Spinning mops are very useful for cleaning floors. They make the job easier and faster. But sometimes, the mop head gets old and dirty. Then, it needs to be changed. Changing the mop head is not hard. You can do it yourself at home. This guide will show you how to change the spinning mop head step by step.
Why Change the Mop Head?
The mop head is the part that touches the floor. It collects dust and dirt. After some time, it becomes less clean. It can also smell bad. If you keep using the old mop head, it will not clean well.
Changing the mop head helps you clean better. It also keeps your floor looking nice. New mop heads are soft and absorb water well. So, your floor dries faster after mopping.

Tools You Need
Before you start, gather these things:
- New spinning mop head
- Bucket with water
- Towel or cloth (to dry your hands)
You do not need any special tools. The mop head usually comes with a way to remove it easily.
Step-by-Step Guide to Change Spinning Mop Head
Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace
Find a clean place to work. Use the bucket to rinse the mop if needed. Make sure the floor is dry so you don’t slip. Lay down a towel if you want to keep the area dry.
Step 2: Remove The Old Mop Head
Most spinning mops have a mop head that you can take off easily. Look at the bottom of the mop handle. You will see the mop head connected to a round base.
There are two common ways to remove the mop head:
- By pressing a button: Some mops have a button near the base. Press the button and pull the mop head down.
- By pulling: For other mops, hold the base and pull the mop head straight down. It should come off with some force.
If the mop head is very dirty, you can rinse it first. This makes it easier to remove.
Step 3: Clean The Mop Base
Before you put on the new mop head, clean the base. Use water and a cloth to wipe it. Remove dust and dirt. This keeps the new mop head clean and lasts longer.
Step 4: Attach The New Mop Head
Take the new mop head out of the package. Make sure it is dry or slightly damp. Check the connection part of the mop head. It should fit the base of the mop handle.
To attach:
- Place the mop head under the base.
- Push the mop handle down until you hear a click.
- Or, if your mop uses a button, press the button and snap the mop head in place.
Check if the mop head is fixed well. Pull it gently to be sure it does not come off.
Step 5: Test The Mop
Put some water in the bucket. Dip the mop head in the water. Spin the mop to remove extra water. If it spins well, your mop head is attached correctly.
Now your mop is ready for use. Clean your floors as usual.
Tips for Taking Care of Your Spinning Mop
Changing the mop head is easy, but good care helps mop last longer. Here are some tips:
