We have tile through-out the house with three dogs (two "monster" dogs and a bitty one) and four kids. I have had four hand surgeries so pushing a mop around always hurts... my floors were always dirty. I can complain and moan and groan, but you know kids... even if they did try to help it would be a crappy job. I was going to buy a Hoover floor cleaner (can't remember exact name) that cost about $150. I saw this at Target and put down the Hoover. I remembered the infomercial that I had seen and thought "what the hell". I have never been happier! I can clean my entire house in about half an hour....
