THREE VERY IMPORTANT TIPS ON HOW TO MAXIMIZE THIS MOP TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL!!! Hi, everyone. I’ve been using this mop everyday for a few months now. And I would like to share some tips with everyone on how to maximize this mop to its full potential. I wish someone had share these tips with me since the beginning. Tip 1. This is probably most important tip of all. The microfiber mop pad won’t work if it’s dripping wet or completely dry. It works best if it is semi-moist. This goes for any cleaning tool made with microfiber, including mop pads, or rags. It took me a long time to learn this because I have had no previous experience with any microfiber cleaning supply until recently. It took me a long time to realize that I’ve been using this fantastic mop in the worst possible way. This is what not to do with your mop: I would soak the mop pad in water, then attach the mop pad to the mop when it’s close to dripping wet. I was wondering why it’s not picking up any dirt like it was advertised. It was just simply moving the dirt around. Then, one day I realized what I was doing wrong. Then, from that day on, I would spray the floor with a spray water bottle. (I don’t like using the spray bottle attached to the mop, it makes the mop too heavy). Then, I would attach a dry mop pad onto the mop or sometimes spray a few times on the mop pad with a spray bottle filled with clean water before I actually start mopping. It’s like magic. My mop started picking up dirt just like advertised. Then, I would change the mop pad every 2 minutes when it would get too dirty to use. I would get change to a clean dry mop pad to continue mopping. I would toss all the dirty mop pads in a small bucket of water and brush the dirt off them when I get done with mopping. Yeah, that’s right, the dirt sticks to the mop pad so good now, that I need to use a heavy-duty hand brush to brush it off. Mopping the floor this way, uses up a lot of mop pads. I’ve had to use 9 mop pads to mop all three floors in my house every day because I had to change them so frequently. But it was SO worth it. I was picking up 100 times more dirt then I was before, using a dripping wet mop pad. (I don’t have OCD by the way. But I am severely allergic to many things including pollens, dog dander, and dust mites. It gets so bad that I would sneeze when I have an allergic reaction and my sneeze would get bloody! Therefore I work very hard to keep my house super clean every day!!!) Tip 2. I would hang my mop pads on my stainless steel shower rod to air dry when I get done cleaning it. They would be in perfectly semi-moist condition for me to use the next morning. I think putting them in the dryer is just a waste of electricity because I would have to spray water on them anyway to make them moist again to mop the next day, so why dry them completely in the dryer? Tip 3. I noticed many cleaning agents will deteriorate the Velcro on the back of the mop pad, therefore weaken its ability to attach to the mop. That’s why I stopped using Clorox bleach, and switching to using Lysol all purpose cleaner. I bought different color mop pads. I use the cleaning agents with the red mop pads to clean my kitchen and bathroom. I just use plain water with the blue and green mop pads to clean my living room and bedroom. I noticed a huge difference in mop pad’s velcro’s ability to attach to the mop. The red mop pads are very worn out already, they can barely attach to the mop anymore; but the blue, and green mop pads can still attach to the mop almost like new.
