I have been wanting one of these for a LONG time. The time was finally right and I brought her home on Tuesday. Menards had her on sale and I had a $5 coupon. Which made this about $11. I also had a coupon for a free refill bottle when I bought her. I had rebate checks for Menards which I also used, which meant I had no out of pocket expense.
With great anticipation we opened the box on Wednesday, did the "some assembly required", inserted 4 AA batteries, and away we went. Oh the ease of cleaning the floors. It was quite delightful and since it was new everyone wanted to try it out.
Tonight I got my chance. I decided to move all the couches out of the living room and clean under them. I hope I am not alone in finding some very odd items under the couches. Anyway, I got my chance at mopping ease. However, I was out of pads as it only came with two. Enter the micro fiber towel I had gotten at Menards (for free) a long time ago. Put that on the bottom and I too enjoyed a mopping dream. Now, I understand that the cleaning bottles are supposed to be non refillable, but I think I will take some pliers to one and test that theory. Also I think with ease Velcro could be attached to a few micro fiber towels and the pads could be washed and reused.
One day I will move up to a steam cleaner, but for now and today, I am most pleased to have this little mopping dandy.
Oh the oddities we moms get excited over! :) LOL . . . my favorite thing my husband bought me was a floor cleaner than has a removeable/washable microfiber pad. It makes getting up the dirt and dust on the laminate so much easier!
ReplyDeletehaha i got my bottles open with a butter knife.. just go around the edges until all the tabs are broken. then you can unscrew the top and reuse it :)
