New Best Friend

Meet my new best friend:





I know it sounds pathetic, but after scrubbing my floor on my hands and knees for months - I decided to invest in a mop. And I mean invest. Can you believe that Swiffer charges over $20.00 for a mop? I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't get 25% off plus a free box of refill pads ($7.00).


Boy did my floors need it.





Here is the pad after moping the dining room and kitchen. Granted it hadn't been scrubbed in a while. Initially I was thrilled with the results. I've noticed that the is still some residue on the floor after the first mopping so I'll try it a few more times and if that doesn't help then I'll make my own cleaning solution. It would be guaranteed to smell better. The cleaning solution it comes with is pretty rank.


I feel stupid for being so excited about a cleaning product, but I have caught the spring cleaning bug. Today at work I disinfected my entire desk. I love cleaning products - especially the ones that make cleaning easier - hence my new best friend.

  1. Oh by the way - isn't it ridiculous that you have to add four AA batteries to make it work - considering what I paid I would have thought they could throw some in.

  2. It's okay, I was once very excited to purchase a nice vacuum. It comes with experiencing the back-breaking joys of domestic life!
