   I have just completed cleaning ALL our LVP (luxury vinyl plank) flooring in the entire house. This was a multi-tank process, multi-day clean-a-thon as we recently moved into a new-build house. I could just not see myself on hands and knees washing the floors, or swabbing dirty water around with a mop and bucket; I have thrown my Swiffer WetJet to the curb because it just moved dirt around too (I may have written a pretty hateful review of it btw). I got myself the Crosswave for my birthday splurge. Sad I know. No kids, no pets (maybe someday but not now); we have visiting service dogs though. Here’s what I can tell you after using the Crosswave a half a dozen times. on textured wood-grain-look plank vinyl and slate-textured vinyl tiles. O. M. G. We actually see the texture of the vinyl flooring now!!! We had this floor installed, and every sub imaginable walked on it or the cardboard protector sections with muddy boots. The floor was given a cursory cleaning before we moved in with a shop vac, and while it didn’t *look* dirty, it didn’t look very clean either. First pass with the Crosswave was a muddy-mucky mess of water in the dirty water tank. I have to admit some OCD tendencies prompted me to do a few overlapping passes using multiple tanks of water and essentially Crosswaved the entire 1st floor twice in 2 days. As I cleaned each section, we noticed that the “wood look” vinyl actually had more of a textured grain than we thought! Wow, and it actually looks clean now, with brighter colors!! Same thing with the bathrooms with the slate-look vinyl–wow! texture! And it’s more colorful than we thought!! I was afraid that this would be one of those “EWWW I have too much to clean!” appliances and I would use it a couple times, take the thing all apart, have to scrub and scrub all the parts I just took apart, and it would end up staying in pieces here, there, and everywhere, and one piece would get separated in the scramble for company coming over, and end up in pieces in the garage or something. NO!! Easy to clean, easy to dry, easy to put back together or keep all together until the next time. Lessons Learned: 1) I think if we had a shedding pet–in addition to our shedding selves–I would look into the Pet version. I found that the machine will say the dirty water tank is full with that lovely screech IF there is hair and lint starting to clog it up. You may not even be halfway through your clean water tank before you have to empty the dirty one. Sometimes giving the Crosswave a little jiggle to shake the hair/lint/goo free from the float in dirty tank gets you another couple minutes of cleaning. 2) The Crosswave is not a quiet device. Watch a few of the videos of someone using it to clean and you’ll see you cannot hold a conversation and run this thing at the same time. There will be a lot of screaming to make yourself heard. The screech when the dirty water tank is full is a near-crap-inducing noise. Every time it comes on I swear that it will start smoking, flames will burst out, and ball bearings will spray around the room; thankfully this does not happen, but I haven’t let the screech go on for more than a few seconds. 3) Washing WITH the grain of your floor and going slow and steady is key. I also start in the far corner, cleaning with the grain, and slowly back out of the area overlapping all the way, hovering over dirtier-looking spots for an extra scrub. If you get some dribbles or the floor seems too wet, let go of the water trigger and slowly go over the wet area again to let the squeegie and vacuum suck up the excess water. When I went across the grain of the vinyl I seemed to see the ‘tire tracks’ when it dried. Going slow also keeps the streaks down by giving the Crosswave time to suck up the dirty water so you don’t have streaks. 4) The sample bottle only gets you 2.5 tanks worth of cleaning. Buy extra cleaner or have white vinegar on hand. 5) The Crosswave is much easier to clean than I would have guessed, and the best part is… I have yet to have long hair permanently wound around the scrubbie brush!!! I have a whole tool kit just for taking apart my vacuum beater brush, and as much as I love my Miele canister vacuum, cleaning the beater brush is not how I like to spend my free time. So far with the Crosswave, all the hair and lint ends up in the dirty water tank. I just pop that tank out, pull off the filter off and rinse under warm water, pull the green floater section off, wipe the underside of that with a papertowel and set in sink, slowly dump the icky water into the corner of the kitchen sink so I can swab up the hair-lint-goo with said paper towel, toss paper towel, rinse everything off in hot water. The brush comes out easily, and brush and its cover get rinsed in the sink and set aside with other parts to dry. I take one more paper towel and wipe around the dirty water gasket, and the areas around the brush. It really is easy to clean! Photos: First pass on new, never-cleaned floor and the icky water. The brush is soft blue and stiffer red scrubbie bristles. All the parts drying on the counter. So far I am loving my Crosswave!!

   Es fácil de usar y en general limpia bien. Lo único malo que he notado es que deja líneas marcadas en el piso que hasta el momento no he sabido como evitar.

   I have always mopped my floor with a spin mop and thought it was squeaky clean until my toddler grandson walked on the floor with his bare feet the day after I mopped it……his feet were black! YIKES!! I immediately looked for a better cleaner. I researched and picked this Crosswave mainly because it kept the dirty water away from the clean water and away from the floor. I have to say I way so pleased. My floor has never shined the way it did the first time I cleaned with the Crosswave. I vacuumed the carpet before I cleaned the floor and the suction was great. I emptied the dry container and then filled the clean water reservoir. I purposely did not sweep before I cleaned to see how well it picked up the dirt. Again I was pleasantly surprised. It picked up the dirt AND cleaned the tile floor very well. However it does not get edges very well from the side of the unit. It only picks up dirt along walls if you aim the front of the cleaner against the wall. Wish it had an edging attachment. Next time I would sweep before cleaning to get those dirty areas along cabinets and walls. The unit is easy to use and is very light weight. I did find that I was constantly turning off the unit because the buttons are right where you hold the handle. A little annoying but not enough to not use it. I saw complaints that this unit streaks the floor. My floors were very dirty after having company for a week and I did not have any streaking issue except on glossy tile. I will try hot water and vinegar next time instead of the solution provided to see if the streaks go away. The solution cleaned well but had no clean scent. I missed that clean smell the pine cleaner provided. As with any wet cleaner, it does leave a wet spot on the floor whenever you stop cleaning. There is a base/cleaning tray provided to clean the brush and store the unit on. I would not attempt to dry vacuum a rug after wet cleaning as I’m sure it would leave a dirty wet trail. All in all I think this is a great floor cleaner and am very pleased I purchased it. Just wish I would have done it sooner. I have attached a pic of my kitchen floor after I cleaned and before and after pics of my lanai floor.
