What Are Types of Mops?

1. Traditional/ String Mop

A string mop is the most common type of mop. It comes with a big mop bucket that is used for washing liquid and wringing out the mop. It is great for large places, it’s not the most effective at cleaning floors.

Otherwise known as a string mop, these are great for heavy-duty cleaning as their cotton fibers are super durable. You’ll need to invest in a wringing bucket if it doesn’t come with one already.

2. Flat Mop

If you have vinyl or hardwood flooring, a flat mop is a good type of mop for you because they don’t use too much water.

Flat mops are easy to use because of their slender shape. They can fit into small nooks, crannies, and corners. Some have removable heads that can be cleaned in your washing machine.

3. Spray Mop

A spray mop is quick, easy to use, and environmentally friendly.

Spray mops are just like flat mops, only they have a spray trigger on the handle, doing away with the need for a bucket. They’re worth considering if you’re short on cupboard space.

4. Sponge Mop

If you’re clumsy and spill your juice, soup, or cereal, then a sponge mop is a great choice. It’s super-absorbent, so it’s ideal for all types of spills.

Sponge mops are just a sponge on the end of a mop handle. It’s easy to scrub away a spot of dirt with this type of mop.

5. Dust Mop

A dust mop is exclusively for cleaning dust. It’s a great type of mop to pair with a wet mop.

Before you wet clean your floor, you can use your dust mop to remove dust and trash from the ground or from a ceiling fan’s blades up above.

6. Strip Mop

A strip mop is a relative of the string mop, but instead of strings, we’ve got strips of fabric. These mops can be used wet or dry. When dry, they’re great for dusting.

The strips easily remove dust from a surface without spreading it around everywhere.

7. Steam Mop

Steam mops are electrical mops that emit steam to clean the gunk from your floors.

This type of mop works on hard floors and carpets, so if you have both in your house, this is the mop for you.

8. Spin Mop

A spin mop is like a string mop, but with a twist. Literally.

Spin mops are made with string and come with a bucket. You can use a spinning function to wring out the water more easily inside the bucket.

9. Microfiber Mop

This is a great type of mop that is overtaking the industry. Microfiber has great cleaning abilities and can absorb as much, if not more, than a sponge can. Plus, it’s easier to clean than a sponge.

A microfiber mop will last a long time since the microfiber heads can be washed hundreds of times without degrading in quality.

10. Static Mop

A static mop is another type of mop used for dry cleaning. It collects dirt, dust, and debris using microfiber. Microfiber can act like a static, hence the name static mop.

These mops gather up small objects or dust so you can put them into a dustpan before wet cleaning your floors.

11. Brush Mop

A brush mop is a good combination of a broom and a mop. You can clean the floor as you would with a regular mop, but the added bristles make it easy to scrub stains away.

This is a great mop type to have in the kitchen to eliminate food and drink stains.

12. Robot Mop

If you’re a clean freak and a workaholic, you might need someone else to clean your house. But instead of inviting a stranger to your home, why not try a robot mop?

The robot mop will move around your room, mopping your floors as it goes.

How to Use Cuban Stick Mop?

We have noticed some questions that continue to crop up as we work to cover everything you should know about mop stick. And this question is one of the most common and important questions related to this topic.

The Cuban mop genius lies in the simplicity of its design—no bells and whistles, just two sticks that screw together into a T. And here are the steps to follow when using a Cuban stick mop.

1. Wet any absorbent, medium-size cloth—an old hand towel, dish rag, or even an old cloth diaper will work—with your favorite cleaning solution. Squeeze out the excess liquid, and lay the towel on the floor.

2. Wrap the cloth around the Cuban mop as follow:

– Place the mop head in the center of the wet rag or towel.

– Starting with the bottom edge, fold one corner over the top of the mop head.

– Repeat this fold on the other side.

– Fold the top corners toward you.

– Then, lifting the mop head slightly, move the mop toward you just enough to capture the loose ends.

3. To use, simply push the mop along the floor, being careful not to lift it off the floor. When one side gets dirty, flip the mop and use the other side. Once both sides are soiled, remove the cloth, rinse, re-wet with cleaning solution, squeeze, and rewrap.
