My favorite MOP!

It took me a few years to find a mop that I liked. One that did a good job so I wouldn't have to get on my hands and knees so often. I like my Swiffer mop, but not the way you would think. At first I liked the wet pads, but after a few moppings the floor seemed a little tacky. I like my Mr. Clean. I like the way it makes the house smell when all the floors are cleaned with it.

Before I mop the floor I make sure I have some mixed up. I have a special bottle (make sure its labeled!) I mix a little Mr. Clean and some water in the spray bottle.

A clean rag is needed for this way of mopping. I chose a pack of white washcloths because they can be bleached. (and I've learned to buy colored washcloths for in the bathrooms so their is NO confusion)

I tuck the dry clean rag (washcloth) into the tabs of my Swiffer.

So that the bottom is completely covered, just like when you use their pads.

Then I spray the Mr. Clean on the floor and wipe it up with the mop.

You can see the dirt that it picks up, and the reason I bleach my rags.

This is easy enough that my kids mop the floor. My son is very visual so this works well for him. He tries to see how dark he can get the rag from mopping.

Money wise this works for me also. A couple bucks for the Mr. Clean and a few bucks for the washcloths. We have been using the same Mr. Clean and washcloths for over a year and my floor gets mopped at least twice a week. (It gets cleaned more now that the kids can help)
