How I Cleaned Up on Poker Night

Last weekend my husband held his first annual poker tournament and stakes we high. Twelve card savvy friends arrived at 1pm and left at 1am. Naturally, being the hostess with the mostess, I went all out and made dozens of mini roast beef sandwiches, a vat of homemade macaroni and cheese, deviled eggs, chips and salsa and fresh bloody marys to wash it all down. Between the eating and dealing the floors took quite a beating. The little cup holders on the poker table just couldn't hold up against the fist pounding excitement of the tournament. Our hardwood floors were constantly being splashed with everything from coffee to cola, with a little beer thrown in for good measure. The chips we stacked against the floors but my trusty mop came to the rescue every time. I don't want to sound like a silly television ad, but my Clorox Ready Mop is the best. After soaking up the big spills with a towel I got rid of the sticky residue with a few quick passes with the Ready Mop. It's fitted with a refillable container of floor cleaner and uses disposable pads to wipe away the mess. Once the mess is gone I throw the pad away; no wringing, soaking or squeezing necessary. I actually replaced the original cleaning fluid with a nicer smelling cleaner I found at my local apothecary for a fresh scent. I've had the mop for almost four years and it's as good as new. It really makes cleaning up easier. If you're looking for a new mop, check out the Clorox Ready Mop or the Swifer. Here are some options from ShopLocal.
