They absorb lots of water, can trap bacteria, and aren't ideal for tight corners or quick cleaning.

What Is a Flat Mop?

Flat mops are light, hygienic, and easy to use. With washable pads and no bucket needed, they’re perfect for fast, mess-free cleaning in small spaces.

Flat vs. Traditional Mop

Flat mops dry faster, fit tight spaces, and stay cleaner. Traditional mops may scrub harder but are harder to store and maintain.
