Mopping can be a messy job. Lugging a dripping, dirty mop and a heavy bucket around the house is no fun.
Some viewers saw the commercial for a new product that claims to make the chore a lot easier.
They asked Amy to test the Hurricane Spin Mop for As Seen on TV Tuesday.
Belinda Foland of League City says she doesn't particularly enjoy mopping.
"The old mops, you have to wring them out, so your hands were always filthy," she said.
When she saw the Hurricane Spin Mop commercial that claimed her hands would "never again touch a dirty, disgusting mop," she bought one and left it at her son's home in Austin. She agreed to test a couple of the Hurricane Spin Mop claims using one we purchased.
According to the commercial, "It's so thirsty, it'll pick up giant spills in one easy motion."
Belinda poured orange juice on her kitchen floor, and then set the spin mop head on the mess.It absorbed almost all of the spill in seconds.
"It does a great job!" Belinda said.
Here's how it works.
Fill the bucket with water and any cleaner you want to use. Mop. Then rinse the mop in the water before sticking it in the attached spin bucket.
Pumping the pedal spins the mop, wringing out water and dirt.
The mop easily slides under furniture, picking up hair and dust as it mops. And the spin mop heads are reusable.
"All you do is detach this and throw it in the washing machine," explained Belinda, removing the mop head. "And you're ready for the next time."
Belinda says her son has used the same mop head the last two years, washing it in the machine after every job; and it's still holding up.
We paid $39.99 for the Hurricane Spin Mop. Belinda says it's so convenient, it's worth the cost.
"Every penny. I believe it's worth the investment," she said.
