WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
The variety of cleaning tools in the house is increasing, and people often feel overwhelmed when choosing. Take modern mops for example, they are an indispensable weapon in our cleaning arsenal, and come in many styles. Faced with a variety of string mops by mop factory on the market, which one should we choose? Which one has the best value?
Features: The cleaning head of this mop is made of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) sponge, which has super strong water absorption ability, ten times that of a regular sponge. It is easy to operate, just need to immerse the sponge in water and lightly pull the handle a few times to remove the dirty water. After use, the sponge can dry and harden naturally, preventing bacteria growth. This new mop is not only suitable for cleaning floors, but also walls and ceilings.
User experience: The sponge quickly absorbs water when immersed in a bucket, and with a light pull of the handle, the water is easily squeezed out. Overall, it requires less effort to clean the floor, and even large and hard mud stains can be removed after a few wipes. Cleaning the mop is also easy. Note that if cleaning hard porcelain tile floors, do not squeeze the water too dry, otherwise it will be difficult to move. After cleaning, place the mop in a ventilated area, and the sponge will become hard and odorless as the water evaporates. It is important to choose a mop with high-quality sponges, as poor quality sponges can crack easily, have poor water absorption, and have a short lifespan.
Features: Improved by cleaning equipment manufacturers, this flat mop pad has become very popular in recent years. The mop head is designed as a flat plate instead of the traditional round shape, allowing the bottom plate and the floor to be fully loaded. The mop head is made of fine cotton yarn and ultra-fine fiber, making it easy to wipe away dust from gaps and corners. Many products also come with a towel holder, which can be easily loaded with various old towels for use in wiping the floor or cleaning glass and windows.
User experience: The flat mop replacement pads are very lightweight, although those with metal handles are slightly heavier. The mop handle uses a taper thread lock, ensuring that the length of the mop can be easily adjusted, allowing it to reach areas such as sofa and furniture gaps. However, the fine cotton yarn mop head is difficult to clean, while ultra-fine fiber material is prone to damage and cannot be used to wipe hard surfaces. Although the installation and replacement process is quite convenient and fast, it requires manual extraction. When drying, the fine cotton yarn mop head and ultra-fine fiber mop head can be taken off and separated from the mop; the former is more difficult to dry. Old towels and fabric can also be used to polish the floor.
Features: This mop is inexpensive, with plastic, wooden, and metal handles available. The mop head is often made of water-absorbing cotton strips or threads, which have acceptable cleaning power but are difficult to clean and may not have strong water-absorption in some cases.
User experience: The most traditional cotton string mop usually has a wooden handle and is the cheapest option. However, it is relatively heavy and requires more effort to squeeze water out. Although the cleaning power when wiping the floor is acceptable, it leaves more water marks and takes longer to dry. Disadvantages include that cotton mop heads are hard to dry, and are prone to odor and bacterial growth.
Features: In recent years, microfiber mop manufacturers have improved cotton mop heads by using water-absorbing fiber fabric, and paired the mop with a bucket and wringer for easier operation. This microfiber dust mop is lightweight, easy to use, and highly efficient when cleaning floors.
User experience: These mops usually have plastic handles, making them much lighter. When filled with water in the bucket and then placed in a wringer, the mop can be easily squeezed dry to remove excess water. It is flexible when cleaning, and can reach corners and edges. However, due to the lighter texture of the fiber fabric, stubborn stains may require more wipes to clean. The mop is easy to clean with a wringer bucket and has a smaller chance of developing odors. Choosing a mop with high-quality fiber fabric can extend its lifespan and prevent shedding.
