Rubbermaid Commercial Products Self-Wringing Ratchet Twist Mop with Blended Yarn Head, 54-Inch (1809375)

Yes, the zip tie broke on the old one I had, it lasted 10 years before breaking. Yes, I could've just replaced the zip tie, but decided to buy another. I also purchased more mop heads for the old handle, will use those in garage and for messier jobs. I like that it doesn't have a bucket with it. I fill and use it in the kitchen sink, as I like to replace use really clean water when I'm mopping. This mop is like the professional ones, but you can keep it a lot cleaner.You will like this mop if you think that washing the floor by hand with a cotton rag cloth is the best way to actually clean a floor, but don't actually want to do it that way.You will not like this mop if you like microfiber. You will not like this mop if you've ever believed a commercial for a magical cleaning solution. You will not like this mop if you have arthritis or something else that hinders ratcheting the mop so as to wring the water out fully. You will not like this mop if you've ever used the O-Cedar Microfiber Twist mop or the Libman Wonder mop and liked it. The Libman Wonder mop is the WORST mop I've ever used - hands Down!This mop is not suited for hardwood floors, or floors that are really super flat and shiny. I've used a mop like this one for hardwoods with a terry cloth rag covering. https://www.amazon.com/Cedar-Hardwood-Microfiber-Telescoping-Handle/dp/B06XWJV9PN/ref=sr_1_1_sspa Just like with this Rubbermaid mop I would wash out the piece that's cleaning the floor quite often.One thing about the Rubbermaid Ratchet Mop that can be slightly annoying is that if it doesn't go through the right loop when you go to wring it you'll have to stop and readjust, but I'm not giving it less stars because of this since I don't think it could be made any other way and have it still work as well.

Perfect quaĺity

Broke our last mop, so I ordered this one, even though I thought $42.50 was a little over priced. The delivery was pushed out by almost a week, so I went to Lowe's and bought a similar mop for $13.95, which does a good job. The Amazon mop is a little better as far as the quality of materials is concerned, but I am not sure it's worth $42.50. We will see it outlasts three (3) Lowe's mops!

I love this mop! I have been using this mop for many years. It works very well. I like the twist to ring out the water. Depending on your hand strength, I can wring out a lot of the water & HANDS STAY DRY. I usually go through a mop head about every year. I tend to use the scratcher part pretty often and it wears out fast. I usually buy two mop heads at a time, so I can have a clean one on while the other is in the wash. I can no longer find replacement heads and have to order a whole new mop, which is pretty expensive. It is my favorite mop so I will have to do what I have to do. I sure wish they would make replacement heads.

Used the mop for the first time today. As I was rinsing the mop in a clean water bucket before storing it to dry, the top cable tie came off and now the top of the mop head won’t stay on the pole. Putting another cable tie on is no problem, but this happened in the first 20 minutes of use. While putting on the new cable tie, I noticed the plastic clip that holds the bottom of the mop head on the pole is broken. I’ll have to tape it or something. Without the clip the bottom of the mop won’t stay on the pole. The engineers responsible for the mop must not actually mop very often. The mop head is very nice and mopped quite well. Design just doesn’t work. Sorry.

This is a high-quality twist mop! It easily locks the twisted mop in place when wringing it out, or storing it. There is a small scrub pad on the very bottom to help remove dried-on debris.The great thing about this mop is its compact size which allows you to rinse the mop in a kitchen sink without splashing all over the place. You can wring it "dry" and use it to damp mop the floor, or you can pull the mop out all wet and drench the floor! The mop fibers are very absorbent, and can be pushed into cracks and crevices with ease.You do have to get used to handling the mop so that the strings 'fall' into place before attempting to wring out the mop. Otherwise, the strings can get out of alignment, and make wringing the mop difficult. Minor thing to learn.

Just a great mop. Squeezes easily and cleans great.

I bought this at the recommendation of America’s Test Kitchen, and I’m feeling a little betrayed right now. On its second use the scrubber pad has fallen off and the mechanism that wrings out the mop head is slipping. It still works better than the sponge mop it replaced, but I’ll definitely be using my hand to squeeze out the dirty water on future uses. Grrr.
