This product is lightweight but is also strong and can handle heavy duty cleaning.  Well constructed.  I bought this because I needed a friendly alternative to a similar product that I find awkward and cumbersome (it uses a conventional mop-head with a spin/wring pedal).   I didn't know what to expect with the True Clean Mop and have to say I am so incredibly HAPPY to have it.  It is a product that is durable, has ease of use, requires minimal storage space, and it actually provides outstanding results.  Let 's face it -- cleaning floors is hard work that isn't enjoying at all.  None of us need gadget products that either don't work or leave streaks and make the job harder.  This True Clean Mop is obviously an idea conceived and produced by women!!  Kudos to all of you for this genius product.  I couldn't be more satisfied and am so happy to provide this rating so that others may benefit from making this their choice.  It truly makes a difficult job easy!!
