Kmart's $4 cleaning gadget is a game-changer for parents of messy kids

"I absolutely gasped out loud when you could squeeze it out," one person shared after watching the quick demo online. 

As a parent, you can expect to clean up 5,432 spills in your child's first five years. 

I lie, that number is completely made up! But what I DO know, is that we spend A LOT of time cleaning up accidental mess around the home thanks to our little, clumsy rugrats. 

It's one of our most common complaints, but according to many parents and carers, there's a $4 gadget found at Kmart that makes these accidents a little more manageable at home.

Please join me in welcoming Kmart's Mini Retractable Mop to the conversation. 

It's being hailed as the "ultimate solution for quick and efficient cleaning" around the home. 

At just $4, this handy cleaning tool can clean up spills in seconds and the self-wringing feature means you can give it a fast squeeze and keep going with cleaning up a spill without any fuss.

Small enough to store, big enough to tackle the most mundane cleaning tasks instead of getting the big mop out, and most definitely cheaper than that iced latte you just ordered!
