I bought one of those Flash speed mops (I know, you hear the darn song every time you say it πŸ™„). I've just done my kitchen ceiling with it and I'm very impressed.

My motto is best not to look - and if you must, remove your glasses first.

Midgey I did tried using my steam mop initially but it was too hot for the cladding on the ceiling.
Smileless I don't know if its sticky because I haven't walked on it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚but I know what you mean, I seem to get the sticky feeling on my floors no matter what I use (usually the steam mop).
I've got the pvc panels on my ceiling with spotlights, and I also used it to do the tiles that are higher up. The pads were very wet and to mop the drips on the floor I simply put a piece of kitchen roll on the end - fitted perfectly.

All these places people clean that I had not even noticed!!

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I might notice a cobweb in the corners of the ceilings occasionally and remove it!

But wash it?

I bought one recently and find it very easy to use. I found some cheaper wipes which fit for only 99pence a for 24.
The guy who does that advert looks a lot like the actor who played the part of the vicar in Poldark.

Kitchen ceiling??

I wondered, too - then my husband said he'd vacuumed the ceiling today (I was out), as there were some cobwebs - I had left them for our resident spider.

They all congregate in the conservatory.
One parachuted down beside me the other day.

Another one lives under the cupboard in the downstairs loo, it just comes out each night to say hello. Goodness knows what it lives on as there are no flies in there!

I never get rid of spiders, I like them.

I use reusable pads

Supernan Fri 18-Aug-23 11:52:20

What a great idea - use them on the ceiling. Maybe now I can get that exploding kombucha off the ceiling. wink

Hi Ladies.
If you use the washable cloths on your flash mop does that mean your using soap and water as I’m guessing they’re not impregnated like the disposable ones.

I don't like them pooing everywhere, despite living in the downstairs loo, it is not toilet trained.

I shall investigate this Speed Mop.

The only mop which may impress me is one that is automatic and cleans floors by itself.

Nannan2 Fri 18-Aug-23 12:25:54

Smileless- yes i noticed same- whatever i use always the slippers sticking- is it to do with a vinyl flooring maybe?

Callistemon21 Fri 18-Aug-23 12:27:17

I bought a Vileda spray mop with reusable mop head.
That is good.

Nannan2 Fri 18-Aug-23 12:34:13

Oh the guy with the dog on advert? Not noticed if he looks like poldarks vicar, must look closer next timeπŸ˜„(do you mean the pastor? Was'nt he poldark's brother-in-law?) Anyway ive tried all manner of floor cleaning but i found best thing was to hire a cleaner to do it 🀣

This is the Lakeland one I use, replacement mop pads are available.

They can be used damp or with the addition of floor sprays, my favourite is Method’s Rhubarb floor spray.

Changing the subject in a way (but talking about ceiling spiders), my daughter saw one on our lounge ceiling and, for some reason, named it Katherine. I let her stay as she was by the window and very good at wrapping up midges. She disappeared one day and I thought she'd gone out of the window.
Found her again when she dropped onto my head when I was making the bed and I'm (almost) ashamed to say that she didn't last long after that... I screamed and did the dance of horror until she fell off, whereupon the dog pounced and splatted her.

Enyo has been producing these mops for years You Just wash the mop heads & reuse

The present lovely lass who cleans for me is from Albania and like all the others, doesn’t appreciate wasting money. The mop gets used with a damp cloth poked into the corners built for the cleaning pads. After every use the cloth get rinsed out and popped into the washing machine. I’ve still got the original pads supplied with the machine!!!!
