A friend of mine told me about this Face­book com­pet­i­tion held by Aus­tralian clean­ing gear com­pany Sabco. The idea is to makeover one of the company’s new product (known as the Super Swish Spray Mop) using any medium, and post the res­ult on your blog. With a large cash prize and free mops for every entrant, I thought I’d give it a go.

So here’s my entry and free mop. I tried to focus on the idea of it being this really fast and kick­ass object (as far as mops go, at least...), and so I figured attach­ing the mop to a heavy motor­bike should get that across. I doubt this design would make clean­ing the kit­chen easier though, maybe it would for a ten kilo­metre long, thirty cen­ti­metre wide stretch of land?

You may notice that I’ve yet to unwrap my new mop, I was pretty sur­prised that they’ve gone through the effort to present wrap them actu­ally. It’ll be nice to not have to get down with a rag next time I clean the floors.

For those inter­ested, Sabco’s face­book page can be found at facebook.com/Sabco.Australia

Edit: I spent some time work­ing on the piece a bit more for my own sat­is­fac­tion and updated it to the final version.
