Addis Superdry Mop Set with 3 Refills, Metallic Graphite

Call me old fashioned -you can't beat the old sponge mop. - Steam cleaners are OK but I like to disinfect the kitchen floor/hallway/bathroom and loo floors and squeezy sponge and bucket do the job for me. If you're a bucket and mop kinda person, go for this. Great value and fast delivery.

Why did you choose this product over others?:This is a very good mop however, I am only giving it a 3 star rating because the delivery was terrible, it was sent to the wrong address and it also came three days late.

Ideal for the job in hand

First class and love the three refills delivery was First class.

It's not as strong as the ones I remember from years ago, and does feel like it would break if I put as much pressure on it as they used to take, but it hasn't broken yet, and is still the best type of mop, despite all the re-inventions of the wheel that have come out since these babies hit the market.

I bought this mop because it was Addis, but, oh dear, surely this can't be Addis!! Worst mop I have ever had. Poor quality, weak and tacky, it leaves the floor so very wet, plus it is very hard to actually mop with .. maybe if I was the size of a ten year old it maybe be different, but as a grown adult you have to bend down the whole mopping time to get the mop head to be level on the floor, other wise it just scrapes the wood or whatever surface yuo might have. So after using it (just that once) my floors were left wet, my back was killing me and the mop has a new home now... in the bin!

Great value as it includes 3 spare heads.

Although I actually purchased this to wash down my walls and ceilings with Sugar Soap, I ended up using an ordinary Heavy Duty Decorators Sponge instead.I have however tried using this to clean my kitchen floor, and also gave up and used a cloth.As other reviewers have stated, the twisty knobs that hold the sponge heads in place, don't hold firmly enough, which causes them to fall out during use. I put small pieces of rubber between the plastic sponge backing and the plastic mop head to tighten the twisty knobs' grip, but that's a pain in the backside, and shouldn't be necessary, and as soon as the knobs loosen, there's nothing holding them on to either the mop head of sponge, so they could easily get lost.The gap between the plastic sponge backing and the mop head forms a shallow well that collects water, which is not forced empty during the wringing process, so any vigorous action may cause the collected water to come out onto the floor - which isn't much help when trying to dry the floor!If you're wanting to simply drench and wipe the floor with water, this does just fine of course, but a controlled washing leaving the floor evenly damp isn't practically possible. Although the wringing action feels relatively robust, it simply doesn't work very well. The sponge isn't fully compressed, so a fair amount of water remains in it, which is then left in dirty streaks on the floor.There's an integral scraper at the front of the mop head, supposedly for something like dried spillages or something (I can't honestly imagine needing to scrape at the floor in my home to get it clean - I'm not a caged animal!), and the scraper sticks out further than the sponge, so it's not possible to push the sponge right up the the edge of the floor. You can't properly get into the corners!Honestly, it just doesn't feel good to use, and doesn't do a good job; it's more bother than it's worth. I can't recommend a specific alternative, and will personally be doing things the way I always have - with a cloth in my hand - but then my kitchen isn't huge.I have in the past done a fair amount of cleaning work, and found old fashioned string mops work just fine (no good for washing the ceilings though >.<) and are dirt cheap.This isn't badly made, but it is badly designed, and I would highly recommend NOT buying one. I can't think of anything good to say about it.
