Dear FlyLady,
I have been anxiously awaiting my order, especially for the mop as I have a white German Shepard who sheds all over the house and I’m going broke buying Swiffer pads.
My order arrived just this morning and I hurriedly opened the box to pull out my new calendar and … my mop. I have tried and tried and tried to connect the handle to the base, but there doesn’t seem to be anything to screw it into. The base can only screw into that one piece that was originally connected and when I tried it without that piece, there again was nothing to screw it into.
Please, tell me what I’m doing wrong or, do I need to send those pieces back for an exchange. I’ve already waiting over two weeks, I guess I can wait two more.
Disappointed,
Shirley
Dear Shirley,
We automatically assume when we see the screw threads that the handle secures to the base that way. The screw is made for the handle to attach to the rubba sweepa. I wanted the handles to be interchangeable.
You are not the first person who has had this problem. This is why we did this video to explain this. The connection on the mop is called a compression fitting. It really does hold the mop head securely. I am sorry that you had problems with this! We have sold out of the XL Mop but we have plenty of our original FlyLady Mop. It’s handle is a compression fit too.
Making the mop handle interchangeable with the sweepa head; saves you money. We put together a Complete Cleaning System Package that includes our Mop. Save $50.00 on it right now that is more than a 28% discount. This sale is ending soon!
