Wonderful mopping system - works and works as advertised!

Walk in and find my husband using my kitchen mop to clean our old, run down concrete basement floor. New, I need a new one urgently! I keep mops, sponges and brushes for the bathroom and kitchen separate because the thought of cross-contamination makes me shudder. I'm sure there are people like me who will be outraged by this. I usually only buy my mops, or new mops for the traditional spin mops I use, from Dollar General or Walmart. But this time I decided to see what I can find here on Revain. That's when I discovered mops. call me naive I never realized these things existed outside of commercial applications. After researching all of the options and configurations I found here, it took me a few days to narrow down a few mop systems based on my new criteria and finally select what I consider to be the BEST ADVERTISED mop system. Almost a week later. Aifacay Mop System won my personal Revain promotional contest! The next question was, will it be able to implement the claimed features and performance in real life? To find out, I decided to order Aficay's mop system. Well, my new Aficay mopping system was delivered SUPER FAST! I ordered it on Wednesday 17/06 and it was delivered 2 days later on Friday 19/06. I tore open the box right away and assembled the mop in less than 5 minutes. One of the microfiber cleaning pads was pre-attached to the mop head so I could see how it attached without having to interpret the instructions or let myself figure it out. Not that it's difficult. However, there were 7 extra cleaning pads in the box, so as promised, this mopping system came with a total of 8 reusable/washable microfiber cleaning pads. Bucket. Please note that there is only a plug on one 'dry' or crushed side of the bucket canister. I suspect this should give you an easy way to dump the used rinse water and refill with clean rinse water during your mopping session. The handle was disassembled into 5 parts and it was very easy to twist them together. The fully assembled handle is over 4ft long so while I can use it that way, it's too long for me to comfortably/naturally mop the floor as a 5ft 6in person. I used a mop for the first time. with all sections assembled, but I will probably remove one of the sections for a more natural flow. However, if I plan to use this mop to clean walls or down to my 10ft ceilings, I will definitely consider this 5th section be happy. The top of the handle itself is nicely padded, making it very comfortable to hold and reducing the risk of blistering or pinching skin on your hands and fingers, as can happen with bare wood or metal handles. There is one on the top Hard plastic loop You can hang the mop assembled or alternatively store it upright in one of the bucket compartments. You can also disassemble the whole thing and stow all the parts in the canister of the bucket. I was surprised by the small size of the bucket itself and the inner chambers that hold water, but the amount stored in each chamber is usually equivalent to an amount of water for general cleaning. On one side of the "wet" filled with water based on a cleaning solution and on the side of the "dry" with clear water for rinsing and "squeezing out". With this mopping system, you're actually scrubbing, not wringing, as slot-based dip mechanisms remove excess water from the microfiber cleaning pad on each side. And when you dip the mop into the dry side after a few passes across the floor, the scraper mechanism also pulls dirt and hair out of the mop head, leaving all the dirt behind in the drying chamber. If you are not used to using such a mop, using a small amount of water may seem strange. It's not like mopping floors without banging an oversaturated wringer mop (or sponge mop โ€” same thing!) on the floor, smearing the cleaning solution back and forth, dunking the old mop and wringing it back into the bucket to to suck up some dirty clean water .to try again. But all you get from your mops is a false sense of "cleanliness" because you have a fresh cleaning solution smell and the water-to-dirt ratio seems great! But that's not the case. With the Aficay Mop System, you start with enough clean water to make multiple passes with the mop. When you're ready to wring out a regular mop, with Aficay, instead place the mop in the drying or rinsing chamber to rinse and dissolve dirt, remove particles and hair, and leave it all in the chamber. Then insert the head into the "Wet" chamber to continue mopping with fresh, clean water with each subsequent touch to the floor. You'll find that you need some water to really clean the floor, and you'll soon realize how disgusting you've been living all these years. You can NEVER GO BACK. I know I won't. The wipe function itself is great too! The forward and backward movements are very natural and free. The flat head ensures the squeegee covers the floor evenly with each pass. This mop also cleans to the edge, and contact with the microfiber pad does not interfere with its frame at any angle or side of the mop head. Its turning movements are gentle so that its head doesn't get stuck and fly around its axis like crazy. You can easily guide the mop forward and move smoothly around corners and under furniture. Haven't tried it yet, but dry cleaning or dusting ceilings or walls should be a breeze! Therefore, after a few days of owning the Aficay Mop System, I can say with confidence that this product actually works as advertised and successfully fulfills its promised functions! I am 100% SATISFIED AND VERY SATISFIED with my decision to purchase the Aficay Mop System! Aficay is spot on! - Provides a separate chamber for washing and wringing/dry cleaning - And waste water never mixes/meets in the bucket canister - Large microfiber cleaning pads clean the edge of the mop head's "frame" to keep the edges clean - Lots of microfiber pads included - Cleaning pads are reusable, washable - Adjustable and stable stand - Comfortable grip - Mop swivel system works well - It's fluid and durable! (*see my important note below) - the bucket is made of durable plastic with well-molded parts - the Aficay is very durable! - as few frills as possible = less chance of breakage and fewer worries - compact storage - drain plug to make it easier to change dirty dishwater frequently - a bonus! - less than $50 if possible * IMPORTANT NOTE - MOP HEAD / ROTARY MECHANISM: I recommend new owners study / study the design of the mop head rotary mechanism to learn how its rotary motion works. This will help you understand how to maneuver the mop in almost any situation or use case. The frame of the mop head is plastic, so I assume it can break if someone roughly handles the swivel mechanism. For example, if the squeegee is stuck under or around something, a careless tug or harsh pull on the squeegee without logically interrupting the movement that caused the squeegee to become stuck in the first place can damage the squeegee head and cause cracking or cracking. .
