Bruce Dura Luster No Wax Hardwood Floor Cleaner Mop Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Bruce floor cleaner product works fine on our new laminated wood floors. The spray bottle dribbles and leaks, as do most spray bottles when you try to aim them down, but the product itself is good. (I wish "someone" would invent a spray bottle that could be aimed "down.")
The mop that comes hidden inside the "kit" was a huge disappointment. This is not a serious cleaning tool. It is made from flimsy light plastic. The first thing I noticed was that the little oval formations with lightning-shaped cutouts that are apparently supposed to hold a disposable cleaning cloth -- well, the entire ovals fell out, repeatedly, while I was only trying to screw together the two small poles into one long handle. The ovals never did stay in, and they were both lost by the end of two floor cleaning attempts. No disposable dusting cloths came with the "kit" anyway, and Swiffer brand cloths are too small for this mop head. You would need to buy a different mop for everyday dry dusting.
The second thing I noticed is that the mop handle is extremely short compared to all other mop handles I have encountered in my many decades on earth. I am slightly below average height for a grown woman, and this handle is too short for me. When mopping a floor, one needs to stand back a certain distance from the mopping area, forming an angle to the area being cleaned, to allow the light to illuminate spots and drips and smears. The shortness of this mop handle requires more of a toilet-plunging position. As they say, "This does not work for me."
Then when I started mopping, I realized why the mop handle might be short on purpose, as opposed to short merely because it is a cheap ripoff. The mop head is attached to the handle in dead center by a swivel thing. When I do angled mopping -- standing back a bit so I can actually see the drips and spots and smears I want to remove -- the mop does a sudden and startling FLIP - C R A S H - SCRAPE action. The mop head flips over on its back causing a surprisingly loud crashing sound, then the hard plastic back of the mop head scrapes my nice new floor. The only way to avoid the FLIP - C R A S H - SCRAPE action is to stand in the toilet-plunging position, which requires placing my feet right in the wet area I just sprayed (well, dripped on) with the liquid cleaner, where I am not only messing up my own wet floor, but I cannot see what I am trying to clean.
I threw the mop away because it was both useless and potentially harmful due to the scraping from the plastic when the mop head flips over. I recommend saving your money and avoiding this "kit." Just buy the liquid cleaner and choose a fully-assembled mop that you can see and hold in the store before purchase, and one that comes with disposable dust clothes or that will fit other major brands of dust cloths.
