It’s important to use the wringer on the mop bucket properly to ensure the mop doesn’t get damaged and the floor gets cleaned with the right amount of liquid.

  1. Dip a string mop into the mop bucket so it’s soaked with the cleaning solution.

  2. Put the mop head into the wringer so all of the strings are inside.

  3. Pull down towards the floor on the handle of the wringer. Hold it down for about three seconds, then put the handle back into its original position. Take the mop head out of the wringer to mop the floor.
