I have a love/hate relationship with mopping. I hate doing it, but love having clean floors! So, I desperately wanted this latest innovation from Vileda – a convenient, easy, child and pet-safe way to clean floors – to live up to the hype. Can a dissolvable tablet really get up the grime left behind by two teenagers and a dog?

Thankfully, the answer is yes!

You may have seen a CleanTok hack doing the rounds, where mums are using dishwashing tablets dissolved in mop buckets to clean their floors. But here’s the issue – dishwashing tablets are designed for cleaning dishes! So as much as I loved the idea, I was never keen to try it because I didn’t want to ruin my floors.

Now the team at Vileda has developed the first-to-market PACS Floor Cleaning Tablets, specifically designed to be used on all floor types – from hardwood to tile, lino to vinyl. And after trying them out, I’ve literally been left wondering why nobody has thought of this earlier!

What Are Vileda PACS Floor Cleaning Tablets?

Vileda PACS Floor Cleaning Tablets are an absolute innovation in mopping. They’re perfectly portioned, power-packed tablets that you simply drop into a mop bucket filled with six litres of warm water. Watch the tablet’s satisfying fizz, and once dissolved, away you go!

They contain no harsh chemicals and are made with 97% naturally derived ingredients (plant-based enzymes) – so you don’t have to worry about the kids running around in bare feet. But they still pack an incredible punch when it comes to lifting dirt and grime.

Vileda PACS Floor Cleaning Tablets are packed with the micro-cleaning power of Lipase to break down dirt and grease, so your floors are left clean and streak-free. They’re also free from ammonia, bleach and parabens.

 What I Loved About Vileda PACS Floor Cleaning Tablets

Firstly, the convenience of these tablets is hard to pass up. They come in a pack of 10 or 24, and they take up very little room in the cleaning cupboard, unlike some bulky liquid floor cleaners.

Of course it’s also super easy to not have to measure out anything – I just need to fill the mop bucket with six litres of warm water and drop in one tablet. Simple.

The fact that the tablets contain no nasties is also top of my list. With kids and an inside dog, I don’t want to use harsh chemicals to get my floors clean, particularly when the floors need to be done at least once a week.

But the biggest reason I’ve loved trying out Vileda PACS Floor Cleaning Tablets, is because they work. I did a little experiment so I could see just how well they actually work on our mainly white vinyl plank flooring.

I put down a length of duct tape and mopped over it, before removing the tape to expose the part I hadn’t mopped. As you can see from the video and photos – the unmopped strip is nasty!! I couldn’t believe how much dirt and grime the tablet lifted – especially when I tipped out the dirty water.

It’s incredibly satisfying to be able to see the difference in my floors after they’ve been mopped.

I have a modest sized kitchen, lounge and hallway that I mopped with just one tablet, and I changed the water and used a new tablet for the tiled bathrooms, so a pack of 10 Vileda PACS Floor Cleaning Tablets will easily last me a month or more.

Finally, I loved the scent! Anyone who knows me knows I love my house to smell clean, and the Lavender Vileda PACS Floor Cleaning Tablets I used left the entire house smelling clean and fresh, without that harsh chemical scent.

Vileda PACS Floor Cleaning Tablets really are a triple threat – safe for family and pets, convenient, and powerful when it comes to cleaning. I’ve told anyone who would listen to make sure they get their hands on some – I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Vileda PACS Floor Cleaning Tablets pair perfectly with Vileda Spin Mops, but they also work with any mop and bucket set. They’re available exclusively from Bunnings: 10 pack RRP $13.99 / 24pk $29.99 RRP, in Lavender and Spring Fresh fragrances.
