Mopping My Brow

Mopping My Brow
Originally uploaded by 365 Things

What: Disintegrating mop head.
Origin: Desire for clean floors.
How long kept/last used: Ooh, quite some time. See confession.
Why kept: Out of Sight, Out of Mind.
Destination: Trash.

Confession: I haven't used this mop in years. (A while back, I decided that the floor got cleaner with an old fashioned rag and elbow grease.) I've been moving it around in my closet, with the mop head wrapped in a plastic bag, for quite some time. (The hint that it's time for something to go, right?) Today, I noticed that the sponge was disintegrating in the bag.

Eew.

Confession, part deux: If I were greener, I'd cut the sponge from the metal binding and take it for textile recycling (or composting). Sorry about that.

The rest of the mop's fate is TBD.
