is this product an "all in one", i.e., dusts/mops and wet cleans the floor or do you have to dry mop the floor first?

You should sweep or dry mop the floor first to remove any dirt/debris before you use the Swiffer/Bissel because it simply ejects steam to clean the floors and doesn't suction, but the results are worth it!

I haven't used it because once I took it out of the box and read the accompanying information I discovered it cannot be used on unsealed floors. Misleading advertising.

I don't see gaving to go over the floor firdt w a dry cloth but it could help the steam clean to not gather up so much gunk

It steams the floor and the pad wipes it up at the same time....so "all in one".

yes it is. if you put a dust mop pad it can dust mop and if you put a mopping flat mop on it you can wet mop, using the solution you've put in the solution chamber.

No, I can wash multiple rooms with the same pad. When you are done, toss it in the laundry. But you do not need to rinse while you are in the process of mopping. Spray your product of choice directly on the floor and mop it up with the pad rather than dunking the pad itself in water.

I'm not sure what you mean by "remove" the cleaner....If you are asking if you are asking if it needs to be "rinse" mopped, the answer is no. You simply spray on and mop with the soft mop. It will dry in a couple of minutes and that's it. No rinse.

Yes you do need to add water to the product. I have had my HARDWOOD floors for about 10 years now and have always used water on them. The only thing you have to be extremely careful with is that you really really get the excess water out of your mop. Where did you find this cleaner? I haven't found it for a few years now and have started using Murphy's Oil Soap which has been around for years and pretty much the same thing as the Martha Stewart product. I really did like this product a lot but she discontinued it! :(

It is a soft mop that spins as dry (or wet) as you need. I have porcelain and Italian tiles, and it works fine. I really love it. It makes cleaning your floor so much easier.

The mop head can swivel to the other side of the mop which would be clean again. I also have the heavy duty mop which has one side that is very thick piling (is great for wood floors) and the other side is the terry cloth. I love both of them!

Well I don't need to vacuum that often now but you could certainly use the dry mop that comes with this product. It's great for dusting. But I wouldn't use the wet mop on a floor covered with pets' hair. I love this mop though. It really makes it easier!!

the same pad I use for the floors. Actuality I have multiple pads. Use one for the floors, another for windows, etc.I wash the bathroom walls - tile, all the time. This is the best mop that I ever had. Actuality it was my husband that purchased the mop and he NEVER buys anything that does not make sense to him and this did. The mop is flexible and slim - it gets everywhere and under everithing

Yes...we have laminate, wood and tile. You put the duster covers on to the mop part and mop an vacuum at the same time. We also use the swifter wetjet with the wood cleaning liquid to wash our laminate floors and bought the two pack of regular liquid for our tile floors.

I usually just rinse it out by hand unless the floor is really dirty, then I machine wash w/ regular load. Don't put in the dryer. It is a great dry & wet mop. Great for cat hair & getting cob webs off walls.

If the floor is really, really bad mop first. Just normal cleaning the Oreck will do the job alone and leave a great shine. Mopping after would lessen the result.This product works. No buyer's remorse. We have two kids, two dogs, I have big feet and don't take my shoes/boots off in the house and we would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Hi Allie....LOL.. I wondered the same thing too.. Nope.. just hold it down for about 5-10 seconds and mop away.. the steam still comes out for a few seconds on it's own and the mop part is wet enough to clean. Happy cleaning.. I love mine!!

I have two mop heads, and spray them with the cleaner. When the mop head gets dirty, I put on a clean one. I do one small area at time, and then walk an old bath towel over the wet surface. That leaves the floor clean streak free, and almost dry. The cleaner itself does not leave streaks, but if the mop does not pick up all of the dirt, there will be streaks. It is not the fault of the cleaner.

No. You have to clean your floors first, let them dry, and then bring out a nice shine with this product.

I use this product in my Hoover floormate so I clean all the floors at the same time so the answer is Yes. I would say It is not as aggressive on the tile as the wood since the PH level is different with the tile cleaner. I have both on hand so this is also not a problem on my end. It also leaves a pleasant smell after cleaning and with the machine it requires no rinse after use. I would not recommend as a simple mop and go.

It doesn't mop the floor. It is a sweeper that works really well! I have two - one upstairs and one downstairs. It picks up all kinds of messes and on the underside, there is a tray that traps the dirt. You can empty it by pushing a button on the top of the sweeper. Occasionally you need to turn the sweeper over and remove any dog hair/lint/threads caught in the brushes. I LOVE it and it is so helpful when you make a mess! :)
