Types Of Wet Mops
The three main types of wet mops are:
-
Looped End Mops - Looped end
mops are probably the most common wet mop used today. The looped ends
on the mop give it extra surface area allowing it to hold more liquid
and cover more of the floor with one swipe. The lopped ends on this
type of mop also stop the mop from snagging and catching on corners or
under furniture. Looped end mops are typically a little more costly
than cut end mops but last a little longer and do a better job. The
looped ends on the mop also will make it unlikely that the mop will
fray or unravel. Some of these mops are launderable and can be
cleaned and reused countless times.

Cut End Mops -
Cut end mops are
great for spill cleanup, home use or as a disposable mop head. Cut
end mops are usually less expensive that lopped end mops because the
strands just attach on the mop band end. These mops will usually fray
and unravel over time and are not recommend for machine washing as the
strands will tangle in the washing machine.
-
Microfiber Wet Mops - Microfiber mops are great for
residential use or for areas that need quick and constant cleanup.
Microfiber mops can be easily thrown into the washing machine after
each use for easy cleanup. These mops are generally smaller in size
than dust mops and re color coded blue for wet mop and white for
microfiber dry mopping.
