 Can mopping be fun? Aug 31, 2010
Well, it can be fun if you own this handy-dandy MysticMaid mop! Cleans floors like a demon with no messy mop water! Just take off the mop pad, rinse and keep cleaning. The amount of dirt this thing picks up is incredible! Great mop!
Great Mop Aug 14, 2010
This mop was bought as a replacement for one I purchased 20+ years ago. When the old one fell apart, I needed a new one. It is almost identical to my old one and workes just as well. It is great on tile and wood. Can be used wet or dry. I have two cats. One is a long hair, and her hair is very fine, making it difficult to pick up. This one works! I love the adjustable handle. No more problems with a handle that is too short or long.
Deffinately worth the extra $$$ to have something that lasts and works great! Gotta get one of these for my daughter.
Great for tall, easily-tired people! Aug 01, 2010
For a mop, $30+ is pretty steep--almost too steep. But I tried Mystic Mop anyway and I'm SO glad I did! It literally takes me a third of the time--and considerably less elbow grease--to mop my floor. I tire easily due to a health condition, so finding this mop was a godsend.
PROS
1. The mop-head swivels. This means I can get around chair legs and under tables without moving anything. I can also get under radiators and under my couch and dressers. Brilliant!
2. There's no bucket to drag around / refill
3. There's no squeegeeing / wringing out. If you only have one pad, you may want to rinse and hand-wring in the sink after two or three rooms, but this is light-duty wringing--nothing like dealing with a traditional cotton mop. Since I don't want to deal with this, I bought a couple of extra pads and just cycle them through the wash.
3. The mop is feather light, and cuts through gunk with hardly any pushing down or scrubbing. This allows me to mop in a more comfortable position (think pretend-microphone!) when I tire of the standard one, and doesn't leave me exhausted.
4. The handle is AWESOME. Very sturdy, despite being both ultra-light and extra-long. I'm tall (5'10"), so this was key! You can adjust the handle with a twist, and re-tighten it with another twist. Another reviewer had a problem with the handle collapsing when she applied pressure, but I didn't have this problem (maybe she didn't tighten it enough?). I think the mop would be long enough for even taller people than me, maybe up to 6'5" even!
5. The mop collapses and hides away better than other mops
6. Eco-friendly--no harsh cleaners, and no throw-away wipes like with Swiffer, etc.
7. Versatile: can be used dry for dusting or wet for mopping. Also good for windows, supposedly (I haven't tried that yet).
8. It leaves my floors SPOTLESS. Despite using nothing but water, my floors feel and look cleaner than ever!
CONS
1. Price. Even Amazon's price (currently $33) for this mop is triple the price of other mops. In addition, if you really want convenience, you have to spring for extra pads, adding $20-$30 to the price of the mop itself! TOO much for a mop (grumble, grumble)...except that for me, it was worth it. (HINT: I got my pads 50% cheaper at a certain auction site. The guy's shipping price was ultra-low, too--under $2!)
2. You're not supposed to use bleach on the pads. This is inconvenient, because the pads get very dirty and it makes you want to disinfect them. Also, I'm unwilling to wash them with my clothes unless there's bleach in the water. This means I have to do a load just for mystic mop. Also, the pads don't get white when you wash them in the washing machine without bleach. They come out gray, which makes you wonder how clean they are. They do come out white when you wash them in the sink with bar soap, but that's too inconvenient for me...
All-in-all, I'm thrilled with this mop. I will probably end up taking my chances and just using a little bleach in the water (at least enough to disinfect--only takes 1/4 cup) when I do my bathmats. It was between the Mystic Mop and the Enviroclean floor steamer. I have no doubt I made the right choice!

Mop Away the dirt and animal hairs Jun 21, 2010
I have had a Mystic Maid mop now for 15 years and use it nearly every day. There are lots of products that mimic it but none as good as Mystic Maid. Don't be hoodwinked into buying others! Buy the best and get the best results. I purchased a new one only because I wanted some of the newer mop heads. I found that they have improved the mop heads to work even better than the first one purchased. Dirst and dog/cat hairs just can't hide from the mop and the turning abilities of the mop handle is just terrific!

Best mop I have ever used Mar 01, 2010
I use these mops for my cleaning business and they not only do an excellent job, but they are sturdy and last forever. My clients have now been asking what I use thinking it is a new product, although it is not it is simply the mop doing the great job.
