5.0 out of 5 stars A Five-Star Mop with a One-Star Flaw, July 26, 2009

I have searched for this mop for years after buying two "As seen on TV". The amazing sponge material leaves your floor dry almost instantly.

I have a highly reflective white porcelain tile floor, very tricky to keep clean. I've used some floor cleaners that left a glue-like coating on the floor that kills the shine and had to be scraped up with a razor blade. My solution: Windex; all shine and no residue.

But back to the mop: I use it a LOT always with perfect results.. no fuss, no drips, no floors to wait to dry and very few streaks. I bought 2 mops and 2 refills. The sponge tends to shrink over many years.

Now the 1-star flaw and solution. The mop (as did my originals) have a problem with the handle collapsing. There's a tightener on the handle, but it's not designed with mopping pressures in mind. The simple solution: What is known as a C-Clamp available in the garden hose section of your home improvement store. It's a perforated metal tape that has a screw-like mechanism on one end. (It's used on hose-end replacements, but available separately.) You just need a small one for this diameter mop.

Attach the C-Clamp just below the "join" of the handle. Tighten with a screwdriver, and you're set for life!

This mop is so easy to use, you may take up mopping as a hobby!

P.S. Always let the mop soak for a few minutes before using as the instruction on the mop indicates. Otherwise, you may damage the rinsing mechanism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Leave Wet Streaks!, February 16, 2011

Love this mop. Had a similar one from a state fair promotion that fell apart finally, and I had been looking unsuccessfully in stores for something close. This fits the bill. In fact I ordered one for my daughter's in-home daycare hardwood floor cleaning chores. The pull-up ringer tugs a bit harder than some others but the sponge is damp enough to clean the floors, but not so wet that it leaves a wet floor or wet streaks. The floor is ready to use almost immediately after mopping. It seems sturdy and I'm able to grab crumbs and a bit of floor litter with it so I don't always find I need to sweep before I mop. I am very pleased with the product.

I am very unhappy with this product. The sponge fell out of the roller and I can't get it back in. It is a waste of $35.00.
