A Tip a Day - Refurbishing Old Mops

Refurbishing Old Mops — “Replace the Head + Clean the Handle” to Extend Lifespan

Pain Point:

The mop handle is still usable, but the head is worn out or deformed, making it wasteful to discard the whole thing.

Tips:

If the mop has a removable head (e.g., hook-and-loop or snap-on type), simply replace it with a new head of the same size (cost-effective, saving 50% compared to buying a new mop). If the mop handle has stains or rust (on stainless steel handles), wipe with a damp cloth dipped in toothpaste (toothpaste contains abrasives that remove rust), then polish with a dry cloth to restore shine.

Inspect connection points (e.g., where the head meets the handle). If loose, tighten with a screwdriver or reinforce with a layer of waterproof tape.

Tip: 

Choose a mop with replaceable heads. This saves money over time, reduces waste, and is both eco-friendly and practical.
