Joy's Mop Helper from me...

[ Edited ]

 Brought this over from the post I have on HSN...

Just my experience using this.  

 

I see what is happening to those who don't like it. 

Maybe this will help you guys. Let's start from the top okie dokie...

 

*You get it out of the box, unlock  both lower and upper locks, now let the parts fall down and lock both locks so that it will be more stable. *** I found if you have the mop head firmly on the ground  and you put one hand on the long colored part and one hand on the lock and turn the lock only it works great! (You're not twisting the long colored parts at all just the lock.)  I would not hold this up in the air to turn the locks, think of your ceiling fan, your pictures, your families eyes ha ha!!  Smiley Happy...    By the way, the locks are only the small-ish parts that say lock and an arrow and these really only go one click to unlock and one click to lock. 

 

*You've got your mop and your bucket full of water, swish as usuall    (I found it to work better while it was locked so that I could get all of the mop head wet... me personally...) 

*While it is still in the bucket unlock both locks... bring the mop straight up out of the water...

 

* Hold the bottom colored part and hold the top colored part and plunge down with the top colored part  - it does wring itself (let the mop do the wringing)... Keep doing this until you have gotten it wrung out to your desired dampness...

 *let the unlocked parts fall all the way back into place (there should be no plastic white parts touching the floor or sticking out) now make sure you lock it all back together

 *mop as usuall.   It should not scrape anything, if it is scraping you didn't let the bottom fall all the way back into place...

 

Also, I did not unlock the mop until I was ready to wring it out. This is the only time it should be unlocked so that you can use the self wringing helix thingy.  

Now practice!! Smiley Wink Give it a good go and then see.  I am all for trying stuff until you get it!

Just want to help any way I can!

 

 

 edit: 

 

Look on hsn.com as Joy has made a new how to video! This will help alot!

My wife bought 2 of these, 1 for her mother. If she has a problem with hers, I will certainly have her read your helpful tips. Contractors are still replacing our floors/walls and many other things after our home flooded with sewage in November, so it may be awhile before she breaks it out to use it.

 

Very nice of you to post these tips and I thank you.

ThIs kind instruction above by Suzy CurlyQ should help others, because it seems some are confused about the usage, and how this Miracle Mop was created to function easily.

@Suzy CurlyQ

that was so kind of you to post the detailed instructions.

i actually LOVE my mop and had little problems figuring out how to use it. it did come with good instructions on the mop head and on the item page.

 

i will be buying a second mop.....i want one for dry and one for wet. i really like the bucket and the design and its features.

 

there is also a youtube video that a customer did to help out.

Geez,  if a Joy's MOP  is that complicated,  I think I'll stick with my sponge mop.

That youtube video is a joke.  The woman didn't even know which end was up.  Who needs a mop that comes with instructions anyway??  Oh, and after you are finished mopping up the floor, you have to touch the whole wet, dirty mop in order to get it off of the handle.  I saw this on the demo on the show, with the other blonde woman mopping up the floor.  Ridiculous.........

Re: Joy's Mop Helper from me...

Thanks Suzy CurlyQ, I received mine last week and love it.  This mop is perfect for me.  It is built really well.  I have had mops with weark handles.  This one is really different.
