One-handed floor mop ?

Scooby222

Does anyone know of a good floor mop to use one-handed, while also being unable to bend down? My kitchen floor is filthy, it's vinyl and I keep thinking that it should be possible to find a way for me to clean it.

Do those basic spray mop things work? They look like a possibility, but I don't know how heavy they are with the water bottle etc. It's only a small kitchen, so I should be able to manage a lightweight mop.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

What about a steam mop?

I don't own one personally but looking into it.

I've had a quick look online and I've found a flat mop with the spray feature that weighs 0.8kg before adding liquids, is that the kind of thing you'd be after?

I had googled "mop that could be used one handed" and Google came up with a Battery-powered road sweeper. I think they may be mocking me somewhat. 😆

😂 this could be my new vocation! 😂

This Sounds like the sort of thing, and about the right weight!

Ok then @Scooby222 I of course can't vouch for the product, but it's a "Lakeland double-sided floor mop"

Though I do think the road sweeper would be a lot more stylish. 😉

I don't really want an electric one as that will probably be heavier and I'd have problems with a cable. Also steam is hot, and I don’t fancy staggering around trying to aim that one-handed! Thank you for the suggestion though, 😊

I like Lakeland stuff, it's good quality, I'll have a look at that thank you.

Although I might look very fetching in a road sweeper high viz jacket... 😂

I think you should go for it @Scooby222 you may have found your new calling! 😁

I use a spray mop, the one made by Koh. It’s very good and you replace and wash the mop cloth each time. Koh is very good, but you’ll probably find a cheaper on if you look

I brought a spray mop from b and m. You can put whatever cleaning liquid you want in it. It’s light weight and can be operated one handed. It’s got quite a long handle. I have mobility issues so sit on a chair to clean kitchen and bathroom floors. You can buy spare cloths for them too. Cost about £8.

I received a free Flash floor mop several years ago as a product test.

I was so impressed I've kept it.

I first use one side of the cloth, then turn it around to get a little more cleaning power out of it.

They weigh very little.

I find Savers cheaper for refill cloths.

I bought one of these and used it for the first time today. It is fantastic! So lightweight and easy to use, just what I wanted. Thank you again Kimi87. 👍 😃

I'm in the same boat & I use the Flash speed mop & as @Kimi87 also mentioned, I use the Savers or B&M cloths with it. If you do use them, turn mop head vertically & poke the cloth in the corners, as it's easier.
