The Flash Powermop Floor Cleaner is ideal for getting hard floors spick and span.

If you've ever had to mop a floor in your life (and we've got to bet that most people have) then you know it can be a real chore, especially in the bathroom or kitchen where stains and grime can be quite resistant. So, anything that can help make the process easier is a must-buy, arguably, especially if it doesn't break the bank.

That's the perfect way to describe the Flash Powermop, a simple but really quite powerful little mopping tool that basically ensures you don't need to lug a mop and bucket around as you wipe your floors. It lets you spray out cleaning fluid as you move, right from the mop itself, so that you can get the right amount for whatever patch of floor you're looking at.

Right now Amazon has a terrific deal on the Powermop, too, taking it down to just £19.90 instead of £39.99 for a starter kit that comes with some fluid. That's half off its full price and matches the device's lowest-ever price on the shopping platform.

So, this might be a brilliant option if you're looking for a really well-priced bit of cleaning kit, but don't just take it from us. The Powermop has more than 19,000 ratings on Amazon, a huge number, and those verdicts average out at 4.5 stars, which is really impressive.

One extremely happy customer wrote up their experience like this: "I like that it's sturdy and that I can use my old mop heads on it, not just the disposable ones. The cleaning fluid smells delightful and works well at removing marks. I like the way the spray comes out at angles and is powerful. It cleans the floors well." It's great to know that its mop head isn't necessarily locked into being an official one.

Another user said: "Great to use daily for heavy wear areas that just need a quick once over. When doing a big clean it also does a good job. Love the fact the spray is easy to use and is straight forward, not at an odd angle". This makes it clear how the mop isn't hard to use at all. Finally, a third reviewer wrote: "This mop is so easy to assemble and use, floors dry almost instantly."

Someone using the Flash Powermop Floor Cleaner, available from Amazon, to clean a hard floor.
The Flash Powermop Floor Cleaner is currently on sale on Amazon for under £20.

Of course, others have pointed out some minor issues they've had in more critical reviews. One such user said: "The wet mop could be more absorbent, as it sometimes leaves streaks on the floor."

You could pick up a different power mop by opting for something like this simple Addis Spray Mop for £16.59, if you want the option of using your own cleaning fluid. Or, if you were willing to spend a bit more money for something with more power, you could always choose a steam mop - like the Shark Steam and Scrub Automatic Steam Mop, which is available from Argos for £120.

If you want the reassurance of the Flash brand, though, and of those thousands upon thousands of positive reviews, the Flash Powermop might just be the one for you. It's a brilliant way to clean floors more easily.
