| A '''wet mop''' or '''moist mop''' is, in professional cleaning, used as in the second step in the cleaning of a surface. The wet mop is swept over the surface to dissolve and absorb fat, mud and dried-in liquid contaminations. Professional wet mops consist of a flat sheet of microfiber textile or a sheet with a surface of looped yarn (which might contain microfiber as well), usually about {{Convert|15|cm|0|abbr = on}} wide, and come in various lengths (usually {{Convert|30|-|100|cm|0|abbr = on}}). | |||

| ===Mops for pre-moisting=== | |||
| ] | |||
| Professional flat mops are made for pre-moisting. Mops are pre-impregnated with an ideal amount of water mixed with an appropriate amount of detergent. This means that the cleaner does not need to bring any additional water on the cleaning trolley. This ideal amount is often recommended by the manufacturer in terms of weight percent of water per weight of the dry mop, for example "175% water per weight of the dry mop". | |||
| Navigation menu | |||
| Mops for pre-moisting are flat sheets of (often ]) textile, usually about {{Convert|15|cm|0|abbr = on}} wide, and comes in variable lengths (usually {{Convert|30|-|100|cm|0|abbr = on}}). Mops for pre-moisting are fastened on a handle with a flat pad mount with the aid of velcro or a pouch on the mop, in which the pad on the handle fits. | |||

| Pre-moisting can be done with a special washing machine or by hand by simply folding and packing the mops tight in a container and pouring the measured amount of water over them. The mops will then need about 5–10 minutes for the liquid to distribute evenly in their tissue before use. This offers some advantages: | |||

| * The cleaner does not have to have a bucket of water with him/her when sweeping the floor, but simply carries an appropriate number of mops. This means the weight of the equipment can often be kept lower. | |||
| * The risk of over-wetting the floor and leave puddles is eliminated if the wetness is ideal. | |||
| ===Hot mop=== | |||
| The ''hot mop'' (or steam mop) follows a similar concept to a ]. After adding water, the water is heated to make it exude on top of a floor, which can then be cleaned without using a cleaning solvent. These can work best on surfaces where a regular mop would also be used, such as bare floors, hearths, and laminate. | |||
| ===Syntho-mop=== | |||
| A ''syntho-mop'' such as the ] is not considered a mop, because even though it performs the same function as a traditional mop, the lack of hand operation makes it ineligible for status as a mop. | |||
| ===Microfiber mop=== | |||
| Microfiber mops are constructed of a blend of polyester and polyamide fibers which are “split” and formed into a single fiber. This blend consists of 70-90% polyester that serves as the scrubbing and cleaning fiber and 10–30% polyamide which performs as the holding and quick drying fiber. This blend is usually expressed as a ratio on the label of the mop, e.g. an 80% polyester and 20% polyamide blend would be labeled as "80/20". | |||
| ==Handles and mounting== | |||
| A mop handle consists of a long piece of wood or aluminium tubing fitted with a specific mount for the mop. The handle can be attached for mounting a mop on it by means of: | |||
| * clamp | |||
| * hanger (with strands doubled over the hanger) | |||
| * plastic claws (attached to the strands) | |||
| * pouch (as with many professional flat mops) | |||
| * screwing (as with the classic yarn mop) | |||
| * velcro (as with many professional flat mops) | |||

| ==Traditional construction== | |||
| In her book ''Maggie's Memories'' Margaret Wadkin (late of ], near ] in England) describes the use of a mop nail for constructing homemade mops from old pieces of cloth during her village childhood in the early 20th century. "The mop nail was made by the blacksmith (if there are any still around, they will be antiques). This nail was several inches long with a point at the end and a flat head a couple or so inches wide. We would stand the nail on its flat head, cut pieces of old material into squares and push over the sharp end of the nail and when enough fix a piece of leather, then push the sharp point into the mop stale or handle. There was a knack of twisting these mops over the wrist to swish away surplus water, every woman could use one of these useful mops."<ref>''Maggie's Memories: Childhood Memories of Hickling''. Privately published memoirs.</ref> | |||
| ==In culture== | |||
| At the 1968 ], protestors symbolically threw a number of feminine products into a "Freedom Trash Can", which included mops.<ref name=Greenfieldboyce>{{cite web|last=Greenfieldboyce|first=Nell|title=Pageant Protest Sparked Bra-Burning Myth|url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94240375&from=mobile|publisher=]|access-date=6 February 2012|date=September 5, 2008}}</ref> | |||
