Differences

Spin mops from different manufacturers have design differences, namely:

1. Rope models. Their washing surface is represented by a round nozzle made of numerous ropes. They can be made from cotton, polyester and microfiber. Such products are sold complete with a bucket in which the spin system is represented by a mesh insert.
2. Tape models. They look like rope mops, but their cleaning surface is made of cotton strips. To spin, you need to press the lever, which twists the nozzle and removes excess water from it.
3. Sponge models. The working surface is represented by a polyurethane roller of different hardness. These mops do a good job cleaning the floor, but the attachments are short-lived and require regular replacement.
4. Butterfly model. To wring out the washing surface, you need to pull the lever. The nozzle will fold like a book. Such mops come in sponge, microfiber and cellulose types.
5. Flounder model. Its attachment is removable and placed on a flat rectangular base. Spinning is carried out by rotating the handle.
6. Bucket model. The squeezing mechanism is built into the container and therefore requires minimal human intervention.
