Without the fuss – not to mention, heavy lifting – of preparing a warm cleaning solution and bucket, spray mops are the perfect grab-and-go product for quickfire sparkling floors. Not all spray mops have flexible heads though, so be sure to check the head manoeuvrability before purchase. These versatile heads can move and flex, enabling you to get under tables, chairs and into small spaces with ease. We’re certified fans of swivel heads at the Good Housekeeping Institute. However, if you’re short on storage space or primarily looking to blitz small spaces, a small tank will still get you far and will be more compact. It goes without saying that if you’re looking to mop multiple hardwood floors, then a bigger reservoir means less chance of having to refill.

The reservoir size on spray mops can range from 300ml to almost a full litre. As well as ensuring you’re using a spray mop with a microfibre head, it’s also worth checking whether you can pop them in the washing machine after use. Made from a synthetic material, durable microfibre cloths can be used with water alone to pick up microscopic dirt and dust particles. Some spray mops, such as the Flash Power Mop, also have battery-assisted trigger sprays for more force behind every spritz.Īlmost all of the spray mops we tested feature microfibre ‘pads’ or ‘cloths’. It’s a cordless charge-up-and-clean option with extra power for those tougher stains. If you want some real power behind your spray mop, consider a model like our winner, the expert Vileda Looper Spray Mop.

Here are some features worth looking out for if you want the best spray mop experience possible. Sweep the mop head across your floor and – ta-dah! – clean floors at the ready. You simply press the trigger on the handle and the mop spritzes whatever is in the reservoir directly onto the floor in front of the mophead. Spray mops have built-in reservoirs that hold water or your chosen cleaning solution.
