Would adding a small amount of Dr. Bronner's negatively affect the performance of the mop? I just love the scent!

If Dr. Bronner's is not oil-based, it would probably be OK. Start with just a few drops and see how everything looks and washes up. If you have an oil-based scent, however, I don't think it would be good for the machine or the cleaning process. Good luck!

I wouldn't add anything. mine worked fine, after I added some cleaner to the water, it stopped working.

It really cleans it nice and smells terrific but I don't do it on a regular basis because he (my little 8lb Maltese) hates it sooo much and just won't sit still long enough for me to clean it well. It did work well the first and second time I used it. I don't know if there is a trick to doing it but I sure don't enjoy doing it and neither does he. I would say though that if you are consistent that it would work better & better each time. And if there is a easy way to do it, please let me know!!!!

I have used my mop about 6 times and a big chunk is out of the sponge part. I still think it is a great mop; mostly for the brush that sticks out in the front for scrapping hard stuck on spots off the floor. I bought a replacement sponge ( not that expensive) and will replace the original one soon. I also like how long the broom handle is as I am tall with long arms and it handles well for me. I only use my broom on smooth wood floors.

With my older Braun shaver I have found that when the cleaning cartridge runs down, I can add some isopropyl alcohol and continue using it. Does anyone know whether this will harm anything?

It depends on the finish on your hardwood floors. We have a coat of polyurathane on ours that is quite old with bits of the real wood exposed. The steam mop didn't work on our floors because it "lifted" more of the polyurathane off the floors. I was not real pleased with this "newer" version of the Smart Living Mop. It doesn't work as well as the old one I had and I was unable to return it to the company. I'm stuck with it and will make the best of it but wouldn't recommend it. Good luck.

I used it on mine and it seemed to do pretty good, better then a swiffer mop, by the time I'm usually done the pads are shredded. At least with the hot steam you know it's getting into all the nooks and crannies and killing whatever might try to grow in there.

I never tried this with a steam mop but routinely use Fizzion in my Hoover Floor Mate . Love the fresh sent and great cleaning of Fizzion . Hope this helps !

You are welcome. I just ordered another pad, so I don't have to rinse it out mid-way through the mopping. Love this mop!

Yes, I did. I used the cleaner in a more diluted form, then the shine. My floors were Pergo. They were beautiful and lustrous. You should try it. I was getting my former house ready for listing and tried it on 8 year old floors. I sold the house in a week!

I just got mine, but we bought my mother this mop about 5 years ago from bed, bath and beyond and she is having no problems. I just mopped my floors yesterday, I wish shark would of included like a scrubber pad type thing. If you have like greasy dirt on floor, this mop will not clean it, I have to manually remove the grime. I found spraying a little floor cleaner on the dirty area first helps. Good suction on the broom vacuum part.

I read that too before I purchased it and was a little leary, but I haven't any proablems. I have all hardwood floors and this mop spins out so dry that I can damp mop alot more often. I feel like the floors are much cleaner than just vacuuming. The mop heads rinse out so well I've not had to replace the first one.

Mine works some of the time! I just use a spray bottle of bona and spray in front of the mop

I just got one and used it on my slate. I love this thing. This sucks less than most mops.

Hi there, No that is not normal which is why I wrote a review and provide a less than stellar score. This mop does not pick up dust and hair the way that one would believe it should. I have used this mom wrt and dry; the same outcome.

In my experience, you can spin the mop almost too dry. I have actually had to dip it back into the water because it dried out too much. You cannot go wrong with this mop. It is the best thing I have ever used for mopping floors. The only thing I am not totally in love with is the length of the handle. Even that is fixed now as an extension is available that makes it an ideal height for me at 5'5". There are also replacement mop heads available. I was able to mop my entire house in a very short time due to the convenience of this mop and how dry it left the floors. I'd give it 10 stars anyday!!!

FYes. I recently did but be aware it is not scent less. So far I have had no problems and I am allergic to everything! I ALSO MADE shampoo and body wash. Good luck!

That's a strange question. It would be different for every batch. I love the stuff, and love the smell.
