Odd as it may seem, one of the things that I’m excited about lately is my new mop. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. My floors are sparkling clean right now because I’ve been in a mopping frenzy.
Most of the main floor of my house is hardwood, and I want those floors clean, especially for my grandsons who sweep across them on hands and knees. I prefer not to clean them on my hands and knees but most mops leave them too wet, which is not good for hardwood.
The new Libman mop is the perfect solution. It has an attached bottle that I fill with vinegar and water and allows me to spray when and where I desire. The flat swivel mop is small enough to get into narrow spots but large enough to cover enough floor space. Best of all, the pad is washable. No need to spend money on disposable ones. Just remove the pad that adheres on the mop head like velcro, toss it in the laundry, and replace it.
If this mop is something you’d like, shop around for the best price. I paid $20 for mine at Meyers but see that it is more than twice that much on Amazon.

that is good to know. I have a swifter and have thought about getting one. the problem I have is that it is so hard to get into the cracks I have to hav Jim clean them on his hands and knees every so often because it make the floor look dirty
I’m not sure if there is any easy way of cleaning the cracks. The pads on this mop do have a strip that is slightly abrasive. It doesn’t scratch the floor but does help in getting up something that is resistant to a quick sweep.
If you have white grout, there is a cleaner I get at the dollar store that works very well. I wrote about it in a past blog.
