I have 2 dogs, one is boxer so with pet hair, dirty paw prints, drawl, dog water, dog food and who knows what else, my kitchen floor needed cleaning constantly. I would have to sweep then set up mop bucket with 2 separate chemicals. I can honestly say this Bissell has changed my life. I'm still wrapping my head around being able to sweep and mop at the same time!!! And there's basically no dry time. I love this product and recommend it to everybody even households without pets.
