Looks like this mop is a major design flaw

I bought my first ready mop in 2003, I used it all the time to mop my floor. It finally bit the dust in 2010. I went out and bought a nother ready mop soon after. The mop lasted a week before it cracked at the bottom where the handle attaches to the bottom part that holds the cleaning cloths. I wrote Clorox and explained to them how I really loved this mop and was disappointed that after only a month the mop broke. They told me to buy another one and send the receipt to them the the rebate form they had sent me. I received the replacement cost in the way of a check. So I have been using this mop for 4 months, it hasn't felt like I can use it as intended because it does not feel sturdy. I barely put pressure on it because of fear the handle will snap. Sure enough, went to mop a small area on the kitchen floor the other day and heard a snap, the same place cracked and once again the mop is useless. At this point I am way too frustrated to contact Clorox. I clean houses for a living, the lady I work for has a ready mop she's had forever and we can apply as much pressuer as needed to clean the floor. So I am not sure what the design flaw is lately.
