Method make mopping fun

Now, I appreciate that the Omop isn't as pretty as some of the items that appear on this blog, but stay with me on this one for a moment: if you're someone who loves shiny floors, cringes at the sight of spilt food or mud but absolutely loathes mopping, this device could just change your life.

When I first heard about it, the Omop was yet another of those 'revolutionary' products that I imagined gathering dust after one use. But I was quite wrong in my initial assessment, as it's been so handy that I almost look forward to zooming it around the floor for a quick polish. This is because it's an 'ergonomic mop' that bends so you don't have to, making it easy to reach high and low spots that usually involve a lot of undignified crouching. It's also very environmentally friendly, as it takes re-usable pads that you can bung in the washing machine (they actually become better at cleaning with each wash, I'm told) so there's none of that confusion at the supermarket over which expensive refill you'll have to buy when you've run out.

I love my Omop, and I'm sticking with it! It's not quite in the 'GHD straighteners' league of instant essentials, but I'd say it's getting there. £29 at John Lewis
