Imagine this image is me, doing something I HATE. The task itself I don't, but the manner in which I must do it. I am used to mopping with some form of a mop that you dip in a bucket or even the very Laodiean way of a Wetjet Swiffer. But either way, I could stay standing up. Is it the same here? NOoooooooooooooo. The way that everyone I know here (except the aunt from Holland) does it, does it with a bucket of water and a cloth. Not any cloth, but THIS (sad that it was so easy to find a picture on the internet) yellow/orange cloth.

You take the silly yellow/orange cloth and put it in your bucket of water and then wring it out and use this crazy device (pictured below) to smear it around.

After smearing it, I only know what I do (or am required to do @ work). I rinse it in my 2nd bucket that has only water, then with the crazy device 'scrub' the water that I just put on the floor and wipe it up, then do an extremely wrung-out cloth again over the part I just did to take the streaks away.
Enough venting about dweilen...
Ugh that sounds awful. Mopping is not one of my favorite jobs to begin with and I have a traditional mop. Can't imagine doing it this way! Surely your Mom can send you a Swiffer Wetjet for Christmas? :D
ReplyDeleteIcky! You need a better mop!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a real pain!!! Maybe you need to import a swiffer. :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks awful!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe after mopping for a length of time at your job, you'll start enjoying the Belgian way of mopping, and start mopping like this at your house! ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't work too hard! :)
