Spin mop (self-wringing mop) Features: The mop head can be rotated to wring out water, using centrifugal force to quickly dehydrate and avoid touching dirty water. Suitable scenarios: Suitable for large-area cleaning, especially friendly to wooden floors, preventing water penetration and deformation.

Traditional cloth mop
Features: Made of bundled cotton or fiber strips, highly absorbent, and inexpensive.
Suitable scenarios: Suitable for smooth surfaces (such as tiles and wooden floors), but prone to trapping dirt and requiring frequent cleaning.
Flat mop
Features: The flat mop head is detachable and usually used with electrostatic dust wipes or wet mops.
Advantages: Lightweight and flexible, can reach under furniture, suitable for quick daily cleaning.
Upgraded version: Flat mops with a water spraying function allow for simultaneous spraying and mopping, reducing bending.
Rotating mop (spin mop)
Features: The mop head can be rotated to spin-dry, using centrifugal force to quickly dehydrate and avoid hand contact with dirty water.
Suitable scenarios: Suitable for large-area cleaning, especially friendly to wooden floors, preventing water penetration and deformation.
Steam mop
Features: Uses high-temperature steam to sterilize and disinfect, while softening stubborn stains.
Advantages: No chemical cleaning agents are needed, suitable for families with babies or pets, but the price is higher.
Electric mop/scrubber
Features: Built-in motor drives the mop to rotate or vibrate; some models support integrated vacuuming, mopping, and scrubbing.
Advantages: Labor-saving and efficient, suitable for lazy people or large apartments, but the wastewater tank needs regular cleaning.
