A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

You’ve probably already replaced your mop already, but I’ve been using a basic string mop made by HDX (Home Depot) for the last year or so. Handle is a lightweight aluminum tube and the head isn’t replaceable so it won’t last forever, but it will probably give a few years of service. Paired it with a cheap bucket with an attachable wring top.

We actually wound up deciding to give a cuban mop a shot.
