Buyer's Guide: How to Purchase Cleaning Mops
Using of a magic mop is convenient as it requires less effort while cleaning. However, when making a purchase, it is necessary to keep a few things in mind. This will help you to have a product that would last long and give you a hassle-free mopping experience.
Mop Cleaning Head
The mop head is the most essential part of a magic mop. It is the head that is the one to do all the cleaning. So, when choosing a mop, it is important to check what type of mop head comes with the set.
Most branded companies would offer the microfiber mop since it lasts long and is durable in comparison to the other types of mop heads. The yarn mop and sponge mop give away easily and would need to be replaced more frequently.
Another significant aspect is the number of fiber threads twisted together to form a mop strand. This is also termed as yarn ply. The number of threads would be a deciding factor in understanding the strength of the mop.
However, if the mop has high ply, its absorbency gets affected. It is therefore advisable to choose a mop that has low ply with high quality yarn. The size is another aspect that matters here. It is ideal to choose a large size mop head.
The larger size mops have a greater cleaning ability in comparison to the smaller ones. If the product mentions germ-free microfibers or details like antimicrobial additives added to the fibers, it is definitely an add-on in terms of hygiene.
This would help shield the mop head from bacteria, yeast, mold etc. Microfiber mop heads are also considered the best as they have a greater ability to absorb liquid in comparison to other mop heads.
There are some heads that rotate at 90 degrees and some that rotate at 360 degrees. You can choose the mop that would suit your requirement accordingly.
Wringer
Ensuring that you keep excess water off the floor while mopping, is significant to avoid mishaps that could happen with wet floors.
The wringer fits the role of helping to remove excess water from the mop. You can press the wet mop onto the wringer, it rotates to squeeze out the excess water. This would allow cleaning and also help prevent having slippery floors.
The stainless steel wringers are considered to be durable and long lasting in comparison to the plastic ones. However, some products have plastic wringers but are still known to be rated well.
Handles
The handle of the mop gives you the comfort of mopping without bending.
Most of the handles are made of steel rods. In order to adjust the height while mopping, some handles have two steel rods joined by screws. While other mops have a twist lock system with an on and off button for adjustment.
So based on the features provided for height adjustment, you can choose the one you would be comfortable using. You should also consider the width of the mop handle when making a purchase. People with smaller hands would not be comfortable having to clean with a thick diameter mop handle.
However, the thinner handles are not as sturdy as the thicker ones. So it is necessary that you check the diameter of the mop handle before making a purchase.
Bucket
The buckets made of high quality plastic are durable. They come in different sizes. If you have a large space to clean, the larger size buckets would be ideal. So, choose a size as per your preference.
Further, there are products that have a single compartment and some that have twin buckets. In a twin bucket, you can dip your mop in the clean water and drain the dirty water out on the wringer side of the bucket.
The division ensures that the dirty water does not mix with the clean water. Besides this, there are buckets that have an inbuilt liquid dispenser that allows to dispense the soap as required. This prevents wastage of soap.
Products with a drainage outlet at the bottom is another feature that’s handy as you do not need to turn the bucket upside down. Simply let the outlet release the dirty water after cleaning is done.
The wheels at the bottom and handles to pull or carry the bucket are features that would ensure smooth and effortless movement while cleaning. Check for such features when you make your purchase.
Warranty
When you buy a product, it’s normal to wonder how durable and long lasting it is. So checking if the product is covered by the manufacturer at least for a few months is natural.
Some products may last for years, but if a product comes with a warranty, it is always a plus. This indicates the trust a brand has in its products, and that they would stand by it if anything goes wrong.
So based on the features, once you have made your purchase, it is important to remember that you take proper care of your mop to ensure that it serves its purpose of cleaning.
The mop handles and mop heads are prone to house bacteria which would cause bad odors, stains and an unhygienic environment. Choosing mops that have an antimicrobial layer of protection would prohibit the growth of bacteria.
However, in any case it is advisable to wash re-used mop heads thoroughly before and after cleaning. Doing this would reduce the chances of allowing the growth of bacteria. Always hang up handles and mop heads in a ventilated area to dry completely.
If a mop happens to get infected with bacteria, do not use bleach to clean it, as this would cause the mop to rust or erode. Instead, use soap and water to clean. If the bacteria grows way out of proportion, you may need to dispose of the mop.
Therefore, it is important that you wash the mop well after every use to ensure it lasts long.
We hope that the tips mentioned in this article, would be helpful in guiding you to make a wise and ideal selection to suit your requirement and give you a worthwhile cleaning experience.
