does it absorb large amounts of water...and is it easy for old folks to use

I have contacted the Libman company three times over several years, asking them to consider selling the mop without the wringer. It falls out of place while mopping, makes it hard to mop around things, and just gets in the way. It is not an effective wringer. I don't even try to use it anymore, I use my hands to wring the water. My son cut the wringer off of one of mine and it is an excellent mop without the wringer. I see that O-Cedar sells a micro fiber mop, maybe I will try that next time, since Libman isn't interested in offering one without the wringer.

It will absorb as much water as you want. It is incredibly easy to use. My personal opinion is that it would be easy for old folks to use however that would be dependent upon the individual using it.

The "mop" is light weight and looks like it should work but I gave this item a very negative report based on the disappointing fact that the one I have is very non absorbent. It works best at pushing a puddle around not picking it up. Perhaps there is some major variation in the product being sold under this name. I'm over 70 and didn't have any problem "using" the mop it just doesn't work (for me). The only reason I still have it is that Goodwill didn't pick it up last time they came around. Very disappointed with this item.

i would say it does absorb enough water that it will definitely require using that part of the mop you twist to expel at least some water to leave no paddles when mopping. as to would it pose a problem for older people - it could if they, for instance, suffer from arthritis. hope this helps.

It is easy to use and doesn't absorb a lot of water if you wring it out before use as the instructions suggest. It is great just to throw it in the washing machine after use!

You can just wipe with it and let it dry. That is unless you might have a sensitivity to it, and then you might need to use a wet cloth to remove it. But we use it on my elderly mother who wears a depend and "leaks" and it works great. Keeps her smelling and feeling fresh. Just a clue that we use....we buy a container of 200 inexpensive wipes and pour a whole bottle in the container and presto.....you have wipes ready all the time

It humidifies by running water down a mesh filter while air is being blown through the filter and some of the water evaporates. Any water that doesn't evaporate collects at the bottom and drains away. And yes you end up wasting a lot of water.

That's what we are using it for and it is working out great . The product is doing just what we wanted it to do. Mom is 94 and has made it a whole lot easier to move her in and out of the shower. Glenn

Yes I found it very easy to use and I am 78 so hopefully your mother will cope too.

My elderly parents really like it. I haven't tried it. My dad has diabetes and my mom has heart trouble. So far, it's been gentle enough for them, but they say it feels helpful. It massages strongly enough that it helps move the fluid accumulation out of my mom's legs, though. I don't think it's very strong pressure.

Yes it is porous material so the water will seep through if you water slowly. It also blocks the sun from drying out the ground so you will have to water less.

I've only used a few times but it worked just fine. When I first got it, I filled it with water and my 8 year son and I had a water battle. No problems.

I got this for my mom, who is almost 90, and she sometimes lets it run dry. So far so good.

hard to answer... mine had a hole in it so it filled with water and was unable to clear all of the moisture.

Since it's quite large it absorbs quite a bit of liquid. It will absorb my medium dog's pee quite well.

Definitely not. It soaks so much water that it weighs about 5 pounds when wet. It will never dry if you leave it outside in the rain. It also traps everything in it, which is great inside but just as bad outside.

I am not really sure because I don't use it, it is the same as my mother used long ago. My mother is 101 and she was delighted with it. This does not help you very much.

Well I would say no. I use it, and it's back to soggy in less than a minute. Also it leaves a lot of dryness and my skin peals off. I hope this is helpful.

You can use it immediately. It has a rough feeling at first but it is functional, absorbing water immediately.

As the other commenters mention, it is thick enough to not be runny, yet absorbs easily, it can take a few pumps to prime the pump, but if that doesn't work chances are you got a defective pump. I'll be happy to send you a new unit free of charge should that be the case, just get in touch mail@createcosmetics.com
