What qualities make the best vinyl floor mop? Find out how to choose one for yourself

Nowadays you can see many advertisements claiming they have the best mop for Vinyl plank floors, but there is not a lot of research that can show you what is a good mop for vinyl floors. Instead of throwing your money out the window by trying several mops to see which one can help you clean vinyl floors better, why not take the time to read this case study to understand what a quality vinyl floor mop looks like?

1. The first quality: durability

No one wants a perfectly good mop that will break after a few usages. A quality vinyl floor mop is made of sturdy material, even better if the parts are replaceable. You’ll need a handle strong enough to not bend when you apply force while scrubbing, and not break after impact. A washable and replaceable mophead can save you a lot of maintenance money along the way. It’s best to check the warranty policy to see how long you can use the mop.

2. The second quality: weight

We usually think that a lightweight mop is a good mop, especially when we have to use it daily for cleaning. But that is not true! Powered mops are usually heavier since they have motors and run by electricity, but that doesn’t make them less quality than other mops. Since the machine will do all the work, we don’t have to use force when cleaning vinyl floors with these powered mops which makes weight not the problem anymore. A mop that is too lightweight can be difficult to control and you have to use more force when scrubbing than a little heavier mop.

3. The third quality: maneuvering

A good Vinyl floor mop is easy to maneuver. It should feel comfortable in your hands and easy to grip, has the right height so you don’t have to bend, and has a flexible swivel head to go around the furniture. It’s important to test-run the mop before buying so we recommend you go to a store to try it out physically or choose a brand that allows you to test the product before deciding to buy it. You should test these motions: going back and forth, twisting and turning, scrubbing, and reaching under furniture. Try out yourself, not just watch the seller do it. You can even switch between models for easy comparison.

4. The final quality: versatility

It would be better if the mop can do more than just clean the vinyl floors. Since your house has other floor types, if you choose a mop that can cover those floors too it would save a lot of money and storage space. It doesn’t have to be super effective on all the floor types but should be decent enough for daily cleaning. But remember, a mop is not made for carpet so you have to find a carpet cleaning machine like a vacuum cleaner or a carpet steam cleaner.

Now, do you have a clear image of what the best mop for Vinyl floors should be like? One final thing we would like to mention is sticking to your budget. Knowing how much you’re willing to pay for a mop can help you eliminate features that you don’t actually need and get you on the right track to pick out the most suitable mop for your vinyl floor.
