    Default mop replacement - wet/dry floor cleaner recommendations?

    We have about 1400sqft of non-carpeted areas that need constant mopping and cleaning. I got a roomba some years ago and its been 99% fantastic in reducing workload, but I still have to mop the floors manually with a bucket.

    Bissell makes some nice hard floor cleaners, but with mixed reviews. Has anyone found something that really works for mopping? (ie. two tank solution -dirty/clean)

    ~500$ price range, corded or cordless.

    I despise anything that leaves soap or chemicals on the floor - i usually mop with hot water and some peroxide - hence the desire for a 2 tank solution - one for clean and one for dirty water.

    Bissell makes some high priced stuff with mixed reviews - same with Rug Doctor (also for hard floor cleaning)

    This seems like madness. Use a Bee Mop. I think that's the one with a good quality rectangular~ish sponge on the end with the lever you can't wring out.
    Wife tells me it's the tits.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    When I see mixed reviews on a 1000$ product, that replaces a mop and bucket - its not very assuring.

    Steam mop has been a game changer for us.

    and I did not have the only say in the matter (most people just want it done ASAP and don't care about quality).

    If anything we made a better decision because we had a consensus and were all on the same page.

    I use this, pretty effective. The spinner spins the dirty water off of the mop into a separate half bucket.
    Clean water stays much cleaner.
