What’s nice is that there is actually a variety of cleaning solutions to choose from, including a special option for hardwood floors and several fresh scents. That said, I put a significant dent in the cleaning solution that was included, so you’ll probably find yourself needing more within a few uses. At first, I didn’t realize that the cleaning solution was just a “trial” version-full-size jars are 1.25 liters, more than double the size of the container I got. Included Accessories: Supplies won’t last longīecause this is a “starter kit,” it comes with a variety of supplies, including the aforementioned 500ml bottle of cleaning solution and pads (two regular and three “Extra Power”). In particular, when I was loading the batteries, I noticed that the compartment is made of thin plastic-one wrong move and you could easily break it. My only complaint is the materials that make up the WetJet feel somewhat flimsy in places. I particularly liked the curved handle of the WetJet, as it makes it more comfortable to hold and steer around the floor. The main living area has sealed hardwood throughout, and there were more than a few splotches and stains, many of which were from salty slush that got tracked in during the winter, marring the pretty finish. The floors in my apartment hadn’t been mopped, well, ever, so it’s safe to say they were a good place to test the Swiffer WetJet. From there, it’s just a matter of loading the included cleaning solution (simply pop into place) and sticking on one of the cleaning pads (it comes with two regular mopping pads, and three “Extra Power” pads).Ĭleaning Performance: Some elbow grease needed

Next, I had to remove the battery compartment and insert the four AA batteries that come with the mop. To get my WetJet ready for duty, I needed to connect the various parts of the handle, which clicked into place easily. When you first see the box for the Swiffer WetJet, you might question whether there’s actually a mop in there-it really is compact! Rest assured the product and its accessories are all inside, but you do have to assemble the flat mop itself. The Spruce / Camryn Rabideau Setup: Minimal To see if the Swiffer WetJet Floor Spray Mop is really the game-changer it appears to be, I put it to the test over the course of several days, using it on a variety of hard floors to determine its strengths and weaknesses-here’s what I found. With the simple press of a button, you can spray solution onto your floors, scrub them down, and be done with it. This compact, lightweight mop replacement promises to help you clean hard floors faster and with less effort-no dragging around a bucket of soap or wringing out gross mop heads. There’s no denying the appeal of the Swiffer WetJet. You can also find it as a featured product in The Best Tile Floor Cleaners, The Best Laminate Floor Cleaners, The Best Floor Cleaners, and The Best Flat Mops. Thanks to its at-home and lab performance, it is still a top choice in The Best Mops despite newer models and options being available on the market.
