What type of mop is your favorite
l like the convenience and compactness of a sponge mop, but the heads seem
to disintegrate awfully fast. Any suggestions? What about these
new-fangled Swiffers (sp?) or whatever? I am not really familiar with
them.
I like the Libman wonder mop I like how you dont have to touch
it to ring it out , & how the head is machine washable , but after awhile
you have to buy a new head for it
RubberMaid has a mop I am not sure the name but it has a very thick cotton
head , & it is easy to ring as well with out having to touch it .
I used the swiffers once & I didnt like them , they didnt seem to get my floors clean unless I moped them with a regular mop first . I also like sponge mops i get mine at the dollar tree for a dollar , & I have had the one i have now for about 6 months & it is still good unlike the ones i got from dollar general which lasted no more than 2 months , & I do sterilize the sponge mops after I mop with them I just boil a pot of water & pour it into the mop bucker add 1 cup of bleach soak it for 3 minutes & it good to go , a woman who cleaned hospitals told me about sanitizing them. I am wanting to try the swiffer sweep & vac but I am contemplative due to the other experiances I had Like the swiffer sweeper where you can use dry or moist pads , I started getting teh pads at the dollar store because the swiffer ones were so expensive, & each time I would mop with it I would have to sweep with a regular broom because the dry pads didnt pick up all that was on my floors & then it would take 6-10 of the wet //moist pads to mop one floor.. & it was cheaper to just buy a good mop & some pine sol or fabuloso & mop.
I love the Swiffers too. I always buy them now. They smell
great & you just toss the pad after each use. It is probably not very
environmentally friendly though. But I find using a mop over & over is
like spreading the dirt around the room, putting it back in the bucket &
then back all over the floor again. The Swiffer mops with the Wet Jet
thing on them look good too. I don't have one, but I might get one. I
usually use one pad per room, cause I find they dry out quickly, so with the liquid spray, maybe one pad would last through each room. But then you spend extra money on the liquid or extra on the pads. Probably works out the same so you'd have try it & see what you like best.
I have bought a swiffer a while back I don't like it at all.
Just the way it left my floors after was sticky. I just recently borrowed
my friends Shark Steamer. It is awsome. It takes off everything off the
floor with out scrubbing. You can walk on the floor with white clean socks
and nothing on them! Research on it! I love it! I
sponge mops harbor bacteria
swiffer type use and throw away
we always have those at our local second hand store
i run a cleaning business and wood floors can be hard to clean without
spots
get two, wet mop one and dry mop with a microfiber
I used to work in the home health care field & in going to
various homes/apts. etc. I think I've used just about every mop around!
So, when I started using the LIBMAN WONDER MOP I was amazed. The mop is
made in the UNITED STATES & has been around forever. The pole is
lightweight plastic that has microfiber, absorbent heads that are machine
washable. BONUS! Just machine wash & let it air-dry don't use fabric
softener or dryer sheets. The head is easy to change. I don't like the swiffer- you have to use ''special'' refills/liquids & I don't like to use too many chemicals on my floors.. You also have to buy disposible pads which to me are a waste of money. I simply use a disenfectant detergent in one bucket with warm water & then I rinse the mop & do a once over with another bucket of warm clean, clear water.. It takes a few moments extra but, the floor is really clean.. I have multiple mop heads that I use to mop or dry the floor as well. It is also NOT expensive.. The basic pole/mop head is around $15 & replacement heads are around $8. I've has no trouble finding a store that carries the mop and/or refills. I don't like sponge mops. They don't really absorb after a while & the mop heads shred pretty easily. You can not machine wash them & sometimes it is hard to find the refills. I've used the RED VALEDA mop.. HORRIBLE. it is cumbersome, heavy & it is near impossible to change the mop heads. I cut myself pretty badly trying & almost needed stiches. I've used old fashioned string mops with the wringer bucket but, that is also heavy & messy.. So, LIBMAN so far is my favorite.. Good luck
I always use a sponge mop. I can not understand how people use
those string mops. Or worse, those weird, machine washable, cloth strip
mops. How is that getting anything off your floor? It is light as a
feather. And it just smears water around, leaving a trail of drops behind
it. I feel you, though, on the disintegration thing. Luckily, I have
really blond colored hardwood, so I just dust mop it once a week, and use
a sponge to clean up anything I spill on it.
I don't use a mop - I wash the floor on my hands and knees
using wash cloths.
I like mop with micro cloth that can be wash in machine on
gentle and I use cheap floor cleaner since there pretty much the same
except pretty labels.
I love the swiffer. And you can buy off brand replacement wipe
clothes for it so that you don't spend as much money on the refills.
