Best String Mops of 2025

"I bought this for the store where I work, as we needed a replacement for our broken mop. It has performed amazingly so far, even after 30 uses in just 4 days. I suspect the clamp may weaken eventually, but for now, it's doing a great job."

"After receiving the mop, I found the handle easy to assemble. The mop head is large and long, making clean-up quicker. I noticed some reviews said the handle was too short, but it's adjustable if you watch the instructional videos. Overall, I would definitely buy this again!"

"While the mop itself is quite good, I did notice that the handle feels a bit weaker than I expected for its weight. That said, it still gets the job done effectively and I've been happy with its performance."

“I needed a smaller mop to fit under my bathroom sink, and this one is lightweight and perfect for small spaces. The short handle works well in tight areas, making it easier to use. I appreciate how manageable it is, unlike my other mop that’s hard to squeeze. I just wish there was a hole at the top of the handle for hanging to dry.”

“I love that the handle is shorter, which is ideal for my small bathroom. The 11oz. cotton mop head is very absorbent. I rinse it out in the shower after using it with my Microban cleaner. It works well, and I like the scent of Microban. After cleaning, I just stand it up against the garage wall to dry.”

“I find the mop to be a bit too large for me to wring out effectively, but I can manage. I would love to see this mop in a smaller size in the future.”

“This mop is perfect for my RV! It handles the small spaces like no other. Thank you for creating it.”

“I find uses for this little mop all the time. It's small, light, and super easy to wring out by hand. I originally bought it for the bathroom floor, but now I also use it in the shower stalls and tubs. The thick cotton head is sturdy on the wooden handle. It would be a nice mop for kids to learn chores.”

“I love this mop! It's small but easy to wring out, gets into areas that larger mops cannot reach, and it’s not heavy. I liked it so much that I ordered another one.”

"This mop is very effective on my wooden floor, though I did get the wrong bucket for squeezing out the water."

"I found the quality to be very poor; the strings started falling out on the first use. I wouldn't recommend this mop."

"I appreciated the easy assembly of the handle and how easy the mop head is to use. My only slight complaint is that the mop head is a bit small, but it's perfect for what I need it for."

"This mop does exactly what I need it to do. The quality has been good so far. I use it for light mopping jobs, not heavy-duty work. It's simple to assemble and compact, perfect for my apartment. It takes a bit longer to dry out, but that's not a deal breaker. For the price and convenience, I recommend it!"

"I really appreciate how light and small this mop is for cleaning my home! However, the handle has been a bit tricky, wanting to come out of the threaded hole. It's a bit annoying, but overall, it's okay."

"I was surprised by how much dirt this string mop picked up compared to my microfiber mop. The dirty water I collected was shocking! It was easy to put together, though one section was a bit temperamental. Overall, it feels sturdy and I hope it lasts a long time!"

“As a senior citizen, I find this lightweight mop perfect for my needs. However, I started using it when it was $9.99, and now it’s $30.00, which feels excessive for something that doesn’t last long.”

“I really appreciate being able to purchase a good cotton string mop. It cleans effectively and dries quickly. This mop is very well made, easy to use, and I can even replace the head. If I could, I'd give it ten stars for its simplicity and effectiveness.”

“I absolutely love this mop! It fits perfectly in my small hands and is easy to wring out. The handle height is just right, not too tall, making it very comfortable to use.”

“I absolutely love this mop. It’s made from good quality materials and is not flimsy at all. I would definitely buy it again.”

“I found the handle to be fantastic. The way it extends is great, and it's absolutely worth the price! Just make sure to order extra mop heads, as they fit perfectly with the claw grip.”

“Overall, it's a great mop for the price. I was looking for something heavy-duty, and this one really delivers. It even comes with an extra mop head, which is a nice touch.”

"I found this mop to be lightweight and very efficient. It reminds me of the mops we used in the Navy. The price is reasonable, and it’s easy to handle. However, the handle is a bit thin and tends to come unscrewed while I’m mopping, but I can easily substitute it with a sturdier wood handle."

"After assembling this mop, I used it to clean my floor. It’s hard to rate it with a full five stars after just one use, but so far, it did the job well and remained intact!"

"Finally, I found a mop that works well and is easy to clean. This string mop is the only one I’ve liked in the last 30 years. The strings come off easily for washing, and I just hang them to dry. It’s thick and very effective, although I still have to get down for the corners, which is expected."

"I found this mop to be a great purchase for the price. It works well for my heavily soiled floors and is easy on my joints. I appreciate how it locks in place while wringing, making it much easier to use compared to others I've tried. Definitely worth the $12!"

"I was a bit disappointed when I realized that the mop isn’t truly self-wringing as I expected. Instead, I have to twist it by hand. However, I do like the twist locking mechanism, which keeps it secure while using it."

"While the mop is affordable and easy to put together, I did have some issues with the weak handle bending. The self-squeeze feature didn’t work as well as I hoped, making it a bit of a hassle to use."

"After trying multiple mops that didn't work, I finally went old school and found this mop to be perfection. Forget the fancy gadgets; this one gets the job done!"

"I was pleasantly surprised when I unboxed this mop. It took me just two minutes to assemble, and it works wonderfully. I love that I can toss the mop head in the washer!"

"I’m really happy I chose this mop over others. It's simple to use and meets my needs well. Having tried many options, I can confidently say I will be purchasing this mop again."
