TGIF friends! I hope you’ve had a wonderfull week so far! Today I want to share with you something that has definitely made my life easier when it comes to house cleaning. Come check out my new O-Cedar Easy Wring Mop!
If you are like me, house cleaning is a necessary evil. But guess what? Today I mopped the hardwood floors and I didn’t hate it! Last week I discovered this mop at our Lowe’s store and I figured I would give it a try! I mean, I will do anything to make mopping an easier and more manageable task. It’s called O-Cedar Microfiber Easy Wring Mop.
The O-Cedar mop kit comes with everything you need. This bucket is all-in-one and has a foot pedal that you use to wring out the water from the mop. The more you pump the pedal the more it spins out the water so you can make the mop as wet or dry as you like it.
This is the mop head and it snaps into place on the end of the mop. After you finish mopping you simply pop it off and wash it in the washing machine. I’ve washed mine once and it came out very clean and white. Nearly like new!
See how the mop fits snugly in the drain/wringer on the bucket? The bucket has a fill line so you only put enough water and cleaner in so that when you wring out the water the dirty water falls in the bucket below. (About a gallon.) Also, the bucket is not very heavy and has a handy handle on the top making it easy to move around as you mop.
And this is my go-to hardwood floor cleaner. It’s Murphy Oil Soap. It comes in a concentrated formula so you use about ⅓ cup per gallon of warm water. Murphy’s oil soap has such a fresh, clean smell that lingers for a day or two after you mop and is available at the grocery store or your big box stores. You can also use it to clean cabinets, tables, chairs, wood paneling and laminate floors. A multi-purpose cleaner is always a plus in my book!
So, today I decided to tackle the floors on the main level of our house. First, I put all of the chairs and stools on top of the table and countertops so I could clean thoroughly underneath. (Also a good time to clean the felt pads on the bottom of the chairs of dog hair, a never ending reality with golden retrievers.) Do you spot Lacey sleeping in front of the sofa? She’s waiting until the floors are nice and clean before she starts doing her job of messing them up again. LOL, but such a sweet girl!
I vacuumed and then tried out my new mop. And it worked like a CHARM! My floors look so pretty and clean! The water in the bucket got dirty quickly so I had to change the water a few times but that was easy to do. I can’t believe how smoothly it went! I’m a huge fan!!
This mop retails for about $32.98 or so at Lowe’s Home Improvement stores Not bad for making my life easier! Have you used this mop and if so what do you think? Please let me know your thoughts or if you decide to buy one too. I swear you will love it!
Well, I’ve been working as hard as Cinderella all day and I think it’s time for her/us to have a little Friday cocktail! It is almost 5 o’clock after all. 😉 Won’t you join me? Have a wonderful weekend and let’s chat again soon! xoxo Dell
