I am so pleased that I purchased this Floor Mop. I read the reviews and it seemed to be what I wanted for a reasonable price. It cleans the wood floors so well. I purchased the more durable pads for our brick floor. It worked great. A sponge mop just didn't get my floor clean. We have lots of traffic in our home. I have a total of 8 pads so I can switch them when they get a little too dirty. I through them in the washing machine right after and they come out clean.
