I still don’t know how mop water always converges to the same flavour with repeated use, even in different environments.
Like, the mop in a commercial garage, your grocery store (unless it’s been used to clean up an oil spill), and in your basement all produce very similar tasting water.
Even bathroom mops tend to converge on that same flavour.
I did a stint as a grounds keeper at a theme park, so I’m familiar with mop water from bathrooms to back offices, to fast food floors, grocery stores, commercial garages, and office space. I even mopped a laser tag room — that one was epic, you have no idea how much stuff people lose while playing laser tag, I found two watches and tons of change, all sorts of stuff. Dusty as heck though.
As I mentioned elsewhere, no, I have not experienced bar mop water except one time when drunk, so not a fair sample.
Mop buckets are surprisingly homogeneous in smell across environments. With the exception of getting them filled with oil, which gets its own stale rancid smell, but that’s for other reasons.
My good sir, I do believe you've mistaken my position for the obverse whereas I do indeed prefer the delectable flavor profile liberally applied to my noodly noms.
Well when it comes to mop techniques it comes down to 2 standard motions, the figure 8 and the linear stroke technique. The technique used is determined by several factors: room size, mop type, and floor material. Now, when it comes to choosing a mop there are several more factors than just room size and floor material. Mop head material, handle type, mop style (standard, powered, steam, spin). Now, if you're looking for a good all around mop recommendation I would have to give it up to the O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop, it excels in most mop related functions and should make the mopper in your life happy.

I mean, a salad spinner would do the same thing, but it wouldn't add the extra mop water flavor we all love.

I'd like to subscribe to hear more mop facts please.

I don't really have mop facts, only flavour profiles.

What about a mop used in a bar?
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 11d
I’ve only extended bar mop when my friend threw up all over the bar and they made us clean it up.
She ate a bunch of fruit loops or something so it was like this weird strong sour fruity smell. Thinking about it makes me feel gross.
So I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure if not used to clean up fruit loops vomit it would be similar. I’ve used a lot of mops in a lot of places.

You'd think it'd be more tangy what with all the dried piss on the floor in the men's, but no. It evens out still.

Ok, whatever, dude.

You are joking but the dust in IT equipment almost always has a distinct smell in the same type of business (e.g. medical).
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 8d
I’m not joking though!

As somewhat of a mop enthusiast this is admittedly an area of functionality I had not previously considered.

Well for some reason I couldn't find a mop-based Lemmy instance so I hosted my own.

While I of course worship the mop itself he could be considered our Messiah. He showed us the way.

Freeze the strained pasta water for use as decorative ice cubes for dinner.
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 11d
Okay but I unironically could see myself doing this to add starch to pasta sauces…
ThePantser@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 11d
I have the version with a water tank to rinse. Should be handy to hold the sauce.
snoons@lemmy.ca · 9 pts · 11d
ohhh and then you can keep it in the fridge for extra spaghettiness for long time.

Just put it in the washing machine and let it spin. No need to use your own muscles.
tomi000@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 10d
Its supposed to be spinning in the second picture right? But how?
Kimika@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 10d
There is a pedal you step on repeatedly to make it spin and spin.
tomi000@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 10d
Ah I see, smart. I only know the kind where you press the mop down
billwashere@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 11d
Now I wanna use my salad spinner to do this.

And yet Americans still have the pig headed arrogance to think they have a valid culinary opinion.
