I was using a cheapo crappy sponge mop (that my husband bought) and then it started falling apart while I was using it, so I replaced it with this. I’ve used cheaper quality twist mops before and loved them. So I was super excited to find one with a little sarcasm on it, and it’s pink and white, super girly and cute. I finally got the chance to use it today. It picked up the red clay dirt commonly found in Virginia (that my dogs track in) with very little pressure, whereas with the old sponge mop I had to practically break my back to scrub the dirt off my floor. I absolutely LOVE The Accidental Housewife and will be recommending it to all of my friends.
