Housework Rant – I Hate Mopping
I have always loathed the idea of pushing dirty water around on a floor with a grungy mop. I would really rather just get down on my hands and knees and use a clean rag that I can rinse out frequently. As much as I hate to admit it, though, the old I get – the more uncomfortable the whole hands and knees thing is.
I have been through more floor mops than I can list right now, all in the quest to find one I don’t think is disgusting. I know there are the contraptions that have disposable pads and little nozzles that spray out cleanser. And while those are well and good, I am actually more in the market for something much simpler. I just want a mop I can grab when I need it.
I did find one that has a flat pad that you cover with a washable terry cloth cover. In fact, it is what I am currently using in the kitchen. So far, it seems to work well. I can go over the floor quickly and then put the cloth cover in the wash with the other kitchen rags, with bleach and hot water. That way, all fabric parts are completely removable and there is nothing that can sit and mildew. To me, this seems like the best option.
I know, most of you are probably thinking I am just being ridiculous to not break down and buy one of those systems with the disposable pads, but for me it all comes down to the recurring cost of an appliance and it is not economical to have to re-buy pads indefinitely. Call me a penny pincher, thank you very much
