How to choose a floor mop and the best models on the market

Let's face it: washing floors isn't exactly the hobby of the century. But with the right tools, it can be almost satisfying. The floor mop strikes the perfect balance between practicality and deep cleaning, and has become a must-have for anyone who wants a spotless environment... without spending hours on their knees with a mop.

But how do you choose the right floor mop? And what are the top models on the market today? We'll tell you all about it—no hassle, just helpful tips and a few insider tips.

How to choose the perfect floor mop

• Floors: What type of floor do you have? Stoneware, parquet, terracotta, marble? If you have delicate surfaces, choose mops with soft microfiber pads or moisture-control features. For more resistant floors, you can go with more powerful models or steam cleaners.
• Manual or electric? The former costs less, is lightweight, and perfect for quick daily cleaning. The latter vacuums and washes at the same time, sanitizes with steam, and often dries quickly. Ideal for those short on time and wanting maximum performance with minimal effort.
• Tank capacity and battery life: If you opt for an electric model, check the tank capacity (larger = fewer refills). If it's battery-powered, look at the battery life (at least 30–40 minutes for an average apartment).
• Handling and weight: A broom should be slim, lightweight, and agile. If it's too heavy or has a short cord, you risk abandoning it in the closet after the first use. Look for models with flexible joints, an ergonomic handle, and good balance;
• Ease of cleaning - The paradox: who cleans the broom that cleans? Choose a model whose components (pads, tanks, filters) are easy to disassemble and wash. Avoid bacteria, odors, and wasted time.
