The mop

Makes me really angry …

Its so freaking difficult to get the hair out of these things … Even though i try to brush the entire floor before mopping … but still the hair come out of somewhere or the other and stick to the mop …

I use the thread wala mop … should I get a different mop or use a different cleaning technique? :konfused:

Re: The mop

You'll have the problem with stray hairs no matter what kind of mop you use, I've tried all kinds and still find pesky stray hairs everywhere. Sometimes I'm amazed that I'm not bald.

Re: The mop

Re: The mop

You guys are not diligent enough with your hoovering.

Re: The mop

I disagree :)
I've swept the floor, then vacuumed it and then mopped it only to find stray hairs. My theory is that that its probably hair that's shed from my clothes? Can't think of anything else....

Re: The mop

We have these three:

  • Swiffer sweeper (dry and wet cloths)
  • Swiffer sweeper vac (which is okay... but runs out of battery waaay too quickly.)
  • Shark steam mop

I personally like the steam mop.... because it not only gets the job done but is also cost effective (like someone already said, the replacement cloths for the swiffer mop/vac can cost you quite a bit in the long run.)

Re: The mop

To add: If your main concern is the hair strands on the floor, then you'd be better off with either vacuuming or using Swiffer dry cloths.

Re: The mop

i vacuum the floor as well before mopping but yes there will always be little bits of hair even after careful vacuuming :( and for those of you who don't like spending the money on the swifter replacement pads try the vileda pro mist it works just as well and the pads are washable so you can just throw it in your machine along with your clothes and that saves you in having to buy the replacements for a while
