Need Mop Recommendation

NickNack · ‎03-10-2010

I want to buy a new mop for my housekeepers (2 of them) to use. They prefer rag mops. I was thinking about the Libman Tornado Twist mop. Does anyone use this mop and have an opinion of it? Any other rag type mops you can recommend? Here's a picture of the Libman mop. My sister has this mop and likes it. However, a lot of the reviews on Amazon and Target are not good.

The mop in the pic looks like a glorified rag mop to me.

@Mz iMac That's why I chose it. I said in my post that my housekeepers prefer a rag mop. I'm open to any mop though.

I have V35428 Don Aslett's Microfiber Mop. I really like it. It works as the video.

Just curious.....

Your housekeepers rag mop not getting your floors clean? If not, shouldn't they be buying their own "cleaning equipment"?

Hello,

I do not have this mop, but I did look at it recently when Out mop shopping.

Chose the O’Cedarr (spin mop ?) instead.

Reasons:

***The bucket is lighter, but not flimsy, and has a handle at the bottom to help lifting, and emptying

***It has a foot powered mop spinner that really does work, wrings the mop enough to use, does not sling out water, no bending, no hand wringing

***The mop head is short straight strands, not looped. IMO not so much pet hair tangling, machine washable

Have had this for about a year, well tested, big + DH likes it.

More information then you wanted, no doubt.

Joy to your family, furry and not so furry!

@Mz iMac They do use their own rag mop, and they do a great job. I decided I didn't want them using a mop that they used on other people's floors on mine. That's why I'm buying one for them.

@Drythe Thanks for suggesting the O'Cedar. I do like the idea that it's not looped. Since I have two pets the fact about the pet hair tangling is good, too. I'll consider that one.

Just read the reviews on Amazon, and they are much better than for the Libman mop. It gets many 5 star reviews.

Ask them what they want and if that is the rag mop then buy it and keep it at your place. (I asked my housekeeper to buy the mop she wanted to use and I would reimburse her and leave it at my house.)

I have the Don Aslett microfiber mop too but got mine about 8 years ago at a home show and altho it only came with two of the cloths those microfiber cloths are still going strong showing no wear. I toss them in the washer when I do towels. I bet if they tried one they would never go back to the rag mops. They are so much lighter and way far easier to use and do a fine job and take up even a bit less storage space than a broom.
