Vileda ProScrub

2007-05-24

Lucky me, I got one for $10.00 at WalMart.  It came with an extra sponge for free.  I liked it because it has a scrubby brush on the top and the extra absorbent sponge (by 25% the package says).  It has an easy grip handle that when pressed, squeezes/wrings the sponge.  The scrubby brush will come in handy with the kids gunky messes plastered on the floor.  It is from the O-Cedar family.

I had paid a higher price for a simliar type "quality" (so it said) one at Home Depot but it kept on falling apart. That did not last but a few years.  I would mop, and the sponge would keep on falling off and the cap on the end of the handle would fall off too.

So yesterday, I was getting ready to wash the floors.  I had my bucket of Lysol Lavendar All Purpose Cleaner suds and my ProScrub ready to tackle the floor job when all of a sudden I realize -- the head would NOT fit into my standard bucket!! That is because you get an extra wide sponge at 10 inches (stated on the package). Larger sponge equals less time to clean.

We had to find a rectangular wastebasket to hold the water.  The job was done and I was satisfied with the product.  Makes washing the floor "fun" and fast, more time to blog!

The sponge was nice and tight and did not move losely while going back and forth.
I was not slopping water or had puddles all over the floor because the sponge was so absorbent.
The floor dried in less time than usual, a big plus from the other product.

The instructions say that if you use bleach or vinegar, it will wear the sponge down and to always rinse and wring three times before letting the sponge dry out.

Then after it dried and I admired the floor, the traffic came through the house and the clean floor did not last long.

I had also considered getting one of those ProMates, the steam heat cleaning systems but did not want to spend that sort of money.  We ordered a Shark from Overstock.com but it came broken three times and we had to return it three times.

Such is life -- always cleaning up one mess after another.
