Floor Mop Saga Update

Desert Lily — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 20:09:05 GMT

I received my swivel dust/clean floor mop & Bona cleaner today.

I won't ever go back to Swiffer.

The mop head is microfiber and 18" wide. It's nice & flat and went under all my furniture - no pulling any out. It picked up dog hair & dust on the 1st pass.

The swivel went around furniture legs, under the beds, around the toilets, etc.

I tried the Bona & the cleaning microfiber mop head in a small area by the front door. Really no pressure, and it worked great.

Dusting with the new mop went faster & easier, and I have more control & convenience when using the cleaning mop head than with the pads I used to use.

And as fate would have it, QVC has an e-mop for today's TSV. Perhaps I'll add it to my floor arsenal.

@Desert Lily Now that you've found the ultimate mop, what are you going to do for entertainment?

I don't see how that TSV thing could do a very good job since, unlike most electric floor cleaners, it doesn't suck up and dispose of the dirt. It seems to accumulate on the pads to be redeposited on the floor. You'd have to go behind it with a mop to get up the dirt. Poorly designed.

I have an earlier version of the TSV. I rarely use it. My swifter dust mop & wet jet do a much better job.

A steam mop would be better.

I'll never forget the very first time I mopped my kitchen floor with a steam mop. It was shocking. The pads were black! I couldn't believe it b/c I thought I was doing a good job with my Don Aslett microfiber mop. Now I depend on a steam mop to really clean my floors. For me they aren't clean until I use a steam mop on them.

@Desert Lily Please tell me what brand and where you purchased. Thanks

Hi @mspatmac It's called the Bonpally 18" Microfiber Mop, and I got it at Amazon. It was $22.99.

I just got an email from my brother after asking him about a mop, and to wash his floor he uses the Libman Freedom mop. Home Depot & Walmart carry it. No batteries, you can use whatever cleaner liquid you want, & it has a microfiber mop head. Sounds good to me if I need to wash the floors on both levels on the same day.

Hi @Kachina624 Between searching for the perfect mop and posting here, I write novels for other entertainment. I'm writing a 4th book in a 3-book series I have, & I plan on writing a 5th one in the series. The main character is a man with an ex-wife & a son, and I decided to expand on them. I have 9 other novels that aren't part of the series, & I upload my novels to Kindle but never give out info on these boards.

I don't want a dusty floor to get in the way of my writing focus LOL

@Desert Lily Sounds like you have plenty of entertainment besides testing mops.

@SilleeMee

What brand floor steamer are you using?

I was using a Monster I bought from Q years ago but my Bissell cleans so much better. I use a microfiber mop for quick clean ups.

My steam mop is a Light 'N' Easy and it's just what the name says. Bought it from Amazon five years ago. It's not there any more.

@SilleeMee @Nightowlz : EBay has some open box, used and refurbished.

@SilleeMee : I could use this on my kitchen floor but concerned about one bathroom has the peel and stick tile.

No, you should not use steam mops on peel and stick tile.

Re: Floor Mop Saga Update

SouthernBee — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 13:23:22 GMT

@SilleeMee : Thank you. Not sure if the other is peel and stick tile.

My kitchen is small and the floor is the cut to order linoleum. But I spill a lot of stuff in the kitchen and difficult to bend over and clean. Going to look on eBay because the price is good.

I think you'll love that Light 'N' Easy mop. All you do is plug it in. There are no buttons or swtiches to mess with and is so lightweight.

What kind of flooring are you using steam mops on? Tile? Wood? Laminate?
