Here are the things you should look for in a mop to make your life easier:
• mop pads are microfiber (contains static electricity to hold dirt)
• mop pads stick to the base easily and keep sticking over time
• mop pads allow for quick and easy for dusting and shining my floors
• mop pads pick up dust bunnies, crumbs, pet and people hair
• mop is easy to manipulate
• easy to clean mop pads
• mop base stays where you put it - doesn't "flip"
• mop handle telescopes in and out for different mopping jobs
The Norwex Superior mop package comes with the aluminum, lightweight telescoping handle (36" to 63"), a mop base and two microfiber mop pads - a yellow dry pad and a blue antibac wet pad. If you are going to purchase a mop package, I would go with a Superior package, large or small.
Whether you get this mop in the small (13") or large size (20"), the mop pads stick to the base extremely well because of the way they attach with heavy velcro strips - a very secure way of fastening. There is even rubber edging on the base to protect walls.
The Norwex dry pad picks up tons of stuff off the floor that you wouldn't even know was there, and it's great at gathering up dust, pet hair and other "floor yuck" - but it doesn't pick up larger items, those still need to be picked up the old fashioned way - manually!
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-constructed mop bases.
What's great 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 brackets that snap onto your mop base which allows you to hook on an antibac cloth or window cloth.
The Norwex mop system works 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.
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 although we do recommend the Norwex Ultra Power Plus detergent, not only because it is highly concentrated wand more cost effective, but also because it is more environmentally friendly. 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? Most definitely! It's an extremely high-end mop, and it will last for years and years. The cost of $107.99 (for a large) or $87.99 (for a mini) 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 Norwex microfiber) comes with an unconditional 60 day satisfaction guarantee, and a 2 year performance warranty.
