most awesome mop EVER!

super cool product post:

ok….so….i just mopped the floors…usually this entails using a swiffer and swiffer products. however lately i’ve begun to greatly dislike the amount of waste and type of waste involved with swiffering. seriously. dust pads you just throw away and mop pads you toss, both of which have plastic in them and just go fill up landfills, not to mention the chemical cleaning solution.

SO….this last weekend, as i was self-loathingly perusing the cleaning aisle for dust pads, i found the omop! it had the fundamental design of a swiffer, with a bottom for attaching pads and a long handle to push it around, BUT…..the dust pads are COMPOSTABLE! and the mop pad is WASHABLE microfiber! and the mopping solution is BIODEGRADABLE and won’t hurt my puppies! (note, eric and i are going to start composting…we throw away so much that we can use)

and, btw, it totally works better than a swiffer, my floors are much cleaner and smell nice and lemoney-gingery. 🙂

anyhoo…just wanted to share my super cool omop in case you, too, are sick of producing so much useless waste. 🙂 on a side note, it does come with a lot of packaging which i just had to throw away because we don’t have good recycling facilities here….kind of a bummer, but it is offset in the long run. and if you’re that concerned, just mop the floor with water, vinegar and a cloth. 😛

    We have lots of tile, so we bought a helper: iRobot Scooba 🙂

    She’s loud, but she gets the job done.
