Sometimes when I'm cleaning our house I wonder: 'Is this how the real housewives do it? Am I doing it right?' Because after 20 years I still feel like an amateur.
When my kids were at the crawling stage, and they combined crawling the floors with putting everything into their mouth, I went through a stage where I vacuumed the floors daily. Then of course came the sticky stage, where they kept bumping cups with syrupy drinks off the table, which led to a daily-mopping-the-floor stage for me.
But now the kids are older, and the need to keep the floors clean has become less urgent. However, after a hot meal our kitchen floor still is quite messy. But it's such a fuss to get my bucket, put water and cleaning stuff into it, and mop the floor.
So I'm delighted with my new Greenspeed mop, which comes with a sprinkler system that allows me to mop the floor without using a bucket of water. I just pour some water into the collect broom, and push the button at the top of the broom. It then sprays water onto the floor, and I can mop away!
I can now proudly say I mop our kitchen floor daily!
I'm almost like a real housewife!
How often do you mop your floors?
That's clever! I too don't like mopping except if I use a Swiffer. But now we bought this iMop thing (Google it and look at the images!) and it let's us have a portion of the bucket filled with water-soap-whatever, and you don't have to squeeze the water out by hand, all you need to do is let is spin on the contraption installed in the bucket and it spins-squeezes out the water for you!
ReplyDeletelooks very cool--I'm a Swiffer user and its about once every two week(I have white tile floors )---unless there is a MAJOR spill
ReplyDeleteI feel like I spend my life mopping these days! I have a 2 and a half year old...enough said? I do have a swiffer that sprays and do use that for the odd spill but otherwise, it's a bucket and water for me. And I hate it.
ReplyDeleteCall me weird...But i like mopping more so than vaccumming and sweeping.
ReplyDeleteIt just makes the room smell delightful and the rooms are nice and clean. That satisfaction is what I love!!!
I prefer mopping to vacuuming too, because it's not so noisy!
DeleteOh how I WISH I had wooden floor. I'm sick and tired wacking out the hoover EVERY TIME my toddler makes a mess.
ReplyDeleteIs it awful if I say that I never (or at least rarely) mop the floors? I have a cleaning lady who comes once a week and in between times I have two dogs who keep the tiles sparkling if I spill any food. I'm a dreadful housekeeper but boy I can bake.
ReplyDeleteWe all have our talents Char : )
DeleteI am all for items like this that make cleaning easier and faster. I hate cleaning (and if you could see my house right now, you'd have proof). Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWe have a Swiffer, but I've never used it. My grown daughter does all the mopping, and not very often at that. We are kind of slobs around here.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great daughter to have around the house : )
DeleteI loved how you said it comes with a sprinkler system - hysterical! I'm a big fan of my steam mop - it's kind of the same principle, but just makes everything hot as heck to kill all the germs.
ReplyDeleteI like that fact that it kills the germs.
DeleteAhahaha this is great! What a clever product... I have a steam mop, but sometimes I'm too lazy to use it because it takes a while to heat up... so this would be a handy alternative!
ReplyDeleteI totally get that!
DeleteWhat a clever mop indeed. Anything that makes it easier has to be good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing great ideas to Fridays Blog Booster Party #31

Yes it really is clever. It's much easier to just grab it and do some mopping.
DeleteI like this mop. I used to use a similar one for hardwood floors, but have since switched to a steam mop. It's like magic, deep cleans everything and disenfects, no bucket needed. I really like this mop you feautured as well, anything that saves one from scrubing and hand wringing is a huge step up, and I still have my old one in the closet for when I want to use the floor cleaning solution to make the hardwood really shine.
ReplyDeleteHow cool to endorse a company and not have it be sponsored! That sounds like a great mop. I usually mop every 2 weeks. Thanks for sharing with #SocialButterflySunday! Hope to see you link up again this week :)
ReplyDeleteHa! What an amazing product! I got a steam cleaner to make cleaning the floors easier but sometimes I don't want to get it out and this would be perfect! Thank you for linking with #featurefridays
