    As somewhat of a mop enthusiast this is admittedly an area of functionality I had not previously considered.

        Well for some reason I couldn’t find a mop-based Lemmy instance so I hosted my own.

            Well when it comes to mop techniques it comes down to 2 standard motions, the figure 8 and the linear stroke technique. The technique used is determined by several factors: room size, mop type, and floor material. Now, when it comes to choosing a mop there are several more factors than just room size and floor material. Mop head material, handle type, mop style (standard, powered, steam, spin). Now, if you’re looking for a good all around mop recommendation I would have to give it up to the O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop, it excels in most mop related functions and should make the mopper in your life happy.

                While I of course worship the mop itself he could be considered our Messiah. He showed us the way.

    I mean, a salad spinner would do the same thing, but it wouldn’t add the extra mop water flavor we all love.

      I still don’t know how mop water always converges to the same flavour with repeated use, even in different environments.

      Like, the mop in a commercial garage, your grocery store (unless it’s been used to clean up an oil spill), and in your basement all produce very similar tasting water.

          I’ve only extended bar mop when my friend threw up all over the bar and they made us clean it up.

          She ate a bunch of fruit loops or something so it was like this weird strong sour fruity smell. Thinking about it makes me feel gross.

          So I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure if not used to clean up fruit loops vomit it would be similar. I’ve used a lot of mops in a lot of places.

          You’d think it’d be more tangy what with all the dried piss on the floor in the men’s, but no. It evens out still.

            Even bathroom mops tend to converge on that same flavour.

            I did a stint as a grounds keeper at a theme park, so I’m familiar with mop water from bathrooms to back offices, to fast food floors, grocery stores, commercial garages, and office space. I even mopped a laser tag room — that one was epic, you have no idea how much stuff people lose while playing laser tag, I found two watches and tons of change, all sorts of stuff. Dusty as heck though.

            As I mentioned elsewhere, no, I have not experienced bar mop water except one time when drunk, so not a fair sample.

      ohhh and then you can keep it in the fridge for extra spaghettiness for long time.
