OK, I need a GOOD mop. Does anyone have expertise in this area?

[PottyCock]

We have slate floors and polished floorboards. DD has started to crawl this morning and I am about how dirty she got. I hoovered and mopped yesterday and still it was filthy .

We need a better mop. I'm thinking one of those squeegee squashy ones. Anyone have a fab mop and want to share the brand?

MPPAW - I did hands and knees throughout my preg and I was HUGE! It's great for encouraging your baby to turn to the right position (spine weighs them down and they rotate until they use your tummy as a hammock, if that makes sense)

[MrsThierryHenry]

I never use a mop. The best way is always a damp cloth, bucket of soapy water, and hands and knees. No need to sweep and mop, either - you do it all in one go.

[PottyCock]

yes you do

my life is transformed

on the packet it says you actually just use water, but I've been using soapy water too. come back when you've joined the cult us.

Thanks mppaw Think i need to get one next week

[mppaw]

Blossomsmine, you use plain bubbles and water...it is truly amazing.
You get 2 heads with it. The first one picks up all the dust and surface dirt, then the other head once wet makes the floor all clean and shiney.

Hand and knees !!! Not with this bump, thank you.

[PottyCock]

hands and knees?!

[ramonaquimby]

think you're better off scrubing on your hands and knees than a mop - would do much better job imo!

Those Eco-Mops are absolutely wonderful - bought one at Homebase last weekend and was horrified by how much dirt it got off our "clean" floors.

[blossomsmine]

Yeah, but...........what liquid do you use along with the mop???? I want one, but does it actually clean or just dust???? I used to have a vileda thing that you just used to kind of dust the floor.

got mine at john lewis today. it's great amazing at picking up dog hairs...

[Saggarmakersbottomknocker]

What is this mopping of which you speak?

[blossomsmine]

What do you do then? Spray the floor with water and then use your mop?

[PottyCock]

two days in and still loving it.

i'm like a new woman

[mppaw]

Am also a member of the eco mop appreciation gang. It rocks.
(sits and cuddles mop whilst rocking to and fro)

[PottyCock]

I hate cleaning. This mop's a bloody miracle.

[ilovemydog]

wow. i didn't know there were alternatives to string mop

[PottyCock]

Oh God, I am in mop heaven.

I know it's sad but this is a good mop, my floors are gleaming, dd is not covered in fluff and muck. Tis wonderful. And easy. I heart you Choosyfloosy

[scarletlilybug]

Can't believe I'm putting this ... but I have one similar to this and it's great. Does a good job and tons quicker than the so-called "magic mop" I had before which was complete sh*te.

[choosyfloosy]

please come back and tell me just how much it has improved your life [strange gleam in eye emoticon]

[PottyCock]

you love your mop don't you. i want a mop i can love too. i'm going to buy it - will report back later, hopefully in flurry of excitement having used it for the first time and with nice clean dd scuttling around my feet

[Sherbert37]

£19.95 at johnlewis.com with free delivery. Spare cloths £11. Looks good. Think that is what I need too.

[choosyfloosy]

well, boringness is relative - you could either get a horrible mop that doesn't work and spend time worrying about it, or buy this one that does work and never think about it again

actually no, I think about mine quite a disturbing amount, but always with a smile on my face

[choosyfloosy]

heavy usage - I would think so, though I can't say I'm a heavy mopper . Buy a spare pack of cloths though, definitely, otherwise you mop once and you're stuffed until the next hot wash goes through.
