Mopping is one of those chores that nobody really looks forward to. Between the heavy bucket of water, the dirty mop, and the inevitable streaks left on the floor, it can feel like a never-ending battle. But what if I told you that mopping could actually be quick, easy, and dare I say—enjoyable? That's exactly what the Sh-Mop promises.
In my latest video, I had the chance to dive deep into how professional cleaners—people who mop for a living—have been using the Sh-Mop for years to get cleaner floors with less hassle. Today, I’ll share all those insights with you, teach you exactly how to use the Sh-Mop to make mopping easier, and answer some of the biggest questions I’ve been getting. Plus, I’ll give you a sneak peek at what’s coming up next!
Why Mopping Has Been So Hard
For years, most of us have been mopping the hard way. Heavy mops, dirty water, and streaky floors—it’s just the way we were taught. But professional cleaners have known for a long time that there’s a better way to mop. And that’s the opportunity here—you can start using the same tools and techniques that pros use to get cleaner floors in half the time.
The Sh-Mop is not just another cleaning tool. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and designed to make mopping less of a chore. It eliminates the need for dirty mop water, gets rid of wasteful disposable pads, and actually helps you save time with every use. Imagine mopping your floors without the hassle of dragging a heavy bucket around or constantly wringing out a dirty mop head.
Who Am I, and Why Should You Listen to Me?
If you’re new here, I’m Amy, and at Speed Cleaning, we help people cut their cleaning time in half. We’ve spent years finding the best tools that help you clean faster and more effectively. And the Sh-Mop? It’s been a staple for professional cleaners for decades. This isn’t just another mop—it’s the mop that pros trust. With my background as a scientist, I’m all about finding practical, effective solutions—and the Sh-Mop is exactly that.
How to Use the Sh-Mop (And Save Loads of Time!)
One of the best things about the Sh-Mop is how easy it is to use. Here’s a quick breakdown of how it works:
Step 1: Make Your Mop Water Solution
We typically fill the bottom couple of inches of a clean kitchen sink with warm water and a little bit of floor cleaning solution like Sh-Clean. If you prefer to use a bucket, you can do the same. For quick clean ups, we sometimes just grab our spray bottle of ready to use floor cleaner and spray the floor.
Step 2: Drop In Your CLEAN Mop Covers
Part of what makes the Sh-Mop system unique is that we never create dirty mop water. Soak your mop covers in the clean mopping solution until ready to use. Grab a wet cover, wring it out until no longer dripping, and place on your Sh-Mop base.
Step 3: Replace the Cover as Needed
When the mop cover becomes either too dirty or to dry to clean the floors, and would instead start pushing the dirt around, it's time to replace it. We NEVER place the dirty cover back into our clean mopping solution, though! Just put your dirty covers in the laundry or bag to launder later and grab a fresh, new cover to put on the mop. No more sticking a dirty mop into clean water and just spreading the mess around!
Step 4: Finishing Up
When you are finished mopping, it's time to drain the sink or dump your bucket. But remember, you started with a clean sink and you only kept clean mop covers in your sink so there is no need to re-clean! Just drain the sink and wipe it dry. This step keeps your floors cleaner and saves you time!
Addressing Your Biggest Concerns
Since I started talking about the Sh-Mop, I’ve been getting some great questions. Here are a couple of the top concerns and how the Sh-Mop addresses them.
Objection 1: “Mopping Takes Too Long”
I get it—mopping isn’t exactly a fun activity, so why not spend as little time as possible doing it? The Sh-Mop saves you time by covering more surface area quickly and without the need to constantly switch out dirty water or wring out a mop head. You’re done in minutes, not hours.
Objection 2: “Dealing with Dirty Mop Water is Gross”
This was a big one! Many of you mentioned how frustrating it is to deal with dirty mop water—whether it’s constantly dumping and refilling the bucket or having to touch a wet, dirty mop head. The Sh-Mop system eliminates the need for a dirty water bucket altogether. Instead of dipping a dirty mop back into water, you just rinse the microfiber pad in the sink. It’s way more sanitary and way less mess.
What’s Possible with the Sh-Mop?
Imagine a world where mopping doesn’t feel like a chore. Where you can clean your floors quickly, effectively, and without the hassle of traditional mops. The Sh-Mop offers a real transformation—it’s not just about getting clean floors, it’s about giving you back your time and making your cleaning routine as painless as possible.
Whether you’re prepping for guests, cleaning up after a big meal, or just doing a quick refresh, the Sh-Mop is designed to make mopping the easiest part of your day. And the best part? It works on all floor types, so no matter what kind of floors you have, the Sh-Mop has you covered.

So, our website software is not allowing my to respond directly to comments, so I will respond here!
Patricia, the yellow microfiber bonnet is great for both dry dusting and damp mopping. If you have hardwood floors, damp mopping is perfect so you don’t risk adding too much water and damaging your floors.
Gail, I do the same! And yes, the Sh-Clean mixing bottle is marked so you can add the right amount of Sh-Clean concentrate. Just remember, the amount can be adjusted either up or down depending on your floors.
Juliette, thank you for being a long time customer!
Kathy, a quartz sink sounds beautiful! I have 2 suggestions: Red Juice works wonders on quartz, and Pro Scrub takes care of scuffs and marks that show up!
Do you have any suggestions for cleaning quartz sinks? Love how beautiful my new sink is. But not sure how to keep it beautiful.
It is frustrating and even irritating that you don’t answer questions that are asked, when many others, along with the questioner, would like to know the answer. Please don’t ignore this. Comments are not — or should not be — solely for praise or grumbles.
Give value to your site by being a resource of answers.
I’ve been a subscriber of this company from Jeff Campbell’s earliest days when he advertised in the back of the Sunday newspaper magazines. And yes, you are too young to remember those days and I don’t miss them as I am devoted to my digital Washington Post subscription of many years. But before and in the infancy of the internet, I was a very young home-keeper without any skills in cleaning, having grown up in a household with hired help and The Clean Team saved my tail! Now here, many years later, I am still a client because Speed Cleaning products never fail.
But, sincerely, I do urge you to answer the questions asked, and not rudely ignore them if you want your business to thrive. I’ve left companies for less, as a discriminating consumer who knows there are better options out there that meet my needs.
Everyone of us has room to improve.
Is the sh-clean spray bottle marked so that you can create the perfect solution of ready mixed product to have on hand? I have small floor spaces and typically spray my mop covers as I go along versus mixing sh-clean in a bucket/sink of water. Thanks.
Have used Sh-mop for years. What situations are better to use the yellow microfiber bonnet? Liked the idea of keeping a spray bottle of solution for a quick clean.
