Having been trying since before Christmas I finally got a Flash Speed Mop delivered on Saturday. It's is so light and easy to use , no dunking and squeezing. You just attach the floor cleaner pad and off you go.

Thought I'd share because I know how we all love anything that makes life easier for us.

I just love all the cleaning aids you can get these days... The trouble is ...the minute you think you have bought the perfect one ....you see an advertisement for one that is even better!

[Maggsie in reply to AgedCrone]

I know, I have tried many of them and the 'miracle' products. The cupboards are full.

[AgedCrone in reply to Maggsie]

I just returned a gadget that “seemed” to be perfect to move furniture across the room.

Sadly it was so well shrink wrapped, I couldn’t even get it out of its box...let alone work out how to use it!🤯

[Maggsie in reply to AgedCrone]

My dad used to say that the only things the Yanks gave us was shrink wrap and VD, and neither were any good!

I've just had a look online, it looks useful. Might just get one.

[Maggsie in reply to Mmrr]

Got mine on line from Wilko, they have it on offer.

It must be easy, my wife actually likes using it!!

[Maggsie in reply to FRreedman]

Me too, I've mopped everything in sight since Saturday 😁

I just bought a cheaper equivalent from home Bargains . It’s my new BFF 🤗

[Maggsie in reply to AmandaTF]

Ooh, didn't know the did one. I saw that B&M had an equivalent to the Power Mop but hadn't seen the Speed Mop. Got mine on offer in Wilko.

Pleased for you. Have they been in short supply? We have tiling in the kitchen but need more robust cleaning help so decided to opt for the Karcher upright hard floor cleaner. H being h insisted on non slip when choosing which is great from that point of view & one dog who slips due to having very hairy paws. The upshot is it's fine under foot & paw but too grippy for cleaning & boy does it get dirty quickly with two dogs going in & out of the garden. Microfibre mops just shred as do traditional mop heads & cellulose sponges so the time has come to bring in the big guns.

[Maggsie in reply to nomoreheels]

Yes, I've not Ben able to get hold of one since before Christmas. There were a couple on Amazon but at highly inflated prices.

I also have a bigger, badder device for when the floor needs it but I'm hoping that if I use the speed mop every day or so I won't need to drag out the big guns so often. 😃

Are the cleaner pads reuseable Maggsie? Looks like they’re one use from the blurb?

[Maggsie in reply to KittyJ]

No they're not reusable Kitty but they do smell nice. I'll save the proper pads for a good clean and use the floor wipes from Aldi for everyday use. They attach in exactly the same way, just not quite as thick or wet.

Having said that I'll just stock up on the pads when I see them on offer.

[KittyJ in reply to Maggsie]

Thanks Maggsie, I don’t use wipes but I’ll have a look for biodegradable floor ones or one with a washable pad 😊

[veg_c2000 in reply to KittyJ]

Hi Kitty - the wipes can be recycled via a company called "Terracycle" - if you google them you can see if there's a location near you.

Thanks Veg, I can never get the map on there to work 😔

[Tyred]

They are great. Got the Mrs one for Christmas and she loves it now I've straightened it out after being wrapped around my head!🤣

[Maggsie in reply to Tyred]

I wanted one for Christmas (OH thought I was mad) , but everywhere had sold out. I did get an electric pepper mill though.
