Libman Wonder Mop

I've used steam mops, they've all built up scale to the point of being useless within a couple years at most plus the pads always seem to be in the laundry when most needed. Cleaning up a doggy accident from a large dog? Forget it. So I went back to swifter types but with my own DIY cut microfiber cloths. Either I'm constantly changing them or washing them out by hand. Too tedious when cleaning a larger home especially with physical disabilities. I despise regular mops, so what's left? I decided to try the odd looking Libman. I LOVE IT! I found the perfect device in the Libman. Not only can it mop floors, I use it to scrub baseboards, mop UNDER furniture, get those tiny crevices clean between furniture and the wall but it's far more versatile! You know that annoying area behind the toilet and alongside the toilet, yep!, it can clean those areas too (And the toilet too if you're creative!) I was struggling to clean cobwebs off our porch, the Libman does it better than anything else I've tried! Thankfully they are economical enough I bought a second Libman so I have one on each level of our home. Now how to use? Soak for several minutes. I found it easy to use with the shower / tub. I have a spray bottle with pine sol that I spray prior to mopping. Sometimes I add an ounce of clorhexadine to the spray bottle since we've been exposed to hospital acquired MRSA. Just spray an area, let sit a few minutes then mop. I usually start by spraying several areas as the mop is soaking, then I mop an area or two, then spray additional areas, allowing them to set up while I finish the first areas. This allows the chlorhexadine the needed 5 to 10 minutes to do it's magic. Since I'm disabled it's easy to do smaller areas with breaks in between, especially since it cleans sooo much more thoroughly than other methods! Each time I rinse out the mop I use the clean mop on baseboards and lower furniture legs first, before resuming on the floor. It's a real back saver! I have a quarterly cleaning routine so each week basic maintenence is done, then each week focuses on deeper cleaner of a specific room or area (like front hall and front porch). This way I know each area gets a deep cleaning periodically without killing myself lol, the Libman is very instrumental in my efforts! The instructions state to use with hot water, warm water is fine. Though the instructions state to use the power wringer 4 times while rotating, just once is perfectly fine for my use. The power wringer locks in place while mopping while still being easy to use when wringing. I love the fact my hands never touch the dirty water or mop head! Extra tip: the Libman mop is superb for cleaning ceiling fans, even those hard to reach fans! No more climbing precariously on beds and furniture to reach the top of the fan blades. Just clean the fans more frequently (since it's easy!) to avoid knocking large dust bunnies onto the areas below....
