Most of you know I am a bit of a clean freak. Well, I have a selection of brooms, brushes, sponge mops and squeegees at my disposal for keeping the floor of my garage clean. But short of vacuuming I am never happy with the results. Now with the fall leaves endlessly blowing in, it was getting frustrating sweeping up all the dirt with the brushes.



I purchased a 36" commercial dust mop at a local janitorial supply. Man does this baby pick up the dirt. And fast! It takes just one swipe from one end of the garage to the other. Leaves behind no residue and shakes out easily. It's very heavy duty and well made. Cost about $20. You can choose from many different size handles and mop heads to suit your situation.

I've used these for years. They work great on smooth surfaces but not so great on bare concrete (they grab...) If you really want them to pick up the dust spritz them with a little bit of Endust. Makes them tacky and provides a bit of an electrostatic charge it seems - very useful if you have pollen to pick up. I have 1600 sq. ft. of architectural concrete in my home and use one of these in between mopping.
 
Dust mops aren't new? Just kidding. It was one of those Homer Simpson moments...<strong class='bbc'>DOH!!![/b]...when I realized what I was missing.:eek: I will never use a shop broom again.
 
When you use it do you have to wear a grey or dark blue work uniforms with a hankie out the back pocket? How are they for leaning on? LOL



I always remember the janitors in my school leaning on them puppies playing with their hankies like they were busy.
 
Ha! Well, I do have an embroidered oval name patch which says "Elmer". I guess I should sew that over my Porsche emblem on my baseball cap.

Your garage is only 36" wide???...it looks much bigger in your pictures!!

:D
 
Are they MATCHBOX cars????



anyways I wich I had a smooth floor to use that thingy on but alas I must settle for plain old concrete garage floors thatmy truck wont ever touch cause it dont fit in the door.
 
I remember getting cleanup duty in grade school and having to sweep the gym floor. There was only one broom like that and the rest sucked. There was always a fight to get the 'good broom'. That damn broom was the beginning of a long string of school yard brawls for me... I daresay that if it hadn't been for that broom I could have gotten through all of my grade school years without a single fight. Oh well. The wounds have healed and the survivors of the fights forgave me eventually...... :)
 
My choice would be my Handy Air-Lift. It is great for detailing bikes as well as working on them. It gets me up off of my knees and the table is handy for your tools or cleaning supplies. :up

<strong class='bbc'>Ahh! No wonder Brad can afford a Jag, BMW, Audi and a Porsche. Hey Brad, don't you like anything American? [/b]</blockquote>
Sure, I married her!

Actually, my first and only American car was a '68 Firebird Sprint Six Convertible. Red with a white top and interior. I restored it when I was 18 years old. Sold it because someone offered me a whopping $1500 for it and winter was approaching and I didn't have a garage. I wish I had it now....a great car!
 
Sorry, no. The sanctuary has been claimed in honor of the Empire. God Save the Queen!

Says the guy with a Sanctuary full of iron from the Fatherland.



Now, my garage, there's territory claimed in honor of Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II by the Grace of God, Queen of this Realm and of Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.
 
Once in a while I open the garage door to find it in a total mess....proof that there has been a turf battle overnight. The Jag, complete with stiff upper lip, holds it's own with a moat of surrounding oil on the floor and banners flying in true Dunkirk fashion. There will always be an England.
