Commercial Microfiber Flat Mop vs Rubbermaid WaveBrake Microfiber Flat Mop Kit

The Commercial Microfiber Flat Mop is the better pick for large open hard floors: its 36-inch head covers more per pass and the aluminum handle telescopes to 72 inches for tall users. The Rubbermaid kit is the better pick for detail work and for anyone already using a WaveBrake bucket: its 18-inch head fits tighter spaces, the steel handle is sturdier, and the microfiber is proven to remove 99.7% of microbes. Owners of wide flat mops like the 36-inch report fast coverage but awkward storage and harder wringing; the Rubbermaid pad holds 6-7 times its weight in liquid and is launderable.

• Choose the Commercial Microfiber Flat Mop if you have long runs of hard floor, want a wide 36-inch head, and need a handle that reaches 72 inches.
• Choose the Rubbermaid Adaptable Flat Mop Kit if you already own a WaveBrake bucket, clean tighter rooms, and want a steel handle and launderable pads.
