This double-duty device not only tackles wet or dry messes on your hard floors at home (no more mopping with dirty mop water!)–it also packs a sizable tank. You’ll also love the hands-free self-cleaning feature to kick start after you clean which flushes the inner tubing and brush roller away. Reviewers consistently report that first-time users are shocked at the look of their dirty water when it’s emptied–a sign perhaps of how dirty your floors actually are.

Any tall friend will tell you how dirty the tops of your cabinets are. However, get around that with this duster/pole kit which allows you to clean floor to ceiling–perfect for those dusty ceiling fan blades.
