The answer to this is yes! The Swiffer cleaning solutions feature chlorhexidine Diacetate, which is essential for fighting germs and bacteria. We think your mop should also be easily maneuverable for cleaning under furniture and around corners. Plus, it's a huge bonus if it's adjustable, especially if household members of varying heights will be using it and for mopping hard-to-reach places.

This electric scrubbing mop from Bissell will put your grandmother's old floor scrubber to shame. It's got a sleek design, is corded for non-stop power and comes with one set of soft and one set of spinning and scrubbing washable and reusable microfiber pads . To safely clean and scrub all sealed and finished floors, simply fill the tank with water and some of the included Bissell floor cleaning solution. 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. 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.

SWIFFER COUPONS

We updated this story in April 2023 to add new recommendations and more details about how we tested .

Sponge mop: These mops come in handy when cleaning up a spill since sponges absorb a lot of liquid fast. Most sponge mops are also slim and lightweight, making them a good option for someone who finds other types of mops too heavy or awkward to use or doesn't want to deal with disposable or washable pads. They come with either a roller or butterfly wringing design, and can require a fair bit of strength to thoroughly squeeze out the sponge. Be sure to rinse them well before storing them to control germ growth and odors. Once the sponge mop head gets too dirty to use or it falls apart, it’s time to replace it. Long-Term Expense: Since the mop pads are disposable and cannot be reused, the cost of replacement pads adds up over time.Disposable vs. washable mop pads: Disposable mop cloths are convenient and take the worry out of wondering if your mop is sanitary. However, you will need to buy refills when you run out. Washable mop cloths and heads can be used over and over. Simply toss the reusable cloth in the wash and dry per the directions. This mop head is quite large though, which can make it difficult to do detailed cleaning on floors. But, we found that its multiple attachments and handheld feature make up for the size of the main head. Overall, this mop's performance made it a strong rival against many of the other name brand steam mops we tested. Two-in-one style mop to efficiently clean the floor three times faster– Swiffer 2-in-1 Mop and Broom Floor Cleaner 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.

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. While the initial Swiffer PowerMop starter kit is affordable, the ongoing cost of replacement pads can add up over time. 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. Also, there is no battery level indicator on the mop, so the batteries are likely to run out mid-cleaning when you least expect it. Bottom Line: Is the Swiffer PowerMop Worth Buying?You might know the Swiffer Sweeper is a popular option for both wet and dry mopping, and it definitely lived up to the hype during our testing. This lightweight mop is a breeze to set up, and you can’t beat the convenience of simply throwing away the disposable cleaning cloths when you’re done. (It took us just five seconds to remove a cloth and throw it away.) Overall, we think you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better mop at such a budget-friendly price.
