real simple mop


I tend to gravitate towards the Real Simple cleaning supplies section at Target. If someone can make cleaning feel stylish + modern, I'm in. And I'll purchase.

I was due for a mop when I went to Target about a month ago. What I found: several mops. What I bought: Real Simple's Microfiber Squeeze Mop. It's my favorite cleaning utensil these days. And yes, I'm being totally serious. I love this mop.Some of the features:

*You can use it wet or dry
*The top of the mop come out and gives you a bonus scraper. You can get those sticky residues off the wood floor without using your nail
*You don't have to keep buying new yellow mopheads (!), simply unvelcro this one and throw it in the wash

It's great. Highly recommended (along with Method's wood cleaner if you have wood floors).

have this mop and love it - the soft chamois layer really makes hardwoods look great! I think it workds especially well with Methods' poor on mop off wood floor cleaner.

I'm glad you like it. I was always wondering if the R.S. line was a bit of a scam. But this sounds perfect. (I havne't needed a mop in a while. Just a great vacuum. Maybe soon...)

Oh Kelli, I'm a fan of the Real Simple products. I think they are functional + stylish (for cleaning products). If you need a mop, this one really is the best and I've been through a bunch since I've lived with wood floors for the past 6 years.

I am a [fairly] new reader to your blog (referred by Kathryn). I too love real simple products. I have a wood floor and have never been able to find a suitable mop. Thanks for the recommendation...I am so excited to go buy it!

I bought this mop and two extra heads. While I really like the way it mops, I'm very, very disappointed in the quality. I tried washing two of the mop heads in the washing machine, and the glued on microfiber came off the sponge part. So, I thought that I wouldn't try washing the other one. That one came apart while I was mopping the floor the second time I used it. I wouldn't recommend spending your money on these.

I had the same experience ... I've had the mop for less than 3 months and I've already gone through 3 mop heads. The microfiber part always comes off. It's too bad because otherwise it works really well.
