The Mop That Changes Everything: How the Sh-Mop Can Transform Your Cleaning Routine
Mopping the floors is one of those household chores that often feels like a never-ending battle. The heavy bucket, the dirty water, the streaky floors—it's no wonder so many of us put it off until absolutely necessary. But what if mopping could be quick, easy, and even a little enjoyable? That's where the Sh-Mop comes in.
In this post, I’ll share real stories from professional cleaners who swear by the Sh-Mop, answer some of your top questions, and show you how this tool can truly transform the way you clean your home. By the end, you’ll understand why the Sh-Mop is not just another mop, but a complete game-changer for your floors—and your cleaning routine.
Why the Sh-Mop?
If you’ve been following along with our recent videos, you’ve already seen the Sh-Mop in action. For those just joining us, the Sh-Mop is a lightweight, highly effective mopping system with a large surface area that professional cleaners have been using for years. Unlike traditional mops that require heavy buckets and leave floors streaky, the Sh-Mop is designed to make mopping faster, easier, and more effective.
The mop covers are washable and reusable, meaning you’ll never have to buy disposable pads again. The flat, durable head allows you to clean hard-to-reach places like corners and along baseboards effortlessly. And best of all, it works on all floor types—wood, tile, laminate, vinyl—you name it!
Real Stories from Professional Cleaners
I know what you might be thinking: “Is it really that different from my current mop?” Instead of just telling you, let me share some real-world success stories from professional cleaning business owners who have made the switch to the Sh-Mop.
Nichole’s Story
Nichole, a cleaning business owner, shared: “We bought the Sh-Mop Kit to replace our traditional mops throughout our company and it works great! All my cleaning techs love this mop and the ease of use—and it even cleans off the most stubborn stuff stuck on the floors.”
This is a powerful testimonial because Nichole's team isn’t just cleaning their own homes—they’re cleaning multiple homes every single day. When a product gets rave reviews from professionals who need to clean quickly and efficiently, you know it’s worth considering.
Rebecca’s Story
Rebecca has been using the Sh-Mop system for over 20 years. She told us: “I was introduced to this mop system when my traditional mop broke at a client's house. She showed me the Sh-Mop and how to use it. I used it and was immediately sold! So much easier and quicker to use the Sh-Mop than to dip & wring out a traditional mop. It works beautifully on all floor surfaces.”
Rebecca even uses the Sh-Mop as a selling point with her clients, explaining that it offers the same deep clean as getting on your hands and knees—without the back-breaking work. When a cleaning professional uses the same tool for 20 years, that’s a huge testament to its quality and effectiveness.
Answering Your Top Questions
Since sharing the Sh-Mop with you, I’ve gotten some great questions. Let’s dive into a couple of the most common ones.
Where do you keep the clean covers if you have a big house?
The Sh-Mop covers are super compact, making them easy to store. You can keep a few in your cleaning caddy, a lined pocket in your Speed Cleaning apron, or even a small bag. Since they’re washable, you can always have a fresh cover ready to go, even if you’re tackling a larger space.
Can the Sh-Mop really get the dirt out of edges and corners?
Absolutely! The Sh-Mop has a flat, sturdy head that goes right up to those tricky spots. Traditional mops often just push dirt around, but the microfiber covers on the Sh-Mop grab and hold onto dirt, even in tricky areas like corners and along baseboards.
The Big Picture: What’s Possible with the Sh-Mop
Imagine if mopping didn’t have to be a hassle. Imagine a tool that helped you clean faster, with better results, and left you more time to do the things you love. That’s what the Sh-Mop can offer. Instead of spending your weekends scrubbing floors, you could be spending time with family, enjoying a hobby, or just relaxing in a clean, fresh home.
The Sh-Mop isn’t just a product—it’s a way to reclaim your time and reduce the stress of keeping your home clean. It’s about making cleaning more efficient so you can enjoy the things that really matter.

Please leave me a comment and let me know what you want to see in the next video!
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.
