Keeping clean floors with 2 rowdy boys and a messy, mud ball of a dog seems practically impossible. And mopping, sweeping, and vacuuming certainly aren’t tasks I want to be doing all day every day. I used to feel so overwhelmed with taking care of my floors. It was so time consuming and I would let them slide more often than not. But I’ve discovered that you can have clean floors with kids in a matter of minutes thanks to the Turbo Mop system!

I think having clean floors is the dream of every mom out there. We all want a clean home, but actually accomplishing that can be a struggle. But there are three quick, easy and highly effective things I do each and every day to make sure my floors stay clean. And the best part is that they only take a few minutes each day to complete!
1. We do a quick tidy of the house each night.
Throughout the day, toys inevitably get spread everywhere. If your a mom like me, you can totally relate. But we have really made picking up a habit we do as part of our bedtime routine with our boys. They must help because they made the mess. We are able to get everything back into it’s place in just a few minutes. Once that’s done, it’s time to clean!
2. I do a super quick sweep of the floor.
I used to have a Swiffer, but honestly it was pretty expensive with the disposable pads. So when I received my Turbo Microfiber Mop, I knew it was a match made in frugal mama heaven! I love that the microfiber pads are washable and that the kit comes with two so you always have one clean. Plus, this mop has an adjustable handle so I can just lower it down and let my 5 year old do the cleaning for me! Win, win! 🙂
3. I use my Turbo Spray Mop to deep clean the floors every few days.
If you don’t have a dog, you could probably get by with doing this just once a week. But I have a 70 pound goldendoodle who thinks it’s fun to run laps around our yard and get super muddy. So I usually do a quick mop of the floors every few days. This mop cleans so much faster than any of my other mops and I think that’s due to the location of the sprayer. I can literally mop my hallway, living room, dining room, and kitchen in 6-8 minutes.
By following these 3 quick and easy steps, we are able to keep our floors remarkably clean on a daily basis.
I have really fallen in love with these mops. I’ve owned several spray mops and microfiber mops over the years and I’ve actually purged all of the others. The two Turbo mops are all I use any more. The quality of these items by far beats out all of the other mops I’ve ever used.
If you want an easy, streamlined system for keeping your floors clean, I would highly recommend the Turbo mop system. Here are just a few of the things I love the most.
PROS
- The Turbo Mops are affordable. In comparison to all of the other mops I’ve used including Swiffer, Rubbermaid Reveal, Shark Steam Mop, and Lysol Microfiber, this mop’s price point is competitive. However, what makes it stand out amongst all the rest is the next pro…it’s amazing quality.
- The Turbo Mops are super high-quality. The fact that they are made from aluminum and not plastic like most other mops makes them so much more functional. You can really put a lot more pressure on the mop to get much cleaner floors.
- The Turbo Mops are super slim (height of pad) with a wide surface area on the pad itself. I can easily dust under all of my furniture, including my piano which was a nightmare to clean under prior to using this mop.
- The Turbo Mops sprayer comes out behind the pad instead of in front of it. Honestly, I thought this feature was a little odd and I didn’t know if I would like it. However, it’s seriously one of the best features of this mop. Instead of pushing the mop forwards and stepping over all of the surfaces that you just cleaned, you simply pull the mop backwards so that everything clean goes untouched. This feature is simply genius.
- The Turbo Mop comes with two microfiber pads and two scrubber pads. For me, this makes it worth so much more because most mops only come with one pad. Additional pads usually cost ~$5 per pad. All of the Turbo Mop pads are washable and reusable.
- The Turbo Mop has an adjustable handle so it can easily be used by different family members…including the little ones!
- The Turbo Mop sprayer pump feels very sturdy. I’ve actually worn out the sprayer in previous mops I’ve used which have felt cheap. I believe this mop will really stand up to the test of time.
After using both mops several times, I have discovered just a couple minor flaws.
CONS
- Putting the handle on the spray mop was a bit difficult. It was probably user error because I wasn’t used to the sprayer being behind the pad. I had to end up removing the handle and twisting the mop around. Removing it was a little cumbersome, but my husband was able to help! 🙂 Just make sure you look at it closely before attaching anything.
- The Turbo Mop doesn’t come with a hanging hook to hang the mop on the wall off the floor. It does have a small loop in the plastic though so I just attached some book rings from Walmart so I can hang them on the wall in my laundry room! 🙂
Here are a few shots of my floors before and after using my Turbo Spray Microfiber Mop with Bona floor cleaner.
It really is amazing how quickly and easily I can clean my floors now. I don’t dread this task any longer. In the past few months, I’ve really been trying to simplify my cleaning and that includes the amount of supplies I use. I’m so glad to have found Turbo Mops! These two products have made cleaning so much simpler. Simplified cleaning = Happy Mamas!
I will have to share this with my swiffer friends!
Thanks, Lea! 🙂

I really dislike mopping and keep trying to figure out a good way to have clean floors. What makes you like this one better than the Shark Steam Mop? That is the one I have but still don’t regularly use… also, what made you choose the Bona floor cleaner and where do you buy it?
My Shark Steam Mop worked well, but was annoying for me to get out, set up, plug in and then have to move around the house because I would always run out of the length of cord. Plus it was heavier and I always felt like I had to push really hard to make it work. It was cumbersome. I like the Turbo Mop because it’s so light weight and durable. Plus I can use any floor cleaner I want in it. I decided on Bona from a recommendation from a friend. It has been working really well. I purchased mine on Amazon…I believe there is a link above in the post. I’ve also seen it at my local Walmart. Hope that helps! 🙂

Do you think this would work on tile floors too? I have both wood and tile and would love to find one product that would clean both!
I use it on my tile, laminate wood, and laminate tile flooring and it works great on all three! Hope that helps. 🙂
