Kaki Shopping

I have been yearning for a new mop for a really long time, because the current one that I was using had a rusty handle and the retractable portion of it was not working well too. Is it weird that I like mopping floors?Anyway, as I was out shopping one day, I spotted Scotch-Brite’s High Performance Micro-Fibre mop on sale in the supermarket. I was eager to try it out because it claimed that this mop can pick up dust particles which were not able to be picked up by any other conventional mop. After some deliberation and some days later, I walked out of the supermarket RM49.90 poorer, armed with a new mop in my arms. Let me tell you that I have never in my life paid so much for a mop! And I have no regrets doing so.Yesterday was the grand opening ceremony of the new mop. I unwrapped it eagerly, read the instructions and tried mopping the floor with it. Apparently it was not necessary to put any detergent while mopping unless you wanna remove a stubborn stain. So I dampened the mop with just some water and mopped away!

And you know what? After mopping with my new micro-fibre mop, the timber-strip flooring in my house really felt way much cleaner! Smoother, slidable and best of all, it didn’t leave any water stains on the floor. Well, some mops do that after the water has dried up, but not with this mop. I also like it because the swivelling action of the mophead allowed me to reach narrow corners with so much ease!

The one thing I have against it though is that there is no lever for me to squeeze the mop dry. At first I used my hand, but that was uncomfortable, so I became Miss Innovative and started to step on the mop to squeeze the water out before mopping. Worked like a charm!

The micro-fibre portion can also be removed and washed and then left to dry. I noticed there were also refills available for sale once the micro-fibre piece wears out.

Bottom-line is the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages of this mop. And if you have yet to begin spring cleaning for the Chinese New Year, this is one item you would certainly find handy!
