4. HIC Clean All Clip N Fit Cotton Mop
Award: Also Consider
Tagline: A 100% pure cotton mop with a sturdy aluminium rod makes your cleaning process a cakewalk.
The highly absorbent cotton mop from HIC is durable and does its job as you expect. The aluminium handle is not only smooth to hold but lasts long. The mop strands quickly absorb and release water and they dry up fast. Having longer cotton strands, the wet mop covers a larger area in a stroke and saves your time. The water expels completely in just two or three twists.Â
Things to consider before buying a wet mop:
1. Material
Most of the wet mops contain cotton strands as it is more absorbent and dries up faster. You may also consider microfibre mops that quickly clean the floor and need less water. However, cotton strands tend to shed less and last longer.Â
2. Features
Many wet mops are now coming with ergonomic features like auto-twisting, handle adjustment and removable mop head. Consider getting a mop with these features to save your time while you’re on the go.
3. Scratch-free
While cleaning, many wet mops tend to leave scratches on the surface. Usually, the steel clamp that holds the mop head, rubs against the floor as you clean. To make sure this doesn’t happen, go for a wet mop that has more threads and less gap in between.Â
