Microfiber Mop
Filed Under Cleaning, Home | Leave a Comment
I love finding a new product that simply works brilliantly with little fuss. With three cats in the household, they have become absolute masters at tracking kitty litter throughout the kitchen despite the all the mats in front of the litter boxes (that came with sure claims of trapping the litter). Every morning used to be a chore of sweeping up the litter and then having to mop to clean up the invariable clumps of other unmentionables that managed to find their way out of the boxes as well. Real Simple makes a fantastic mop with microfibers that, unlike traditional mops that simply push debris around, grabs hold of kitty litter while you mop. You can use the mop wet or dry and without chemicals to remove dirt and debris from your floor. The mop is fantastic in the bathroom as well, grabbing hold of hair. When you plunge the mop into a bucket of water, the debris releases from the mop head into the water. Best of all, when you’re done, you can easily pull the mop head off the mop handle and throw it into your washing machine. The head cleans easily in a warm water wash and then can be air dried. The mop heads are easy to attach and detach with a velcro like fastener - no trying to insert a clumsy mop head into metal anchors like a traditional mop. The mop is relatively cheap retails for $14.99 at Target. Additional mop heads are about $6-7 each so you can buy extra to use on your tile and hardwood floors.
