This is exactly the kind of thing that gets stuck in my craw and I won’t let it go because I am that old fart who won’t put a 4 ft. tall piece of metal in the trash. Dear readers, I am the insane person who spent an hour of her life tracking down Type S replacement mop heads online and bought 10 of them, shipped directly to the nuthouse.

For months I have been searching for the Type S mop head which means I’ve been swabbing the wood floors with a stanky sponge for some time now. You need to understand that there is nothing wrong with this mop except that I couldn’t find a new spongie for it. It is the mop I use not for sentimental reasons but because it is not broken. Historically, the aforementioned Type S mop head spongie would get gross and I’d replace it. The mop is blue and metal and has hinges. It’s a fucking mop. It shouldn’t be so hard.

For months I looked, staunchly refusing to throw out a perfectly good mop just because it’s not new enough or cool enough. Finally I sat down, I researched, I found the mop heads. I am no less crazy but the floors feel cleaner already.
