Save in Cleaning the Floor-Mop

My electric sweeper saves me from the dirtiest and most exasperating task in my home; that is the task of keeping clean the floor-mop. Shaking it is not really effectual; to wash it is repulsive. After each mopping I start my electric-cleaner, tip it back from the floor to a convenient angle, and run my mop back and forth across the vacuum opening. The suction disposes of the lint, and if your sweeper has a revolving brush three or four strokes of the tips will help to make the mop almost unbelievably clean. The secret is in moving the mop across the cleaner, rather than the cleaner across the mop. This method is even more successful and quicker than using the vacuum attachments. -Mrs. J. R. McW., Tulsa, Okla.
