For mopping, have you seen the new silicone brushes? They are the greatest boon for cooks. They mop well, wash clean, do not melt or burn.
This stuff is also made into silicone pot mitts and spatulas. I love them.
And I love this site. Made pulled pork for company a few weeks ago and they ate and ate and ate. Only left us enough for 2 'pig sandwiches'.
