Vileda 11348 UltraSpin Ready To Go Mop Kit Red

Product Information

Cost of refills: Most mops with disposable cloths require refills specific to the mop brand, and some also require a cleaning solution refill. Over time both of these can get pricey but may be a good option for someone who does not want to worry about storing a damp mop or likes the convenience of disposables. A spin mop has a rotating microfiber head that’s wrung out with a spinning basket. What’s the difference between a spin mop and a flat mop? Here’s an in-depth look at how our team tested each mop’s mobility, spot cleaning, floor cleaning, and wringing efficiency. Mobility

We measured mobility during each step of our testing process. Once all tests were performed, we calculated a spin mop’s mobility by comparing it to its competition. For example, the spin mop that was the easiest to move from area to area received all 5 possible points, while the second-best received a 0.5-point deduction, the third-best received a 1-point deduction, and so on. If the mobility of two spin mops was equal, each mop received the same score. Spot CleaningGetting to grips with grime without breaking a sweat, those microfibres blast away hardwood and ceramic tile floor-based bacteria using just water alone, while the sensitive nature of the pad makes this the ideal option for dealing with delicate surfaces, such as parquet – should you be so flash. Sponge mop: These mops come in handy when cleaning up a spill since sponges absorb a lot of liquid fast. Most sponge mops are also slim and lightweight, making them a good option for someone who finds other types of mops too heavy or awkward to use or doesn't want to deal with disposable or washable pads. They come with either a roller or butterfly wringing design, and can require a fair bit of strength to thoroughly squeeze out the sponge. Be sure to rinse them well before storing them to control germ growth and odors. Once the sponge mop head gets too dirty to use or it falls apart, it’s time to replace it. The spot cleaning test was two-fold, with each model scored on its ability to absorb a water spill and a soda spill. The spin mop that used the fewest passes to clean the liquids received all 5 possible points, while the second-best received a 0.5-point deduction, the third-best received a 1-point deduction, and so on. If two spin mops performed the same, each mop received the same score. The Braava Jet robot mop comes with pads for dry sweeping and two types of wet cleaning pads: disposable and reusable. While some robot mops clean with just water, this one uses a mix of warm water and iRobot's own floor cleaner to moisten grime and gunk before one of the wet pads cleans dirt from your hard floors so it's actually cleaning.

Note: The spot cleaning score was calculated separately for the water and soda tests. Floor Cleaning—Application This electric scrubbing mop from Bissell will put your grandmother's old floor scrubber to shame. It's got a sleek design, is corded for non-stop power and comes with one set of soft and one set of spinning and scrubbing washable and reusable microfiber pads . To safely clean and scrub all sealed and finished floors, simply fill the tank with water and some of the included Bissell floor cleaning solution. Replacement heads: With repeated use over a long period of time, mops become dingy and may lose their effectiveness. You may want to consider a mop that has a replaceable head option so that when it’s time for a new mop, you can replace the head rather than the whole mop.

It’s easy to use, too. The microfibre head is both removable, machine washable and you can buy replacements once it starts to look threadbare, and the refillable reservoir bottle wets the mop head with a simple squeeze of the trigger.
