I hate cleaning.  That is probably putting it mildly, and unfortunately, I spend a lot of time cleaning.  With three small humans and a dog living here, it gets messy fast.  My mornings involve plenty of milk and juice spills.  Most get cleaned up by either the dog or myself, but sometimes we miss and a little later, the floor is a sticky mess.  About a month ago I was using my mop to scrub the floors clean.  It was not coming clean so I just kept scrubbing……..and snapped my mop in half.  Just call me Superwoman.

Later that day I was having a conversation with my best friend in Ohio about my mop and how I kept forgetting to pick up a new one at the store.  She suggested I look at the Shark steam mops because she loves hers.  I had only vaguely heard of the Shark brand before – I have a very vague recollection of my uncle owning one and it getting run over {why was it outside in the driveway anyways?}.  I remembered him talking about it like he lost a best friend and I am pretty sure I gave him a hard time about being that upset over a mop.  Anyways, I figured that if she loved her mop as much as my uncle loves his, maybe it really was special.  When Shark agreed to send me the Shark® 2-in-1 Blast & Scrub Steam Pocket® Mop, I was kind of excited.  When it arrived, I almost hugged the FedEx delivery guy, I was ridiculously excited about a new mop.  My floors were equally excited.  {And the FedEx guy thinks I’m crazy}.

I looked like a little kid tearing into that package.  I’ve NEVER been excited to mop a floor before.  Well, I felt like all sorts of bells and whistles were going off as I used it, and the most amazing thing happened.  My floors were clean and I didn’t have to scrub it {so now I don’t have to worry that I’m going to snap it in half}.  It’s true love between me and this Shark® 2-in-1 Blast & Scrub Steam Pocket® Mop and I’m only mildly embarrassed by it.

If you have noticed the name of my site, you might guess that I like eco friendly solutions to everyday problems.  The Shark® 2-in-1 Blast & Scrub Steam Pocket® Mop gives me just that.  Just fill the holder with water using the clever shaped container, give it a few seconds to warm up and clean away.  No use for harsh cleaners or toxic chemicals to get our floors clean, only water. Now when Henry is crawling or falling across the floor, the only thing I have to worry about is whether we picked up the dog food so he doesn’t eat it.

The microfiber pads are designed to loosen, lift and lock in dirt and grime.  With an easy flip over mop head, you can clean your entire floor at once using both sides of the pad.  Which leads me to another thing I love.  When the microfiber pads are dirty, simply undo the velcro, wash and reuse.  No waste.

When you do encounter a tough stuck on stain, press the button to release and engage the scrubber.

There is more to love though.  While you can use the  Shark® 2-in-1 Blast & Scrub Steam Pocket® Mop with the rectangular mop head, you can also do some serious above floor cleaning with the accessories.  You can convert the mop to a handheld steamer.  With multiple accessories you can clean where you need it most.  These accessories are perfect for the countertops, the top of the fridge, and my personal favorite – the ceiling fans.

There are three heat settings – lo, high and accessory.  Set it for what you need on your floor.  The Shark® 2-in-1 Blast & Scrub Steam Pocket® Mop is so easy and lightweight.  With a swivel design, you can maneuver the mop easily with one hand for fast, easy cleaning.  A must around here where I not only clean around stray toys that have found their way back out onto the floor, but I also have to dodge the kids and dog while I clean.

As an added bonus – if you decide that breaking mop handles is your thing {it could happen, after all, we use to be cool before we got excited about mops}, you can purchase a new handle.  Actually, you can purchase virtually every piece of the mop as a separate piece if you need a replacement.  But, it is sturdy and durable and my 3 year old hasn’t broke it yet.

Have you figured out that I REALLY love the Shark® 2-in-1 Blast & Scrub Steam Pocket® Mop?  I use to be {kind of} cool.  Now I get excited about mopping my floor.  You too can be as cool as me so check out this total life changing mop.  You have to clean, why not make it easier on yourself.  What shortcuts have you discovered to make cleaning easier and less time consuming?
