Polishing the new wood floors

Omop

I heart Method.   And I love their new OMOP wood floor care kit.

Originally, Method's eco-answer to the Swiffer was packaged in a clear, plastic box.  Great green product on the inside, not so green plastic on the outside.    Now, they've gone back to the eco drawing board and repackaged it in eco-friendly bamboo fiber.    Here's a close shot of the embossed messaging:

The packaging is totally biodegradable and compostable, so I took it with me back to my cottage house and shredded it for the compost bin (I don't have one yet at the new house.  Spring project!).

I love microfiber towels, so I was happy to see a removable and machine-washable microfiber pad for the OMOP.  Just attach to the velcro strips, squirt seom of the OMOP cleaning fluid onto the floor, and wipe away.   Shiny floors.    Correction: Shiny brand new floors!

Oh, and a shot of something that puts a smile on my face: my new bamboo cutting board.   It is designed to sit inside the Kohler designed sink.  So I can chop vegetables right in the sink and push the peels and skins into a compost bucket.  No mess and no fuss.   And it just looks cool, too.   I can't wait to cook in the new house!

Hi Danny !
Love your new floors they look great. Also love your new kitchen sink with the bamboo cutting board great set up for the kitchen

I love the cutting board!! I bought one last year for myself!

Hi Danny,

Been enjoying your blog! This new Method Omop packaging is really pretty neat. We have a story on Sustainable is Good with more details on the new Bamboo fiber packaging check it out:

oooooo, I so need to get this! Thank you for the suggestion!

Good to see the update on the Method's packaging. I use this product and I hope more companies follow their lead.

You convinced me a while back to try the new method mop and I love it and love the microfiber cloth that can wash rather than toss. I am so glad to see them improve the packaging.

I also have a bamboo cutting board and have used it for a couple years now.

Both would make great shower or housewarming gifts for friends and family!

Hi Danny...I adore you and just found your blog...I am so glad that I did! I love method products, but have been having difficulties finding a cleaning solution for my laminate flooring. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!
