tiny floor mop

Message deleted by Gransnet. Here's a link to our Talk guidelines.

I've had a Roomba for years and it has survived a couple of floods and had a new battery and recently new brushes. It takes some of the strain off me and does a very thorough job - better than my upright. I have laminate at the moment but I have had carpets in the past and so long as the floor is flat, it does a good job everywhere. It's a good idea to empty it at least every couple of times you use it. I see there are some cheaper ones on the market these days. My Roomba is heavy to lift but it was fine before I had my compression fractures.

'Must have Ideas' have one they are currently advertising on FB. Don't know what the quality is like

My aunt who had special needs used knit dishcloths some of which reached virtually every corner of the globe. My cousins in Australia used love receiving them as did the relatives in North America and a cousin who was stationed in the USSR as it known then

I might try it!

I received an appointment for February this year in the Urology Dept of my local hospital. Since then the appointment has been cancelled 7 times. I spoke to the Booking team, and while I realise there have been strikes I’m getting really fed up. The reason the appointments have been cancelled (the Booking Clerk told me) is because of holiday leave, time after time. I couldn’t speak to the Secretary of the Clinician because she’s on holiday!! Although I had tried her number previously, but there was no answer. A representative connected to the ‘waiting list’ team called me yesterday and gave me a new appointment date - Will this be cancelled as well?

But what mop do you recommend?

I was going to knit dishcloths but ..... so far haven't summoned up the enthusiasm.

Oh! I seem to have about three balls of cotton knitting yarn (I think DD bought too much for doing craft at school), that's a good idea.

If you cannot find a string mop that is narrow enough, you can make one using a ball or two of cotton knitting yarn and a stick.

Cut the yarn into lengths twice the length you want each string to be and fold them over. Gather a suitable number of them into a bunch, insert the stick in the middle of the bunch then tie the mop-head firmly into place with one or two lengths of string or yarn.

Sorry I can't attatch a photo, but the site will no longer accept ones taken on my phone - they are apparently too large.

This is how I make dolls' mops and feather dusters and it is, as far as I know how mops were made. My dolls mops and washing up brushes can be used, so this larger one should do the job too.

Has anyone had one of those automatic robot type hoovers and if so did you find they successfully cleaned the floors? And did they last very long ie not need replacing quickly?

I had one, it was ok for hard floors but needed a new battery after a few years then didn't last much longer after that.

They might be better now.

Had anyone had a robot type hoover that automatically hoovers the floors itself? If so did you find it did a good job and was it reliable?

Well bluebellsinthewoods why would you say that? A lot of people dont know you can buy them!! Honestly there are some snappy people on here. You try to help or ask for help and is as if you are nothing.

I think you missed what bluebelleinthewoods was saying, sandeye

*^worth every penny we spent on it.....^

I thought it was funny, anyway 😂
Unconscious humour!

".... a high toilet fitted when we had the bathroom redone, worth every penny we spent on it"... made me smile . Not demeaning posters at all I promise

Sorry, have posted this in the wrong place!!!

The Vileda string type mop is excellent - I have used the other one illustrated, and although it is ok, the strips of fabric are nothing like as efficient as the string type mop head. I can get mine around the back of a Victorian style radiator in the bathroom, where I have previously had to get down on all fours and wipe around the pipework. The string mophead whisks into the space very efficiently.

I use a cotton washing up mop - bought them with 6 in a pack and they're the perfect fit for small, awkward places.

The frame has a bar around the backs of toilet and bidet'' so I cannot pull it out. I'd like wall mounted hand rails , and will find out what they cost to instal.

Meanwhile, I really like the idea of an old fashioned mop and wringer bucket, especially the microfibre mop that would dry more easily.
Thanks so much everybody!

My new microfibre mop just arrived.

I can think about cleaning the floors now 😁

We had a high toilet fitted when we had the bathroom redone, worth every penny we spent on it and it wasn't a lot more than and ordinary one. Just an idea for the future if you are putting wall bars on. Have a look at a Vileda magic mop. That has an angled head and may work.

The frame is free standing and can just be pulled forward away from the toilet for cleaning purposes, they are not usually screwed to wall or floor.

Sorry I do not understand what the frame is.

Will the frame lift out for cleaning?
