Microfibre mops are a great choice if you’re looking for an all-purpose mop. While it looks a lot like the yacht mop, the one key difference is that instead of cotton strings – this mop utilizes the awesome cleaning power of microfiber. Next up we have one of my personal favourites – a microfiber twist mop. Just think about how dirty your sponge can get…and now it’s mopping the floor? Yes, so in my opinion, don’t bother with them for floors. With floors, I find that they do streak because it doesn’t always wring out entirely (not to mention it’s hard to wring out), and they are also rather difficult to keep clean. The sponge can scrub well and reach high and scrub build up and stains, which is perfect for wall cleaning.

I remember it as the one Cinderella used to use, but it’s also commonly referred to as a string mop or deck mop. ![]() We’ll kick things off by talking about some of the more popular mop types and which mop you should use where, and I’ll also share some handy tips and tricks to help you become a mopping master!
