We've got one of those mops that spins itself dry when you pump the handle up and down. The mechanism inside the handle which does the spinning has broken so I just want to replace the mop but I can't find anywhere that sells JUST the mop. All the shops and sites that I've tried want to sell the mop and bucket together as a set but the bucket that we have is fine so why am I being forced to buy another one?
Does anyone know where I can buy just the mop without forking out for an unwanted bucket?
-
Is the magic mop, where you press on mop bucket?, if so got mine from saffet at ovacik garden centre.if you show him a pic of what you want he can usually get it for you.
-
Yep, tell him you don't want the bouquet.
-
mmmm - and there's me thinking that I had described the problem quite well. I don't want to export the mop so I was sort of hoping someone would know of a UK store or site where I can buy the mop (without the bucket) but thanks anyway.
-
I was going to offer to bring it over on 31st if it was what you needed..mmm and there was me thinking I was been nice.
-
I've only ever seen them as a set in the UK

Steve I saw these in our local branch of " In Excess", I am going there today, will ask the question, and message you.
Only problem, we are not in Calis until June 3rd !!!!

Thanks Gordon - I'm not in Calis until 20th May :D
-
Bernie,
I don't want one in Turkey I want one here :)
-
Thanks for the PM Gordon. It would appear that you can not buy just the mops in the UK , you have to buy the set and then throw away a perfectly good bucket but thanks for the responses and the odd sarkky comment :)

It's annoying that products are made without spares, so you have to buy the whole thing. We have a toilet in the bathroom (made in Turkey). It has a soft close seat. The soft close option broke, it had the facility to repair it once, which was done. It broke again and when my son checked (he is a plumber) the only option left was to buy a whole new seat at the cost over £100. They do have them on Ebay for £75.00 this was the cheapest we could see. >:(

I think Bernie, who is returning to the UK for a visit on the 31st, was offering find one
in Turkey, bring it back to the UK and get it to you here. Missed opportunity. ?
-
Yeah I realised that after re-reading her response (sorry Bernie) but even with my most selfish head on I couldn't expect someone cart a five foot long mop through customs at Dalaman just to save me a few quid ;D

We had the same problem,ending up buying another mop an bucket.
