I have fallen in love... with a mop.
I received a Libman Freedom Spray Mop recently and have been using it almost every single day. This mop is amazing. With 6 young children who are running through the house all day long, my floors need frequent TLC. And I can't sleep when my house is a mess. It's a bad combination.
Up until now, I've always used a traditional mop and bucket to clean my floors. I don't like to use harsh chemical cleaners and I don't like the idea of using disposable products in my home. A reusable mop and bucket of water and vinegar (or a "green" cleaner) has always worked for me, although it is a bit more work than some other types of mops. Because of the time it takes to fill the bucket and the little curious hands that often find their way into my bucket, I've been guilty of not mopping as often as I should and instead settling for running the vacuum and wiping spots with a rag by hand. Yes, I am that crazy.
Now that I have started using the Libman Freedom Spray Mop, I'm mopping more often and spending far less time doing it. I am not ashamed to admit that I have fallen in love with this mop. Let me tell you why...
The Libman Freedom Spray Mop is unique because it lets you use whatever type of cleaning solution you want to use and it sprays it right where it needs to be-on your floor. You love good old-fashioned water & vinegar on your floors? No problem. You want to use a certain type of cleaner? No problem. You just want to use plain water? No problem. You want to use more than one type of cleaner for different types of floors in your home? That's ok, too. The Freedom Spray Mop has a refillable bottle that allows you to add your own cleaning solution. You can even get a second refillable bottle and a handy stand to hold a different cleaning solution so that you can easily switch back and forth as needed. It's incredibly convenient.
One of my favorites things about the Libman Freedom Spray Mop is that it is so convenient. The mop has a little hook that allows it to easily hang for storage. There are no batteries needed to make it spray. The mop head swivels for easy cleaning in hard-to-reach spots. The refillable bottle keeps cleaning solution ready to go so there is no bucket to fill and no measuring needed. I literally just grab the mop and start cleaning. My floors have never been so happy.
The Libman Freedom Spray Mop has a fitting name. This mop gives you the freedom to choose your own cleaning solution, freedom from batteries, freedom from having to buy any kind of refills, and freedom from the old mopping bucket. I have never been so excited about a mop.
Besides all of the benefits of being green, the Freedom Spray Mop also saves money. There are no expense cleaning solutions or costly refills. There are no disposable cleaning pads. And you can even get a rebate coupon to buy the mop. I am still amazed because it's actually cheaper than my regular, old mop and bucket! Visit the Libman website for coupons.

Microwave Cleaning:
ReplyDeleteI use a cup of water with a squirt of lemon juice to clean my microwave. Place the cup in the microwave, put the power on max for about 5 minutes. The steam from the water moistens and loosens the cooked, dry food particles. The lemon gives a fresh aroma. Wipe the inside of microwave with clean cloth. The food particles come off easy.
Using great smelling cleaning products makes chores so much more pleasant! I especially like Method and Mrs. Meyers.

My favorite tip is for cleaning my bathtub's surface. It it tip #50:
ReplyDelete"To clean your shower surrounds without getting your hands wet, dip a Libman mop into a solution of 1/2 cup of vinegar, 1 cup of clear ammonia, and 1/4 cup of baking soda and 1 gallon of warm water. After cleaning, rinse with warm water."
I like that these are natural products and it is effective.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite cleaning tip is for picking up things that need to be put away. I set a timer and challenge the family. They usually get that job done before the timer goes off! Magic!

I like to break it down so that at the end of the week it is not as much of a mess. I sweep a lot quickly, several times a week. Then at the big one things go smoothly. It may be more work but, it works for me.

We use white vinegar/water mix to wipe counters everyday. Keeps them clean, works as an air freshener and deters ants.

Keep a cordless rechargeable handheld vacuum cleaner handy-handy enough to use often enough.

ReplyDeletedont put off cleaning. a little cleaning daily (or a few times a week) prevents scary scrubbing/pain inducing cleaning you put up with right before someone comes to visit. ;)

My best tip, although I admit I don't always follow my own advice, is to clean as you go. Never leave any dirt to set because then it becomes twice as hard to clean.

To save money, I use white vinegar for cleaning rather than store cleaning products.

I suggest using vinegar and rags as a greener and more economical way to clean.

My cleaning tip is to start with the first room company will enter and then move on to other rooms they would probably go to next, and so on, saving for last the rooms they won't see!
