This mop is the best cleaning tool I have purchased in a long time! I hate mopping with a traditional bucket and mop. We have hardwood floors everywhere except the kitchen and bathroom (tile in those rooms). I use this mop every other day, since we have a large dog and we tend to track in a good bit of grime daily (especially with the rain lately). I have read that some people miss the clean smell of mopping with traditional products when they use a steam mop - I just drop some lemongrass and orange essential oils directly on the mop pad (NOT in the water container - only water in there) and it makes the entire house smell great. My floors have NEVER been so clean and it takes no time to get a deep clean with this thing! LOVE IT!
