I also felt the need to do it when I wanted to wash my mop head. I did not know what to do in the beginning but trying again and again and by surfing through the internet, I got my query solved.
All you need to do is follow the instructions below, and your mop head will be as good as new in no time! So, let’s see how to wash O Cedar Spin Mop Head!
Turn your mop upside down
Make sure your mop is upside down and allow it to dry. If you put wet items in a drawer, they’ll mold quickly and it will be nearly impossible to remove them without damaging other items. Larger things like dustpans should hang so that air can circulate around them.
You can hang them on coat hooks with loops or even just drape them over a doorknob. Remember, whether hanging or stacking, make sure all of your drying tools are completely dry before putting them away.
The easiest way to make sure everything dries is simply to pull everything out of its hiding place at once every morning or evening and give it lots of time to sit out before putting anything away; when left outside, they’ll have less chance of mildewing.
Disassemble your mop head
The first step is to remove any dirt or stains on your mop head. You can soak your mop head in a solution of warm water and oxygen-based detergent to break down any build-up.
You can then use a long-handled scrub brush to remove stains and build up in small areas that are inaccessible. If you notice your mop head has become difficult to spin, then it’s time for a thorough clean! After that remove your mop head and continue the operation.
Use the washing machine with laundry detergent
In order to ensure that your spin mop is ready for future use, it’s important to wash it regularly. Before you can wash your mop, however, you have to remove it from its cage and separate its two individual pads.
You should only need water to do so, but you may have to run your hand over each pad in order to get all of its fibers untangled and ready for washing. Once that’s done, throw them into a machine with laundry detergent.
But don’t put them through an intense spin cycle because they will break down faster if you do so. Instead, use a normal spin cycle followed by a rinse cycle before pulling them out once again and hanging them up or laying them flat to dry.
Put all pieces in the dryer together
Yes, you can wash your mop head and it’s easy to do. Put all of your pieces in a dryer on low heat. If you don’t have a dryer, place them out in direct sunlight for at least 2 hours.
When they’re done you’ll know because there will be very little if any smell left! For stubborn stains, I recommend using Milton Spray ‘n Wash Laundry Stain Remover. It is designed to get out even tough stains like red wine or grease.
Please note that all-purpose spray cleaners may cause color loss and could damage wood handles when not properly rinsed off. So keep that in mind when choosing your cleaning product!
Dry each piece individually on low heat
The heat from tumble drying can permanently damage your spin mop! Hang dry. (Some people use a clothesline, others an indoor rack.) Once dry, allow 24 hours before re-spinning. W
hen ready to re-spin, hold onto it tightly and spin vigorously in a downward motion for 20 seconds. The pad should unravel nicely with minimal effort. Repeat as necessary until the pad is clean and white again. Do not re-spin when wet because you risk damaging your pad.
