I am so pleased with this product. I needed something to dust off the top of my kitchen cabinets and tops of doors and high window sills. I have read elsewhere that you may want to rest the mop head laying on a newspaper overnight before you use it - to remove the 'excess wax'. I didn't do that and used it as is. I didn't mind having some wax on the wood. It flips a bit too easily if you are trying to dust at some angles but with a little finesse this is easily overcome.
