Do you sell covers for a mop bought at Wal-Mart?

Subject: Question about the product Product Code: =ES-SH-002A
Q:"refill for mop head 4 inches wide and 15 inches long It uses velcro for fastening I cannot find this refill in Wal-Mart where I bought the mop. Please send price list and information on where I can obtain these. "=Maxine

Answer: Maxine, we sell the Bona Kemi brand microfiber mop refill pads for all mops 4 x 15 inches that use the velcro type fastening. Bona recently changed the fiber to a twist fiber so that the mop moves more easily whether you use it wet or dry. We also sell the white long strand microfiber dusting covers by Starfiber that also velcro on and off.

Pricing varies according to our promotions and quantities you buy. Please look at our website for current pricing.

Thanks again for your question.

Sincerely, Barbara

Which Dust Mop Covers are Best for My Needs?

Q: "I wish to purchase a Sh-Mop and several accessories from your company. I would like more information about the Sh-Duster dusting covers and the microfiber mop covers. I have read and understand that one is a yarn-duster and the other is similar to a Swiffer, but what is the functional difference between the two? What aspect of these two items would make one a better choice than the other for a consumer? Thank you for your assistance with this. I look forward to a speedy reply because my dust bunnies are about to revolt. Thanks. Karen"

Answer: The yellow duster cover is long strands of acrylic yarn that can get into corners. The Sh-Micro is more like a Swiffer as is the Bona full sized microfiber cover as they have a static charge as long as you don't use fabric softener. The cotton Sh-Duster won't attract as much of the finer grit but will wash cleaner as cotton lets go of dust and particles more easily than the acrylic.

The cotton Sh-Duster works well wet if you have grooves in tile. You can use the Bona microfiber covers or the Sh-Micro cover wet or dry. Both are woven so they will move well across flooring if it is wet or dry.

Comment from Customer: "Thanks for such a prompt reply! I think I will order the yarn mop for everyday collection of the dust-bunnies (actually, they are dust-beagles, and quite large) and get the micro-fiber cloth cover for thorough dust removal before damp mopping. Does this sound reasonable based on your experience? I have hardwood floors all over my house. I noticed the dustmop comes in both cotton and synthetic fibers. Is there a reason to select one over the other? Thanks again,Karen. P.S. I checked many sites and yours had the best prices by far. It was also one of the more professional-looking sites."

Answer: As I mentioned before, I think the acrylic is better at grabbing the bunnies but the cotton will wash "out" better. For hardwood, I'd probably go with the acrylic.Thanks for the compliments. We try to have it be a practical user-friendly site. Barbara
