i agree about the disposable stuff.
i have found the microfiber mops to be the GREATEST invention EVER.
(does that sound crazed?) ;)
to mop my floors i fill the sink with hot water and some fabuloso. to be
honest, hot water alone works great but i like the smell of the cleaner.
(it's bio-friendly. i downloaded the MSDS) ;)
this cleans every hard surface in the house. tile/laminate.
with the laminate flooring one must use a barely damp mop. this is why
the microfiber is the only thing to use. it is the only mop that can get
dry enough.
i'm trying to find a wringer for the mop. the reason i found this forum.
i highly recommend the videla microfiber mop (made my o ceder)
i use microfiber cleaning clothes as well... THUMBS way up!
