Top 5 Best Floor Cleaning Mops for Home - Review with Pros & Cons

Factors to Consider Before Buying a Floor Cleaning Mop

Size and Type of Cleaning Head: The greater the size of the mop head, the higher the mop’s absorbency and hence better cleaning. Also, it is advisable to opt for a long-lasting microfiber cleaning head that can be re-washed, re-used and is unlikely to cause allergic reactions as it is more hygienic than the others.

Light Duty or Heavy Duty Cleaning: If a very large area is to be cleaned regularly, a steam mop should be your choice. For everyday mopping at home, microfiber mops work best and for small spills every now and then, sponge mops should do the trick.

Mop Accessories: Most of the floor cleaning mops available today come in a set along with extra refills, a bucket with built-in wheels and/or a handle to pull it along, a drainage outlet in the bucket so that you don’t need to touch the dirty water and so on.

Depending on your requirements, you should choose the mop that works best for you and comes with useful accessories and features that make cleaning an easy task.
