Sabco Spray Mop

Glides under furniture – I purchased the mop from Mitre10 about two months ago, although I read the reviews which alerted me to be careful with the water bottle. I am very pleased with the purchase as it is light weight and smoothly swivels making mopping enjoyable rather than the chore it was previously, as I normally get a sore back from mopping. The narrow height of the mop head allows cleaning under my couches and kitchen cupboard doors that sit close to the floor. I pour warm water rather than hot directly into the holder with a jug to avoid any potential damage to the water bottle on the mop. I also use the mop to sweep my wooden floors under beds and furniture as well as wet mopping as the mop handle is totally flexible for low positions. The swivel head makes cleaning corners easy. The mop carpet- like pad pulls off easily and can be machine washed, it also dries very fast on the clothes line. When dry I just press it back on (like velcro).

Great at moving dirt – We bought this Sabco mop for our brand new home, because of the vinyl planking in the hallway - kitchen & walk in pantry - lounge/dining room & computer room, and not being able to use our Kenwood Steam mop on the planking. I had been using a small amount of Pine-O-Clean in the water to add a bit of fragrance through the house when mopping and to help with the cleaning & disinfection of the vinyl planking.

We began to notice dirty water in the shower before we had even began to use soap, we then realised that it happened mostly after walking around the house barefooted. We also found that when cleaning up spills on the floor that the paper towel was filthy, virtually the same colour as the water when showering.

This week we opted to buy a Sabco SupaDry Spin Mop And Bucket Set and try that on the Vinyl planking, Wow!, you should have seen the colour of that mop head after washing the floor (2 buckets of water) with nothing else other than a bit of vinegar in the water, it was absolutely filthy. The floor looked and felt new under foot again.

We concluded that the Sabco Swish Mop was just moving the dirt around the house and not collecting it like the Sabco SupaDry Spin Mop And Bucket.

I actually liked using this spray mop. Very easy to use, however after a couple of months I found it very hard to remove the spray bottle. It got to the point where I needed my husband to get the bottle off and eventually neither of us to do it! We… Read more

aren’t young so it ended up being a useless mop. I emailed Sabco for help and was told it the was tricky to remove and put cooking oil around the bit that goes into the mop. Anyway that was useless. I feel I’ve wasted my money on the mop. It wasn’t super expensive but it wasn’t cheap either. So I’m here to say don’t waste your money on this mop, get a Koh one. Cheers!

I do like my spray mop. It is easy to use and certainly saves me getting the bucket out when I need to wash the floor. It is a quick and very useful tools to help improve ones life. My only complaint is that I wish the handle was a little… Read more ·  1

longer. I think it was made for shorter people than me. Even an expendable handle would be better. I feel I have to bend to wash the floor and often end with a sore back.

Great mop with a now-repaired spray nozzle – The mop cleans floor well and with enough pressure, leaves very few streak marks. But .........I’ve not had a single drop of spray come from the nozzle since buying it new, a couple of weeks ago. I have to carry a small spray bottle around with me when using this mop, which is not ideal. Not sure where the fault lies. Water comes out of the water… Read more ·  5

bottle ok when you squeeze it with your hands ....but once attached to the mop, no water comes out. Either a fault with the white nozzle attached to the body of the mop or the mechanism from the handle to the floor is not functioning. Disappointing because if the spray mechanism worked, this would be a 5 star product. UPDATE - Since I published this review, Sabco have sent me replacement parts for the faulty spray nozzle and the mop now works a treat……five stars. It was disappointing the product was faulty to begin with, but the after sales service from Sabco has been excellent. Thank you to Beatrice at Sabco for your assistance.

Broke after 3 uses – When I first got this mop I was super excited to get rid of the old mop and bucket. I was super happy with this product at first. It worked really well the first time and the second but when I went to use it on the third occasion it would not work. No water would spray out! I contacted the company immediately via the phone and was instructed to… Read more

send an email with photos of the product along with my details for a replacement bottle to be sent out the following week. I sent numerous emails and no response. After a week I rung back and spoke to the same person once again and was instructed to email the same details once again but to another email address. Which I did! I then got an email requesting that I call them to discuss the matter. Once again I phoned the number provided and left a message for a return phone call and nothing. Sent another email and no response.

I am not a happy customer, I cannot clean the floor in my house and I am currently cleaning them on my hands and knees which is not acceptable.

This is a inferior product and the customer service is absolutely appalling!

Fantastic – My hard floored areas are not big enough to warrant the effort involved in using a regular mop and bucket, so I did some searching and I found this mop and saw these reviews, so I went to bunnings and bought one. I hadn't had the chance to use it yet but today my dog decided to change that today when she vomited all over the kitchen floor, so I… Read more ·  1

unpackaged my new mop and away I went.

- The water canister is very easy to pull off and put back on and is super easy to fill.

- I didn't have any problems with my cloth coming off, it was very well stuck there and showed no signs of coming off.

- The sprayer is excellent and you only have to use as much water as you need, rather than having to wring out a regular mop a million times and still having a water coated floor. I have found that next time I mop, I will probably only half-fill the canister and that would be plenty of water for my hard floors.

- I was a little bit worried about it just pushing dirt around, but it picked everything up perfectly and I was left with a clean sparkling kitchen floor.

- After I was done all I had to do was pull off the canister to empty it, pull off the microfiber cloth and throw it in the washer, and that's it.

- Storage is SUPER easy as it just stands upright in my cleaning cupboard and I don't have to find space for a mop bucket.

Overall I am very impressed with this product after its first use, and for the price I think it is an excellent buy. We'll see how it goes after a couple of months of daily use, but so far I love it. It has shaved so much time off my usual mopping routine, and now mopping isn't as much of a chore as it used to be because it's so easy. Spot cleaning and a quick mop before people come over is now something I won't mind doing.

The only two things I will point out if you're thinking of buying one of these are: DON'T use bleach as it can damage the microfiber (my mum is a die-hard bleach user for her floors), and DON'T put the cloths in the dryer after you're done washing them because that can damage the microfiber too, just hand them up to line dry. Other than those two things there's nothing else to say really. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for something to make mopping a ton easier!

I have happily used this product for nearly two years. I found it easy to use, it cleaned perfectly using water only on my wooden floors and tiled floors and then the spray stopped working. I contacted Sabco customer service and was extremely impressed with their prompt attention to my problem. A replacement mop was sent out to me and I look forward to using my Sabco Super Swish Spray mop once again. Show details ·  2

Spray stopped working after 2 years,. Contacted Customer support by email. After following their suggested troubleshooting tips , issue was isolated . Replacement parts sent FREE OF CHARGE. All fixed . Great dealing with Justine, if I could give 6 stars for this sort of support I would. Good on ya Sabco. Show details ·  1

I am a sole trader as a domestic cleaner. I love the versatility of the Sabso Superswish Spray Mop especially given that I live on the Fraser Coast in Queensland where there are a lot of Queenslanders with polished wooden floor boards. I contacted Sabco as the water bottle was leaking - I asked if they sold the water bottles separately as I could… Read more ·  1

not find them to purchase on the internet. I received a very positive response from Justine - Customer Service Officer who profusely apologised and organised for a replacement bottle to be sent to me free of charge. To say that I was gobsmacked is an understatement - this type of customer service shows to me that Sabco stand by and honour their products. Highly recommend this product as it is really does get underneath low lying cabinets and between narrow arears especially in toilets.

Worst mop ever! – Bought this Sacco spray mop for work & it didn’t even spray. Took it back to Bunnings & picked another from shelf (most of the stock was missing the bottles) . Took to register & asked if he could check to see if it worked & well no it didn’t! Absolutely useless…the bottle was loose & spray handle was loose didn’t even attempt to such up the water. Don’t buy it. I bought the cheap one instead & works perfectly (down side bottle is too small). Show details

Sabco SuperSwish Spray Mop – The concept is great but the actual working is terrible. My first mop stopped spraying just after warranty ran out (12 months). I contacted support who were great and sent me a replacement. That mop lasted only a few months before it stopped spraying. Again contacted support who offered to send me a replacement as a good will gesture. The… Read more

latest mop has been working for 1 month only. Again it will not spray. There is obviously a real quality assurance issue with these mops. I'm very disappointed as I believe given what you pay for the units, they should last a few years. Won't be buying this brand ever again.

Spray fails, don't waste your money – While it works, the Sabco Spray Mop is a good idea for cleaning laminate floors. But after 18 months, it wasn't able to spray. Sabco's priming suggestion with hot water showed spray was possible, but once the bottle was re-attached, nothing. Even dismantling and thoroughly cleaning and re-assembling the one-way valve on the bottle (which tested… Read more

OK) did nothing to resolve the problem. This suggests probably a genuine design defect in the product. Don't waste your money on this; it's not designed for long life or reliability. What a disappointment.

Bette than others for sure – Updated review: after using it for a few more times and comparing it to others it really is a very good mop that picks up MUCH more than other brands, gets into spaces better and is easy to use and the pads wash up brilliantly. So far my favourite spray mop! Probably a harsh review as it has beaten my last 3 spray mops and at least it actually… Read more ·  2

functions as promised unlike others that didn’t even make it to the first clean! I don’t love the fact you have to use a jug to fill it and can’t remove the filler however that’s not such a bad thing since other brands with removable containers not seem to seal and connect or aren’t refillable, it does have a generous storage container though which is a bonus.

Easy to used mop – Happy that I purchased this mop. This been been a helpful and very light weight to use can reach under or a high ceiling. Comfortable to use. Show reply

Good for quick clean up – This mop is great to have around for those quick mops. However, not good for cleaning up spills. If doing a big weekly mop with dirty floors, best to use proper mop. Feels like it needs more water but if it gets too soaked it leave sa wet trail (cant wring out water). The sponge is easy to rip off and replace and is easy to clean (chuck in washing machine!).

Found two issues – The white check valve reservoir nozzle at the end of the bottle clogs up. Remove bottle, place white nozzle under hot water for 30 seconds (softens white plastic). Insert a small flat blade screw driver between nozzle and clear bottle, work it around a bit while prying up and it will pop off. (Not for the weak) Wipe the inside nozzle mesh clean… Read more

with the screw driver under hot water. Second issue is the spray nozzle, just before the nozzle is the final small pressure tube, it splits, I have repaired using epoxy and copper wire but was it worth doing? Probably not. I recommend dish washing liquid as a detergent. My mother uses bicarb and vinegar and that seems to clog it up within 6 months.

Excellent customer service from Sabco – I have had my sabco spray mop for several years and have been very happy with it. Only recently I found the spray had stopped working. I contacted Justine at Sabco with my issue and sent a photo of the pump part. She responded promptly and offered to send me a replacement part which arrived a few days later. I am so impressed with their customer service and only wish every business behaved this way. Show reply

Spray mechanism has stopped working – Purchased spray mop 9 months ago, was great while it worked. Use it once a week and now it won’t spray, very disappointed Show details

Great mop until it breaks – Great sturdy mop and haven’t found a comparable one yet. However we’re using 3rd one now in last years as the previous 2 malfunctioned within a year. First two the spray system stopped working and the 3rd one we’re using now started leaking from the water container. Unfortunately we lost the purchase receipt so can’t make a warranty claim. … Read more

Bottom line is it’s a great mop but became unusable for us within one year for all 3 units we bought. We hope the quality gets better and we get few years of use out of it.

Love it so handy – I had trouble with my Sabco spray mop and the customer service people responded quickly and then gave me trouble shooting ideas and after all that still no joy so mop was replaced. Felt like a valued customer. Show reply

Great for laminate – Unfortunately I purchased the expensive Evolution spotted gum laminate flooring. What a nightmare to clean and it needs cleaning constantly due to it's finish. Footprints and smudges everywhere . Unable to use any heated cleaning products on it as per manufacturers advice and warranty. The sabco mop has been the only product that cleans without continual streaking. It dries quickly and the pads are easily machine washable. Show details ·  1

Very good product and excellent customer service! – Sabco spray mop is really easy to use. I have it for 2 years and still goes strong. I would like also to mention that the Sabco customer support is excellent. I had an issue with my mop and when I contacted them, they sent me a brand new one in a few days! Show details ·  1

I totally love this mop but the trigger handle has stopped working – I have promoted this mop to all and sundry and no longer use my traditional mop and bucket. I have timber floors and it leaves them gleaming and almost dry immediately. However, the trigger handle has gradually stopped working, when I squeeze it it takes a long time to return to the correct position meaning I need to wait before I can spray… Read more ·  1

again. It has reached a point of being unusable and while searching to find where I could buy a new one (yes, I would buy again) I came across this forum. Do you have any suggestions to remedy or do I have to replace it?

Excellent product. "BUT" – Great design, well built and does an excellent job on the tiled floors. This is our third mop and the same fault happened each time. Leaking pump due to plastic breaking. Thank goodness for a company that has excellent support staff. It is always good to meet people doing a good job and Stacey is one of those people. She put up with my detailed analysis, which she had probably heard before. and solved the problem. Many thanks Tracey. Show details ·  1
