Types and models

The market offers a huge selection of microfiber mops. Models often have telescopic handles made of metal or plastic, and a leg, directly to which the attachment is attached. The mop is necessarily included, but you can also purchase it separately. Thus, it is easy to replace the nozzle if necessary or add additional ones for different areas of work.

  • rectangular;
  • triangular;
  • round.

The rectangular butterfly mop is the most popular. Oit has a more classic look, perfectly collects dirt, is flat, thanks to which it gets out debris even from under low furniture. Most often, the size of the flounder is 40 x 11 cm. These are the optimal parameters for home cleaning. There are also larger flounders that are ideal for cleaning large areas.

Mops with round nozzles often come with a bucket and a centrifuge. Outwardly, it resembles a deck mop, but the ropes are microfiber, and the nozzle itself is often attached directly to the handle.

How to use?

For dry cleaning, for example, to brush off the old wallpaper from the wallpaper, just put on a clean nozzle on the mop and run along the walls. If the cover can be washed, the mop should be slightly moistened. Similarly, you can wipe stretch ceilings, but carefully.

If the floor is relatively clean, you only need to wipe it, then you can moisten it with water from a spray bottle and wipe it with a mop. It is recommended to first collect the garbage with a vacuum cleaner. This cleaning method is suitable for parquet floors.

If wet cleaning is required, then the attachment will have to be removed and rinsed. Then put on the flounder. First, on one side, then thread into the other loop and straighten the platform until it clicks. Some housewives got the hang of inserting the mop into the nozzle spread on the floor. If the attachment is with Velcro, then just attach. In any case, the microfiber itself will have to be squeezed out by hand, and if there is a lot of dirt, then rinse it often.

An exception is the belt packing if a centrifuge is included with it. The mop is first lowered into a bucket, and then, pressing, I wring it out in a centrifuge.

After cleaning, it is recommended not to leave the detachable attachment on the mop. It is rinsed and left to dry.
