Lets Talk Mops

What better topic of conversation than that of a mop and its fellow wringer? We do discuss the most interesting subjects here at the Office 365 blog spot; staples, paper sizes, pencil shades, envelopes – such fascinating stuff… don’t you think? Well today the mop and bucket are under the spotlight as we determine which one is best for you. Now rather than filling up all our buckets with hot soapy water and actually putting the mops and wringers to the test, we thought we’d rely on customer reviews and pass on their recommendations, after all, the customer knows best. Oh how wonderful it is to use that expression to our advantage!
The test is between two brands, Rubbermaid and Charles Bentley. First off, I’d like to point out that I can personally recommend the Charles Bentley brand, as my own mop, bucket and wringer are made by the brand, although mine is an old fashioned cream metal variety, but that’s beside’s the point. The mop cleans, as it should, and the bucket holds water as it should and the winger squeezes off excess water as it should, job done, boxes ticked. It’s all pretty standard really. So we move onto customer responses and it seems we have had far more purchases of the Charles Bentley variety. Is this telling us something, or is it just that we have a larger variety within this range? Well considering there is only one option within the Rubbermaid brand, and this is a rather expensive wheeled variety, I think that answers the question!
The Rubbermaid Combo Bravo Mop Bucket and Wringer does have its place. This is a pretty decent bit of kit which would suit 
larger premises very well! Although not necessary in the home, this set would be ideal for hotels, large restaurants and so on. The wringer is more efficient than the standard variety which is great for speed and the bucket size means that you will not need to refresh the water constantly. Being wheeled it is easy to manoeuvre around reducing bending and carrying. For £87.37, it’s not cheap, but it is good!
Our Charles Bentley variety is available in both wheeled and standard options in a variety of colours. Their wheeled selection come in red, blue, green and yellow colours and are available for just £41.54, where as the non wheeled options are available in the same colours, however are just a fraction of the price at just £12.18. All products within the range have been reviewed well and are quoted as being strong and durable which is all you want really! Take a look at our selection of buckets with mop wringers and decide for yourself, but don’t forget to let us know you’re thoughts once you’ve tested it out!
