I also just found the Rubbermaid Reveal mop and I REALLY like it. I had been using a Scotch Brite mop with washable microfiber covers, but it was cheaply made, broke when I dropped it, and I couldn't find a replacement. I've been mopping our hardwood floors with plain water in the squirt bottle and the Rubbermaid mop does a terrific job.

It is, however, wider than my old mop and doesn't fit into tight spaces. So I have to resort to using a damp microfiber cloth for those spots. Even given that, I like the Rubbermaid mop MUCH better than the one I replaced.

I, too, get excited about new cleaning products -- especially mops. (I'm concerned it's becoming a fetish.)

I'm anxious to hear how the RMaid product holds up. I've been using a refillable spray mop from leifheit for quick touch ups for a few years -- same mechanics, different mophead. I also don't like the swiffer wet mop thing. It's cheaply made and I didn't care for the cleaner's fragrance -- like it's what the makers thought how clean should smell.

I have the Bona mop which is very close to the design of the Rubbermaid Reveal mop (which I think they stole the concept from Bona). The Bona people state that the Rubbermaid Reveal lacks the fine mist atomizer spray of the Bona. Bona's is truly a really fine mist. And, I love the cleaning products from Bona. Of course, you can use the Bona products in the Reveal.

I'd be curious if anyone has had a chance to compare the Reveal to the Bona mop?

The spray of the Reveal is quite fine.... I don't know how fine the Bona's is, but I don't think it needs to be terribly fine just for cleaning the floor :o) Is it correct that the Bona mop requires you to use their specific cleaner? What I like about the Reveal is that you can use anything in it.... I think the Bona looks better quality though.

I have the Clorox mop and it looks the same. Lately the sprayer part isn't working on it. So... I bought the big package of Zwipes at Amazon and I'm in love with them. I use them for everything!

For mopping, I just drop it in the washing machine. This is the easiest I've ever had it. :)

The Bona mop cartridges were restyled in March and they are now refillable. So when you buy the mop, it does come with the hardwood cleaner (which can be used on any hard surface). However, once the cartridge is empty, you can refill it with anything you want.

There is a useful purpose for a fine mist. You want it to be spread over a large area finely so not to saturate your surface. The Reveal might have enough of a fine mist to accomplish that...I don't know cuz I have never seen one spray out the liquid. The mist on my Bona is very fine so I'm happy with it.

I did get a chance to compare the two different types of dusting heads sold by Bona and Rubbermaid (Reveal). Because they both used velcro to attach to my Bona mop, I used the Reveal one with the Bona. The Reveal one was larger but a bit harder to fit into smaller spaces. The Bona was an entirely different type material and very electrostatic. I thought after dusting all my laminate with both dusters, the Bona was slightly better as it picked up more dirt than the Reveal one.

The only thing I have noticed now that the Bona cartridge is half empty is that it is starting to cave in. I called Bona and they admitted that the first plastic they used on the refillable cartridges was too thin and this happened. They are sending me a free cartridge to replace this cartridge so that it will not depress and can be easily refillable. I'd say that is great customer service!

I'm glad you folks have offered some reviews of the Reveal and the Bona (I use the Bona wood-floor cleaner with the microfiber mop tool). Never cared for even the regular Swiffer wet/dry cloths and the poles (too flimsy). I like the way these tools now allow you to use your own cleaners, because sometimes all you need is vinegar and water or a baking-soda solution.

I am so glas to see this. I have been wondering about the rubbermaid mop. I have the swiffer and it is so expensive to buy the cleaner and pads for it. I am going to buy one this weekend.. Thanks.
