Oxo Good Grips Roller Mop

Oxo’s nonslip, padded wringer lever made it “comfortable and really easy to open and close,” unlike other mops, which took lots of elbow grease to squeeze out, said one tester. The 12-inch sponge — two inches longer than many tested and wider than most — scored high marks for covering lots of surface area and soaking up all the water it put down. (The large size also means you’ll need a bucket at least 12 inches in diameter.) Built-in textured scrubbing strips made dissolving sticky messes and spots easier with just a little extra pressure.
Debra Johnson from Merry Maids says: “It picked up grit fast, making the sponge dirty quickly — but it rinsed easily, too.”
