Well, the first time I used it I have to say that I thought it was magic. I still think it is the best mop I have yet to own, however, I am wondering how long it will hold up. I agree with some of the other reviews that you really do have to buy another replacement pad just so you can mop while the other is in the laundry. With the replacement pad, it is fairly pricey for a mop, but so far I am very happy with it (I have had it for about a month).

What can a mop that doesn’t get rinsed really clean up? Unless your floor is almost spotless to begin with this is not effective at anything other than spreading the dirt around.

The other item to consider is washing the pads. I threw one of these in with a load of lights (cold wash) and it didn’t come out clean when I pulled it out of the dryer and had a not so good smell. So now I am a bit reluctant to throw these things in with clothes/sheets especially with an HE washer. They really need hot water and bleach and a load that you feel comfortable washing them with.

I didn’t have a very high expectation nor was I judgmental~ Turned out to be pretty steady mop! This is my first mop, so I don’t know what to expect from a mop! It did pick up the dirt, but I wasn’t amazed by ths product’s work! So I would give a 3 star~

The pad gets dirty QUICK. I have hardwood floors in my home, and I used this mop to clean a tiny bedroom. The mop was overcome with dirt after I was done, and the bedroom was not that dirty. The instructions say to wash the mop with water, but that did not work well.

What that means is that the mop does indeed do a good job of picking up dirt, however it is a major inconvenience that a pad has such a short usage time.

The instructions also mention that you only need to use water with the mop. Water did not work as well as using a hardwood floor cleaning solution with it. If you're looking for superior results, then don't use water.

The pad was also machine washable, so I gave that a try after I was done with the bedroom. It cleaned nicely, however the texture of the pad took a major beating, which reduced its catching power.

In my opinion, if you do intend to use this to clean your home, you're going to need about 4-5 pads which you can swap out when one becomes saturated.

You could just buy a Swiffer kit and just use the disposable pads it comes with. It's cheaper and works decently. The Swiffer allows easy switch out of pads and it is cheaper than buying pads for the MysticMop. And by the way, I was still picking up trails with the mop with a paper towel, just not as much as it would be with the Swiffer.

Beware of the five reviews for the mysticmop. Although microfiber mops are relatively new, major department stores have approximately a dozen different mops with different mechanical designs. In order to standout from all the competition, five reviews were concocted for mysticmops in order to deceive buyers about the quality of their mops. Google mysticmop and you will find that all the sites with reviews have the same five identical reviews. Fortunately the “reviews” were fabricated about a month ago so, hopefully, not too many customers have been deceived. My experience has been that most reviewers give, helpful honest reviews.
