Best floor mops for hassle-free cleaning, tried and tested
Is there anything more deeply satisfying than having sparkling-clean surfaces? And, whether you have hardwood floors, vinyl, tiles or laminate at home, thanks to the brilliance of modern mops, it’s never been easier to achieve these squeaky-clean results.
When it comes to choosing the right floor mop for your own cleaning arsenal, you’ll want to think about what it is that you’re trying to do. There’s the option of a flat mop to consider – these are often rectangular and have a removable microfibre pad attached to the head. These pads can be removed and washed, and are great for a quick swish around and getting into corners. They’re not heavy-duty, though, so couldn’t take on the heft of, say, dried-on Weetabix.
Spray mops are also popular right now. Designed with a trigger in the handle, you can fill a reservoir with water and a dash of cleaning solution. Then you push it round, spraying out solution as and when you need it. The heads on these tend to be microfibre, and rectangular, and you can ditch your bucket entirely, which makes them an excellent choice if you’re limited on space.
Of course, the traditional mop – the stringy ones that come with a bucket and department.
