      Voila! I did it.

      See the white thingy in the middle of the pail inside. That one is to stir the water to rinse the mop. Pretty useful. Base of pail also designed such that the dirt is away from mop when rinsing.

      I bought from Isetan for about $71 after all the diff discounts. Original price is $139.
      Wow! $139 (original price) for a mop is very expensive... My only concern is the white plastic will break if we press the mop down too hard on it...

                  Thanks Faun. The white part can spin dry the mop? My friend told me the one that can spin type costs $40+.

                    Another concern is wonder will the mop drop out white threads. Some mops can drop out lots of threads.

                    But really expensive mop. I won't get this mop just because can mop up the lizards' poos.

                    Thanks for sharing though.

                      Poor thing.

                      Luckily I don't mop floor one. No strength to get rid of the water of the mop, so end up all the floor watery. I can only use the wet wipe kind of mop. This important task give my hubby do. I do the vacuum. :razz:

                        hw i wash my kitchen… a lazy mummy doing.


                        splash water from my water hose connected front he bathroom tap (long enuff), pour detergent, liquid soap, kleenex or watever, scrub with the brush, like a broom (suitable for wet usage one), then splash water again. leave water to flow into the drainage. clear draingae of debris if neccessary.

                        DONE.
