How to choose the best mop for your vinyl plank floor - the ultimate buying guide
People are going on and on about their mops being the Best mop for Vinyl plank floors, but not many people actually talk about how to choose a good mop. What aspect you should look out for in a mop to make sure it can help you clean the vinyl floor best? Take a look at this post to see how you can choose the perfect mop yourself.
Know your needs
Some people want to dedicate their time to cleaning, while others don’t have much time to take care of their houses every day. Based on your personal situation, you will have very different needs for the mop compared to others. Make sure you have a list of things you want your mop to do. For example, some prefer not to touch the cleaning pads when changing them, while others don’t mind washing the pads with their hands. Knowing your needs also helps you set up a budget to select models easier later.
Go for the right material
Whether you will use the mop daily or several times a month, it’s best to choose a resilient one. Using the mop daily means it may bump into stuff frequently. Not using the mop regularly means the material must not wear off easily so that it won’t break the next time you pick the mop up. The handle needs to be sturdy so it can stand the force you put on and stay intact after impact. Another thing you should consider is the material of the cleaning pads. Since vinyl plank floors are very sensitive to water, you need to choose a good water-absorb material like microfiber to protect your floor. Make sure the cleaning pads and other attachments like scrubbers are tough enough to remove debris, while still soft enough to not leave scratch marks on your beautiful vinyl floor.
Easy maneuvering is the key to success (in cleaning, of course)
If there are other people helping you with the cleaning task, like your children or your parents, make sure you choose a Vinyl floor mop that is height adjustable. While easy maneuvering helps you clean the floor easier, some elderly and children are not capable of controlling a too flexible mop head. Choose a mop that you feel comfortable gliding across the floor and get to the corners, or else you will lose so much time trying to steer the mop to places you want.
Choose the appropriate wringing system
Using a mop means you need to squeeze excess water off constantly during the cleaning session. If you choose a wringing system that requires a lot of elbow grease, then you won’t have enough strength to clean for a long time. The elderly and children are not strong enough for all the wringing systems so you need to find one that is suitable for all the family members.
And there you have it! All the things you should consider when choosing the Best mop for Vinyl floors. One final warning: although a steam mop seems cool and efficient, this type of mop is not a vinyl floor’s best friend. So under no circumstances, you should get a steam mop to clean your vinyl plank floor if you don’t want to ruin it. I hope now you can choose the perfect mop for your vinyl floor by following this guide.
