An absorbent mop is a self-cleaning cleaning tool primarily designed for hard surfaces such as wood floors, marble, and tiles. Its cleaning head typically uses polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) sponge or microfiber woven fabric, which is absorbent and achieves its self-cleaning function through mechanisms such as pulling the rod to squeeze or wringing water out of the surface. It also features a retractable metal rod and a 360-degree rotating mop head to accommodate cleaning between furniture crevices.
A sponge mop works by using the pulling force to squeeze out the water contained in the sponge head, allowing the moistened sponge head to come into contact with the floor and remove dirt. If the sponge head is not used for a long time, it will dry and harden, which prevents bacterial growth. Before reuse, soak the dry sponge head in water for about two minutes to soften it and restore its elasticity. A flat mop works by using a squeezing frame and squeezer on the mop bucket to create a squeezing opening. The flat mop head is inserted into this opening and moves back and forth, squeezing the surface to dry and clean it. The mop bucket is designed with a squeezing area and a water holding area. The squeezed water can be blocked by the water guiding mechanism and flow back, forming a top-down spray on the wiped object to enhance the cleaning effect.
