A convenient way to extend the life of your tool: a mop attachment with a squeeze

Spin mops have long ceased to be something special in households.

Easy to use, practical and attractive in appearance, they greatly facilitate household cleaning work.

Special replacement attachments are available for spin mops. We’ll talk about removable products for squeezing mops in the article.

What is a removable block?

Modern squeezing mops consist of a base made of metal, plastic or wood and an attachment. She is a removable element that is directly responsible for washing the surface.

The predecessor of modern wrung-out mops can be considered simple wooden ones, on which a wrung-out rag was thrown on top. The functional purpose of all work surfaces is the same - high-quality wet cleaning.

Kinds

Replacement blocks are selected depending on the cleaning conditions and type of surface. However, the material and shape may be different.

Sponge

Part in the form of a sponge roller is included in the kit with mop and can be purchased separately. The sponge cleans the floor well and is not difficult to wring out without any special effort.

This nozzle is suitable for cleaning floors and collecting pet hair. As the sponge becomes dirty, it must be rinsed and wrung out using a special mechanism.

Butterfly

The basis of the butterfly design is also a sponge. But her spin principle is different. Excess water is removed by folding the nozzle and squeezing its two parts. The name “butterfly” itself comes from this method of folding.

When folded, the mop takes up little space. The butterfly absorbs moisture well, washes without leaving unsightly stains. The basic rule of use is to rinse well. The disadvantage of the nozzle is the high probability of breakdowns and a relatively short service life.

Rope

This attachment consists of ropes gathered together into one bundle. Squeezing is usually done by using a special bucket that contains a part for squeezing.

This model is considered economical and copes well with dirt. But you won't be able to collect pet hair with it.. This option is also not suitable for floors made of parquet or other material that does not tolerate strong moisture.

Tape

The ribbon attachment is similar to a rope attachment. It is based on strips of fabric. The material can be polyester, cotton or microfiber. Such fabric “panicles” are wrung out by rotation.

Flounder

Lightweight and quite simple in design, the flounder mop is suitable for washing various surfaces. The nozzle is attached to the base using clips, buttons or pockets, depending on the specific model of the manufacturer.

Externally, it is a removable rectangular rag made of highly moisture-absorbing material. Most often - made of microfiber.

Recommendations for selection

Manufacturers produce a wide range of mops and attachments.A review of the models will help you choose exactly the one you need.

When purchasing a new replacement part, The following points should be taken into account:

• size that must match the mop model;
• price;
• manufacturing material.

Natural cotton also leaves marks, does not last long, and is inferior in its characteristics to microfiber. A sponge cleaning part is the best option for picking up pet hair.

Flat rectangular

This attachment lasts quite a long time. Microfiber can be used to clean any surface, including parquet and laminate. The flounder model is convenient for cleaning under furniture with legs.

This mop can be used not only for wet, but also for dry cleaning. The attachment is easily removable and tolerates washing well at a temperature of no more than +40? C. The size of the pile on the working surface may vary - from small to large “pimples”.

Flat triangular

The triangular nozzle, like the rectangular one, is suitable for daily cleaning. Design feature: triangular shape. Thanks to her, it is not difficult for the housewife to wash the floor even in the far corners. Microfiber can be washed and dried.

Double sided

These attachments are suitable for both wet and dry cleaning. The side with short pile is intended for cleaning, and the side with long pile is intended for polishing the floor surface that has been previously washed.

Round rope

Long pile in the form of microfiber ropes is suitable for regular cleaning surfaces that may be exposed to moisture. The bristles of the nozzle are washable.

Spongy

This option is optimal for regular cleaning. It is suitable for collecting dust, small debris, hair and animal fur.

The maneuverability of this design is relatively small, and it is not always possible to rinse the corners well with a sponge nozzle.

How to remove and change?

When purchasing a new mop, it comes with instructions that indicate all the operating features. Including descriptions of attachments suitable for a particular model.

The replacement process is not complicated and is accessible to any user. No special tools are needed for this.

The nuances of fastening a new working surface are usually indicated on the label for the new nozzle. There is only one main requirement - the nozzle must be designed for a specific mop model. If this rule is followed, you can be sure that the nozzle will fit exactly.
