You may remember my mop woes of a few weeks ago (not being able to find a replacement sponge and the fun of dragging 2 kids in and out of stores looking for one). So today I broke down and bought a new mop. Mostly because I'm tired of spot cleaning the kitchen floor on my hands and knees with a sponge. The new mop is blue and about the same as the old one I loved, a yellow sponge with a handle to squish the dirty water out. It didn't have the green scrubber part on the front of the sponge but I figured I could live without that feature.
So I cheerfully prepared the kitchen to use my new mop. I stacked the chairs on the table, swept the floor twice and filled one side of the sink with hot soapy water. I let the new mop soak up the water for a few minutes and then pulled it out to squeeze out the excess. And the @*$&@^!*! plastic squeezie handle broke off in my hand! *#&@^!*@!
I mopped the floor anyways, using the broken handle to squish the water out (and getting my hand wet in the process, ick). Since I bought the stupid thing this morning and I still have the original packaging and receipt, I'll be returning it. And so I'm back in the market for a new mop again. *sigh*
