Libman Freedom Spray Mop

Cross-posted on Snarky Momma.

You've probably seen a commercial for the Libman Freedom Spray Mop by now, but now you can see it in action being used by the snarkmistress herself.  Hey - I didn't even have to get my hands dirty.  It's called "Freedom" because you don't have to lug a bucket around or put your hands around a dirty mop head to wring it out.

In this seven-minute video review I introduce you the mop and opine on whether it really replaces the traditional string mop and bucket.

Can't see the video?  Here are a couple of bullet points for you to consider as you try frantically to make that video behave:

• Yes, I will be using this mop after today.  It'll be perfect for tackling under the kitchen table after dinner on nights where Rosco forgets how to work his thumbs.
• That no-bucket deal is darned convenient when you're trying to mop a floor real quick while your newborn is napping.  Also?  No mop stink in your utility closet or laundry room: the lack of a rag, string, or sponge top prevents that whole "smells like garbage because it dried too slow" issue.
• You can use any kind of cleaning solution you want...or none at all.  If you're trying to be all crunchy Earth Momma and fill the canister with hot water and wishes: fine.
• You can toss the cleaning pad into the laundry.  Buy a spare in case your laundry rotation is like mine: slow.
• It's virtually impossible to over-saturate your floor with this mop unless the lighting in your home is really deficient.  Less water on the floor = quicker drying time.  You control how wet the floor is and spray the cleaning solution to the spots on your floor that need it most.  I think this would be perfect for bratty pre-teens who tend towards sloppy chore-completion.  Hard for them to make your tiles bubble up if they have to direct the spray, ya dig?

You can interact with Libman and other consumers on their Facebook page at facebook.com/libmancompany.  Go see what other folks are saying.  If you get a chance to try the mop, come on back and tell me what you think.  Or even better - come to my house and use mine to mop my laundry room.  There are bugs in there.

I received the mop free from the Libman company to try and tell you about.  I'm not receiving any monetary compensation to share my opinion - and it's just that: an opinion.  The mop has a retail value between $19.99 to $24.99 (depending on where you shop...I shop at Target.  I love Target.  Target makes me happy.).
