Spin & Go Mop Review & Giveaway

{This giveaway has ended. Congrats to Harriett $183} Trust me when I tell you, I mop a lot of floors! I vacuum over 5000 square feet on a daily basis and a lot of that floor also needs to be mopped. While I don't mop daily, it's something I do at least weekly.

And it's a job that I dislike. When I clean, I want to do a really good job with as few chemicals as possible. For years, I mopped on my hands and knees until I discovered a large microfiber mop that changed my mopping world forever.

Never one to pass up an opportunity to improve the way I clean, I jumped at the chance to review the Spin & Go mop. It just so happened to arrive at my doorstep just as I was finishing up our construction project and was about to clean the new floors.

So I filled the bucket with water and set out to mop our rubber exercise room floor, the bathroom tile, and the kitchen tile. My kids ran to help with the "spinning".
Here are my thoughts:
The mop is super soft and the bucket is the perfect size for holding rinse water. The mop did a great job cleaning the dusty surfaces. It was fun to use the spinner and it really did ring out the mop (think salad spinner, but requiring less work.) It was super convenient to have the bucket/ringer right with me while I was mopping, and I loved not having to touch the mop head in any way.

I'm glad I used it on our tile and rubber floors and not on the wood flooring. I think the mop does a good job, but the mop ends can sometimes fold under, exposing the hard green plastic top and scraping the floor. I wouldn't want to risk scratching my hardwood floors. Tile can take it, so I'm happy to use this on my new tile floors. Also, I would prefer a bigger mop head. I realize that a bigger mop head would require a bigger spinner and bucket, but to mop as much surface area as I do, I really need something that gets the job done quicker.

Want to give this mop a try for yourself? You're in luck, one Suburban Jungle reader will receive a Spin & Go Touchless Cleaning system!
