swiffer Vacuum and am very happy I did. The vacuum is perfect for the flooring, picking up all the little stuff that really shows on wood floors and the Wet Jet does a nice job of mopping up. It dries quickly and, if you've vacuumed thoroughly before you started, there is little or no streaking. The streaking I noticed on 50-year old hardwood floors was because the Wet Jet pad was dirty and needed replacing. It did a good job and now I have them in both of our homes. The Wet Jet and Swiffer vacuum also work well on our stone tile floors in the bathrooms and kitchens.
Product Review: Good for large or small jobs

We just got this upgraded mop after having a Clorox one which broke at the base aft 4 weeks. I like that the chemical is sprayed evenly and does not make puddles. It is also not a sticky kind. Clorox type made our marble floor sticky, this is fine. Picks up pretty much everything that our puppy leaves on the floor. I do sweep before using it (or any mop for that matter) and it does the job great. It's comfortable not too heavy not too light and works just great. I have a very sensitive nose, but the chemical does not disturb me and makes room smell nice, at least till my puppy's next escapade... I mop our entire 3800 sq ft house at least 3 times per week and it works as good as doing small jobs like muddy footies or small puddles of whatever nature. What I like about it- it works like a feminine hygiene product- sucks dirt in and keeps it in, instead of just relocating it into a different spot and just spreading it even on the entire surface of the floor like normal mops do.Product Review: Good for pushing dirt around
Summary: 2 Stars
I've got a small bit of hardwood space in my apartment, and I figured this would suit my mopping needs. It hasn't.
Even after sweeping the area multiple times prior to using the WetJet, I've found that it doesn't really pick any dirt up. What I wind up with is a polished floor with a lot of small piles of dirt everywhere. I'm even using the "special" hardwood floor solution- it isn't making a difference. I don't recommend this product for anything other than polishing a floor (and there are probably better solutions for that as well).
Product Review: Good for quick clean-ups, but not a full-time replacement
Summary: 4 Stars
My Swiffer mop is great for quick kitchen clean-ups and spills. But I wouldn't throw out the good 'ole sponge mop for the deep cleaning scrubbing and heavy-duty needs. So disregard the catchy TV commercials where the "old style" mop is stalking the house to the tune of "Baby Come Back." If you want quick spill cleans, Swiffer is great. But I'm hanging onto my Johnson & Johnson mop and my Mop&Glow as well. One warning: be sure to wipe up the self-ejecting cleaner fluid well. It can be pretty slippery if left on the floor.
