Have you ever gotten excited over a new floor mop?
It would seem as though this is an issue I have been pondering for years.
My most recent issue has been to find a mop for the laminate floors in the laundry room/office. Apparently the thing you don't want to use on this type of flooring is a mop that leaves too much water behind. I've tried a few choices since moving here and none have been too great. Either they did leave the floor too wet and/or were hard on the old back.
The other day I moved it up on my priority list and got serious about finding thee one.
Sometimes I avoid doing this as it can be time consuming and a bit overwhelming. Easier to just plug along with the less than ideal situation. Anyhow, after checking out the options, I decided on Bob Vila's top choice. I figured he ought to know what he's talking about and it did receive rave reviews.
While this post is really not a mop review, I must say I LOVE everything about this system. Perhaps most of all I like the simplicity of the instructions and the simplicity of operation.
You know a product is a success when you look forward to washing your floors.
You may be wondering what this post is about if not to promote a microfiber mop.
I guess it is more about those small unexpected words of thanks.
When I selected the mop I had no idea I was supporting a small family business.
The handwritten thank you note included in the box let me know.
Some might think it was just in there to garner favorable reviews.
I'm not one of those people. In this case I will be happy to leave a highly favorable review. After all those reviews helped me make an informed decision before purchasing.
As I've begun my Christmas shopping I am making a concentrated effort to support small businesses.
My husband has been a small business owner for over 30 years and we surely appreciate our loyal customers.
He is in the business of selling and servicing a very specialized type of machinery. Most of his customers are machine or tool & die shops. Kind of a man's world to my way of thinking. I guess if I had my own small business it would be selling something different than machines. Maybe home decor, flowers or books ;). Anyhow, machinery is our business life as I have worked alongside him in one capacity or another all of those years.
When this tiny note fell out of the envelope with a customer's payment, Brett read it out loud and then dropped it in the trash. I promptly removed it from the trash and tucked it into my desk drawer. Something about a man in his machine shop taking the time to pencil out this note makes me smile. That was many months ago and I still find it smile worthy every time I open the desk drawer.
Have you received any unexpected notes of thanks recently?
Let me take a moment to say a big
Thank You
to all who stop by and visit here.
