Will an owner/user please estimate if this reusable/washable mop head is durable enough to make it less expensive than Swiffer's disposable? Thanks

Rubbermaid claims each mop head can be washed (in the washing machine) up to 100 times. It comes with three mop heads. So even if you mopped every day, one kit would last nearly a year.

It is so much better than a Swiffer and if you make your own cleaning solution, WAY cheaper in the long run. I have been using my pad (one that came with it and another I realized I needed while the other was waiting to be laundered) that I've used for 3 years (once a week user for whole house). They are both in great condition and will be useful for quite a while longer. The fact that it is taller than the Swiffer and doesn't require disposable products to use it will save a lot of $$$!

Since I've not used Swiffer products, I can only guess that the Reveal mop head is cost effective because it can be washed over and over again. And it launders beautifully. In fact, I expect the mop head to last for years.

Hi! I would not change the mop, it is great. Make it cheaper will ruin the product... The whole product is great it is... The reusable/washable mop head cleans great as you go, you don't have to scrub much as you do with other mops! Don't change it!

Yes, the 2 mop heads are reusable and extremely durable, just throw them in the washer. The mop head is extra wide so you can mop large areas quickly. You can use your favorite cleaner to fill the water container.

That is a good question. I have had mine for over 9 months--due to being a personal chef--I wash a LOT of dishes/pots/pans by hand. I still haven't needed to replace the brush head. That being said, I have looked for replacements & there isn't any. Here is probably why--as best I can see how it is constructed, it would not be as efficient with a replaceable brush. I have had many other brands--& ALL have leaked out soap---bristles couldn't withstand high temps of pan or HOT water. Being that this one lasted so far 9 mths & still going--for the $9 bucks I paid--I say it's still worth it. I will get a new one when this one is totally worn out--but it just keeps on going on strong--- That is a good question.

There is a rubber mop head that the mop sheets attach to. The mop sheets are single use but the mop head doesn't need to be replaced (maybe it would with heavy use). However, you don't "mop" without the disposable part.

MUCH better! They pick up dust that the Swiffer types leave behind. It doesn't take as long to dust. They fit into places that the Swiffer types cannot. They do not leave lint like some of the disposables do. They are washable (if desired...I just smack mine against each other...releases the dust perfectly). Their re-usability makes them environmentally friendly. I have had mine for about 3-4 months and LOVE them! Will never go back to disposables.

The Sh-mop is 8 x 15 so I am guessing no, but I like this system better than a swiffer. Scrubs better, it is washable and reuseable, it is bigger. If it gets really grungy you can take it off and rinse it out, wring it out and keep going or you can buy two and when one gets really dirty, get out the second one. Then toss them in the wash.

Do you mean, will this work in place of a mop? That's how I use it. For day to day cleaning, we use swiffer wet on our tile floor. I'll use the Hoover for a more thorough cleaning every 3 to 4 weeks.

How much better is this than Swiffer dusters and other disposable ones like that? Why?

It is super easy to replace the mop head! I take it off and wash it every time I use the mop (I've had it for about 4 years), and it's the same process with a new mop head. Here's a description of the process: There is a plastic (but not flimsy) clip at the end of the pole holding the mop head to the pole; I pull out the clip and then slide the mop head off the pole. To wash it, I also remove the plastic shaft that comes inserted through the center of the mop head. It just goes down into the middle of the mop and then I pull it out between the strings. Then I can wash the mop head and put it all back together easily, the same way. You have to make sure to pull the shaft all the way to the top of the mop head, though, usually by pushing the mop down while pulling the shaft until the mop head is secure. As a note, the shaft is a little flimsy--plenty sturdy for me, but my husband cracked one of the little pieces on the shaft when he was using it. I'm not sure how, but I haven't had any problems.

No - I don't see how that would work with this mop. The whole point for me in getting this mop was to have a reusable, washable pad, and it really does hold up well.

The handle seems substantial, it's made of metal, I have had no problems. Probably not as much need for pressure comparing it's scrubbing ability to a Swiffer.

It depends on how much dirt is being picked up, but even when I've had a mess to clean up it only takes a few rinses to get the water from the mop to run clear. So far I've found it to be a good mop- but you really must get the mophead completely wet before you can squeeze it - otherwise it's improssible to get the handle that squeezes the mophead to work. Once it's wet though, it works fine. It is slightly larger than other sponge mops I've used which makes cleanup quicker and the mophead is dense and sturdy.

Yes, It comes with 3 washable mop heads. It has a spikes on the bottom of it, so that the mop heads just sort of stick to it.

I've only had mine for a few months, but I use it daily. I have two puppies and lots of accidents. So far, so good. I like it better than the spin mop. I had one of those and the spinner broke in a short amount of time.

Mops are great. I just throw them in the wash after each use. I've been using them for a year, and not had to replace them yet.

It is best if the mop head becomes very dirty. You can quickly peel it off then rinse it off in a bucket. The starfiber material attracts dirt like a magnet. The good thing is, is that it rinses clean very quickly. We have several of the pads so we can do the entire house without having to rinse. This thing is amazing.

Or try Bona, my favorite. Bona's microfiber cleaning pads may also fit the mop and they last forever. Have washed mine about 50 times/yr over the over the last 5 years (= about 250 times), still work like new. I left Swiffer in the dust a looong time ago. Way too expensive in the long run.

I went through 3 rubbermaid mops before I discovered the Libman freedom spray mop at walmart. So far this seems sturdier. Sams stopped selling the rubbermaid one due to high returns. The o cedar one has a small pad so I did not even consider buying that one.
