Wet Mops

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 in the cleaning equipment industry. 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 than looped 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 are color coded blue for wet mop and white for microfiber dry mopping.
