Product Review

 For years now, I have been using the OCedar spin mop. I like that it spins the water out for a dryer mop. I used it in the kampground , as well. I had three of them. What I didn't particularly care for, was that the dirty mop water was what I rinsed the mop in. 

Solutions I could come up with, was to use two buckets. One with clean water , while the rinsed out dirty water went into the other bucket. Not a simple solution, by any means. It had me toting a mop bucket in each hand.

Now that space is a real issue, I can't have two mop buckets in use at one time!! I mop every day. Yes, it is a big pain in my rear, but it needs to be done. Dog slobber, water from their dish and sometimes pee on the floor is just not acceptable to me. Let's not even tak about the dirt they track in. HeWho refuses to take his shoes off at the door. He does this in his recliner, so he is not a big help either. A rug on the floor is misinterpreted to be a pee pad by the canines. 

So I did some research and found a more acceptable solution. Did you know there are many mop buckets that have a separate insert to hold the dirty water? Are they expensive? Yes, they are. I looked at all the ones I could find and read all the reviews and ended up purchasing one.

Walmart had it, they actually have everything and deliver free. This one is from Gazebo, Inc. It takes up only a 9" square of my valuble space. Less than $35 and it came with SIX mop heads! I had a flat mop head before a long long time ago and I really liked it, so I was certainly game for another one.


It was delivered today and I have already mopped the house! The mop stores in the bucket and it will fit easily in my pantry area. You put the mop in the water side, mop an area, then put it in the "dry" side. There is a plastic "blade" that scrapes the mop head clan and pretty dry. It readily picked up dog hair (the bane of my existance) and it scrapes off and stays in the dirty water side!! I love it!


Isn't it cute!! Since my birthday is the 26th, this is my gift to me! My twins are 47 today, and I still call them "the twins". My babies!

      The swiffer spray formula is not good for dogs, especially floor lickers like mine. I they smell bacon cooking (a rare event since HeWho is not supposed to have it) they gather in the kitchen waiting for grease splatters to hit the floor!

    I'm surprised the dogs are not house trained. I'd hate to be mopping every day. Here I'm much lazier, I clean spills, but only mop once a week.

      They are house trained, but I have varying ages at any given time. Older dogs leak, younger ones can be excited and pee a little and sick and rescued dogs are smetimes just scared and pee for no particular reason. Then there is the slobber from the water dish and wet feet after a rain. Never forget that I am mariied to a man and that comes with messes of a different kind!! Making me love a good mop!

      Since I no longer watch TV ads, I have to research on line!

    I rarely mop. Usually I just take a wet dish towel and swish it around on the floor with my foot.

      Ellen, you made my morning with this! You describe perfectly what I do! White ceramic tile shows drips, etc. clearly, and the dishrag takes care of it. With my foot.

    Interesting mop bucket. I was just googling to see if I could find one for me but I none of them look like what you have. Any other identification on the bucket/mop? Thanks...I'm a wienie dog mom as well as cat mom and could use one of those for sure. :)

  Let's see if I did this right! Hopefully I will be able to add some pictures. Only one way to find out .... This is where it all started. On a rainy day in October, 2021. The first view of the rest of our lives. Here he is, the love of my life pondering this property he had proclaimed to be over our budget.  Here is the front view. The drizzling rain makes the house look like it needs a good power wash. Not to worry, we have one. While I am not a big fan of the screen door entry, this can be changed. This is the view that convinced HeWho proclaimed this property to be over the budget I had set to make an offer that very day. You can't see it from this picture, but a trout stream with rushing water hides down below. I will eventually get a good shot when I finally start to make some steps down to the water. We are old and do not want to fall and suffer any broken bones! The area behind the stream is never to be developed. This existing tiny shed will become my sewing room. I ...

  While awaiting the newest stove delivery I have been working in my She Shed, but the last several days have been overcast, damp and chilly. This has kept me inside. I tired quickly of Netflix and TV in general. Idle hands make me anxious, so I employed the help of HeWho sits and got down all the boxes of photos to sort. I have been saying I would get to them one day when I had nothing to do ..... Strolling down memory lane with each stack. I kept stopping to text pictures to my kids and laughing with them. Then I hit a stack that made me profoundly sad and happy all at the same time. It was pictures with my sister on a cruise with her friend that became mine, too. We had so much fun despite me being homesick. Here we are departing. The winds were high! This is my sister. My big sister, always ready to take care of me. My only sibling. This is Gloria, partner in crime to my sister's antics when I wasn't around. Three three of us indulged in a rum drink called "the Love Co...

Final Chapter!

  So, you may recall that the delivery did not happen on Tuesday, but was supposedly changed to Thursday. I was skeptical. I was right to be skeptical. HeWho patiently waits on hold, was told that the stove had yet to arrive from Atlanta. They were unaware that he had been notified by text that the stove had arrived in Murphy the day before ad was ready for pick up. When he confronted the store manager with this bit of information, the excuses began once again. The delivery truck was already out for the day and nothing could be added. The stove did not arrive before 6am and therefore could not be added to the day's deliveries. Judge Judy is apt to tell a witness that if you tell the truth, you don't have a need to remember what you said earlier. Finally, HeWho has had enough! He told the liar on the other end of the phone to cancel the order and refund our credit card. I was listening and can tell you I have never heard such relief in a man's voice as the liar's had. He...
