I've got an older pre swiffer-like mop (a Libman) but I don't use the pads and instead use old towels I've cut up, I use a Lysol and hot water solution, wet the rags, lay it out on the floor, and using the libman scrub the floors. When the rag gets a little dirty, I wet and put down a new one and continue cleaning.
@Arantxa I have a small apartment as well, but they're renovating all of our apartments to hardwood flooring one by one, I have the last apartment number so I'm looking at about 18 months before they get to mine, so I'll be getting one of these.
@soar2newhighs I have moped hardwood with a regular mop and bucket, sponge style, and when I do that I just make sure not to get the wood too wet. It's do able without causing damage if you're careful.Then dry/polish with microfiber mop. Some people may just use a microfiber mop wet. There are different head styles
I feel like they pick up more dirty water and ropes just kind of spread it. I can really penetrate the small crevices with hot soapy water and then it all picks up. In my house I use the sponge mop and then a Hoover floor steamer mop thinga majig. Clean as a whistle
