Thank you O-Cedar for sponsoring this post. 

A couple weeks ago I shared about how I automate my regular household tasks into a schedule so that I don’t worry about them the rest of the week. Well, Thursdays are my floor cleaning day and from last week on, my hardwood floor cleaning will be about a hundred times easier because of this new mop. Yep, I’m at the point in my life where a new mop completely makes my day. And my week.

For the last several months I had been inventing the perfect mop inside my head every time I cleaned. Do you ever do that? Tweak things in your head to be a little bit more useful to you? My mop would be lightweight, but strong. It would allow me to rinse and wring the microfiber easily while standing upright, and it would be simple to clean and easy to store. Then I discovered the EasyWring Spin Mop and it turns out that my invention had actually already been invented, and it is better than I imagined!

When we moved into our house, newly built with 1500 square feet of hand scraped hickory hardwood, I was really attentive to the instructions for taking care of the flooring. The recommended cleaning method was to “vacuum regularly with a bare floor vacuum attachment, then mop using a lightly damp microfiber mop and mild detergent. Do not wet mop.” What does “lightly damp” mean, anyway? I had been really careful about ensuring my mop wasn’t too wet, which entailed awkwardly tucking the handle under one elbow at the sink while I used both hands to twist and twist until the cloth felt “lightly damp”! It wasn’t a super easy process, but I wanted to care for my new floors as well as I could.
What I didn’t realize I was missing out on was the salad spinner of floor cleaning! The bucket that comes with this system has a foot powered spinning basket that allows me to wring the mop out to the perfect level of “lightly damp”. It also helps get the microfiber almost all the way dry for sopping up extra water (where I accidentally spilled my bucket.) Just dip and spin, and the mop is ready to clean from one end of the house to the other.  The mop head snaps on and off for machine washing, is triangle shaped to fit into corners, and has a telescoping handle that stands straight up by itself even when it’s at full height and shortens by half for easy storage. (Just like I think every dress should have pockets, I think every cleaning tool should stand by itself to make life easier.)
I love when I find the perfect tool for a job, and the EasyWring Spin Mop is certainly an easy clean for hardwood floors. I grabbed mine at a local Wal-mart because it was Wednesday and I couldn’t wait for Prime delivery like I normally would. It’s also available at Amazon and Home Depot. Happy cleaning!

The O-Cedar EasyWring Spin Mop & Bucket System has a built in wringer activated by a high quality foot pedal allowing you to control the level of moisture. Cleaning your floors has never been this much fun. The built in splash guard prevents overspray onto surrounding floors and walls, and the triangular mop head reaches into corners with deep cleaning microfiber strands to attract dirt and grime. The head is washable, and refills are also available. The telescoping handle extends to 48 inches and can collapse for easy storage. EasyWring Spin & Bucket System is proudly assembled in the USA.
