Just ordered a laminate floor today, trying to figure out which is the best parodic to clean it with. Is this mop similar to a Swiffer mop?

It is similar but the mop part is bigger and the material is a thicker cloth. I actually vacuum or use the dry Swiffer prior to mopping with the Bona just to get up all of the loose debris. Then you just spray the Bona on the floor and mop away!

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!

I'm not sure about laminate floors, but I love this stuff. I have wood floors with dull spots only from wear and tear. This stuff, makes my floors so nice and shiny, it really does. It doesn't last forever, but I'm satisfied with it. Follow the directions , such as make sure the floor is clean from dust and make sure you use a new mop that's only used for this product. I highly recommend this product.

Sorry I don't have laminate but I'm sure it works the same on laminate as it does hardwood floors. When the head gets dusty I just get my lint brush and run it over the mop head and all the dust/dog fuzz comes off. Good luck.

I make sure the Swiffer pad is thoroughly dampened and then spray the floor as well as I mop and proceed. I love it through it in the washer for the next go round.

Laminate is not cleaned the same way hardwood floors are as the finish is easily damaged. I only use water for weekly moping and add a little vinegar to the water about once a month. I just never feel like this floor is really clean because you are not suppose to use a harsh cleaner. I do use the Bona cleaner occasionally that came with this set. Hope this helps a little.

Personally I wouldn't use the wood cleaner on laminate flooring. I would use the Swiffer WetJet Multi Purpose Solution instead.

I have laminate and tile and it works fabulously on both of them in both mop and sweep mode. Do you mop your wood? If so, I would think this would be perfect. It leaves absolutely NO streaking and uses no chemicals and I love it. I would go with the 380 t if you have a large house. I have the white one but now wish I had gone with the black model because it covers more and charges longer. But in any case, I would buy another one of these again in an instant if this one ever quit. Saves me so much time and my floors sparkle. No more dust bunnies!

Yes, it is better because the MOP HEAD is made of a Micro fiber and particles get stuck in it. I just sweep first, no need to bring out the vacuum cleanerI have a wonderful broom from Europe with horse hair-fantastic! Have fun mopping!

I bought this mop for my hardwood floors, and I bought the mop bucket that spins the water out of the round mop head for my tile floors, that one works perfect on the tile, I add a little lemon clorox to the water and it cleans my almost white tile floors perfectly! the other one is great on my wood floors, I always go by the feedback on these items, and am never disappointed .

I have both the Scooba and the Hoover Floormate. I got the Floormate about 4 years ago. It definitely beats mopping by hand. But it still takes a lot of time, and unless you do it very slowly, doesn't pick up everything (dirt, water). If your floor is VERY dirty, as mine always was, you can spend a lot of time for a mediocre result. With the Scooba, however, there's a HUGE difference. Since the Scooba does everything for me, I clean my floors MUCH more frenquently. So they're cleaner to begin with, but the Scooba also does a better job scrubbing. This is because, at least on my floor, some of the solution gets left behind until the Scooba comes around for the next pass, so the dirt gets "soaked" and comes up more readily. With the Floormate, you can't really soak the floor unless you put down solution with the machine off, then wait, and then vacuum it up. If I had to choose, I would ABSOLUTELY go with the Scooba. I even thought about getting rid of the Floormate now that I have the Scooba, but I'll keep it around for big spills and such. Hope this helps!

Since I've not used Swiffer products, I can only guess that the Reveal mop head is cost effective because it can be washed over and over again. And it launders beautifully. In fact, I expect the mop head to last for years.

Yes. I have laminate flooring. The surface of the flooring is slightly uneven by design of the "wood grain," and vacuum will leave a slight bit of water in the deepest grooves, but I find that it still drys very quickly and I don't consider it a problem. I like the ease of using the machine. It saves time/work/money by not changing disposable pads. It saves time/work/money by not having to wash non-disposable pads. I like that you can vacuum and mop with the same machine!

As far as I can ascertain it is exactly the same model. I have purchased on Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond (an extra mop) and Lowe's (extra mop heads) and my take is that they are all the same. I cannot imagine how hard you would have to scrub your floor to break the mop. I'm thinking maybe those who have had theirs break need to clean a little more often. Just a thought. So far I really love mine and no longer use anything else. My floors gleam -- even with 8 indoor cats!

this is the best spin mop i've seen but no mop that i know takes scuff marks off. it is a round mophead and does my floors well. corners shouldnt get that dirty. i bought 5 of these for gifts. 4 of the 1.s i bought from another source only had 2 mop heads. this one has 3. they are washable also.

Well is a special Bona for laminate flooring, and is excellent for remove shoes marks, and dirt. I really think is more expensive the Bona for wood, and I don't switch but I don't think is a problem if you want expend more money. The Bona products are so good I don't think you need use the steam mop. And I think is a bad idea use the Bona whit a Steam mop. Only to don't start an accident or make the life of the steam mop shorter. I use a steam mop in the past for wood, but really the Bona make a to much better work. My steam mop is in the trash.

I use Bona laminate floor cleaner. It works beautifully. It is especially formulated for ceramic and laminate.
