I have a lot of hardwood floors in my home and I'm always on my hands and knees trying to spot wash dirt, grime, stickiness, especially before company visits! These wet cleaning pads do such a thorough job, I don't have to get down and scrub. The pads are thick, adequately "wet", but not soaked through and I can clean a lot of square footage with just one pad. They leave my floors with a new shine, picking up all the grime from dirty shoes, spilled juice, even dried dog drool (thanks to the St Bernard in our family).
