Smart String Mop

This is absolutely worth it's money, knowing I can machine wash it clean every time a use it leaves me feeling my floors are really clean, as I've never felt before that I can get an ordinary mop head clean enough. It is really long lasting too. It gets used and washed in the machine a couple of times a week and I've had it for two years.

BEST MOP - EVER!!by TERESA

5 stars out of 5

Smart String Mop

Having spent £'s over the years looking for a mop that does the job, wont disintegrate or tear or leave excess water etc I bought one of these mops by chance. I really challenge mops in my doggy house with its non slip ceramic tiles. The result exceeds my expectations on every level. Not only does this mop effectively clean all my floor surfaces it leaves them with no excess water. I've even used it on wall tiles. I'm so impressed that I'm buying several for family members as part of their Christmas presents. (I did the same years ago when I was the first to discover microfiber cloths)

Worth buyingby Amanda

5 stars out of 5

Smart String Mop

This is a great mop! It wrings out very easily as the mop head hangs straight down, unlike cheaper versions which tend to splay out after continued use. It's also small and easily tackles hard to reach places, whilst the extendable handle means you can adjust it to the length that suits you.

Absolutely useless!by SHARON

1 stars out of 5

Smart String Mop

The mop head is far too small and continuously scratches whilst using. Started to try and mop the kitchen floor with it and quickly reverted back to my old style cotton mop. Still haven't found a mop that works as well as the cotton type. Unfortunately I cannot use the handle either as it does not fit the cotton mops so both parts are resigned to the scrap heap!

My experience with this mop has been the same as Mrs Thomas',it was like mopping the floor with a fuzzy stick.I bought the bucket too and no matter how hard I wrung it out the floor seemed very wet and took ages to dry.I have bought a different mop this week which is much better.

Stuck in Upby Miss Ladeji

3 stars out of 5

Smart String Mop

I was really delighted with this mop as washable, and in the lower position, it was great to store in my little flat. However after a few uses it is stuck in the up position. Thought I'd post in case anybody else had encountered the same problem.

Good mopby Henry

4 stars out of 5

Smart String Mop

It has a good long handle - handy if you are tall (or a man like me!). It does clean the floor, but let's be honest it's not really massively different from any other mop - don't expect miracles. Also be careful as mentioned by others the plastic can scratch things.

Easy to useby CAROL

5 stars out of 5

Smart String Mop

I've tried several mops but this is the best for me. I've developed some mobility problems and so found some tasks requiring bending hard.This mop helps. The 'frond effect' means it can reach behind the bathroom sink and toilet pedestals. Also, so long as it is well wrung out, I can use it to wash along skirting boards without having to bend. I agree the plastic bit can be scratchy though.

Smart String Mop

I have had this a while now and have to say I think its great, I love the fact that you can wash it in the machine and it comes out like new! Left my floors much dryer than other mpps I have had.

Smart String Mopby Maureen

4 stars out of 5

Smart String Mop

Brilliant product - I've used it in conjunction with my old mop bucket with no problems. Regarding the extending handle function, as I've used similar products before with this type of handle I've experienced no problems & prefer 'extending' handles as they are not only easier to adjust to your preference, they are easier to store. This product would be absolutely perfect if it had a 'self squeezing' function making the requirement for a mop bucket obsolete.

Smart mopby Mrs thomas

Smart String Mop

Having read the reviews I felt confident that this mop would be a good buy. However, I am very disappointed with the mop. Yes, it doesn't require any detergent to get the floor clean and the telescopic handle is fine, the floor does dry quickly, but the microfleece mop head when wet, does not provide enough substance and the plastic part that the fibres attach to scratch against the floor, which is really annoying. I have kept the mop and I lightly skim it over my floor to dry it. This would definately not be a good buy if you had a nice wooden floor, luckily mine is ceramic so no damage. Sorry Lakeland I am usually pleased with your goods.

Great but bad handleby Sarah Carter

4 stars out of 5

Smart String Mop

Like other reviewers I bought this mop specifically for use on an oak floor and it is brilliant. It leaves very little water behind and gets into all the corners and generally does a fantastic job. One problem that we did have was that we couldn't get the handle to go up and down easily and my husband ended up breaking the mop. It hurt both our hands trying to operate the telescopic arm, wouldn't always fix into place and was almost impossible to get down once fixed up! Is it me? Going to buy it again and just leave it in a permanent extended condition although the fact it went smaller was very useful to me as it fitted neatly in a small cupboard.

excellent qualtiyby Belinda

5 stars out of 5

Smart String Mop

bought this mop about a year ago now. About fivemonths ago I bought a replacement head for when it inevitabily wore out. Here we are then a year later and the new mop head is still in its wrapper and the original mop still looks as good as new. A really good quality item. I use it regularly and hope you continue to stock them. You never know in twenty years I may need to buy another.

A mop that works like a charm!by Mr Spence

5 stars out of 5

Smart String Mop

Wow, not only did I spend over £9 for a mop... but I love it and don't regret a single pound spent! Sometimes I pretend that I don't have to mop our farmhouse floor every single day but now that the baby is crawling I am forced to dwell in reality. I've gone through countless less-expensive mops and not only did they fall apart but they also never worked well in the first place. And they turned black and nasty too. Ugh! This mop works great and can be machine washed. It is the Mop of Mops and worth every pence!

Simply the Bestby Patricia

5 stars out of 5

Smart String Mop

For years I�ve made do with mops that didn�t mop up what they should or mops that simply didn�t squeeze. At last I�ve found my dream mop! Mind you I wouldn�t have been so keen to try it if I hadn�t seen the five star raves left by your customers! If they all thought it was brilliant then I was going to try it. You know what, they were right!

A good mopby Lorna

4 stars out of 5

Smart String Mop

I bought this mop its is great for cleaning properly and i even use it to swish away the dust sometimes. Only observation is it can be heavy tolift as it absorbs a lot of water - I only mention this because I tried to mop the bathroom tiled walls with it. I think I need something else.

Best Mop Everby Helen

5 stars out of 5

Smart String Mop

I've tried loads of mops over the years and this is by far the best I'e ever used - and it only uses water. I end up with a bucket of dirty water and a clean floor: Perfect.

Wow Factor for Floors!by Mrs Chapman

5 stars out of 5

Smart String Mop

I bought my mop a couple of months ago and have been meaning to write a review ever since. So here it is! This is a mop in a milion and does everything (and more) that it promises. All you need is a bucket of hot water and Smart Mop. He's the smartest mop I've ever owned, and I've been a housewife for nearly sixty years. You really don't need any soap, just water.. The first time I used it, some black marks that I hadn't been able to shift previousy, just vanished, no effort. The floor is left almost dry, and I am left another very satsfied customer. Thank you Smart String Mop and thank you Lakeland.
