Choosing The Right Mop Refills

• Material type: Cotton offers excellent absorbency for general cleaning, microfibre provides superior dirt-trapping capabilities, whilst foam pads excel at reaching corners and edges
• Floor surface: Consider whether you're cleaning tiles, laminate, vinyl or sealed wood, as different materials suit different surfaces

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace mop refills?

Replace mop refills when they show visible wear, reduced absorbency or persistent odours despite washing. In commercial settings, this typically means replacement every 4-8 weeks depending on usage intensity, whilst domestic users may extend this to 2-3 months with proper care and regular washing.

Can mop refills be washed and reused?

Most quality mop refills, particularly cotton and microfibre varieties, can be machine washed at temperatures up to 60°C multiple times before requiring replacement. Always check manufacturer guidance, and avoid fabric softeners which can reduce absorbency and cleaning effectiveness.

Are microfibre or cotton mop refills better?

Microfibre refills excel at trapping dirt, dust and bacteria with minimal water and cleaning solution, making them ideal for sealed floors and frequent cleaning. Cotton refills offer exceptional absorbency for wet mopping and general floor washing. Combination cotton and microfibre refills provide balanced performance suitable for most applications.
