FAQ
Are spin mops better than flat microfibre mops?+
Spin mops like the Vileda EasyWring are great for larger floor areas since the foot pedal wrings the head without you touching dirty water. Flat microfibre mops such as the OXO Good Grips are lighter and better for getting into corners and under low furniture.
Do I still need a dustpan and brush if I have a vacuum?+
Yes — a dustpan and brush set is quicker for spot-sweeping small spills like broken crockery or crumbs than getting a vacuum out, and the rubber-lipped pans on sets like the Addis Deluxe seal well against hard floors and tiles.
