the best flat mop out there!

I started with the bona flat mop, it was so poorly constructed it drove me nuts. I purchased this and have never looked back. Forget Swiffers and the like - get this commerical model. It is well made, strong, and light with a telescoping handle. There are multiple mop 'heads' you can buy depending on your floor surface. They are easily secured with duty velcro on the mop head. Don't hesistate! you wont be sorry

HYGEN telescoping handle

I am so happy with these Rubbermaid HYGEN products. The only issue I have had is finding out which components are compatible since you need to purchase the handle, mop frame and whatever mops (in my case, the microfiber mop and dust mop) separately. This system is such an improvement over the microfiber mop I was using before since with the width of the mops, it takes only a few passes to clean a large area. Plus, it takes a lot less time and effort to rinse out the microfiber mop but you get the mop very clean before you use it. This handle is light but it telescopes so you can adjust it to the length most comfortable for you to use. Genius cleaning system.

and the absence of the cumbersome squirt bottle means you can more easily maneuver under furniture and around tight corners

Forget about all those squirt bottle mops -- including Swiffer, Lysol, and even Rubbermaid. Eventually, the squirt bottles all stop working. Don't' replace it with another squirt bottle mop - replace it with this quick connect rod from Rubbermaid's commercial product line. You can attach both a dry mop duster AND a wet mop scrubber to this, and the absence of the cumbersome squirt bottle means you can more easily maneuver under furniture and around tight corners. Carry your own squirt bottle of cleanser --- or make your own. Your'll be happy to never need another mop again. And btw - this is what the professionals use in hospitals and other institutional settings.

Not 1 1/8 inside diameter. 15/16 ID.

No one had this replacement part but Amazon. I had to grind and scrape the inside plastic ribs to get it to fit a one inch pole. No big deal I used a dremel and a small chisel to fit it. So the 1 and an eighth is outside diameter. It is very strong plastic/rubber though. The part that broke was metal but this actually feels stronger. Glad amazon had it saved a $45 extension pole from the trash.

Extremely durable and easy to use.

I work at a hospital as a housekeeper and use this mop. It is used as a mop and like a sweeper to collect all dirt, no sweeping beforehand necessary unless you're using it on tiles with grout ( dirt and hair gets stuck on grout).After 2 years of using it, I was very impressed with how durable and extremely useful and easy it was for getting floors clean. I decided to buy one for my own house. The only thing is that after many washes, the pads wear out a bit since they attach to the mop by Velcro but that's to be expected.

Housekeeper to using it in my own home and love it

A looong time ago I used to use these as a housekeeper in a hospital. It covered a lot of floor quickly, was more sanitary, and the reusable pads were easy to wash. Fast forward, I have a ton of wood flooring and tile.. three dogs, two cats and two kids.. and so I went hunting for this, and have found it just as valuable in my home as when I was using it commercially. I’m late to review this, but I’ve had it for a long while now without any issues or concerns. It’s holding up great!

Quality at its finest

Check out my other review on Rubbermaid commercial products. This extension pole has a nice feel to it. Works well with other Rubbermaid tools. This pole has length for hard to reach places. Easy twist adjustment. Easy press removal and attachment of compatible cleaning products.

Durable

I own a cleaning business and have been using this for a few months now. This handle does take some getting used to with the curved handle. I find myself readjusting it so that it's straight. If you have it lined up right, it is nice to use compared to the straight up and down handles. It's less wear on your back and arms. This handle is superior to my old mop because it has its own tensioning piece to be tightened rather than having it inside the handle. The old mop I had broke after a couple of years because the tensioning system was inside the handle. I think this system will work much better and last a lot longer. It should be a durable handle.

Excellent!!

Love it. Excellent quality. Bought to go with the 11inch hygen mop head. Also have the 18inch hygen system. Vast improvement over Swiffer...More economical than using throwaways and a huge improvement in quality. They will last for a very long time.
