V.I.P. Squeeze Cellulose Sponge Mop

This mop has a plastic handle, yay! It is NOT made out of metal. America's population is 330 million, of whom 10% (roughly 33 MILLION) have nickel allergy - they often get an itchy allergic skin rash from touching ANY item containing Nickel/other metals (especially for a sustained period of time) while some also get allergic from ingesting foods high in nickel = 'Systemic Nickel Allergy Syndrome' (SNAS). Therefore for millions of potential customers out there with NICKEL allergy or other metal allergies, THIS is a nice alternative mop that is safe for allergy sufferers. It can help keep household dust and pet dander under control too. It is affordable (I bought this for less than $7). For those with a Nickel/metal allergy, you would NOT need to wear special gloves in order to hold the handle (such gloves get especially hot in summer). I'm so grateful the handle is made of plastic! Also it is much lighter in weight compared to a mop with a wooden handle (as is my metal-free wooden-handled broom). Therefore, this mop is ideal for nickel/metal allergy sufferers who are also battling weakness or chronic fatigue. I always like a squeeze-sponge head--and importantly the blue squeeze mechanism part that you hold is ALSO made of plastic NOT metal and it snaps back into the handle easily. Finally this product is made by the BLIND so you are helping to support their career by buying this American product.
