18 Inch Microfiber Flat Mop & Bucket System vs Rubbermaid WaveBrake Microfiber Flat Mop Kit

The JP Direct kit is the better buy for most people: it arrives complete with 13 pads, an aluminum frame, a 72-inch telescopic handle and a wheeled bucket, so one order covers wet mopping, scrubbing and dusting. The Rubbermaid kit is a leaner commercial pad-and-frame set built to drop into a WaveBrake bucket you already own, with a steel handle and pads that hold 6 to 7 times their weight in liquid. On build, the aluminum frame resists rust better than steel; Rubbermaid's commercial pedigree and launderable microfiber are the stronger points on the other side.

• Choose the JP Direct 18-inch kit if you want a complete, ready-to-use system with color-coded pads, scrubber pads and a wheeled bucket in one order.
• Choose the Rubbermaid Adaptable Flat Mop Kit if you already run a WaveBrake bucket and want commercial-grade microfiber pads on a steel handle.
