The Norwex dry pad picks up tons of stuff off my floors that I didn’t even know was there, and it’s great at gathering up all my dust bunnies, hair, crumbs & other miniscule “floor yuck”.
In terms of its ease of use, the Norwex Superior wet mop pad is easy to use if you follow the directions. You’re supposed to move the mop over your floor in a Figure-8 pattern. If you do this, it moves easily. If you just scrub the mop back and forth, the “grab” in the microfiber can make the mop hard to move because it feels like it’s sticking to your floor, and the base can “flip”, as happens with other similarly-constucted mop bases.
What I do like about the base of this mop is that it has a handy-dandy little flip-down locking mechanism that you lock and unlock with a mere push. If you don’t lock it, the base swivels in every direction – handy for getting under your furniture. If you flip the locker down, the base doesn’t swivel anymore, making it great for cleaning walls and shower stalls. You can even buy a mop bracket that snaps onto your mop base – it looks like a Swiffer cloth grabber – which allows you to hook on an antibac cloth or window cloth.
I have found the Norwex mop system to work extremely well on linoleum, tile, hardwood and even laminate flooring – although with any unsealed flooring you need to be extra careful to get all the water up off the surface of the floor. It also makes cleaning large bath stalls, showers, walls and windows a lot easier.
A tip for super-shiny, high-gloss hardwood: The Norwex wet mop will leave streaks behind. BUT – if you wet the dry mopping pad and use it to wet-mop your high-gloss hardwood, you’ll find it dries streak-free!
To take care of your microfiber mop pads: Shake the dry pad outside after sweeping, or brush with the Norwex Rubber Static Brush, and re-use to sweep some more!
When the pads need to be cleaned, they can be washed and dried in your machines using any laundry soap. Dry your wet and dry mop pads with low-lint items (eg sheets), because the microfiber will grab lint off other things in your dryer if it gets a chance! Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Bleach degrades the microfiber, and fabric softener coats the fibers and wrecks their grabbing power (Norwex dryer balls let you dry your laundry faster and without static – no fabric softener required!).
Is the Norwex mop worth the price? In the end, I believe it is. It’s an extremely high-end mop, and it will last for years and years. The cost is comparable to the first year’s cost to keep stocked in Swiffer floor-dusting and Wet Jet equipment. After the first year, the Norwex mop system doesn’t cost you a dime, and you’re not throwing Swiffer pads and empty Wet Jet solution containers in the trash to clutter up our landfill space.
Guarantee: The mop pads (and all of Norwex’s microfiber) comes with an unconditional 60 day satisfaction guarantee, and a 2 year performance warranty. How can you go wrong?
