What is a traditional joke?
Simple construction
The traditional mop, as we all know it, consists of a simple wooden or metal handle with cotton strings. This type of mop has been used for years and is loved for its simplicity. You dip the mop in a bucket of water, mop your floor, and wring out the mop by hand. It works, but it can be quite tiring.
Cotton strands
These mops are designed to absorb a lot of water thanks to the cotton strands. This makes them useful for cleaning large surfaces in the kitchen or bathroom, for example. They are ideal for absorbing liquids, but can often be a bit messy due to the amount of water left behind.
Manual operation
The biggest disadvantage of a traditional mop is that you have to wring it out manually. This requires a lot of effort, especially if you have to mop large areas. For people who clean regularly, this can be hard on the back and wrists.
What is a mop set?
Advanced mop system
A mop set, like the Turbo Twin Mop Set from iZi-Clean, is a modern alternative designed for convenience and efficiency. Such a set consists of a microfiber mop, a bucket with wringing system, and with an adjustable handle. With this system cleaning becomes not only easier, but also faster.
Microfiber mop
A mop set is equipped with a microfiber mop, which is much more effective than a cotton mop. Microfiber absorbs dirt and water without leaving streaks, which makes your floor extra clean. Because microfiber uses little water, the floor also dries faster.
Wring it yourself
The biggest difference with a traditional mop is the built-in wringing system. You no longer have to wring the mop by hand – you can easily spin it in the bucket. This reduces physical strain and makes mopping a lot more pleasant.
Differences in ease of use when mopping
Traditional joke: more effort required
With a traditional mop, you have to bend down to wring out the mop and make the same motion over and over to get your floor clean. This not only takes time, but can also be hard on your back and joints, especially with large surfaces.
Mop set: ergonomic and time-saving
The iZi-Click Mop offers an innovative cleaning experience that combines comfort and efficiency. This mop is equipped with a 150 cm telescopic handle, which prevents back pain by always working at the right height. The click function ensures that the microfiber cloth is firmly attached, which allows for effortless and thorough cleaning. Whether you want to remove dust or perform a wet mop, the iZi-Click Mop can do both, thanks to the versatile cloths that can be used both dry and wet.
The included comb allows you to easily remove hair and dust, making vacuuming unnecessary in some cases and saving you a lot of time.
In addition to the standard microfiber cloths, various optional cloths can be attached to the iZi-Click Mop, such as the Izi-Dry Towel S and the iZi-Clean Wonder Cloths. These cloths are specially designed to make the mop even more efficient and versatile. Whether you want to dry clean or wet mop, this mop can be adapted to different cleaning tasks and surfaces, including floors, tall cabinets and glass walls. This makes it perfect for cleaning the entire house and ensures maximum time saving and thorough cleaning.
With the mop's durable materials, which can withstand regular washing, and the option to pay afterwards via Klarna, you not only have convenience, but also extra security with your purchase.
Less water, less spillage
A mop set has an additional advantage: you need less water to clean your floor. The microfiber mop efficiently absorbs dirt and moisture, leaving less water on the floor. This means that the floor dries faster and you have less chance of slippery floors.
Benefits of a mop set for different floor types
Microfiber mops are suitable for almost any floor type, such as tiles, laminate, wood, and vinyl. The Turbo Twin Mop Set ensures that you clean streak-free without damaging your floor. This is especially important for sensitive floors, such as wooden floors, which cannot tolerate too much water.
Reach corners more easily with a mop set
Modern mop sets are much more flexible than traditional mops. The flat mop head makes it easier to reach corners and clean under furniture. This makes it ideal for difficult places that a traditional mop cannot reach.
Efficiency when cleaning large surfaces
A mop set is not only handy for small spaces, but also very efficient for large surfaces. Because the microfiber mop absorbs more dirt and water, you can clean large parts of your floor at once without having to re-wet the mop.
Different mop heads for different cleaning tasks
Flat mops
Round mops are ideal for large, smooth floors. They make even contact with the surface and remove dirt efficiently.
Round mop heads
Flat mop is more flexible and can be used on almost all floor types, which is useful for cleaning corners or around furniture. Check out here our complete mop set with a round and flat mop.
Microfiber mops
Microfiber mops are gentle on your floor, but powerful enough to remove dirt and grease. They are a perfect combination of efficiency and gentleness, making them safe for sensitive surfaces.
Sustainability and maintenance
Traditional mop: replace more often
Traditional mops are cheaper, but they need to be replaced often because the cotton strings wear out quickly. In addition, they retain dirt over time, which reduces the hygiene of your cleaning.
Mopset: long-term use and less replacement
A mop set, like the Turbo Twin Mop Set, lasts much longer. Microfiber mops can be washed multiple times without losing their effectiveness, making them a more sustainable option.
Less cleaning products needed
With a mop set, you often only use water to clean your floor, while a traditional mop usually requires additional cleaning agents. This makes mop sets not only more environmentally friendly, but also cost-effective.
