update to my "mopping issue". ;) happy ending... Debra Keith 08-06-2006
ok. you might have been aware that i'm sort of Mop-centric. ;)

i have wasted HOURS trying to find the right thing!

i love my microfiber mop but wringing it has caused my hands to feel like
a 90-year-old woman that spent every HOUR of her 90 years trying to get
the lid off a tricky jar of pickles. every HOUR of her 90 years... and
she NEVER got a pickle!! 90 years!!! that is 768,960 hours. i'm just
thinking... those hands would HURT!

anyhoo, i was looking for a shop wringer.... those are PRICEY!! THE
cheapest one was $60 and i had to order it. that means it's hard to
return and the wait TO be disappointed would only compound my
disappointment. see my dilemma?

i have purchsed and returned 2 wringer buckets. side press and roller-
wringer.

ultimately, i found that laying a towel on the counter... laying the mop
pad on that and running over it with my rolling pin worked VERY nicely!
i thought my search was over.... until i saw this...

at the store. WOW. it was only $16 for the whole system. the mop-bucket
has a wringer that works with this microfiber mop. the head collapses
and you tuck it in... squish it... and it's dry enough to do pergo.

the only downside...?

i mopped about 36 hours ago. the floors still look GREAT... and the hubby
would get nervous if i broke it out right now and did it all over again!
:)

i mopped every hard surface in my house (i think that's about 2000 sf) in
NO TIME. the floors were dry in no time! dare i say it? $16 worth of
mop-love!!! i bought it at walmart... and still cannot believe it.

mopping. chore-turned-joy!
