Tools and Hardware Reviews of Tersano lotus LWM100 Wet Mop
Customer Review: A great addition to the Lotus Santizing System
Summary: 4 Stars
After just 2 weeks of using the Lotus Santizing System, I had buy the wet mop. I am glad that I did - it certainly lives up to the reputation of the Lotus system for cleanliness and household safety.
I've been using a Swiffer WetJet for most of my mopping, which was great for avoiding the mess and re-contamination issues that sponge mops and string mops have. What I didn't like about the Swiffer is the wasteful disposable pads and the chemicals that the WetJet sprays on my floors. The Lotus Wet Mop addresses both of my concerns.
The Lotus Wet Mop comes with a re-usable microfiber cloth rather which seems as effective as the Swiffer's disposable pads. The removable tank charges regular tap water using the Lotus Sanitizing System, and just like the spray bottle, gives you 15 minutes of sanitzing tap water. Like the wet jet, it uses 4-AA batteries to project a spray, shooting about 6" out and 4" wide. From there, you mop like normal. When finished, you can throw the microfiber cloth in with your laundry to be cleaned for next time (I'd recommend picking up some extra cloths.) I love that the durable clothes can be re-used over and over again.
I have linoleum in the kitchen, laminate in 1 bathroom and tile in 2 more bathrooms + entry way. The Lotus Wet Mop works very well on all 3 surfaces, and I've especially noticed in the kitchen that the linoleum shines and feels clean on my bare feet - no sticky residue to be rinsed. Unfortunately, I have no wood floors so I can't say how it would perform on wood.
The only downsides to this wet mop are:
- Because the sanitizing water has no soap that give it a 'slip', it takes a bit more efford to push it along the floor than I'm used to. That was easy enough to overcome.
- The water doesn't seem to shoot out as far or in as fine a mist as I'd like. I immagine that has something to keeping the oxygen from disolving from the water before it's had a chance to disinfect.
- As with the spray bottle that comes with the base system, you have to run the mop water through a cycle on the Lotus base, so it's not convenient if you have a mopping emergency.
Customer Review: DO NOT BUY!!!

Don't waste your time dealing with this mop and Tersano customer service.
This mop worked just fine the 1st few times I used it, then it stopped working.
Lotus sent a replacement, and I used it once without a problem, but it would not work the second time I tried it.
I appreciate the replacement, but I got a little bit of a run around with Tersano customer service.
It's a great idea just poorly made.
I'm searching for a mop that will actually work!
Customer Review: Do not buy this product

We bought this mop in May of 2009. On its second use, water started to spill out of where the vessel and mop should create a seal when the mop was tilted to start cleaning the floor. I called up Tersano and requested a refund. They talked me into sending it back for free and getting a new mop. The new mop started to do the exact same thing on its first use. Again I called and requested a refund and again I was talked into sending it back free of charge for a new mop. The new mop actually worked on three seperate uses before again, splling water all over my floor. Tersano will issue a refund but I have to pay for the return shipping. Love their sanitizing system...don't like the mop.Customer Review: Great money saver
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved my lotus sanitizer for cleaning my veggies and my counter tops, so I knew this would be a great product. For three years I've been using a Swiffer and spending way too much money for the chemicals and disposable cleaning pads. This mop seems very well made. The things I like best about it is how it gets lots of water on the floor. And since the water is free, it doesn't matter. I thought I would miss the disposable cleaning pads, but to be honest, I like the micro-cloth much better. It seems to clean much better and it's easy as a dish rag to wash out when I'm finished. My only complaint would be the mop is a little heavier and harder to move around than my Swiffer. I know this mop will be a big money saver for our family. I love it.Customer Review: Grossly disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
Like many other reviewers I was excited to find a mop that I didn't have to buy the manufacturers chemicals and pads. The mop worked well ONE TIME ONLY! The next time it wouldn't spray so I thought maybe the batteries were dead, so I replaced them with fresh ones. It still wouldn't work. I double checked to make sure I had inserted them correctly and one of the little springs that holds them secure broke off.
It is obviously very cheaply made and I feel ripped off. I do not recommend this mop.
