That seems like a mess to me. I like the idea, but it needs to be more convenient. Ideas??   Posted by anonymous on November 12, 2009 4:25 PM .................................   I fill up a spray bottle with the cleaning solution and spray ahead of where I am mopping. It works great.   Posted by Di in VA on November 12, 2009 7:53 PM .................................   ----------------------------------------- Share Your Comments:   Comments may need to be approved before they are displayed.   Comments: User Name (required): Email Address (required - but your email address will not be displayed): Website URL (not required; please do not include "http://"):
