All About Wooden Mops

For a comfortable living in any room, a person tries to create certain conditions, the main of which is cleanliness. To minimize the amount of excess debris, a broom and a vacuum cleaner are used, but a mop helps to effectively get rid of dirt on the floor. Despite the fact that modern mops can be made of various materials and have various dimensions, there are specific standards according to which wooden products are made, which are popular to this day.

People tried to maintain cleanliness and comfort at all times. The use of rags was effective, but not very convenient, as it required significant physical effort. This is how the mops appeared. The simplest, but at the same time, reliable material for the manufacture of these products was and remains wood. The wooden mop for cleaning the floor made it possible to quickly manage the process of cleaning the room, without spending significant efforts.

The design of such a mop is as simple as possible: it consists of a handle and a stick perpendicular to it, on which a rag is wound. The shank can be of different lengths and thicknesses, which allows you to choose a product for the growth of a particular person who will most actively use the mop.

There are certain technical characteristics by which manufacturers release their products. GOST for wooden mops has indicators of size, thickness, storage conditions and product use. A regular mop will be comfortable to use if it has the correct dimensions and is used for its intended purpose.

The wooden mop can be produced in different sizes so that it is convenient to use it for people with small stature and children, as well as for those who are of medium and tall stature. In this regard, mops with a handle of 120, 130, 140 and 150 cm can be distinguished. The longer the handle, the thicker its diameter must be in order for the product to be strong enough. The thinnest is considered to be 24 mm. If this parameter is less, then the handle is considered short-lived and brittle.

In addition to choosing the height of the cutting, you need to choose the right width of the base of the working surface. If the product will be used in apartments and small rooms, then a sufficient width will be 30 cm. Such mops allow you to quickly and easily remove dust and dirt from the floor and other surfaces. If it becomes necessary to clean a large room, then an overall mop is needed, the width of the working surface of which will be 50 or 55 cm, depending on the manufacturer and the shape of the product.

When planning the purchase of a wooden mop, it is also important to look at the thickness of the wood, which will be an indicator of the quality, usability and durability of the product. The width of the product depends on the type of wood, design and dimensions of the mop. More massive products are created from brittle wood species, which look rougher, have more weight, but serve for a rather long time and have a low price. You can create a decorative product with an unusual shape from hard rocks, as well as goods with decorative elements. The weight of such mops will be less, the service life is sufficient. The only negative is the price.

Depending on your preferences and wishes, it is possible to find a wooden mop for every taste and budget. A variety of options in size, weight and appearance allows manufacturers to maintain the popularity of these products.

• Functionality. When buying a wooden mop, it is important to evaluate its compliance with the size of the room. If the product is too bulky, then its use will bring discomfort, and the quality of work will be poor. The height of the handle and the width of the work surface should correspond to the height of the person using the mop, as well as the dimensions of the particular room.
