July 24, 2025 | Cleaning Tips

Keeping your home clean shouldn’t feel like a full-time job, especially when it comes to your floors. With the right tools and a smart approach, mopping becomes quick, satisfying, and even therapeutic. That’s where O-Cedar comes in.

Known across the US for innovative cleaning tools, O-Cedar mops like the EasyWring spin mop, the RinseClean spin mop, and the H2prO flat mop deliver powerful, splash-free results without the elbow grease.

Whether you're cleaning tile, laminate, hardwood, or vinyl, this guide shows you how to choose the right mop for your floors and use it like a pro.

Step 1: Choose the Right Mop for Your Space

Not all floors are created equal — and neither are mops.

For hardwood and laminate: The H2prO flat mop is your go-to. It’s ultra-compact, separates the dirty from the clean water, and features a refillable tank. Plus, it is designed vertically to fit almost anywhere, even under the sink!
For deep cleaning and households with pets or kids: Try the EasyWring spin mop or RinseClean spin mop system. Both designed with an easy-to-use foot pedal which makes mopping a lot of fun, and genuine microfiber that absorbs and scrubs messes with ease. They’re tough on messes, safe on all floors — and the reason we’re America’s #1 spin mop brand.*

💡 Pro tip: Want to cut back on disposable pads? Flat mops like H2prO and our Spin Mops come with a reusable microfiber mop head that can be tossed into the washing machine and laid flat to dry.

Step 2: Prep Before You Mop

Quickly sweeping or vacuuming before mopping makes all the difference. Loose crumbs and hair can turn your mop session into a smear-fest. Focus on corners, baseboards, and under furniture to get the most out of your mop. Our top picks: the One Sweep Broom with Dustpan for everyday messes and the Pet Pro Broom with Step-On Dustpan for fur-filled floors.

Step 3: How to Mop Like a Pro

Fill your bucket with warm water and a floor-safe cleaning solution. For microfiber mops like H2prO, plain water is often enough. For our spin mops, we love using our PACS Floor Cleaner, made with natural enzymes that remove stains safely.
Wring it out. Whether you’re using the EasyWring foot pedal or the H2prO Flat Mop, avoid over-saturating the pad. Wet, wring and mop!
Work in sections, starting from the far end of the room and moving toward the exit.
Use an “S” or figure-8 motion for even coverage and to avoid pushing dirt into corners.
Rinse and repeat. If your water starts looking murky, change it out. No one wants to clean with dirty water.

Step 4: Care for Your Mop So It Lasts

A mop that stays clean works better — and smells better.

Rinse after each use and hang it to dry.
Toss the mop head in the wash – unlike other disposable brands.
Replace mop heads every few months, depending on frequency of use.

Final Thoughts

Your time is valuable — don’t waste it on tools that don’t pull their weight. With O-Cedar’s smart cleaning systems like H2prO and RinseClean Spin Mop, you’ll get better results with less effort (and zero disposable pads).
