I NEVER write reviews, but I had to on this item. It is, BY FAR, the best mop I have ever used. I have Pergo flooring in my kitchen and every single mop I have used (and that includes the one they sell you when you purchase the flooring)has only streaked the floor. This mop is incredible. I also have parrots and they eat in the kitchen with us. If the food is not cleaned up immediately, it will harden on the floor and usually has to be scrubbed. I don’t know what it is about this mop, but with only a slight amount of pressure, even the dried on food comes up. I highly recommend this product. I also thought that for the price, it would not last that long. So far, so good. I’ve had mine for 4 months and use it twice a day (because of the birds). I am now ordering one for our basement and to take to the houses I clean.
