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

Is this something revolutionary?
It's just that about 15 years ago I had an Addis mop which sounds similar and I used a microfibre cloth tucked into it rather than disposable wipes.

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.

Oh yes, I bought one in Lidl years ago, that might reach the ceiling!

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.

My husband uses the squirt-on Method Rhubarb scented liquid too, not the cheapest but you don't use much, it works very well and smells lovely. He uses it with a microfibre mop but I guess it would work with cloths on a Flash mop.
We use the same mop with different liquid on our sealed wooden floors.

With four dogs and adult children still at home and entire downstairs laminated or tiled they are a bloody godsend !! Now I’m singing the song !

Where are you going to send the used pads to the recycling centre?

Thanks for that info - bought one ages ago but not used it yet.
So very useful to know before I start.

I am still trying to figure out why people mop their ceilings 🤷‍♀️

Me too.

I'm wondering what's wrong with me .....

Mind you, DH did splat some funny little flies that kept landing on the ceiling and and to keep washing off the marks!

Useless….don’t clean the floor. Went back to proper bucket of hot water and mop .

I never get rid of spiders, I like them.

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

Once you recognise spider poo you start seeing it everywhere. Venetian blinds are the worst places to spot it. I have a special vileda supermop that I use to remove cobwebs. I’m at my daughters at the moment though. She has one of those glass skylights and wasps keep coming in when I let the dog out. They fly up to the sky light and disappear. A day or so later they drop down onto the island under the skylight because the resident spider has finished with them so I shout thank you spider to it. I don’t dislike wasps but my dogs tend to be allergic to them and I have a fear of drowsy wasps hiding in accessible places.
