| I have to say... I must be lucky or something. I have never had a problem with my swiffer wet jet -- except the time I put a pad on upside down... or should I say downside up :) I rarely fill out these review things, but I think only the angry are reviewing this product, so I had to write. I LOVE the product. It is true, you have to get up as much free roaming dirt and particulates as possible before using it. I use the regular swiffer first and a dustbuster occasionally (I bet the combo swiffer with the vacuum would work great). If you do that and you don't have a huge mess to clean, this thing works great. It does leave chemical on the floor, which will spot on shiny tile, but for matte tile and other sealed flooring, it works wonderfly with NO build up -- it doesn't smell bad either. The batteries last a long time. The cleaner does too if you don't spray it all over the place -- a little goes a long way. Foe the people who worry about "disinfecting" the floor... you are nuts. One stroll across the floor and the bacteria/viruses are BAAAAACK, and who eats off the floor anyway... babies maybe... good for their immune systems, I say. FYI Steam cleaning the floor doesn't kill anything. I have one of those too, this is better. I have written enough! Get one and try it! |
MODIFIABLE!!!

This product was 3.5 stars, until I realized I don't have to use only their cleaning solution and pads! Now this product is awesome!!! It has always worked better than a mop, of course. But now it works better than it did originally!
#1- I bought a better, reusable, cleaning pad (from my local grocery store) that sticks to the wet jet. The pad is more absorbable, so it doesn't leave a layer of dried solution all over the floors.
#2- The cleaning bottle of solution that "can't be opened" actually can be! All you need is a pair of pliers and the top screws right off. Put your favorite/cheaper cleaning solution inside and the top screws right back on. |
Granted, It's Not As Good As Sex, But...

My first Swiffer Wet Jet finally broke down after three years of use, not bad for a product that you can buy here for $18.99, and usually find even cheaper in stores.
Since I live in Guatemala, I had to wait months for a new one to arrive. Now, I am the furthest thing from a "neat freak," (as mom would readily attest) but I certainly did miss it.
Although, only when I walked...
Even though I had to pay an extra $26 for shipping and customs, it was still an incredible bargain.
Not only are my floors finally clean again, but I don't procrastinate doing them like I did when I only had a useless old mop.
While waiting for the Wet Jet to arrive, once I did try smearing filthy putrid water from a mop bucket, and I swore never again. I just let my floors get dirty until the Wet Jet finally came.
The criticisms I have read here are ridiculous. People actually complained because they have to sweep the floor before they mop?
How lazy can one be?
I would hate to see the filth on their floors if they never even sweep before they mop!
Yes, the cleaner does spray out a few inches in front of the mophead. I couldn't imagine wanting it any other way. If you are trying to hit a particular spot, just step back a few inches, dude.
Duh...
It is best to first sweep with a broom, then go over the floor with the Swiffer sweeper which statically attracts hairs and fine particles that the regular broom misses, and then finish with the Wet Jet. Three passes, but mopping with the Wet Jet is just as easy as sweeping - no bending, no wringing, no mess.
Just put it to the barefoot test and you'll be amazed. Walk around before and after it dries, and you will cannot help but see and feel the difference on the soles of your feet.
I also have some allergies, but the cleaner doesn't bother me at all.
The only negative is that you can go through the floor cleaner quickly, and it is not cheap. However, the pads are hardly a significant expense.
Thank god I got my Wet Jet back!

| 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. |
I love my Swiffer.

| I can't believe all the bad reviews for this product! A Swiffer sweeper and a Wet Jet are all you ever need for clean floors! My mother is a clean freak and I hate cleaning, but we both love Swiffer products. Most of our house has laminate flooring. The bathrooms have tile. Unless the floors are really dirty, we can clean the whole house with a single cleaning pad. A bottle of cleaning solution lasts several weeks and we clean our floors about twice a week. There is absolutely no need to use tons of solution. I also have extremely sensitive skin and a lot of allergies, and don't find the cleaning solution to be any more offensive than other cleaning products. In fact, it isn't nearly as irritating as most cleaning products. The solution also dries amazingly fast. By the time I am finished cleaning the last room, the rest are dry already. My mother has compared the Wet Jet and old fashioned floor scrubbing on her hands and knees. She has found the Wet Jet to be just as effective. Maybe a household with big dogs and/or children will have harder to clean floors, but we have 2 teenages, 3 adults, and 2 indoor/outdoor cats and Swiffer products do a fine job of cleaning the house to my mother's high standards. |
