You can use it dry to attract dust, dirt, and hair. It is great for hardwood floors. You can rotate it 360 degrees to get under furniture and tight spaces. You can also use it on damp floors. The directions say you only need water, but you can use vinegar and water for a thorough clean. You can mop it on one side, then flip it over and dry the floor with the other side.

The dual action microfiber flip mop flips over so you can switch from the chenille to microfiber part and back.
