My mom complain wringing the mop strain her hands. She said she need to hold the mop fibers and twist it hard to ensure that it is dry enough.

I was thinking of getting this type that looks similar to those used in commercial environment.

Does this works well?

Or there are better suggestions?

Thanks

Better suggestion is you do the mopping instead of your mum. Better still, hire a helper for both of you. Then you spend your time making the most money you could.

Incidentally, there one type of mop bucket that spin and squeeze dry the mop. You can find them easily.

Yes, you need to wring the mop of much water before mopping the floor. You can also buy the bucket type which can help to wring the mop

After the mopping work there's no need to hand wring for drying

What I normally do is put the mop on the floor, turn on the tap and step on the mop to wash it. After that turn the tap off and step the mop until not much water left and hang out to dry

I don't stay with her and she is still able. My place I mop once per week, she said she mop everyday.

The spinning type I many years ago tried and the water seems to spin over as well so i revert back to the simple mop.

You tried the spinning type and find it helpful? As in the mop fibers will be very dry.

Yes, that is what my mom said and thus always wring until super dry, I told her no need but she still insist.
That is why I was thinking of getting this type of bucket to help wring.

She will wring dry during moping and not just when hang dry so I think i better get something for her to ease her hands and still allow her the satisfaction of doing her housework

Have you tried the spinning mop before? Does it spin that dry? My experience albeit many years ago, was that water splash out during spinning and I did not like it much but I cannot remember if the mop is spin until how dry

Vacuum mop so much cleaner and easier, moi helper starts to take care of my vacuum mop when I told her she'd be using traditional mop when it spoils, shows how much she appreciate this vacuum mop.
