Swiffer WetJet Review

The Swiffer WetJet does a decent job at mopping floors in between more thorough cleanings. The Swiffer WetJet is easy to use and quick, but doesn't do a fantastic job at thorough cleaning. I was surprised by the amount of pet hair it left behind. In fact the mopping pad didn't seem to grab any pet hair. For quick spills the Swiffer WetJet was convenient, but the expense of the pads and replacement solution is a negative factor for the mop.

The Swiffer WetJet has been around for awhile, and it is still a go-to choice for those who want a quick solution to mopping their floors. For me convenience is key. With 5 kids and a busy schedule, mopping sometimes doesn't make it onto the list because of how time intensive it can be.

The Swiffer WetJet's goal is to cut that time down significantly. And in that, it succeeds. Mopping a floor with the Swiffer WetJet is simple and easy. The trigger sprays solution onto the floor. You push the mop around wiping up dirt from the floor. At the end, you throw away a dirty mop pad, and you are done.

For me, the Swiffer WetJet does a good job at mopping up fresh messes. It also is nice for a quick mopping in between my regular mopping routine. But for thorough or heavy duty mopping sessions, the Swiffer is not my tool of choice. I was disappointed by the amount of pet hair the mopping pad couldn't pick up or attract. The extra scrubbing tool does make this flat mop a good choice for even the dirtiest of floors. However, the cost of replacement pads and solution makes it harder to justify purchasing one.
