Black Diamond Review and Giveaway!!!!


I was SO lucky to be able to try out this WOW! Wood floor cleaning system.

I have to admit I was a little hesitant. I have tried out cleaners before with little luck. A certain "Orange Glow" cleaner left my wood laminate floors gummy and gross as soon as someone walks on it. I actually had to clean it AGAIN to get the mess off of the floor! I have been using Swiffer with the cleaning pads. It works okay, but the pads are so expensive and they only last two cleanings. (We have the double mop so two pads fit on at once. I have to change it a few times while cleaning. Before you know it I have gone through half the box of cleaning pads! NOT very economical!) As far as the performance, the floor looks shiny and nice until it dries, then it's dull again.

I was so excited to get this kit in the mail. As soon as I opened it I could immediately tell the difference right away. First, the heavy duty cleaning mop is very sturdy. It makes the Swiffer mop look frail. The microfiber cleaning pad is very high quality (and washable, Holla!). I was actually excited to clean my floor. I tried to get a before and after photo but it is darn near impossible to photograph a wood laminate floor to show dirt. lol. I am no professional photographer!

Once I cleaned my floor I was in love! First, it was so easy! Just sweep to get the major dirt and dust bunnies up (don't act like you don't have dust bunnies!) then spray and mop! SIMPLE and EASY!  I watched and waited for the floor to dry to see if the shine would stay. I waited and waited...and I was so impressed to see that the floor was still shining after it dried! My floor actually LOOKED clean. In fact, when my husband came home from work he said, "Wow, you cleaned the floor. It looks great!" I love this stuff!!!! It's been over a week and my floors STILL look wonderful! I sweep every day, but I haven't had to worry about cleaning the floor again. Now THAT is awesome considering I have 3 boys, a husband and 2 dogs! lol  I wish that Black diamond made something to clean the kids and dogs...now that would be absolutely perfect!

Another thing that sold me on Black Diamond products is that they are environmentally friendly AND they offer a 100% money back guarantee!!! I am going to try their Ultimate Shower, Tub & Tile Cleaner

I need this kit because my entire upstairs has hardwood floors. They had not been taken care of before we bought the house and they could definitely use some shine. I had a similar experience with Swiffer. The floors look so nice until they dry. This product sounds like something that would work well for our house. Thanks for the chance to win!

Ohhhhh.....I'd LOVE to try this. when we built our house we put hardwoods in our entry way, 1/2 bath (EEEK!), kitchen (EEEEK! Again) and our breakfast nook. Yes, you may call me an idiot because I frequently call myself that. Those poor wood floors NEED something better than what I've been using.

I'd also like to try the top Spot cleaner for emergencies on my carpeting.

Hi Michelle. I would love to try the granite counter cleaner too. I have mostly hard wood floors and some tile and would love a chance to try Black Diamonds floor system. Your review of it was really good.

I now have my MIL who has dementia and is 89. So it's kinda like having a child back in the house again and it keeps me very busy with the floors. I would love this.

Have a blessed weekend...Tracy :)
