Clean more, save more!
Did you know that over 45 Million spray mops, like Swiffer or Libman, have been sold in the last ten years? Let’s face it, these things are SO convenient! They make cleaning floors on a regular basis so much easier and quicker.
The downside is that the disposable mop pads are expensive, and they only absorb so much. They’re made to clean just one 10x15 room before they have absorbed their maximum mess. So to get a kitchen and even just one bathroom clean, you’ll probably go through two pads. If you mop only once a week, that’s still over 100 pads a year – and for those of us who have hardwood or tile floors in other rooms, or have to clean up more often because of kids or pets…YIKES.
And did you ever try to dry-mop with one of the wet-mop pads? Spoiler alert - It won’t work. Those pads are made to move liquid around, not attract dust. So now you have to go buy a DIFFERENT mop with its OWN box of cleaning cloths just to do the dry sweeping first.
Well, I can tell you that my wallet is effectively cleaned out!
Let me tell you a few things about the Green Glider Mop Pad that you may not know:
First of all, the outside of the pad is made of microfiber which is awesome at picking up dirt, dust and hair whether wet or dry. It completely eliminates the need for a second dry-mop and its own type of pads.
Secondly, its shammy core can absorb enough to clean 1500 square feet, compared to a disposable pad’s 150 square feet. That’s TEN TIMES as much, which means you can clean your whole house with one pad.
Third, Green Glider Mop Pads are adjustable, so the Velcro attachment straps adjust to fit the mop you’ve already got.
And finally, the best part – it’s washable and reusable. One Green Glider will get you through several hundred cleanings in a way that disposables just can’t.

The idea is to manage our carbon footprint. Everything we do (or don’t do) has an impact on our planet – our carbon impact. However, there’s a lot more to the footprint than just carbon. What we must do is think of our overall “footprint”, and try to tread as lightly as we can. Here is one way we can eliminate unnecessary waste from our everyday habits. Every little bit helps, and with the use of Green Glider reusable mop pads, we can start to make a significant change if we all work together to End the Disposable Trend!
We are very proud to be in the process of this noble cause and look forward to offering this extended “Green” program to complement our already environmentally beneficial product. So when skeptics blurt out “well, you have to throw it away eventually”, we can say, “actually, no you don’t”!
For centuries, moms everywhere have been creating solutions to their everyday needs. And increasingly those inventions are ending up on television, in stores, and in homes across the nation. As showcased on Fox News recently, that's precisely what lead Tanya Lewis to invent Green Glider mop head replacement.
Lewis has always looked for ways to save money, "During my childhood money was always tight. We re-used everything and nothing went to waste. Back then society was not taught to feel euphoric about throwing something away immediately after just one use. Now, as a mother, I’ve retained the values from my childhood years by reusing...and reducing unnecessary waste in our home by being creative and smart."
Determined to find a solution that was reusable, effective and saved money to End the Disposable Trend®, she realized the marketplace had little to offer. Microfiber pads picked up dirt but didn't absorb. Shammy was great at absorbing but just pushed the dirt around. But put them both together and you've got a patented solution's a proven winner.
Tens of millions of consumers already own one of these all-in-one mop systems that sadly lack the most important cleaning feature: an adjustable, reusable mop pad with top quality, durability and most importantly, absorption. Consumers love these new mop systems that have taken the floor cleaning industry by storm, but these devices aren’t what actually cleans your floor. It’s the “mop pad” that does the cleaning. Lewis has invented the eco-friendly mop pad so consumers can upgrade the mop they’ve already got. As sales rapidly climb, Lewis excitedly extols the benefits of being the creative mastermind behind Green Glider, the hottest new household brand to “Sweep the Nation!”
Now, by signing with Wow! Is Me, Lewis is taking her company to retail markets and increased word of mouth as mom's everywhere discover Green Glider. Wow! Is Me founder Adryenn Ashley was a fan of Green Glider before taking them on as a client, "As a mom, I'm hyper vigilant about my environment, using only organic all natural products, and with Green Glider, floors are so easy to keep clean that I don't freak out when my son picks up a piece of food off the floor and pops it in his mouth before I can stop him."
