I have searched for this mop for years after buying two "As seen on TV". The amazing sponge material leaves your floor dry almost instantly. I have a highly reflective white porcelain tile floor, very tricky to keep clean. I've used some floor cleaners that left a glue-like coating on the floor that kills the shine and had to be scraped up with a razor blade. My solution: Windex; all shine and no residue. But back to the mop: I use it a LOT always with perfect results.. no fuss, no drips, no floors to wait to dry and very few streaks. I bought 2 mops and 2 refills. The sponge tends to shrink over many years. Now the 1-star flaw and solution. The mop (as did my originals) have a problem with the handle collapsing. There's a tightener on the handle, but it's not designed with mopping pressures in mind. The simple solution: What is known as a C-Clamp available in the garden hose section of your home improvement store. It's a perforated metal tape that has a screw-like mechanism on one end. (It's used on hose-end replacements, but available separately.) You just need a small one for this diameter mop. Attach the C-Clamp just below the "join" of the handle. Tighten with a screwdriver, and you're set for life! This mop is so easy to use, you may take up mopping as a hobby! P.S. Always let the mop soak for a few minutes before using as the instruction on the mop indicates. Otherwise, you may damage the rinsing mechanism.
