Rubbermaid Reveal Mop Review

ABOUT:

The Rubbermaid Reveal Spray Mop helps moms save more and waste less.  It comes with a microfiber pad that is reusable so you no longer have to buy disposable pads.  The Reveal also picks up 50% more dirt and dust per swipe than traditional mops.  To save more money there is a refillable spray bottle that allows you to fill with your favorite household cleaner or use plain hot water.  Best of all it takes no batteries!

It is safe to use on all hard floors including vinyl, hardwood, laminate and tile.

MY THOUGHTS:

When I got this new mop from Rubbermaid to check out, I wondered how different it could be from a other mops.  First off, there are no disposable pads to buy, no special cleaning solutions to buy, and no batteries to replace!  Pushing the Reveal mop around, I first realized how lightweight but still sturdy it is (I have broken other brands of mops like this by pushing too hard!)

To use, all you have to do is Velcro on the microfiber pad (which is machine washable) and fill the bottle with your choice of cleaning solution.  I chose a homemade one I received from Rubbermaid consisting of 1 Tablespoon white vinegar, 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil and hot water.  I admit I was skeptical with this recipe because vegetable oil just seemed greasy to me, but it worked wonders on my hardwood floors!  The Rubbermaid Reveal mop has such a large cleaning pad surface that it makes mopping go much faster and the cleaning solution sparys the length of the microfiber pad.  The only thing I noticed is that you have to be careful around walls or cabinets, as the sprayer for the cleaning solution is a few inches above the bottom and at the right angle it can spray pretty high which may get on your walls or other surfaces, although the spray is so light that it is not really going to damage anything.

Overall, the Rubbermaid Reveal Mop definitely surprised me with its durability, ease of use, no batteries or special cleaners, and the thick microfiber pad.  The pad really scrubs your floors and picks up dirt and grime (and believe me with two active boys I have a lot!)  This is a mop I would use anytime and for quick cleans, it is super easy!  I even keep the cleaning solution in the bottle already and always have a clean microfiber pad on hand so I can just grab, spray, and wipe in one motion!  I would definitely recommend this product if you have had problems with other mops in the past and since this is a Rubbermaid product, you know you can trust its reputation!
