What is the difference between the "Deep Clean Mop" and "Damp Mop" versions?
485623
There is a dust mop head and a damp mop head. the one labeled "deep clean mop" has instructions for water and the dust mop does not.My mop came with the deep clean mop and I ordered the dust mop pad separately - so far I'm very happy with both. I will try to post a photo of the packages in my review- no promises.

the deep clean cloth is like a super swifter cloth- picks up almost anything, but does not use water. The damp mop is a heavy duty cloth for damp cleaning.

The deep clean is thicker with bigger loops (think like terry cloth) on the mopping side. The damp mop I basically use for a floor cleaner, more like you would use a Swiffer cloth. I rinsed it out not long ago and don't think it would be good for Damp Mopping unless it was very light soil.

I guess that would depend on if you are just dusting them or using soap and water, use the regular mop pad when I wash walls and ceiling, but if I were just doing a dry wipe down I would use the duster pad

The professional version has a wider cleaning path and larger canister capacity. The regular one comes with a small, motorized "pet hair" brush, while the professional one comes with a "bare floor" attachment. Other than those few things, they are the same (besides color)

I think that there is no difference. I do not see the difference in the description of both models. I do not recommend this model if you intend to use on the face for clean shaving, suitable only for beard or stubble.

Don't really know the difference, but this had got to be the most powerful hand vac I've ever owned. Super strong suction. It's corded, not battery

I have used the white one on dry mode, never tried the thicker grey one, used that one only on the wet mop cycle. I made up a weak solution of water/Murphy's oil soap and it does a great job. I have a Rumba that sweeps first, then i run the Mint, with the wet thick grey cloth.

A steam mop will get out sticky/ stuck-on dirt much better (note: I have a Haan steam mop, not a Shark). You've got the heat of the steam helping you. However, I found a steam mop to be labor-intensive for just a basic cleaning. You have to fill the water tank, wait for it to heat up, and then the drag across the floor made for a lot harder work. The e-cloth mop does not let you press hard to get out stuck-on stuff. What I do is pour a little vinegar on stuck-on dirt and sometimes this will allow it to come up with the e-cloth mop, otherwise I scrub those spots by hand.

I received the DC25 today and am sending it back. There is a difference in the cleaning between the DC 17 and DC25. The company rep told me there are shorter and softer bristles on the DC 25 brush bar. Both have 220 air watts. I have frieze carpeting and it was not as fluffed up as when I used the DC17. I had used my nephew's DC 17 first and was very impressed with the feel of my carpeting afterward. The longer and stiffer bristles on the DC 17 made a noticable difference in the feel of the carpeting for me. I have 2 Lhasa Apsos so there's lots of brushing and grooming. I will buy the DC 17 Animal now. I received the DC25 today and am sending it back. There is a difference in the cleaning between the DC 17 and DC25.

I like this mop because It is damp not wet, as I mop I clean the floor boards, I bought the extension so I clean the tops of the door ways, I also use it as a dust mop on my ceramic and hard wood floors, I have used it to clean my shutters, It think it has many uses and is easy to use.

No, you mop one area then empty the dirty water, it is so much easier than wringing with your hands. I love mine!

I checked the Maas website and found no information about the difference, seems that for cleaning metals there is a crème and a liquid - personal preference as far as I could tell.

I have no idea. Replaced mop when I had problems. Seem to need one because they work terrific.

I think one is relatively self-cleaning, the other is not. I bought the NSL603 and it has been great.

Gosh, I didn't pay any attention to difference. Just like the foam for quick greasy cleanups. I use non-foam Dawn for washing sink full of dishes.

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.

Silly isn't it - maybe for the convenience of buying it together - there should not be a difference. though I bought the 5200c - it is just the unit and the cradle - almost did not see the cradle in the small box taped to the bottom of the big box. I love the mint both the dry mop and the wet mop work great - if it is cheaper right now to buy them separate I would do that - it was cheaper to buy them together when I purchased them - good luck

No dock, just a charger you plug into the side of it. The iRobot mop is different in that it cleans in the same way a swiffer would. The scooba works by first vacuuming, then spraying cleaning water onto the floor, then scrubbing, then squeegy vacuuming the dirty water up. The scooba covers about 400-500 square feet in a single run whereas the mop covers roughly 250 square feet in a run. I would compare some YouTube videos of the two to get an idea of how they work differently. I personally feel the scooba technology is better for scrubbing.
