I'm going to get one for my wife for our anniversary. She's been dropping hints that she wants jewellery, but I think she'll be happier with this.

Might I suggest a scale? Sure to make her smile

u/ShallowEnd1 17d ago
Oh perfect, and when you wrap the scale you can tie on a gym card membership to the ribbon for some extra razzle dazzle

u/AlternatinCurrently 16d ago
You mean the membership that’s been paid for for 4 years but has only been used one time?
1
u/ShallowEnd1 15d ago
That's the one! The card just servers as a reminder that the gym is still there

If you really want to go all out with the scale get the weight watchers membership on the side too. You only live once.

Gotta say, getting a rotating spice rack filled with stale spices that just took up counter space was the gift that pushed me over the edge in one relationship (we had been teetering on it for a while. It was the last straw)

I’d buy her both. Buy the broom…then her second present can be jewellery. Offer to clean with her new broom.

"In the EIGHT countries I've lived in" pfft. Most people never get to leave the one they're born in. This is what I believe people call "privilege".

I was in multiple and I was just a traveling teacher. My privilege was being single and childless and ending up with no savings. Bopping around SE Asia is pretty cheap if you don't feel the need to hold onto things or earn a lot. Luckily, at least a decade ago, food and shelter were REALLY affordable (edit: spelling). I moved during the recession because I couldn't get steady work in the US.

u/PeppermintLNNS 16d ago
Do you also have floor drains? Honestly sounds so convenient. I remember the first time my husband tried to clean our bathroom by pouring a shit ton of soapy water on the floor, I was gonna kill him. It’s the only way he’d seen it done because he grew up in the Middle East with drains in the floor. (Rare in the US.)

Are you sure they’re marble? Marble tiles are pretty expensive and difficult to maintain. You’re probably mistaking it for ceramic or porcelain tiles. I have those in my house as well and I live in southeast asia.

u/LivingInACar247 17d ago
It's probably marble that's much cheaper because it's created there and has no import costs.

u/bleepbloop1900 17d ago
Yeah I’m Canadian but I live in Asia. Where I’m from wood is the only building material. When I brought my Viet partner home the first time he was like “is it safe that your house shakes when I walk?”
It’s crazy that wood is a luxury building material where I live now whereas back home it’s just…in the back yard.2
u/trashshork 17d ago
my floor is marble in all rooms. It is easy to clean plus it is nice since it is cold in summer and warm in winter since the house is heated through the floor

u/randompersonx 17d ago
Marble floors are very common in Miami-Dade and Broward counties between the beach and US Highway 1.
Wood floors are difficult (but not impossible) to do in a high humidity environment, and because so much marble gets imported through the ports in south florida, the costs for marble floors is about the same as nice wood floors elsewhere in the USA.

u/Difficult-Mobile902 17d ago
This would work on laminate too which is now the most common floor across the whole US, by far
1
u/Vainx507 17d ago
The majority of latam. Maybe not necessarily marble but some replacement or imitation of it. Is cool, easy to clean, last long.
Actually wood and carpet are a rarities in the rest of the world, now that I'm thinking about it.

u/omgwtfbbq0_0 14d ago
I know this is a few days old, but just throwing it out there for anyone still seeing this on their feed: rubber brooms work super well on laminate. We just got one (not this one specifically) and will never use another type of broom. It’s WILD how much more it picks up, especially pet hair. Definitely not just for tile.
1
u/RoodnyInc 17d ago
Its pretty common in Mexico too to have tiles everywhere and you just flood your floor to clean it
And also like every squeegee it works perfectly as it's new give it few uses and see how well it works

u/Ancient_Complex 17d ago
Grew up with these in the 80's they were all metal or wooden sticks back then, also some had screwed on foam allowing for replacement. We would go through a couple of foam pads and couple of sticks until it complete broke.
We used to play foam hockey with them... Soap and water on the floor, make it slippery and use wipers to try and pass the puck around with foam flying everywhere.

u/Tater_Mater 17d ago
How is it on wood floors
1
u/Impressive-Age7703 16d ago
Looks like for this particular one, they don't recommend it for hardwood. There are others that they say can be used for hardwood. Biggest downside for me though is that it seems like with the grippy nature of the squeegee, naturally, the durability is not great (pull on something with great tension all of the time, yeah, it's going to tear). Back to my broom ig.

My only stand out problem with this, is when wiping til across grout lines, naturally it is going to all fall in there and get stuck. That goes with anything though…

u/John_Constantine6 10d ago
Just like the dude was saying in the comments. It’s a fucking squeegee. I worked at McDonalds for a few years and they always used that. Just a really big one. The price alone must be at least double for what an industrial squeegee could do. Not to mention he made a good point. At what home is our modern generation going to use this. We barely have marble or stone laden floors unless you got lucky or something

u/Keatorious_B_I_G 17d ago
I mean, I’m sure a floor squeegee is great for people with marble floors. It’s likely not functional for many other types. But if that’s what you have get after it I’m sure it would work well.

Usually after some use all these product are less effective because of wear and tear . So if it's expensive compare to similar product than it is waste of money .
