The Cuban Mop

Handmade in Aotearoa, these beautiful Cuban Mops are a perfect waste-free solution to the usually short term, plastic-heavy mop. 

To use simply wet a rag (in a bucket of soapy water) and fold it over the end of the mop and use as usual. Rinse out when needed and throw into the wash when finished.
Some assembly required (square head screw provided)
More information can be found in the tabs below.

We attempted to use this once to clean our wooden floors but found it to be completely unsuitable. I gave it to the charity shop.

Amazing!

I'm trying to make sure we make sustainable choices for our home. This is perfect! Yes it is on the expensive side - but it will be worth it down the line when I don't have to purchase new mops and/or mop heads every few months.

Simple & stylish to swish!

Delighted with my new mop….I had been contemplating it for some time. My awful plastic mop finally broke, so happy to replace it with this simple wooden alternative. Looks great hanging in my laundry and I use with the floor cloth. Easy to rinse in sink and repeat.
Love swishing my floor clean now, much less of a chore!

Love it

I bought this almost two years ago but have only just used it today. I love it. It's easier to use than a sponge mop as it has a longer reach and is also easier to mop under furniture. I bought it for environmental reasons because there is so much plastic waste from a sponge mop so I'm really happy that it's better from a functional point of view also.

It's a rag on a stick

Admittedly a very nice rag on a very nice stick but why my mum spent $80 on this is beyond me. Wrap a rag around your existing broom for the same effect and waste even less

I love it too

Much better for the environment and to look at than a plastic mop. Can also be used as a swifter and is much easier to use because you don't need a bucket and can throw the cloths in the wash.

I was initially a bit daunted by using the Cuban mop but now I find I actually mop my floors more because it’s so easy to use and I can keep the mop out in easy reach as it's not a cleaning tool you have to hide away at the back of a cupboard.
