But many other devices are sold that can be great helpers in the household. A flush mop will be suitable for regular home cleaning. Such products are inexpensive and durable. Read more about them in the article.
Characteristic
Mop-flunder - accessory for cleaning floors, walls and ceilings. It is presented in the form of a light plastic or metal stick with a length of 40, 60, 80 cm. This indicator for some devices is regulated by the mounts and a button in the middle of the holder, so that it can be folded and brought to the desired compartment for pressing in the bucket without unnecessary movements.
On the one hand, the product is mounted on a metal handle, and on the other, it has a metal or plastic platform rotating around an axis and changing the angle of inclination. Flat textile nozzles and mops are attached to this site, thanks to which cleaning is carried out.
Included with the squeegee flounder is a bucket with a compartment for squeezing mops. It has a pedal with which the nozzle is folded without the need for bending. It also allows you to squeeze the mop, which simplifies cleaning. But rinse and squeeze it out manually.
Fixture manufacturers are constantly updating them. For example, Spin Mop sticks have a non-standard length (15 cm higher than usual). The bucket includes 9 liters, it has a metal centrifuge to protect against spraying a convenient rinse system. You need to install the mop in the bucket, press the pedal so that the water itself washes away the dirt. The length of the handle can be adjusted, so this indicator can be selected. Many housewives appreciated the possibility of using such a convenient product that perfectly cleans the surface.
Benefits

- Used for wet and dry cleaning.
- There are no stains on the floor.
- Microfiber mop provides the ability to not use chemicals.
- A flat rotating platform and a long handle of the product allow to process even hard-to-reach areas.
- It can be used for mopping, as well as horizontal and vertical surfaces.
As can be seen from the reviews, many housewives appreciated the benefits of the product. They use it for regular cleaning. After that, there are no traces on the floor, the surface looks perfectly clean.
disadvantages
There are also disadvantages to such a mop:
- Fairly high cost.
- Not suitable for homes with pets.
- To clean the floor, repeatedly remove and rinse the nozzle.
What is a mop?
A mop for a mop-flounder is a rag that does the cleaning. Most of them have pockets - belts that are inserted into the latches and clamped by them. A poor-quality fiber nozzle is immediately noticeable: her belts are short and made of synthetic material, which is difficult to fix with latches.
The squeegee squeegee nozzle is made from cotton, microfiber, mixed fibers, synthetic sponges and other materials. All mops have different composition, length of fibers, which can have different purposes.
Before purchasing, it is important to learn about the features of the nozzle: if it is used for other purposes, then there will be no cleaning result. For example, acrylic products are used for sweeping surfaces, but they are not suitable for washing.
Cotton nozzles for the mop-flounder are considered universal: they perfectly collect water and sweep with high quality. But the stitched mop from this fabric has disadvantages: cotton is an organic material, therefore it rots and bacteria accumulate on it. Therefore, for wet cleaning, they are created from synthetic materials. They do not rot, are wear-resistant, antibacterial, easily cleaned of dirt, and quickly absorb.
Some mops are treated with a product, because of which it is possible to wash the floor without using chemicals. There are universal nozzles for the mop-flounder. Reviews about them are positive: housewives use them to clean the entire room, because the products are designed for washing and sweeping. Moreover, the result of their work is very pleasing.
Another advantage is the ability to purchase a nozzle if it was not included. At the same time, manufacturers are engaged in improving not only products, but also additional devices. The features of Easy Mop include the versatility of the microfiber nozzle, which cleans surfaces qualitatively, absorbs water perfectly, and removes dirt and dust. Mistresses appreciated the benefits of the product, as evidenced by numerous positive reviews.
Types of fastening
When choosing a fiber nozzle, keep in mind that it must fit the holder. Therefore, it is preferable to buy a mop of the same company as the flounder for mopping. If the manufacturer is unknown or it is difficult to find the product, it is necessary to take into account the type of attachment of the mop to the stick. They are divided into 3 types:
- The plastic holder with a clip includes a quick-clip clip-latch for holding the stitched portion of the rope mop.
- Rope mops are often fixed with a threaded connection.
- The holder with latches on extreme parts of mops. In the center of the flounder there is a button needed to resize the stick. Using this function, the product can easily be lowered into a bucket, moistened and squeezed.
A universal fastener is a fiber nozzle of the same manufacturer as the flounder. Some holders create for a specific need. For example, in the holder of a mop for cleaning in hard-to-reach places, there may be a bending of the stick at an angle of 90 degrees, so it requires special fastening. Multifunctional flat mops-flounders are in demand, which make it easier to clean.
Flounder or steam mop?
Due to the ease of cleaning, many housewives choose a flounder. Compared to steam mops and washing vacuums, they have an affordable cost. In addition, devices that do not take up much space are the most functional.
Another advantage is the ability to clean the floor. The device spends water economically. Therefore, such products are better than steam mops, because the latter spray hot water and do not completely eliminate it. Steam mops are also being improved, they include many necessary functions. For example, Mop X5 cleans and disinfects the surface with steam.
How to wash the floors?
How to clean, so that the house is clean? There are some recommendations to make work easier:
- All excess should be removed from the floor, roll up the carpet.
- Then you should sweep the surface, removing the main dirt and dust.
- It is necessary to wash the floors from the far section of the room. First, they treat the surface under the walls, eventually moving to the center, and then to the door.
- Rinse the rag as often as possible. Wipe the floor preferably several times.
Thus, mopping is a must during cleaning. It is performed much more conveniently if a mop-flounder will be used. With her, everyone will like the cleaning result.
