---Why I Buy This---

Well until I started reading reviews on here I had never heard of this sort of cleaner. I do shopping online with Tesco so you do not see new products the same way that you would in store.
I thought this would be useful as both myself and husband are unwell and the floor in the kitchen is a chore that does not get done as often as it should - usually son ends up doing it for us - and leaves it swimming!
This sounded like an ideal product as we could wash part of the floor at a time if necessary. This is the way I do the bathroom with a mop and bucket - but that is a smaller space.

---My Opinion---

Well as I said above I was surprised to see a product that worked like this but managed to find it listed on Tesco grocery website so ordered two bottles for £2.
There is a lot of liquid in each bottle and you use very little so they should last a very long time.
I was not very keep on the pull up nozzle when the bottle is very full as it would be easy to squirt some over yourself if not careful - as when you hold the bottle it is quite soft and pliable. I was also a bit concerned about the warning for cats as I had not seen that mentioned in other reviews I don't think - but perhaps it is the same with all floor cleaners anyway.
I only needed a tiny squirt of the liquid on the floor - it is quite runny and comes out quickly - more a sort of pour than a squirt.
I used a slightly damp vileda type mop to do my kitchen floor.
The smell is not overpowering but does give a clean, fresh, light pine, slightly antiseptic smell.
Because the mop was almost dry and I had only put a little of the liquid on part of the floor it was easy to mop over and was only dampish so therefore dried reasonably quickly - much better than when we use a lot of water which takes ages to dry.
This product is great - you can clean the whole floor in one go or just a bit at a time - great for the kitchen or bathroom. I actually enjoyed being able to do the floor myself today - doing a bit now and then - even under the table while cooking lunch!
The mop needs a good rinse after each use to get the dirt out and to dry ready for the next time - but that seems so much easier than washing the whole floor with a mop and bucket.



---Star Rating---

5 Stars.



---Would I Recommend?---

Yes definitely.



---In Summary---

Will be buying again - think it goes a long way and is quick and easy to use.
But will have to make sure the cats arn't around.
