Cleaning a kitchen floor is its own particular type of chore. These high-traffic areas deal with outside grime from sneakers, spills from the sink, splatter from the stovetop, and, oftentimes, pet messes. So it's no surprise that this room requires a high-quality cleaner to get the job done quickly and easily so the kitchen can go back to serving its purpose: being the place where you create your favorite meals.
More than 13.800 Amazon shoppers seem to have found exactly that in the Turbo Microfiber Cleaning System. This mop-sweeper hybrid has a light-yet-sturdy aluminum handle that extends up to 60 inches long to reach messes that somehow find their way onto the ceiling (like last week's soup fiasco), and the head turns a full 360 degrees to pivot quickly when reaching under the oven while it locks in pet hair, crumbs, dirt, and debris. It comes with four pads—two microfiber pads for quick cleanups and two scrubbers for tougher, stuck-on messes—that can be used either dry or wet on all types of flooring, like laminate, hardwood, vinyl, and tile.
Right now, the cleaning system is on sale for 25% off, but Food & Wine readers can enter the exclusive code FWTURBO10 for an extra 10% off to bring the price down even further.

An added bonus to the efficiency of those cleaning pads is that they're machine-washable, making them both cost-effective and better for the environment than those single-use pads used by other brands.
One shopper said that they live in an apartment with several other people and described the kitchen floor as "filthy for a long time" from food and debris "falling on and getting stuck to the floor." They said they bought the Turbo Mop after scouring products and reviews on Amazon and that they got to work the evening it arrived in the mail. After pouring some scrubbing bubbles, they did one pass over the floor with the scrubbing pad, and then another for good measure with the microfiber pad and "have literally never seen [their] kitchen floor this clean."
Give your own kitchen floor the TLC it deserves and order the Turbo Microfiber Cleaning System while it's still on sale at Amazon, and don't forget to add code FWTURBO10 for an extra discount.
