GoVacuum Hardwood Floor Mop Comparison: Bona Versus Swiffer.

For years, Swiffer® has had a stranglehold on the hardwood floor-cleaning market. Its Wet Jet® mopping system was a virtual monopoly, with no competitor up to the task of dethroning the supposed king of clean.

That was until the release of Bona's Hardwood Spray Mop.

After conducting an extensive review of the Bona product in a side-by-side comparison with its competition, the Swiffer, GoVacuum was blown away by the results. Not only did the Bona mop prove superior to the WetJet, but even more surprisingly, it wasn't even close. Some highlights of the findings:

*Bona's state-of-the-art microfiber pad is reusable up an astounding 250 times
- Replacing Swiffers disposable pads for the same amount of use would cost an additional $120

*Bona's mist spray does just that, emitting a fine mist up to 3 feet out
-By comparison, Swiffer's spray creates puddles that can be damaging to hardwood floors

*Bona's mop is six inches wider than the Swiffer WetJet, making for more efficient use and less work for the consumer

* The Bona mop also comes with a bigger solution tank than Swiffer's (28 oz. vs. 16 oz.), and unlike its competitor, doesn't require batteries to operate.

In retrospect, we really shouldn't have been surprised by the results of the trial. Bona has been an industry leader in hardwood floor care for over a century, so the release of a yet another top-of-the-line product is just more of the same from this company. Swiffer users might be hesitant to give up their outdated mops, but much like how the VCR was rendered obsolete by the DVD player, the switch to Bona is not a question of if, but rather, a question of when. And the answer to that question is now.

  • I would like to challenge anyone who owns a Swiffer WetJet to buy a Bona Mop and compare it to the Swiffer. If you aren't completely satisfied that the Bona Mop cleans better, easier, and overall is a better product, We'll let you return it to us for a full 100% refund, no restock fees or shipping charges, and we'll even pay for the return shipping. That's how confident I am that you'll love the Bona Floor Mop.

  • you could get a Hoover floor mate there awesome they also vacuum the floor before you clean too.

  • @Penguinboy1995 The Hoover Floormate is a great machine, and I agree with you is probably ideal for cleaning hardwood floors. With a vacuum built in, there's really no other machine like it, and it does a fabulous job on all bare surface floors.

  • @GoVacuums does the floormate wash and vacuum at the same time?

  • @zunehdrocks Hello, thanks for watching! Yes, the Hoover Floormate does Scrub, Wash, and Vacuum all at the same time. For Hardwood floors, the Bona mop would still be a better choice, but for tile or linoleum floors, the Hoover FloorMate does an outstanding job, probably even better then the Bona.

  • why is this supposed 'expert' mopping in the wrong direction against the grain? bad for wood floor. this is not a review, it's a commercial

  • @jjaniero Hello, thanks for your comment on our video. I just wanted to clarify on the type of floors we are using the Bona on. It's actually a laminate floor we have put down in our retail store that's being used, and not real hardwood floors.

    Hope this clarified it for you.

  • I see someone failed basic math. 28oz at 9.99 is not more economical than 16oz at 5.00 plus I found 33.8oz of wetjet for 6.49. How durable does it need to be? if its not made of coardboard its fine. Plus he wasn't using the wetjet solution for hardwood floors. I like govacuum videos but this is a fail

  • @GoVacuums thanks

  • GO Bona Vacuum!

  • Only suckers keep buying the solution over and over again. You can just refill it. I really love my swiffer wet jet, but then again I have linoleum floors. I'd be picky with anything if I had nice hardwood floors.

  • @GoVacuums ok, thanks 

  • @GoVacuums ok, thanks
