Hardwood Floor Review

Roomba 760 Pet Series wins over skeptical consumer who becomes marketing agent!

I buckle down and spend $500 on this automatic, robotic, memory based vacuum that I've heard and read good things about online.  I get the (no longer) current model, Roomba 760 Pet Series, which had some extra bells and whistles like telling me when the bin is ready to be emptied (it never goes off because I run it everyday and clean it twice a week) and maybe some scheduling features or the remote I don't remember, but it hasn't mattered.  I was a little stunned I actually bought it, but I was quite excited it was on the way.  Of course, I cleaned, swept, mopped and wax shined before the vacuum came so as not to get it too dirty right off the bat and also to have a fair assessment of how it kept up with the dog.  Also, I wouldn't want it to be anything but shiny and sleek looking, right?  Trust me when I say, don't worry about it!!!  It dirties itself and earns its scratches and scrapes the hard way!! After some charging and assembly I test it hard before the 30 day guarantee is up. I set it to vacuum every day after I go to work.  Everyday (almost) I come home and the floor is barefoot clean.  Overall it's a great product and I've been very, very pleased.  I raved about it so much my cousin, with his three dogs and two birds, has since purchased two and loves both of them!!   #1) Hey, iRobot, yeah, you guyz, do you read reviews other than the limited allowable ones on your own page?  If you're going to allow us to review your product on the product page don't pigeon hole us into check box answers and drop down menus.  Let us write a review of your product.  I'm sure my review is the exact reason you don't want an open forum, but peer reviews are proven to be more trusted than advertising.  You may want to rethink that part of your plan.  I'm just sayin'.  Plus, I've already sold two vacuums for you, so a little constructive criticism isn't a bad thing.  Take it like men and let the people review freely on your product page!!!  One star lost for that alone.

Sh-Mop Hardsurface Floor Mop - How to Waxing Hardwood Floors

This is the absolute best mop I have ever used. I am a career cleaning person. I clean houses for a living, because I LOVE doing it. The greatest thing about this mop is the changeable terry covers for the mop head. I buy a bunch of them, then when I mop, every time I go over a section of the floor, I just flip the cover over to have a clean surface on the other side, then I change to a clean cover when that one gets dirty. That way, I am never using a mop that has been repeatedly rinsed out in a bucketfull of dirty water. Always a clean, fresh mopping surface. Then I throw them all into the washing machine to have them ready for the next day’s work.

I always felt that the absolute best way to get a floor its cleanest was to get down on my hands and knees and wash and dry it with terry towels. But that can be very impractical, obviously. With the sh-mop, I can duplicate that cleaning procedure with the ease and speed of a wet mop.

Rag mops, sponge mops, yarn mops, those disposable mops, THROW THEM OUT! Get yourself one of these sh-mops, along with some extra covers, and you too will discover the JOYS of mopping, along with a truly CLEAN floor!

I love this “mop”. it’s not really a mop… but boy does it work. It’s so simple and effective that I clean my floors all the time. I have all hardwood and tile floors. I can clean all the floors in my house, upstairs and down, and the stairway in a matter of minutes. It’s amazing. buy lots of the cotton covers. I go through 10-20 each time I do a thorough cleaning. then pop them in the wash and i’m ready to go for next time. I just fill a sink with my cleaning solution (murphys oil soap for the wood floors and spic and span for the bathroom tile floors).. dip in a cotton cover, wring and slip it on the mop and wash away. when it’s dirty i peel it off and toss it in the laundry basket and get another one. No buckets!!! the greatest…!!

Sh-Mop makes a fine hard surface floor mop that lets you clean, clean, clean those dirty floors as easy as pie! The mop can use either a cotton or terrycloth fabric cover on the bottom of it so that you can clean laminate floors and tile. Another reviewer notes that for them this mop could clean hardwood floors, too. It can help you clean your car or SUV; and it can be used on walls. However, I cannot comment on cleaning walls because I never used this mop to wash walls.

The green plastic mop is lightweight and easy to carry. The length is such that you can easily dunk the mop into a bucket of water to rinse out at least most of the dirt from the cotton or terrycloth before you clean the next area of the floor you’re cleaning. You shouldn’t have to reach down to the end of the mop to wring out the cloth.
