Product Information
Full details
The Faithfull Cotton Socket Mop Head (No 16) is a traditional, heavy-duty cleaning tool designed for homeowners, janitorial staff, and industrial workers who require a reliable and absorbent solution for floor maintenance. Its primary benefit lies in its robust cotton construction and secure galvanised bracket, which ensure long-lasting performance on a variety of surfaces; however, users should note that as a cotton-based product, it requires thorough rinsing and proper drying to prevent odor buildup and fiber degradation.

FAQs
Does this mop head come with a handle?
No, this product is the mop head only. It is designed to fit any standard 23mm diameter handle.
Is the bracket rust-proof?
The bracket is made of galvanised metal, which provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion during normal cleaning tasks.
Can I use this on hardwood floors?
Yes, but ensure the mop is wrung out until it is damp rather than soaking wet to avoid water damage to the wood.
How often should I replace the mop head?
Replacement frequency depends on usage intensity. Generally, replace it when the cotton becomes excessively frayed or starts to retain odors despite cleaning.
Can I wash the mop head in a washing machine?
While it can be hand-washed, machine washing may cause the metal bracket to damage your machine or the mop fibers to tangle excessively.
Troubleshooting
Mop head slipping from the handle
Verify that your handle is exactly 23mm in diameter and ensure the bracket's locking screw or clip is fully tightened.
Unpleasant odor after drying
Rinse the mop head in a bucket of warm water with a mild disinfectant, wring it out completely, and ensure it dries in a sunny or highly ventilated area.
Excessive shedding of cotton fibers
This is normal for a new cotton mop. Rinse it thoroughly before the first use to remove any loose factory fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the mop head, simply push the socket onto a compatible 23mm diameter handle and secure it according to the handle's locking mechanism. For optimal care, always rinse the mop thoroughly in clean, warm water after every use to remove cleaning agents and debris. Wring the mop head out as much as possible and store it in a well-ventilated, upright position to allow the cotton to air dry fully. Avoid leaving the mop soaking in a bucket of dirty water for extended periods, as this will shorten the lifespan of the cotton fibers and lead to bacterial growth.
