Weekly Wrap-Up: The Cuban Mop Revolution

Justine tested a Cuban mop for Remodelista—and it was a game-changer. She loved that it was made of wood, looked simple and pretty, encouraged eco-friendly cleaning methods, and, last but not least, actually cleaned her floors. Now we’re obsessed.

Cuban Mop DIY use — Above: Justine bought Cuban Style Cloths to put on her Cuban mop, but any old rag will do, she says. Wet the cloth with a cleaning solution to use it like a mop; leave it dry to use it like a Swiffer. See The Cuban Mop: The Near Perfect Cleaning Tool You’ve Never Heard of (and How to Use It).

Mini fridges aren’t just for the dorm set. They’re great for anyone who’s looking to save space or money. Check out Remodelista’s list of nice-looking compact refrigerators. See 10 Easy Pieces: Compact Refrigerators.
A pair of French expats living in New York City transform an old row house into a modern marriage of Brooklyn and France. We’re especially taken with the most mundane of details—the couple’s placement of the washer/dryer under the stairs. See Before & After: A French-Inflected Townhouse Renovation in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The open shelving in Serena Mitnik-Miller and Mason St. Peter’s kitchen is a sight to behold. We have serious storage envy over here. See Kitchen of the Week: A Hip, Low-Key Kitchen in Topanga Canyon.
