What to look for when choosing a floor mop

I still have washed the floors by hand. But recently at work I found out that some of our employees have long switched to mops. And they are not going to give them up. I remembered this when I saw a variety of mops in the store, which the customers enthusiastically discussed with the seller. I also wanted to try, but did not immediately make a choice. Because there is plenty to choose from! I decided at first, so to speak, "to tighten the materiel." I learned a lot of useful things. I share.

Types of modern mops

In stores today, there are a variety of types of mops, differing in functionality, shapes, sizes and cleaning methods.

In the selection process, a lot depends on what is important for a woman and is considered useful.

Simple

A primitive T-shaped design, which is known to everyone from childhood. It has a number of advantages, including environmental friendliness, as it is made entirely of wood. It is also easy to use. Floor cloths are attached to the operating handle, allowing cleaning of various surfaces.

With fixed sponge attachment

The sponge is securely attached, wrung out mechanically and helps to quickly clean the floors in the apartment. Very functional and lightweight. The cleaning process becomes much easier and the time is reduced.

With attachments

Lightweight design with various attachments and butterfly wringer mechanism. Convenient, durable and inexpensive product for high-quality cleaning.

Rope

It has a telescopic, very comfortable handle with tightly twisted ropes at the end. They form a circle or oval.

The set usually includes a bucket with two compartments, which allows you not to bend over to squeeze the ropes. However, the spinning is rather weak, which is why too much moisture remains on the material. As a result, many housewives observe stains on the floor after it dries.

Steam

A modern and very handy gadget. Not only washes the floors, but also disinfects them along the way. The steam device can also treat upholstered furniture, windows and other surfaces in the house.

Reference! The disadvantage of modern steam mops with high functionality is considered only their high cost.

Otherwise, these are ideal cleaning devices that can significantly make life easier for housewives.

What to look for when choosing a comfortable mop

Convenience when cleaning floors is an important component of fast and high-quality cleaning. A woman should not feel like a hostage to her own home. Tidying up should be fun, not a burden. High-quality mops can serve for many years and be an inconspicuous helper in the house. Mops made of low-quality materials break very quickly.

• The first thing to look out for is material of which the mop is made. On the market of goods you can find products made of aluminum, plastic and wood.

Reference! Lighter materials are popular: plastic and aluminum. Wood is more environmentally friendly, but it is heavier and must be well processed so that a splinter does not accidentally get under the skin.

• Functionality is also an important selection criterion. Note - whether it will be possible to process hard-to-reach places without additional manipulations. For example, under low furniture and in other parts of the room.
• Spin method. Clarify how easy can you squeeze material for washing. And also, is it possible to do this without bending over, without touching a wet sponge or ropes.

Which mops housewives find the most comfortable

Based on the feedback from experienced housewives, experts have compiled a kind of rating of popular types of mops. Each of them helps to solve cleaning problems and does it quickly, without much effort. It remains only to choose a suitable "assistant" for yourself.

Of course, these findings are not absolute. Each of us will be able to supplement it with our own experience and impressions. But when choosing, this information may be useful to you.

• Leifheit 57023. This model is considered by housewives to be the best product among butterfly designs.

• Leifheit 56710. Possesses unsurpassed lightness, compactness and convenience use.

• Vileda "1-2 Spray" 140622. The perfect mop for delicate cleaning, with a moisture spray.

• HAUSMANN HM-4. Better design with mechanical spinning.

• DOMCRAFT universal SIMPLE. Perfectly absorbs moisture, does not leave streaks.

Rather than bending my back with a rag in my hands, I also decided to buy a mop. Now I know the best models, I will look at the specific prices in stores and start cleaning with it. Do you have any experience with mops?
