Product Information

Like the name suggests, sponge mops feature a spongy head that usually has an attached wringer. The head can be removed so that you can rinse and replace them easily whenever necessary. Sponge mops are best used in homes with tiled floors and other uneven surfaces. However, these mops require proper maintenance to prevent the spread of bacteria. Once you are done with mopping, the mop needs to be rinsed well and then placed upright in a place where it can dry completely. You should replace the mop head when you notice symptoms such as the sponge beginning to break apart, discolour, or emit smell. String Mops

Robot mops: As an advanced option, robot mops turn cleaning into a hands-free experience. They'll clean all of your floors on their own—just like a robot vacuum—and can often be controlled through an app. The Swiffer WetJet boasts the same convenience as the beloved Swiffer Sweeper, but it offers more cleaning power, thanks to its on-board cleaning solution. In our testing, we found that you can spray the solution using a button on the handle, and then use the disposable cleaning pads to trap dirt and grime on your floor. While you'll need to apply pressure for tough stains, the starter kit comes with two styles of mopping pads for targeting different spills, stains, and messes. Along with its stellar mopping abilities, you can also expect consistent vacuuming without having to fight hair wrap on this vacuum's tiny brushes. During home testing, we were thrilled with this vacuum's performance and how it always accurately identified flooring surfaces—mopping when necessary and vacuuming when needed. And while this robot is almost entirely hands-off when operating, take note that you will have to clean the brushes after mopping to avoid dragging residue during future cleans. We think this small effort is more than reasonable given how well this robot performs overall. Setup: For steam mops, we timed the setup of each mop and made note of how long it took each mop to heat up and be ready for use. When thinking about mops, you may picture traditional string mops, which feature long strands of absorbent fibers, but there are lots of different mop styles available today.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.

If versatility is what you are looking for, then dust mops are the ideal option for you. Dust mops are used for dry cleaning and not as a wet cleaning tool like other mops. Unlike other mops that are used primarily to clean floors, dust mops can also be used to clean ceilings, walls, and light fixtures. Dust mops usually come with a long handle, enabling users to clean often hard-to-reach places such as cobwebs on upper corners of walls. Dust mops can be made from a wide variety of materials including microfiber, synthetics, and wool. Steam Mops This mop heats up almost instantly, which adds to its overall convenience. We recommend taking extra precaution when cleaning around furniture though, as we found during testing that this mop's microfiber cloth head did stretch when it pushed around chair legs. However, it easily slid under the chair, thanks to the triangular mop head and swivel joint. It effectively removed stains on both tile and concrete, requiring the most passes on a syrup stain. Another option is to get a mop with disposable pads, which you'll throw away after each use. Berry notes that disposable wet pads are designed for use in one room before it's time for a new one. To keep your mop sanitary, clean the pad regularly, preferably after each use. Many of today's mop heads are machine-washable, which makes it easier to keep them clean.Spin mop: Spin mops come two ways. They can be manual or electric. They either have round heads with microfiber strings that clean in all directions or they are electric appliances with spinning microfiber pads. 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.

The most effective type of mop is the one that works best for your specific floor — there isn't a one size fits all solution, and each type of mop on the market has its own advantages.Ease of cleaning: We evaluated the ease of cleaning the mop and preparing it for a fresh use, by either wringing out the wet mop, squeezing out the sponge, or replacing the cleaning cloth. And speaking of the microfiber pad, it definitely did a good absorbing messes, but it wasn't as effective with dry materials. It really handles liquid well, but without a streamlined process to rinse and wring it out, you might feel limited in how and when you use it. We also ran into some issues with keeping the shaft tight, too, despite a design that otherwise feels durable and strong.
