Woolies item that’s better than $50 version

One mum revealed she had purchased the cleaning item after seeing it online for twice the price.

Woolies mop goes viral on TikTok

When it comes to mops they can cost anything from a couple of bucks to upwards of $100.

But despite there being dozens of choices available it can still be hard to find one that does the job, which is why it’s no surprise that this mum’s review of a Woolies mop has gone viral on TikTok.

In a video that’s been viewed more than 368,000 times, South Australia TikTok star Emmy Rachelle shared how she had purchased Woolworths’ Wring Mop and Bucket Set for $25 after seeing a more expensive version online.

“I saw a mop like this on TikTok and I looked it up and it was about $50,” she said in the video.

“Then I found this at Woolworths for like half the price, so I bought it.”

The mop comes in a rectangular container with a handle which has two compartments “one where it dries and one where the water sits in”, Emmy explained.

To use, all you had to do was soak your mop head in the water compartment before using the drying side to squeeze all the excess water out – something Emmy said was “really satisfying” to do.

“Does it pass the test of getting rid of grime? Yes, yes it does. I mopped my entire floor,” she said.

“Usually I’ll have to past with my chamois mop but it was already dry by the time I came back, like fully dry.”

The mop head also had the benefit of being washable, with the only fault Emmy could find the fact that water ended up in the compartment you were squeezing the mop out in.

“I really wish I had a third compartment that caught all that water,” she said.

Emmy’s video got over 200 comments from people, many of whom said they had the more pricey version of the mop.

“I paid $60 for mine OMG,” one person wrote.

“I was going to buy the $50! Glad there is a cheaper version,” another commented.

Others said they were “going to buy this right now” while another said they had been “trying to find this everywhere”.

“I saw it today at Woolies … I’m def going back and (going to) buy it,” one person wrote.
