The Bottom Line

The Clorox ReadyMop works well for in-between cleanings or as a quick mop for fresh spots and messes. Like other disposable mopping systems, the replacement pads and replacement cleaning solutions can become expensive. The Clorox ReadyMop does work well on many floor types including, tile, vinyl, laminate, wood, marble, and stone. But, for serious cleaning power, you'll need another mop.

Guide Review - Clorox ReadyMop Review

With a lot of little feet that run through my home, it's seems like my floors are always in need of a mop. Dragging out a mop, solution, and a bucket 10 times a day is not an option. Wouldn't it be nice to have an all-in-one system that could be pulled out easily to mop up messes.

The Clorox ReadyMop is designed to be that tool.

For me the Clorox ReadyMop did a nice job cleaning floors. The cleaning solution sprayed evenly with the trigger mechanism. The pads were absorbent and did a nice job of cleaning the vinyl and tile floors I tested them on. The pads had trouble scrubbing two stickier spots on the floor. I think they would have done better if I had sprayed those spots initially and allowed them to soak a little.

One of the major disadvantages of the Clorox ReadyMop and other disposable mopping systems is the cost of the refills. If my main goal is to be able to quickly mop more often, then having to use a new cleaning pad each time is going to start getting expensive.
