Our testers highlighted two features on this O-Cedar mop that make it a stand out in the mop category. Who it isn't for: People who are looking for a low-maintenance option that won't require much upkeep.
Who it's for: People looking for a deep cleaning tool for large spaces that can handle wet and dry messes equally well. Product Details: Weight (bucket empty): 3.89 pounds Handle length: 48.6 inches Mop type: Flat
It's small enough to tuck into the corner of a utility closet or mudroom, or even next to the toilet in a smaller home. The slim bucket acts as the mop's stand between cleanings. Considering how much we liked the experience of cleaning with this mop, a few minutes of assembly seems like a good trade off. Initial setup with this mop was another factor that mildly frustrated testers, since the instructions for assembly are on the vague side-for set up, our tester scored this pick just 3 out of 5. Testers also mentioned that, once your cleaning session is over, actually cleaning the bucket out and pulling off the mop pad does take some time-and you'll want to make sure you have a set of gloves handy to wring out the mop head before you toss it in the washer for a deep clean. Our testers did take off one point from the portability score because when the water bucket is full, it can be kind of unwieldy to carry around from room to room. This feature is particularly important if you're mopping laminate, unsealed wood floors, or vinyl, all of which can be damaged if too much liquid from mopping seeps under the floorboards. This tester-favorite mop set scored a 5 out of 5 for the design, which makes wringing excess water out of the mop easy. It's important to note that there's no "clean" water side or "dirty" side-the squeegeed water goes into the same reservoir you dunk the mop in, just like with a regular mop bucket. This pick actually comes with an innovative bucket design that lets you dunk your mop head in water on one side, then use the other side to squeegee the excess water off. Most flat mops require you to spray cleaning liquid directly on the floor or have their own mounted cleaning fluid that can be dispensed with the push of a button, which can slow you down and get expensive. This pick has a relatively small bucket that needs to be refilled every now and then during larger jobs. Who it isn't for: Chore-doers who mop a lot of space at once. Who it's for: People who have moisture-sensitive flooring, like laminate or vinyl, and people living in homes with a lot of dry debris, like pet hair and dust. Here are the best mops, based on our testing. We also rated them on how easy they were to set up and to clean so we understood how long the entire process of cleaning your home might take. We tested 15 mops over 16 hours, cleaning up spilled spices, dried barbecue sauce, and dried juice to see which mops were the best at cleaning up messes. These are ideal for scrubbing grout or loosening dirt on more rugged stone floors but can scratch hardwood and other more delicate floors if not used properly." We spoke to Kathy Cohoon, director of franchise operations at Two Maids & A Mop, who also noted one big concern when looking for mops: "Be mindful of mops with plastic scrubbing nubs. Picking the best mop for you depends on what type of floor you're cleaning, how much time and money you're willing to spend keeping your mop clean, and what kind of messes you'll be cleaning up the most. Owning the right mop to get the job done will help make cleaning go a little faster and keep you from damaging your floor in the process. Mopping-it's probably not your favorite chore, but it is one of the most important, especially if you have kids or pets at home.
