Does the mop head need to be presoaked in order to pick up a spill. Thanks

It does work better if pre-soaked. I've used it dry but it's not as effective.

I think this would be your best bet. You must presoak the mop head adequately before use. The first time I used the replacement I soaked the head for an hour. Hubby said we should make sure it was wet clear to the core. Since then I have never had to resoak since it is in constant use. I use castlie soap and clorox in my water. There is constantly a bucket of clean water sitting around. I do not leave the mop in the water. I clean after use and wring out well. Then I just leave it sitting next to the bucket. With 2 shelter rescues and a 5 month-old puppy mill rescue, it is in constant use. Urine on the floor is the norm around here. Nothing has affected the mop head. There are no bits and pieces of foam coming off of the head even after the daily abuse. Constantly using the clorox has not harmed it. You will feel the head soften a bit over time which has allowed me to use it on a tiled floor and still get the grout clean. I hate mopping and this is the first one that I actually like using. It has been in constant use since June and the head is still in great shape. Also, unlike other mops, the head is secured to the handle with large screws. No breaking of plastic nuts or poles causing replacement before the head is actually totally worn out. I believe that this is the perfect mop for your facility. It will definitely be getting the kind of abuse that I give it everyday.

You can try but making the mop head stay flat with out the gravitational force may make it harder than if you just scrub. I know shark has a mop that has attachments that you could use but this particular version doesn't have them.

Step on the white fringe of the mop on the side - (do not put your foot on the blue part) at the same time twist with the handle it should just snap off. It's really easy and you shouldn't even have to touch the mop head.

I have two mop heads, and spray them with the cleaner. When the mop head gets dirty, I put on a clean one. I do one small area at time, and then walk an old bath towel over the wet surface. That leaves the floor clean streak free, and almost dry. The cleaner itself does not leave streaks, but if the mop does not pick up all of the dirt, there will be streaks. It is not the fault of the cleaner.

Here is what I do when that happens. Dip the mop into the water, raise the mop out of the water, let it drip a few seconds. This will pull down all the strands and allow you to put the mop head into the spinner without the strays watering down the kitchen. It works for me once I discovered how to do it.

It is not a mop. It is a sweeper, the dirt gets trapped in a small tray under the bottom. I've used it on my kitchen floor a few times without having to empty it.

Yes, you wring it out with your hands. Just like you would wring out a cleaning cloth. This product is a must buy, better than any mop on the market!

It does not. The head is too big to get into the corner areas. Have you ever had the steam/water drip from the safety valve instead of going down into the mop head?

Yes it does. There's also a handle on the outside of the whole can at the back so if you are clearing off the floor, say for mopping it, you can grab it with one hand

It has to be a mop with a screw on at the bottom to accommodate the mop head. I hope that helps.

I had the same problem when I first started using mine. The secret of keeping mop together is where you hold the mop. YOu must hold it on the little sliding plastic piece in the middle of the mop handle, so as not to unscrew it.

No, you wet the Blue mop head, squeeze out all excess water, spray cleaner on the floor and mop. Works great on Laminate floor.

The mop head can swivel to the other side of the mop which would be clean again. I also have the heavy duty mop which has one side that is very thick piling (is great for wood floors) and the other side is the terry cloth. I love both of them!

No you still need to sweep or vacuum,sorry also this mop bucket will flip over when using the spin to wrip mop head out!

Dear Shani,Thank you for your recent inquiry. It is not suggested that you would need to sweep prior to using the scooba. I hope this information helps. Please let us know if you would like further assistance. Thank you and have a great day. Amy PrestonHammacher Schlemmer Customer Service

The mop does not come with a handle. If you already use Shurhold deck brushes then you already have a handle to use with the mop, otherwise you will need to purchase a handle of desired length.
