Description
This mop and bucket set pairs a 360 degree rotating flat mop with a two-sided wash and rinse bucket, and includes 10 microfibre pads and a scraper, priced at $55.99 with fast Australian shipping. The mop measures roughly 33 x 12 x 128cm, the bucket 20 x 17 x 37cm, and the build is ABS with fibre and stainless steel.
The two-sided bucket is what changes the job. With one bucket of water, the first ten minutes are cleaning and everything after that is redistributing dirty water across the floor - which is why floors mopped with a single bucket dry streaky and smell faintly of the last mop. Separating wash from rinse means the dirt comes off the pad into water you are not putting back on the floor. It is the same principle professional cleaners have used for decades, in a domestic-sized version.

Why Choose This Mop and Bucket Set
-
Wash and rinse are separate - dirt leaves the pad into water that never goes back on the floor
-
Ten pads included - a fresh pad per room, all washed together afterwards
-
360 degree head - it turns flat under furniture and into corners without lifting the handle
-
Flat head reaches under things - the gap under a kickboard or a bed that a round mop cannot enter
-
Stands up to dry - the bucket lets the mop stand ventilated, which is what stops the smell
What Does a Two Sided Mop Bucket Actually Do?
It splits one job into two. One side holds clean water and your floor cleaner; the other is a rinse chamber with a textured or ridged base. The sequence is dip in the clean side, mop, then push the dirty pad into the rinse side and work it against the base so the grit and grime come out into that water, then back to the clean side. The clean water stays clean for far longer than it would in a single bucket, so the last room gets mopped nearly as well as the first. It also means you change the water less often, not more.
Is a Flat Mop Better Than a String Mop?
For hard floors in a house, generally yes. A flat microfibre head holds far less water, so floors dry in a couple of minutes rather than fifteen - which matters a great deal on timber and laminate, where standing water is what causes swelling at the joins. It also presses evenly across its whole face, so it lifts fine dust and residue rather than pushing it around. Where a string mop still wins is a large volume of spilled liquid and rough or uneven surfaces like unsealed concrete, where a flat head cannot make contact.
How Do You Wash Microfibre Mop Pads?
Machine wash warm with detergent, no fabric softener, and hang them to dry. This is the same rule as microfibre cloths and it matters for the same reason - softener coats the fibres in a waxy film and a hot dryer melts the fine filaments together, and either one turns a working pad into a piece of cloth that pushes dirt around. Wash them separately from towels and cotton, because microfibre pulls lint out of everything. With ten pads in the box you can simply use fresh ones and wash a full load at once.
Buyers are typically households with a lot of hard flooring, people with timber or laminate who need a mop that does not leave water sitting, families where the floors get done often, and anyone replacing a string mop and bucket that has started to smell.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it spin dry like a round spin mop?
It is a flat mop with a rinse chamber rather than a centrifugal spin basket. You wring by working the pad against the rinse side and pressing out the water.
Can I use it on timber floors?
Yes - the supplier lists timber, tile and marble. Use the mop damp rather than wet and follow your floor finish manufacturer's advice.
What is the scraper for?
Lifting dried-on marks off the floor before you mop, so the pad is not trying to do a job it cannot.
How much water does the bucket hold?
The supplier states dimensions rather than a litre capacity, so we quote the 20 x 17 x 37cm size instead of a volume.
Are replacement pads available?
Ten are included, which is a long time between reorders. Contact us when you are running low.
Does the handle come apart for storage?
The handle is a pole assembly. The images show how it is supplied.
Can I put floor cleaner in the bucket?
Yes, in the wash side. Keep the rinse side as plain water so it can actually rinse.
Fast Australian Shipping
We ship from within Australia to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin, plus regional addresses nationwide, with tracking on every order.
Wet floors are a slip hazard - keep people and pets clear until dry. Use the mop damp rather than saturated on timber and laminate, and follow your flooring manufacturer's cleaning guidance. Do not tumble dry the microfibre pads or use fabric softener, as both permanently reduce their performance. Dimensions are supplier-stated and may vary slightly; the supplier does not publish a bucket capacity in litres.
