By simply adding water to the 600 ml refillable bottle, you can effectively clean your floors with no need for any added chemicals. There’s also a trigger that pushes detergent out of the floor head. It’s a bit of an art to use the right amount of fluid, and there’s no automatic dosing on this model. Beldray suggests covering an area three to four times with the trigger down, then covering the ground afterwards to dry it. As with similar hard floor cleaners, such as the Vax ONEPWR Glide, the Beldray Clean and Dry has two tanks, both of which are easy to remove. The first, is the 0.55-litre detergent tank, which you use to mix floor detergent with water. Beldray has its own mix available, although you can use any cleaner compatible with floor machines. Plus, some models can be used on carpets (like the Bissell Crosswave) which may be handy if you have hard flooring downstairs and carpets in the bedrooms, or even a lot of rugs – just note they aren’t as effective as dedicated carpet cleaners.

When you’re deciding which hard floor cleaner to invest in, assess its manoeuvrability by looking at its weight. Consider too where you’ll store it – some are more compact than others.Designed to avoid cleaning with dirty water, switch to the boost function for an extra clean blast against stubborn dirt and grime.

If it's also a wet cleaner, then testers analyse how well it lifts a variety of set-in and fresh stains, including wine, tea and mud. They assess whether it dries as it goes, too. Finally, if it cleans carpets, then they also test this feature, again using common household stains. The cordless unit has an easy-empty 280 ml dirty water tank, and an easy-fill 550 ml clean water tank for a fresher cleaning solution. Introducing the Beldray No Chemical Cleaning spray mop, the perfect solution for efficient and effortless cleaning with a 180° swivel head for scrubbing hard to reach areas. Made with specifically developed microfibre technology, the reusable mop heads are designed to trap grease, grime and up to 99% of bacteria without the need for harmful chemicals*. To enhance the mops longevity, the super-absorbent mop heads can be rinsed after use or thrown in the washing machine at a low temperature.

It’s easy to control this cleaner. There’s a single power button that you can tap repeatedly to move from Low power to High power and then to off. The difference between the modes is in how fast the two motorised floor rollers move, with the higher setting better for tough ground-in stains. The dual purpose brush bar simultaneously cleans and dries while the swivel floor head makes cleaning corners and under furniture easy.
