Why Chose A Flat Mop And How To Use Them

In order to get the most from the mop that you choose, you need to choose the right one for your needs. But where do you start? There are a few different mops out there that you can choose from, however, in this post we are going to focus on flat mops.

What is a flat mop?

A flat mop has 3 main parts that all come together to make the mop. These are: the frame, the mop head and the handle too. In the most part the frame and the handle will be purchased together, but will usually be separate and the mop head will be another separate purchase, as well as something that you can change and replace as you need to.

There are a few different types of flat mops that you can choose from and the main differences between them are in the frame and the mop heads too.

A folding frame flat mop is the most common system that you can buy. The frame is hinged, so that the mop part can fitted into a mop bucket wringer. You can also choose a clip frame, which is when the mop is head tightly across the frame, you will often find that these frames come with Velcro fastenings.

How do they work?

The thing about flat mops is that they don’t rely on being dipped in water to be used, instead you can spray a cleaner onto the floor which is then mopped up. This could be a cleaner that is part of the mop system, or this could be a separate spray that you spray and then mop up.

Why use them?

There are a variety of reasons why a flat mop might be the best choice. One of the main ones has to be because they are the best system if you want to limit the amount of water that gets on the floor, which is ideal for laminate and wooden floors.

Also, the mop head is normally a microfibre material which means it is excellent at picking up and absorbing dirt, leaving the floor cleaning than you can often achieve with a standard cotton mop.

Another reason that many people decide to buy a flat mop is because the mop heads themselves are reusable and easy to clean. Often they just unclip and can be washed in the washing machine, ready to be put back on and used again.

A flat mop is the ideal choice for those people who are looking to clean on a daily basis and who want to try and keep their waste produce as low as possible. So, if these things appeal to you, then why not choose a flat mop as your go to floor mop.
