I'm obsessed with this easy-wring O-Cedar mop, and it's on rare sale
With a triangle-shaped microfiber head that fits neatly into corners, the O-Cedar will completely change the way you view cleaning.
Like most people, I took stock of my home cleaning supplies back when the pandemic began. I had a vacuum, a broom, a little cleaning spray and ... that was it. I didn't even own a functional mop — a problem that needed to be remedied. After a bunch of research, I discovered the O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop System. TBH, I didn't have much of a reaction when it arrived — it's a mop, after all — but then I actually started using it. And, well, reader, I was in love. I said it. It's amazing. It helps get my floors super clean, it's fun to use and my home has never looked better. Now's a great time for you to get in on the action, too: It's currently on sale at Amazon.
Microfiber means an extra-thorough cleaning, a foot-activated pedal makes it easy to wring hands-free and the head is machine washable!
Why is this a good deal? 💰
This mop isn't often marked down unless there's a large sales event taking place, so we consider this $5 markdown a rare treat ... though, of course, a clean floor is priceless. More than 90,000 have been sold in the past month alone, so add it to your cart while you can save.
Why do I need this? 🤔
This mop is pretty different from your plain 'ol sponge-head model. The O-Cedar has a super-absorbent microfiber head that easily cleans your floors, and it's triangle-shaped to fit neatly into nooks, crannies and corners.
But wait, there's more! The mop comes with a special bucket with a foot pedal to help you wring it out. Just dip your mop in the water, put it in the wringer and push down on the foot pedal a few times. Excess water flies out (into the bucket) and you're left with a moist — but not sopping — mop. That feature is so fun to use that my kids actually fight over who gets to help me mop. I kid you not.
The mop's head can be used for up to three months, and refill heads (sold separately) are easy to install. Just pop off the old head, toss it in your washing machine and snap on the new one. That's it!
My house has mostly hardwood flooring, so the O-Cedar and I spend a ton of time together. I actually ... like mopping now? I put on a podcast, tune out, go to work and just revel in the fact that my floors are going to be cleaner than ever.
What reviewers say 💬
Apparently I'm not the only one obsessed with this mop: It has more than 214,000 five-star ratings.
Pros 👍
"I hate, hate, hated mopping the floor! This mop has made my life so much better, and I actually enjoy mopping now!" said my floor-cleaning soulmate.
"I can believe how this almost made mopping fun!" agreed another shopper. "The spin feature is brilliant and works like a charm; it is so great not to have to bend down or over. My back is so grateful for this amazing product. The mop head is so thick and easy to clean. I seriously cannot remember the last time that I bought a product that I was so thrilled with. I love this mop!"
Even cleaning pros love it: "The pump function to ring the mop is amazing because it allows the floors to dry way faster than using a regular mop and bucket. As a business owner with a cleaning service, this helps a great deal! The mop pads are machine washable and easy to switch out; they’re also durable. I love the fact [that] the handle retracts, because that makes it easy to travel with when going on residential jobs, and this is also a plus when storing equipment."
Cons 👎
"The spinning action is great, and the mop itself dries fast so I can put it away quickly," wrote a fellow five-star fan. "The handle is fully adjustable, so [it's] good for someone of any size." Their one qualm? "I wish the spinner were removable so it could also be used as a regular bucket. But otherwise, it’s worked great."
"This is the best mop I’ve ever used," raved a final reviewer. "It’s very comfortable to use and it picks up dirt easily and very well! The mop bucket is really what sold me on this mop … and it definitely lived up to my expectations! I love how easily the foot pedal works; my only complaint is that wheels or something to make it scoot across the floor while you mop would help out a bit! It also holds plenty of water and easily handles boiling water if you like to mop with that like I do! I’d absolutely recommend this mop and bucket to anyone (and I have!)."

Dyson, shmyson. Why pay top dollar for a sleek stick vac when this cordless wonder is a mere $88? It boasts strong suction for zapping up everything from dust to pet hair, and provides up to 40 minutes of run time per charge. Plus, its LED lights help you see those darker spaces, and its cyclonic filtration system traps airborne particles as well.
