Best Mop for Heavy Duty Jobs

Libman Tornado Mop
Many cleaning pros swear by cotton string mops for making short work of big spills, but then they have those handy yet clunky wringer pails to roll behind them. Who wants to unknot wet tangles and wring a dirty mop head by hand? The Tornado packs the power of traditional yarn-head mops, but its built-in wringer pulls the strings extra tight and twists them a full 360 degrees, meaning less excess gray water to muddy the task — and less to drip all over your tootsies. It also spreads water evenly, so there are no puddles or dry spots. Three heavy-duty cloth bands stitched across the yarn bundle keep strands tangle-free.
Debra Johnson from Merry Maids says: “This did a great job of scrubbing with minimal effort. The wringer worked well and really got the water out.”
To buy: $13, Target, 800-800-8800 for store locations.
