I clean both commercial and residential. I have used EVERY mop on the market. I give Libman Freedom Mop five stars for convenience, cost effectiveness and cleaning power. This mop really gets floors clean. You can choose whatever cleaning solution fits your budget or cleaning needs. It can be used on ANY type of floor. The pads are reusable and can be machine or hand washed 50 times before they suggest replacement. There is a hand operated trigger to spray solution so no more batteries or broken battery covers or weird whining noises. The solution sprays in a fanned pattern and in a fairly fine mist so no over spraying of solution. This is a very sturdy mop, which swivels easily and can withstand the pressure required to get dirt removed from floors. I don't see me snapping the handle from the base which I've done numerous times with the Swiffer brand. This is an environmentally friendly product which reduces the continuous purchasing of cleaning solutions, batteries and cleaning pads ....it is truly freedom in a mop!
