I’m pretty sure that there are dust bunnies having babies under the table in our front room. No… Really…. One day there’s nothing and then the next day you find fifteen! Where do they come from!?!?
At one time I was a big fan of my Swiffer. I loved removing that scuzzy cleaning pad and tossing away the dirt. Unfortunately, those cleaning pads were starting to get a little pricey for us to use to defend ourselves against the ever-growing number of dust bunnies! I tried using a regular broom, but it seemed to leave behind little bunny-ettes. I even tried attaching a rag to my Swiffer sweeper. I got mediocre results with that.
I also tried using my Clorox Wet Jet mop. That seemed to conquer the dust bunnies, but I didn’t like the expense of having to buy their replacement pads and bottles of cleaner. I have plenty of cleaners under my sink, and I paid pennies for them!
I was thrilled when Rubbermaid contacted me to ask if I’d like to try their new Reveal Spray Mop. The Reveal mop kit includes a sturdy mop, a microfiber cleaning pad, and a refillable mix-your-own-cleaner bottle. The microfiber cleaning pad is the perfect alternative to those expensive replacement pads offered by the other brands. The Rubbermaid microfiber cleaning pad is durable and can be washed and reused up to 100 times. We’re in for a LOT of mopping before it needs to be replaced!
I think my favorite part of this kit is the choose-your-own-cleaning-solution option. The kit comes with a refillable bottle. All you have to do is fill the bottle with water up to the fill line marked water. Then you add your favorite cleaner up to the line marked cleaner. The mix you get is the traditional mixture ratio we all use in our buckets. You can purchase additional bottles if you want to be able to keep two different cleaning mixtures handy. Or you could use plain hot water minus any cleaner for a quick mop.
Last night I tried the Reveal mop without any cleaning solution. I wanted to see how it stacked up against my Swiffer dry mop for those gotta-get-a-dust-bunny moments. It did a great job grabbing the bunnies even without cleaner!

I think my dust bunnies could eat yours
I have a brown and white fluffy dog, and you should see the size of the “fur bunnies” I find. Ive even seen some on the walls! Thanks.
Lots of good info on the Rubbermaid blog. I really liked the article on what not to recycle and the entry about the hooks.
This mop definitely looks promising. I also love the idea of using your own cleaners instead of buying the company’s brand.

I liked the article on organizing your scrapbooking supplies.
I’m always tearing out the pages in magazines that have a recipe, exercise, tip, etc. that I want to try. I like the idea of keeping the magazine pages in binders that I found in the alternative use section. Great idea!
I loved the tips about recycling!
Yes – we definitely have dust bunnies too! The only way that’s worked for us is to clean first thing Saturday morning so we’re motivated to do it quickly to start our weekend
I checked out the Rubbermaid blog and was blown away by all the info on there. Thank you for turning me on to it. The info on organizing in a small apt is my favorite!

I liked the idea of using a drawer organizer to hold your jewelry.
I’d love to win this-I need some help with our tile floor, maybe this would work! Thanks.
Oooh – always liked the swiffer too, but the expense! I tried making covers for it out of felt and it worked ok but nothing great. I have a libman mop that I like – it uses pads that I can throw into the wash. I use windex &/or vinegar in a spray bottle, just spray and wipe… Would love something shiny and new though!
Lots of dust bunnies at our house!!
Absolutely!!! They have such awesome products and ideas. Makes me want to go and organize something…. anything.
I checked out the blog…can you tell I want to win?!
I get your daily email…thanks!
