My children and pets spend a lot outdoors causing frequent messes from red clay mud to dry dirt on my floors. I was skeptical that the BISSELL® CrossWave® HF3 Cordless Multi-Surface Wet Dry Vac could handle the messes my family makes. I have tile, hardwoods, and lvp flooring and used the Bissell Crosswave HF3 successfully to clean mud and dry dirt. I would highly recommend vacuuming dry messes first before mopping as my partner learned the hard way that this can cause a bigger mess to clean up. Despite a learning curve my partner and I were able to get a great clean on my floors that was faster than vacuuming and mopping separately.
