Subject: RE: BS: Explain Me this One, Womenz... From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 20 Oct 12 - 12:37 PM Nope dear Bobert. Cos when you squeeze 'em, you can see the dirt in the water in the pail. Like Menz, they need a squeeze from time to time. |

Subject: RE: BS: Explain Me this One, Womenz... From: frogprince Date: 20 Oct 12 - 02:32 PM Womenz should explain stringy mops?? Bobert, I haven't really been paying attention to janitor supplies recently,but: I worked a student job as a janitor on campus for a couple of years, and I served a Navy hitch. The only thing we used was good old string janitor mops, with buckets and wringers. Used 'em to clean up floors with so much mud tracked in you could barely tell what kind of floor it was. Whut you talkin' about ?? |

From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp Date: 20 Oct 12 - 02:54 PM Old stringy mops are great for cleanin' floors, Bobertz, but there is one thing they are even better for. First ya clean the foor and get that sucker fulla dirt and dirty water. Then ya shove it in the face of someone who's been buggin' you. Works just great. - Chongo |

Subject: RE: BS: Explain Me this One, Womenz... From: Janie Date: 20 Oct 12 - 08:51 PM I hates them cottonstring mops. Hates 'em so much that I rarely used 'em. A quick google search does not yield any evidence that they are better than, or even equal to, microfiber mops, be they patterned after the string style or the currently ubiquitous "pad" mops. Sponge mops still have their place. |

Subject: RE: BS: Explain Me this One, Womenz... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 20 Oct 12 - 09:07 PM String mops are the best kind. But to really work well they need to be BIG and you need a BIG mop bucket with a squeezer or wringer. We're talking genuine janitorial equipment here, not the dinky crap for sale in the cleaning aisle at the grocery store. If you're not willing to invest in the real deal, a sponge mop is probably better. |

Subject: RE: BS: Explain Me this One, Womenz... From: gnu Date: 20 Oct 12 - 10:09 PM I use the two mop system* when I mop at Mum's. I use the two bucket system when I mop my own house up. It's a function of frequency. I am a bachelor and she is an old lady. I mop her shack up regular like. My place gets mopped when I fear company might arrive. Especially Mum. >;-) * Wet mop and then dry with a towel over another mop. |

Subject: RE: BS: Explain Me this One, Womenz... From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 21 Oct 12 - 06:03 AM Haven't laughed so much for ages after reading all these hilarious posts! We do part-time cleaning for a holiday barn out in the countryside in North Norfolk. And Chongo Chimp is quite right. A wet string mop makes a wonderful weapon. There's a flock of huge wicked geese wandering about the holiday barn yard, and I'm terrified of them. They can be aggressive. I always come out after our work waving the wet mop and it keeps them at bay while we load up the car with our equipment. As to squeezes, I'm happy to give anyone a nice warm squeeze whenver they need it. Life can be sad and depressing sometimes and a squeeze is always a help. So... lots of lovely squeezes heading your way, menz amd womenz, from Eliza xx |

Subject: RE: BS: Explain Me this One, Womenz... From: JohnInKansas Date: 21 Oct 12 - 06:49 AM I'll agree with previous opines that a good string mop is best for lots of mop ups, but they're really tough to use very effectively if you ain't got one them big squeezie buckets. Between jobs, there's not a lot of difference between the space required to prop either kind (string or sponge) of mop in the mop closet (head up of course so they'll dry) but the problem I haven't found a good solution to is: WHERE THE H*** DO YOU PUT THE *^&%$# BIG BUCKET so somebody won't be trippin' over it 'tween times? (We've got a really small house.) Our mop closet is two salvaged shoolhouse "hall lockers" from the "The Yard" with the panel between removed. It holds lots of brooms and mops and dust pans and such, but ya ain't gonna fit a mop bucket in it. Where the bucket is at any time depends on who tripped over it last and kicked it somewhere else. Since "she" kicks pretty hard sometimes it's an expedition to find out where it stopped last. (Of course when I trip over the thing, I always place it gently in an appropriate place as out of the way as possible where at least one of us knows where it landed.) John |

Subject: RE: BS: Explain Me this One, Womenz... From: Bobert Date: 21 Oct 12 - 09:13 AM Yes, to bare feet... Only way to mop... Well, the dreaded mopping is complete and, yes, the reason for the mopping is that we indeed have company coming this afternoon, GfinS... Not sure how or why they are coming but the P-Vine has assured me that I will eat at the table with her and her company... I still don't get the stingy mop, though... I get spongy mops 'cause you use sponges to clean stuff... Oh well??? B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Explain Me this One, Womenz... From: Pete Jennings Date: 21 Oct 12 - 11:44 AM Judi's got an electrical mop that she fills with water and steams it over the kitchen floor tiles. Don't ask me how it works...scares the hell outta the cat and the dog ain't too keen either. |

Subject: RE: BS: Explain Me this One, Womenz... From: Little Hawk Date: 21 Oct 12 - 12:01 PM Cats and dogs usually don't get along well at all with powered devices. One thing I've always found amusing is a small dog that rushes around the vacuum, growling furiously, making little charges to intimidate the hated machine and then jumping back at the last moment. It's hilarious. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Explain Me this One, Womenz... From: Pete Jennings Date: 21 Oct 12 - 02:17 PM All we have to do is get the vacuum out of the cupboard and the cats gives it legs big time! Dog still a puppy (7 months old even if he is a big 'un) so he'll probably get used to such things, after all he's bigger than most of them. |

I've got airplay on that same station, figured you would too, because they have a program just for music like yours. GfS |
