Three tips for buying a mop

There are different types of mops, with different areas of use and subtleties. For example, a wet mop is good for removing stains and dirt, while a dry mop with a microfibre head is better suited for collecting dust.

Some mop models can be wrung out in a bucket, others have a small tank on the handle that you fill with detergent and then press a button to spray on the floor.

A spray mop gives you the advantage of not having to fumble around with a scouring bucket, and it’s also easy to regulate the amount of water so that you don't accidentally damage a sensitive wooden floor.

A flat mop has the advantage that it quickly sweeps over larger areas. On the other hand, it does not reach as well in tight areas – for this, it is better to use a twist mop.

As the name suggests, a steam mop uses steam to clean, and thanks to the high temperature of the steam, germs are killed without the use of chemical cleaning agents. You can also use it to clean carpets. The disadvantage is that you need to connect it to a power source.

  • A telescopic handle makes the mop easy to store. To use, pull the handle out to the desired length and, when finished, push it together again. You can also extend the mop so that easily it reaches high up, for example if you need to wipe the ceiling.

  • Washable mop heads are a real lifesaver, both for the economy and the environment, as you can toss them into the washing machine when you’re done. Double-check that they can withstand 60 degrees, as this is when the bacteria die.

  • A scouring bucket with a pedal allows the mop to wring out when you step on the pedal, which is gentler on your back as you avoid having to bend forward and wring it out yourself.
