I have hardwood floors in our entire house. We have been trying to find a mop that could keep up with 3 kids under the age of 5, two adults and two dogs. I always felt like dirty water was being pushed around the house but not anymore! The spinwave is easy to use. It cleans the floors with very little force. Honestly my husband thinks that it is fun to use so he is the one who has taken over mopping which is a nice surprise!
