Mop pail for elderly folks?

[nez]

Yes.
I know.

It would normally come naturally as they age and feel more and more taxing to do household chores.

My mom although old is still very energetic type.

 

[nez]

think it's called a "spin mop w/ step pedal"

Thanks

Oh man. Thanks for confirming

TS,

Possible to suggest Steam Mop to your mum?

It's cleaner, doesn't need detergent and dry fast. The steam mop can set amount of steam ejected hence wetness to your mum preference.

I am using one. The price can be <$100 for normal model. Expensive model can be four or five hundreds.

Thanks, I will look into steam mop.
Is it suitable for vinyl flooring?

Then better not. Although lower steam level (hence dryer) might be ok for the vinyl floor.

To be on the safe side, maybe can consider this then.

Roman magic mop.

Dry easy mop easy.
Can sweep together.
It won't leave the floor wet.

Can find compatible pail and imitation at shopee.

Buy those squeeze by rolling like the original roman magic mop. Not those that fold and clamp like 3m

I don't know people don't use that. I use that for the past 15 years.

Actually,

The sponge traps alot of moisture inside, making it a hotspot for bacteria, fungi and virus.

Unless you change the sponge frequently.

wa vinyl need to be quite dry.. no wonder your parent wants to make it very very dry.

ur detergent is suppose to kill the bacteria.
And the mop itself says antimicrobial

i recommend this type. very convenient.

just lift up and down.

flat enough to go through tight spaces.

shopee can find cheap version. look for those wider version to mop bigger area.

and sometimes when im lazy, i just put the big wet tissue on the floor and use the mop to drag mop the floor. ill spray some mr. muscle directly on floor and it does the job.

Not true actually.

Don't take my word for it. Cambridge research shows even bleach cannot kill all the bacteria.

Your could be distributing germs all over the floor with a heavily contaminated mop.

But if your house has no immunocompromised, weak, elderly or young individuals, I guess should still be fine.

 

[diequick]

Thanks. You feel it is clean enough?

Its good enough for me.

Test it out. If you take a completely dry piece of scrotch brite cloth, use your hand to wipe a tile. Its v hard to move it if you exert pressure. Now wet it, just fold in 2, roll, you get a short roll, 2 fist wide nia, just squeeze, most of it is out, if you wring it, not too much effort even for older folks.

Now take that moist cloth and clean the same tile. then you feel. Magic-clean wiper is pretty amazing, it exerts a downward force, so if you use dry cloth on wiper, its seriously hard to push it along.

I use it with Magic clean floor solution (put it into a used Dove pump bottle). Then where i need to mop extra, i just pump 2-3x, and mop. If you need added pressure, gently step on it. The only downside to this method, if there is cooked rice or sticky stuff, it will be compressed onto the floor, nothing fingernails cannot get rid off. And dont dump the wiper into pail, its held by glue, just wash the cloth and wipe the wiper will do.

stop using traditional mops la

you can just diluting the dirt on your floor

buy a vac mop

dirty water gets sucked into the dirty water tank and clean water comes out to mop the floor
the roller spins few hundred times, better than u push back and forth

 

[Apparatus]

All these spin mops the bucket can only contain a small volume of water because of its functions. If you want to mop 3 rooms how many times you need to change water?

With traditional mop and the same size empty bucket you can have a bucket almost full of water enough to mop 3 rooms. With a larger volume the water is less dirty

And how you clean those good microfiber mop head? Throw inside the washing machine to clean? Must buy new mop head every few months?
