"Where have you been all my life?" Shoppers are writing loving odes to a $40 mop.

There’s not much to love about cleaning.

But when a product makes cleaning easier and maybe even enjoyable, we’re paying attention.

Enter the Sabco SuperSwish Spray Mop – a $40 mop has managed to inspire gushing reviews and professions of love.

One woman even wrote a love letter to her mop on Facebook:

“Dear Sabco SuperSwish Spray Mop,” she wrote.

“This photo does not do justice to your beauty. In this my year of organisation you have made my life so much easier. Where have you been all my life.”

Another told her family and friends to do themselves a “favour” and buy the mop right away.

“Just did the whole house in like 15 minutes. Mostly tiles. Dries fast because no excess water, easy, works really well! Uses minimal floor cleaner. Then just chuck the end in the wash. So happy I bought this!”

So what's so special about this mop?

Well, it has a removal bottle that can be filled with water or cleaning chemicals, which then can be sprayed out from the mop head - so there's no need for a bucket.

As one reviewer found, this meant that it was particularly useful on wooden floors that can be damaged by too much water.

"I found this mop and have never looked back. It is so easy to use and the water sprays just the right amount to use on hardwood floors," she wrote.

"Unlike traditional mops that have too much water in the head this uses the amount you want every time, avoiding damage to your wooden floors. I would never go back to a traditional mop after this ever again."

Fans of the mop also liked that the pad could be cleaned in the washing machine and reused.

It's not the only spray mop on the market, but it's the one that is getting the most attention.

A glowing review of the mop was recently shared in the Mums Who Clean Facebook group and received hundreds of other positive comments, news.com.au reports.

However, not everyone loves the mop, which can be purchased from Bunnings and BIG W, among other places, for $40.

Some said it broke easily or they found it left their floors streaky. Others said it only lasted them six months - but as the mop has a two-year warranty, that should mean they can replace it. Still, it seems that those with negative experiences are in the minority.

It’s fantastic for wooden floors that cannot be wet mopped. You put the wooden floor cleaning solution in and the spray delivers a fine mist that cleans and shines extremely well. It glides easily and is highly manoeuvrable. It’s a game changer.. ha ha

I have one of these, and it’s the best $40 I’ve spent in ages! I bought it a few years ago, and it’s holding up just fine. It’s really great for small spills - when you dribble your coffee or the kids drop some food on the floor. I love being able to clean my bathroom floor without lugging a whole bucket full of water around.
