18 Inch Microfiber Flat Mop & Bucket System vs Commercial Microfiber Flat Mop

Buy the 18-inch kit if you want a complete, ready-to-use system with color-coded pads, scrubber pads, dust pads and a wheeled bucket. Buy the commercial flat mop if you only need a frame and handle, or if you want a wider 36-inch head to cover large floors faster. The kit's aluminum frame and 72-inch handle match the commercial mop's build, but the kit adds the pads and bucket that the commercial mop leaves out. Owners of flat-mop systems like these praise fast pad changes and low profiles; the trade-off is that the wider commercial head is harder to steer in tight rooms.

• Choose the 18-inch kit if you want one order that covers wet mopping, scrubbing and dusting, with color-coded pads for separate areas and a wheeled bucket to wring them out.
• Choose the commercial flat mop if you already own pads and a bucket, or if you want a 36-inch head to cover big open floors with fewer passes.
