- Sponge mop head – uses a sponge to absorb liquids quickly.
- Flat mop pad – rectangular microfiber pad used with flat mops.
Common Materials
- Cotton – soft and absorbent
- Microfiber – picks up fine dust and bacteria well
- Synthetic fibers – durable and quick-drying
Uses
- Cleaning tile, wood, laminate, and vinyl floors

Care Tips
