Mop the Floor with the Mops

You enter this level of the basement and find that it's filled with magically animated filthy mops. There appear to be about n of them.

Some filthy moppet must've borrowed his master's hat and set them to work making the floor dirtier. Looks like you'll have to magically de-animate them if you want to get through.

(Failed attempt)

You attempt to cast a spell on the filthy moppet's filthy mops, but it only makes them stronger and more animated. You beat feet before they mop the floor around, under, and with you.

Mop the Floor with the Mops
(Successful attempt)

You recall, using your prodigious memory, a spell designed to de-animate household cleaning products. You cast it, and the mops collapse to the ground, as dead as a group of n dead doornails.

You head down the stairs.

References

• The "filthy moppet who stole his master's hat" is Mickey Mouse from The Sorcerer's Apprentice, from the 1940 Disney movie Fantasia. In this short, the mops were set fetch water. The concept of de-animating the mops comes from conclusion of the short, where the sorcerer returns, and is able to de-animate the mops, stopping them from further flooding the castle.
