The Waxie LFTMG14W 14 oz. microfiber tube mop is a wet mop head that has a 5" headband and strings of green microfiber with looped ends and can be used with a clamp-style mop handle (sold separately) to mop floors. The strings are made of green microfiber for absorbency and resistance to shedding. The ends of the strings are looped for durability, allowing the mop head to be laundered. A tailband provides wide floor coverage and helps keep the strings from becoming tangled. The headband measures 5" wide and is made with mesh fabric to resist wear. The mop head weighs 14 oz. and measures 15-1/2 x 7-1/2 x 2 inches (L x W x H). (L is length, the horizontal distance from front to back when lying flat; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point.)
Wet mops (also called string mops) consist of a mop head, a handle, and a method of attaching, or mounting, a mop head onto a handle. Mop heads are typically made of cotton, synthetic fibers, or blends of cotton and synthetic. Synthetic fibers withstand laundering better and dry faster, both factors leading to longer product lifespan because harmful bacteria grow in a damp mop. In traditional string mop construction, coarse strings of cotton yarn are banded at the head for connection to a handle, and the strings hang loose at the tail. This method is now referred to as "cut-end," to contrast with the improved method of looping the strings back to the head, leaving no loose ends to fray. Laundering is not recommended for cut-end mops. Other improvements include tailbanding, which ties the strings together close to the tail to reduce tangling and improve floor coverage. Mops are used for cleaning floors or for spreading an oil- or water-based floor finish onto a floor to protect the surface.
