Rubbermaid Reveal Mop Review and Giveaway

I love having no carpet in my house! It really helps with easing my allergies, but the downside to no carpet is the constant sweeping and mopping that I have to do on a daily basis!
Rubbermaid  has come out with a brand new mopping system called the Rubbermaid Reveal! This mop is not only an amazing way to get your floors clean, but it can save you money too! No more buying mop  refills and cleaning solutions that smell so strongly you can hardly breathe! Enter the Rubbermaid Reveal! This spray mop comes with removable and washable Microfiber pads that pick up "50% more dirt and dust per swipe" than your average mop. The "Refillable Spray Bottle allows you to customize your clean. Just mix your favorite solution with water or use plain hot water" and of course this mop can be used on all flooring surfaces-hardwood floors, tile, laminate flooring, etc. This mop is very lightweight, yet so strong and sturdy, and it needs no batteries to operate, just a flick of your finger and the mop sprays just the right amount of solution on your floor to get the job done!
I was fortunate to be able to review the Rubbermaid Reveal, and I have never been so excited for a review :D We have vinyl and hardwood floors, and my current mopping felt like such a money waster-and it didn't even do that great of a job. I opened my package and got started right away. There are so many great homemade solutions you can try if you do not want to buy mopping solution, and that is what impresses me the most is their Reveal Recipes that are so easy to make! I made the solution that was to work best on hardwood floors,
the recipe is:
2 Tablespoons Ammonia
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon of baby shampoo
And fill to the line of hot water.

My floors not only looked clean, but FELT clean!! This truly was a first for me, having a mop that actually cleans well. I would use my old mop, and have to follow up on my hands and knees just to make the floor at least feel clean and that's way more work than I have time for as a busy mom of two boys! The solution went a long way, I have 5 rooms with hardwood floors and I was able to get them all clean!! My 3 year old even loves this mop, he is such a good helper and loves to clean so I let him give it a try and he gave me his seal of approval ;) My old mop is out in the trash, and let me tell you I tossed it happily!

There are several mopping solutions that Rubbermaid provides:
Cleaning Solution 2
• 2Tablespoons white vinegar
• 2-3 drops liquid soap
• Fill the rest with hot water This solution is perfect for glazed tiles, vinyl, soft tile, cement, brick, and laminate.
Cleaning Solution 3
• 2 Tablespoons baking soda
• 2-3 drops liquid soap
• Fill the rest with hot water
This solution is great for unglazed tiles, marble, stone, and slate.
Cleaning Solution 4
• 1 Tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
• Fill the rest with hot water
This solution also works well on hardwood floors
