I have used the Swiffer Sweeper for decades on my hardwood floors, but I put off buying the Swiffer Wetjet floor mop when I first saw it, thinking I would not use it on the hardwood. Then the realization struck me that we do have tile in our bathrooms and in the entries, so when I decided to buy the Wetjet mop, it was primarily for the tile floors. However, because the box says it is safe for hardwood floors, I started using it occasionally on my hardwood floors, and I love it.
It is so much easier to mop with the Swiffer Wetjet mop! Because it sprays the cleaning solution in front of the mop, I don't have to carry a bucket or spray bottle and I can control the amount of liquid on the floor. Therefore, I am able to just damp mop the hardwood. I am concerned about using any chemicals on my hardwood floors so I only use it when necessary to kill germs and bacteria. It does seem to dry pretty quickly which makes me feel more comfortable using it on the hardwood. As for the tile, I do use more spray and get it really wet. The active ingredients in the solution are Didecyldimethylammonium Chloride (0.0399%) which is a disinfectant and Chlorhexidine Diacetate (0.0133%) which is used to sterilize surgical instruments.
We walk on floors and lots of stuff is tracked in from outside.
Frankly, who knows what gets tracked onto the floors. We do have lots
of birds, squirrels and wild bunnies in our backyard. Those creatures
just seem to do foul (or fowl) things and act like animals without concern
for keeping an area sanitary. No doubt, we walk right through "used"
areas without even realizing it and track it inside.
When I used the Swiffer Wetjet last week on the kitchen hardwood floor, I had to laugh when my husband came in and commented on how clean everything smelled.
The Swiffer Wetjet Floor Mop
The sprayer is battery operated. The initial start-up kit includes batteries, the mop, a bottle of the cleaning solution, and some mopping pads to get you started.
You do have to put the mop handle together after unboxing it. There is a cable running through it that connects the button on the handle to the sprayers in the mop. It is very obvious how the two pieces of the handle connect to each other.
This video shows just how easy it is to get started. I'm not sure why her Wetjet mop didn't have the pre-installed wire running through the handle, but otherwise, it is a great demo video.

Great review. I am a big fan of Swiffer products
ReplyDeleteI have one in my kitchen and it's ideal especially for quick pickups and wiping doggie paws off the floor. Hubby is steamer fanatic with the floors, and I'm a quick wet-jet swiffer gal for those needed times - although I have washed the entire main level with it too. I remember the days I used to only wash floors on my hands and knees, getting every corner perfect - I'm a bit more chill now (and this body simply can't do it any longer of course!)
ReplyDeleteWe love our Swiffer Wet Jet, too! We use it primarily on our hard-to-clean textured kitchen linoleum floor (ugh!) and our tiled bathroom floors. After reading your review, I may try using it on our hardwood floors as well!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a winner to me! Thanks for sharing this with me!
ReplyDeleteVery timely ! I wondered if the mop was really suitable for hardwoods … thanks for the review!
