Product review: Genie mop pads for tile floor

This is a review of a new design of mop and scrub pads for Swiffer Sweeper. In the set I got two pads have a small brush attached to the center of the pad as well as 12 high quality wet cloths.  The brush pads best for cleaning the grout lines on tile floors (do not use on wood as it may scratch the surface).  The little brush gets into those grout lines to dig out the dirt.

The pads fit both old and new (slighter wider) Swiffer Sweeter.  The brush pads are packaged dry and are moistened before use.  One of the way to moisten them is to press them into the package of wet pads that are part of the package. The brush pads dislocates the dirt in the grouts very well, however because of the angle the brush put only the edge of the pad in touch with the floor, the mop does not pick up all the dirt after the pass with the brush alone.  This problem is resolved by using the wet pads that come in the same package for a second sweep.  This I use either wet pad or a regular swiffer dry pad as a follow up to pick up the dirt the brush pushed out from the grout lines.

So I think this is a clever concept.
