A mop is a cleaning tool used to wipe and clean floors. It typically consists of a long handle attached to a head made of absorbent materials like cotton or microfiber. Mops are designed to soak up liquids and dirt, making them effective for maintaining cleanliness in homes, offices, and other spaces. There are various types of mops, including string mops, sponge mops, and flat mops. Each type serves a different purpose and can be used with various cleaning solutions. Mops are essential for keeping surfaces hygienic and are often used in conjunction with buckets for rinsing and wringing out excess water.
