When we were stationed overseas I remember seeing locals using these weird mops with velcro and thinking "How odd, but the floors look so clean!" There was never a chemical smell in their homes either so you can imagine my confusion. Years later I began hunting for cleaning supplies that only needed water as I began developing sensitivities to many common household cleaners. I purchased this mop online and you cannot imagine my surprise that THIS was the velcro mop from over 10 years ago! LOL I absolutely love how well it cleans and I am so grateful to not have to take allergy medications just to mop my floors! Thank you so much for bringing this to the US!
