2.5 months in, I am very pleased with this product
I've had this product for 2.5 months. I like that I can clean my laminate flooring well without the use of chemicals. I have found that the best way for me to avoid streaks on the floor is this. First, I vacuum the floor. Then, I clean the floor with the Shark Steam Pocket Mop with the grain of the flooring. I start at one side going over the same area 3-4 times before moving on to the next area. I overlap my strokes as I work across the floor. Even though I vacuum, I found that just 2-3 swipes across a given area is more likely to leave streaks and not really clean the area well. I move slowly and let the mop do the work, meaning I don't put any undue pressure on the mop. The mop pads wash and dry beautifully in with my towels and/or rugs and bathmats. If I need to change them out and continue mopping without time to wash them in the washing machine, I rinse them under hot water in the sink with the nozzle set to spray. Then, I wring them out well by hand and they are ready to keep cleaning. If the dirt builds up on the pad, I am also more likely to get streaks on the dry floor. At this point, I feel like this was a good value.
