Wall mounted mop holders
Wall mounted mop holders can be a very useful addition to your home if you know how to choose them. At the same time, the specifics of metal, plastic and other models must be taken into account. A separate important topic is the correct fastening with your own hands on a wall or on a cabinet.
Peculiarities
Normally, all cleaning accessories, including the wall-mounted squeegee holder, should be in one place. But not always they can be fixed at the desired point. Therefore, it is critically important to focus on the length of the handles and shanks, other parts of the structure, so that everything is efficiently placed. It should be noted that many of these products are of universal types. They allow you to hold, in addition to the mop:
-
tennis, badminton, racquetball rackets;
-
brooms;
-
canes;
-
many other things similar in shape.
You can meet such a device not only in a private house, but also in various public buildings. They are often bought for restaurants and other catering establishments, for shops and even business centers.
The structures themselves can be metal or plastic: the former are more reliable, the latter are noticeably easier and easier to install.
Longer lengths are optional - many great fittings are no more than 40 cm long and still satisfy all your needs. It is worth considering that the fixing nodes can be made of different designs.

The 5-hook mop holder has a good reputation. It is also suitable for brushes, napkins and garden tools. This product is made of plastic. Mounting can be done on walls or doors. Rubber rollers firmly hold various tools.

It's also worth paying attention to QuickFit. It is an attractive gray steel holder. Size - 440x70x95 mm. The greatest load reaches 2 kg. Installation is carried out exclusively on the wall.
Vileda Bruner is an even more reliable product. It holds 9 clips, but you can use a smaller number. Each part carries a load of up to 10 kg. Attaching and gripping the squeegee can be done with one hand. Each striker can be easily installed directly on walls and doors without the use of a main frame.
Choice
First of all, you need to pay attention to the method of holding the mops. Designs for 1-2 instruments may contain spring clips. When the squeegee pushes in, it pushes inward, causing the spring to bend. Its breakdown can be fatal, and it is difficult to correct the consequences.
In other versions, plastic or rubber rollers are used for 1-2 mops. When these rollers are pressed, they rotate and clamp the inserted tool into the grooves. Rubber can be rubbed, and plastic can be mechanically destroyed. To insert 3-5 items, S-shaped fixing hooks are often used. The hook must be lifted, and after fixing the crossbar with your finger, lower it.
Simple retainers are found in paired and single versions. When the narrow throat is pressed down, it will expand and wrap tightly around the instrument. Plastic sometimes cracks. Another disadvantage is the impossibility of pulling the shaft out without effort. On smooth plastic and tile surfaces, products with suction cups or Velcro can be used.
In addition to these practical parameters, you need to pay attention:
-
for dimensions;
-
precise bearing capacity;
-
the reputation of the manufacturer;
-
price;
-
reviews.
Fastening
A specific description of the installation can be found in the manufacturer's instructions or recommendations. But there is hardly anything complicated here that cannot be done with your own hands in 10-30 minutes. Even in the most difficult case, you only have to attach the holder to the wall or cabinet using self-tapping screws. Usually, the standard mount helps out, the procedure for using it is intuitive. It is also necessary to carefully choose a specific place for installation - most often in a residential building, mops are stored in bathrooms or in storage rooms.
