I'm binge watching your videos instead of cleaning my house. It's not procrastinating, it's research. Thanks!

This lady was born for this💝what a God sent

I have been a housekeeper for 12 years, and I love the Libman Wondermop. It has detachable heads, that can be sterilized for each client, and the heads are long lasting, and inexpensive.

[mfendel]

Spin mops are AMAZZZING!!! I love mine . So much less back breaking! Easy to clean easy to spin easy to mop.

[meezermom]

Your mention of a steamer scares me. I’ve never found a mop that fits my hand. This is great info. I have this video on rewind and have watched several times. Thank you! You’re so pleasant to listen to.

[grisbarajas]

Love your channel. You give me motivation to clean my house

[jenniferrice]

With spin bucket put rinse water in that and put it on a plant stand with wheels and move it that way. Have your soapy water in a small dollar tree trash can or bucket. So you wash the floor and rinse the mop head as you go. Beautiful floors and pet hair free. 😍

[demetriousjordan]

I love how efficient she is. Great video!

[helenehobbs]

When I grew up we used the mop n bucket type. But we’re taught to use boiling hot water n the water was changed regularly n floor rinsed. Worked great. The mops were washed in hot soapy n disinfected as well after use n dried in the sun.
I personally love a good quality steamer with changeable pads. Not one of those tiny ones.

[Beachbreeze]

That’s why I think so many of us older women got down on are hands and knees to clean the floor.🌺🌟🌺

[terry]

Kudos to you! You love what you do and it shows. You have given me good advice on the simplest of things, the basics that make big differences. I LOVE the "big red" Rubbermaid duster you recommended on another video. It makes my life much easier.

[jayannpreston]

can no longer get down to clean the grout with a toothbrush. WE got a Dupray Neat Steam Cleaner Multipurpose Heavy Duty Steamer for Floors, Cars, Home Use and More.. It has tubes that connect to make a long handle with a little brush on the end. Works great. We also got an O'Cedar Spin Mop. I clean the grout and my husband cleans up all the water with the mop. I have used the flat mops for years. They are SO easy to use, but aren't very absorbent. Love our new combination. Thanks for all your helpful videos!

[unspeakable.]

Hello I have bought a sabco mop from Bunnings (Australian home depot) it’s a spin mop and I got it yesterday and I love it! Sabco is a Australian version of Libman. It’s the best mop I ever had! I had lots of mops and it’s my first spin mop it was $49 Australian dollars. Have a good day.

[jackboorsma]

I use the O-Ceadar spray mist mop. I fill it up with Simple Green and Water. Works GREAT!

[karencollier]

HaHa, when I saw the title I said Yeah! The mop has been my issues since going back to work from being at home because of the covid. I’m the type that likes equipment to work for me, and not me working for it. I’m using a micro fiber mop now, I’m not happy cause I think it just smears a dirty floor, not clean it. I don’t like the spin buckets. I really like my string mops, but the issue is having to change out at each house🤦‍♀️in my head I’m singing a Blondie song “ One way or another I’m going to figure you out, I am, I am, I am”🤣 as always Angela. Thank-you for your videos❤️

[MDCCCXLI]

Instant sub, cleared my doubts before jumping in to purchase a new mop. 😊

[ToddSloanIAAN]

Thanks for the tour. What I really want is the expensive roll around heavy duty mop bucket system on wheels with the Giant mop heads that you swing around and detach to dry at night. Change the water off enough and use good Solutions with burning hot water. What you would use to clean up Hospital kitchen floor with but I don't have room for the storage of the system. Next best thing is and I need cellulose squeeze head on the long handle, in my opinion.

[priscilarodrigues]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and your English is very good I can understand very good what you say 😊 ❤

[glassanddiaphane]

I used regular string mops for as long as I remember. I just recently changed to flat microfiber mops and I find it wonderful for hardwood floors but kind of tricky to use on tiles, I don’t have a streamer so I have to do it by hand on my knees to get the results I want. Is there any technique to use the flat microfiber mops without a steamer or should I just get a regular mop for that purpose? Thank you.
