Vileda Turbo Microfibre Mop and Bucket Set, Spin Mop for Cleaning Floors, Set of 1x Mop and 1x Bucket,Grey/Red,48.5 x 27.5 x 28 cm

Product Information

The mop felt comfortable to hold and with a telescopic handle that can be adjusted between 85 and 123 cm, this makes mopping much kinder on the back. The flexible swivel joint allows the Looper to be moved underneath low-lying furniture, such as tables and chairs, meaning there is nowhere for dirt and grime to hide. The microfibre head on the Vileda Easy Wring and Clean Turbo Mop is really easy to wring out and the clever foot pedal design on the bucket means you can squeeze the mop head as dry as you like with hardly any effort. Designed from plastic this mop bucket features an advanced pedal operated wringing mechanism alongside a quality 100% microfibre mop head for a durable and hard wearing finish. Of all the mops I have tested to date, the Vileda Turbo Microfibre Mop and Bucket Set produced the best clean.

The Vileda Looper is a lightweight, cordless, electric spray mop that is perfect for daily mopping and spot-cleaning spillages as they happen. However, Vileda says the Turbo mop removes over 99% of bacteria with just water, thanks to the micofibres in the mop pad.Reviews are very positive, with many saying that they will never go back to a traditional mop and bucket set again. I was sceptical at first about exactly how much water the wringer would remove and whether it would be able to remove enough to allow the mop to be used on laminate flooring. Traditional cotton mops and clunky steel buckets are a thing of the past - now there are all manner of mop heads to choose from including quick-drying microfibre options and easy-squeeze sponges, and even buckets with turbo wringers to make light work of floor scrubbing. Sponges are natural water retainers so you'll find that this mop won’t release excess liquid onto the floor as you mop.

It’s on the heavy side and certainly isn’t built for stairs, but if you're looking for a quality all-rounder for your carpets and hard floors, then the Mach V1 Ultra ticks a lot of boxes. Unlike previous Vileda products that I’ve tested, which have proved to be a little on the stiff side when setting up or using for the first time, the wringer was firing on all cylinders from the very first pump. After giving the floor the once over with my best vacuum cleaner to remove any debris, I filled the bucket with water and my floorcare product of choice, as per the manufacturer’s instructions. It’ll clean everything from solid wood, laminate, parquet, tiles, ceramic and vinyl without needing to use additional cleaning products. Mumsnet has been helping parents make their lives easier since 2000 and, in those years, we’ve seen, tried and reviewed thousands of products.The Powermop pads (included in the starter pack) use “absorb and lock” technology which Flash claims will remove the dirty solution as well as grease and grime, leaving floors shiny, clean and dry. And if that's not enough to tempt you into giving the bucket the boot, the microfibre floor pad can be shoved into the washing machine, pegged out on a rotary airer and slipped back on the floor head ready to go again before you can say hooray Henry. You’ll want to keep wood floors fairly dry during the cleaning process so a mop head made from a material like microfibre is a safe choice. Although the tiled flooring in my utility room is past its best, this mop and bucket combo left it looking considerably cleaner than the spray mops that I had previously tested.

Handles: Look for a hard-wearing handle to make sure it’ll stand the test of time and think about adjustable handles if there will be several people of different sizes using it within your household. It has a generous extendable handle and a versatile microfibre mop head designed to get into the tightest of nooks and crannies.

This particular model from Shark features a variety of steam settings to tackle different levels of dirt, including a handy steam blaster mode for a concentrated blast of steam to get rid of stubborn stains. Armed with that long list, we turned to the Mumsnet Talk boards and trawled the threads for comments, both positive and negative, from real Mumsnetters who had bought floor mops and put them through their paces over the years. So if you’re the type of person that struggles with backache from hunching over a short mop handle, then this is a fantastic option. From this analysis we were able to ensure the floor mops we picked were the best of the best, and weigh up the merits and disadvantages of each one.

Using the wrong mop or solution can damage your floor, especially wood or floor tiles that haven’t been sealed. It's suitable for daily mopping and hard floor washing; the steam mode is recommended for cleaning sealed hard floors, including sealed hardwood, marble, tile, and stone floors.The bucket comes with the foot pedal and wringer already installed, with no further assembly required.
