You can't go wrong with either choice. If you tend to have more sticky messes on your floor, I'd probably recommend the PowerMop because of the scrubbing strips. And if you're someone who just wants to get dust and surface dirt off your floor, go with the tried-and-true Swiffer WetJet.

Don't use a Swiffer Sweeper for major cleaning jobs While a Swiffer is a great tool for everyday cleaning (especially if you vacuum first), don't use it if there's a lot of dirt or other debris on your floors. These bigger messes might be a better job for the Swiffer WetJet, or a regular mop or vacuum.

The textured pad (with a scrubby strip) attached to the mop head gathers the soil and cleaner as you pass it across the floor. In our test, the Swiffer system did a good job dissolving and removing our sticky soil with very few passes but struggled a bit removing scuff marks, requiring repeated swipes.

Swiffer WetJet Vinyl, Tile and Laminate Floor Spray Mop gives you a great clean on virtually any floor in your home. With a unique dual-nozzle sprayer, this all-in-1 mopping system breaks up and dissolves tough messes for a powerful clean.

It's easy to overuse the solution spray too big of an. Area. And then it dries before you get a chance to go over. And mop what you sprayed.

Swiffer Wet Cloths are designed not to leave a residue and should provide a great clean on virtually any floor in your home. For best results, make sure the product is suitable for your floor. Do not use Swiffer Wet cloths on non-sealed tiles.

I think they mostly move dirt around on floors. For most people, it's just as quick to get the vacuum out and properly clean floors. And I prefer to do that before washing a floor, regardless. But everyone has their preference.

Two Reasons Your Floors Are Still Dirty After Cleaning Thinking that wet equals clean, they then forget to rinse out their mop pad, resulting in a mop pad that is fully saturated with dirty water. Continuing to use the mop pad on the floor leads to smearing dirt, not lifting it.

Cleaning and maintenance Don't use anything wetter than a damp cloth – a wet mop will soak the material which can seep into and under the floor, causing it to warp and lose shape. This applies even when it comes to water-resistant laminate, such as our Audacity and Aqualock ranges.

Floors often look streaky after mopping without vacuuming immediately beforehand. Vacuuming one day and then mopping the next allows dust to settle on the floor, along with any dirt tracked in on peoples' shoes, and both will turn to muddy streaks when mopped.

Simple Instructions

1. Dry mop the floor with the microfiber mop. This will get all the loose dirt and dust bunnies.
2. Dampen the mop using warm water, then spray the solution on the mop head.
3. Mop as normal.
4. When the microfiber pad is dirty, simply rinse and continue mopping.
5. When finished, rinse the mop, and save it.

How to Fix It To avoid unwanted stickiness or floors that are not thoroughly cleaned, do not over or under-dilute your mopping solution. Always follow the exact mixing instructions on your cleaner to ensure a correct cleaner to water ratio. To remedy the stickiness or haze, damp mop with plain water.
