What is different than this and the original Dr. Bronner's? Which is better to clean the floors with and how much should you use? Thanks.

I think it has a higher PH level, which makes it great for all sorts of household applications, like laundry and cleaning. We love it and use it as the basis for all our cleaning needs, including making an environmentally friendly and safe spray clean. Can't say enough great things about all of Dr. Bronner's products.

The cleaner is suppose to be used to clean, can be used daily if needed - the refresher brings back the finish and is only suppose to be used 2 or so times a year - I would suppose by breaking it down gently and bringing back the shine. I know if you use it too much it will change the finish on the floor. We use these products commercially.

I always make the assumption with wood floors that they have polyurethane for sealing and any waxing that needs to be done - I did myself. The Swiffer product really is more for general maintenance then it is for FULL cleaning of the wood floors. When I wanted my floors done fully I would buy the BRUCE HARDWOOD floor product available for a Home Depot or Lowe's. Then, in between cleanings and on a regular basis, I would use the Swiffer WetJet Wood Product for dust and general cleaning.

I have had both. You can read my reviews; five stars for Bissell and one for Hoover. Not only is the Hoover lower grade plastic, but it also has a computer which malfunctions after a number of uses. Bad design!

I just use my swiffer wet jet mop... They have a cleaning solution that is safe for vinyl flooring. Just spray, mop and let dry. I'm a daycare provider so I love that I don't have to worry about spills or cleanups anymore. These floors are super easy to maintain!

Last Christmas, we bought the 780-which works great. However, I have long blonde hair and it would tangle around the rollers. The 780 comes with a cleaning tool, so that you can easily cut it off...but it was kind of annoying. I ended up taking it to work and bought the new 880 for the house. We also have dogs at the house. The 880 is AWESOME. It's virtually maintenance free, with the exception of emptying out the collection tray. It also is a lot quieter than the 780. Overall, the rubber rollers seem to pick up a lot more dirt, dust, and dog hair than the 780 did...and I would compare the 780 to the effectiveness of our Dyson Ball vacuum (yes, I know, I have purchased a lot of vacuums... I am kind of OCD like that!) Overall, I would highly suggest the 880 over the 780 iRobot. It simply works better.

In my opinion... the Rug Doctor. I previously owned a Bissel upright unit...the trigger (which when pulled releases the soap onto the carpet) never worked properly. Bissel units are entirely plastic. I didn't care for it because it didn't perform. This small hand held Rug Doctor performs very well...BUT again it is a spot cleaner. Hope this helps

It looks like this one has the ability to turn off the revolving brush, something my vacuum store "specialist" told me. He explained some revolving brushes can scratch your wood floors. I may be missing something but it doesn't look like the EasyClean can do that...? I'd spend the extra money for a little more amperage too :-) I am looking at this one and the EasyClean too! ...need it for stairs primarily and can't seem to find a reasonable solution for that. I just spent quite a bit on a Miele upright and truly value a good product, and glad to pay more to get more! These both seem good for the money!

tie breaker response: keep with the Broan ... cheapest and easiest solution ... it'll last longer if you give it a vacuuming once in a while.

Don't really know anything about the b & d but have used the haan and LOVE it. Easy to use. I have a 3000 sq ft house with all wood floors and two small area rugs. I use on a weekly basis because we have pets and dirty floors come with having pets. No problems at all and if you run the steamer and want some shine on the floor, you can hold the cord in one hand along with a small bottle of Bona wood floor cleaner that you can spray as you steam.

I like the Oreck Steam-It. It does a good job and the floors dry very quickly. I am not too crazy about having to wash the pad that you use but you can cut up old towels and throw it away after using.

There is no comparison. The wooly mop is the best. It holds all the dust but you do not see it until you start shaking it out. My mother always had one and it lasted forever. And once you buy the dust mop you have no refills to purchase and nothing to throw away in the landfills.

The only difference I can think of is when you get the two-pack one of the bottles of cleaner is for deep ground in stains. You can spray it on rub it in a little while before you do your regular cleaning and it will help to get out even the worst stains. I have my own recipe that I use. I always purchase the 2-pack and mix the two together. Depending on what I am cleaning, I sometimes mix as rich as 50/50. I absolutely love this cleaning system. I have owned products much, much more expensive and get nowhere near the cleaning power as I do with these cleaners. If you want a "blow your mind clean" for your carpets purchase the shark rotator vacuum to go with the shark carpet cleaner. I would not have believed it if I had not tried it myself. No one asked me to give that testimony, I just threw it in because I am so happy with my shark products. Hope this helps.

I use my Dr Bronners liquid soap and it works like a charm. I have heard of some using dawn dish soap too!

Hoover customer service said the difference is that this new model has a wood floor scrubber and a tile/grout scrubber. the previous version had only one type of scrubber.

Vinager, water and a mop is the best cleaning you can have for hardwood floors. I had African Mohogany floors and kept them like new for 8 years till I sold house.
