I hate cleaning. I like a clean house, but cleaning is such a tiresome chore. You would think that I would be smart enough to keep up with technology that could make cleaning easier. So when I got a chance to try the O-Cedar Easy Wring Spin Mop and Bucket System I was pretty excited. I figured we could always use a good mop, but I didn’t really realize just how good it would be.
Our first floor is pretty big and almost all of it is covered in hardwood. Looks great when you are buying a house, but not so wonderful when little boys are spilling stuff all over the place and tracking EVERY KNOWN THING across the floor. Builders have us fooled, but I digress. Basically it can be a real pain in my patootie to wash and clean. I usually use a microfiber mop cover and I find I really have to work very hard to get the floor clean. Of course that is better than the old time mops that you used to squeeze together. They never worked well and left my hands hurting halfway through the whole process.
But O-Cedar Easy Wring Spin Mop and Bucket System is A-W-E-S-O-M-E, Awesome, awesome. I love it so much. You simply fill the bucket with water and whatever cleaning product you are using. I like Mrs. Meyers Clean Day Iowa Pine. Take the mop and dip it in the bucket. Then, and this takes a very tiny learning curve, you put the mop in the wringer and step on the pedal. Make sure you loosely hold the mop handle so that it can spin around in your hand as the wringer spins the mop head. It uses centrifugal force to spin the water out of the mop head. It is like a big salad spinner for your mop!
I, personally, like a drier mop so I stepped on the pedal a few times, but if you like a wetter mop, just spin it only once or twice. The mop glides across the floor and because you can easily rinse the mop head, you don’t get any redistributed dirt. I found that this was the easiest cleaning method I have used to date. Usually I have to stop once I finish the kitchen and eating area because I have to scrub so hard with my old mop. I just get so darn tired that I don’t even get to the dining room and formal living room. Not today. The O-Cedar Easy Wring Spin Mop and Bucket System required very little effort on my part so I just kept on cleaning.
Pros:
- easy to use
- bucket is light and glides across floor
- wrings out mop to preferred dampness
- provided the best clean I have seen with minimal effort
- collapsible mop handle
Cons:
- does not have a scrub attachment, so tougher spots were a little hard to remove.
I would easily recommend the O-Cedar Easy Wring Spin Mop and Bucket System. Even the one Con was not that big of a deal since most of the harder to remove spots were softened by the mop and I simply had to scrape them up with little effort. Keep up with O-Cedar on Facebook and Pinterest so you can learn about the latest cleaning technology.
I saw this the other day and wanted to try it.

Looks like a great system!
I love a clean house, but I hate cleaning, especially mopping. That’s why it’s my hubby’s job 🙂

Mopping is such a drag, and I will not touch yucky mop water at all. That looks awesome. I must buy it.

I had a similar mop system in the past, which makes me wonder whatever happened to it! ~lol~

I had a similar one & it was pretty cool, til a guy friend of mine stomped it like a rocket going to the moon & killed it . Big Oof.

I don’t think I’ve ever used an actual mop before. We’ve always had a steam mop.

This looks extremely handy. I hate mopping and this looks like it makes it a heck of a lot easier.
I really need a new mop. I will have to look out for this one. Thanks for the review.

Mine is a different color and it’s a couple years old, but I do have this set. I never thought I’d like that kind of mop but I actually do.

That is one of the neatest mop bucket combos I’ve ever seen.
In the home we just bought we have a 17×14 tiled living area, so this would certainly be effective in helping clean the floor in there!
Tammy recently posted..A First Taste of Fruttare Fruit Bars!
Ooh, glad to know about this. We have a similar system but, since we couldn’t find refill mops anywhere, it’s basically collecting dust in a closet. I’ll have to see if we can invest in this one though.

Superior Information, cheers. Suitable for workers that will expect to trim off fat swiftly, look at our website for the most desirable solution to get fit effortlessly.
Great review! Do you still like it since you reviewed it? I’m looking for a new mop and I think this looks promising but I understand per the instructions that the Mop head needs to be replaced after 10 uses? Is that correct?
Thanks,
Holly

I do still love it. It is my favorite mop ever. I have not replaced the head yet, but truthfully I misplaced the instructions so I don’t know when I should!
That is too funny. I’ve heard that the mop head would start to unravel from other reviews. That is great news!
In case you want the instructions I found them on the O Cedar website: http://www.ocedar.com/p/easy-wring-mop-bucket
Holly@Redberrydeals recently posted..Making My Home-Made Dishwasher Detergent
I purchased the Ocedar spin mop and love it but I am unable to remove the mop head to wash and eventually replace it there were no instructions on it can anyone help me with this?
