The 5 Best Spray Mops of 2024, Tested and Reviewed
Spray mops take the elbow grease out of achieving sparkling clean floors without compromising hygiene or effectiveness. These convenient cleaning tools are also easier to store and use less water than a standard mop and bucket. However, it can be hard to figure out what type of spray mop is safe for your floors.
“Different flooring materials require specific care to avoid damage,” says Muffetta Krueger, a cleaning expert and founder of Muffetta’s Domestic Assistants. “Make sure that the mop’s cleaning solution and pads are suitable for the surface, and don’t cause scratches or discoloration.”
To find the best spray mops, we tested 16 options in our Lab and evaluated them based on maneuverability, portability, effectiveness, ease of cleaning, and more. We tested these spray mops on various surface types, including hardwood and grouted tile.

The disposable mop heads are absorbent and have 300+ scrubbing strips for tough messes.

It can’t get under narrow areas.
If you want an effective spray mop with disposable mop pads, opt for the Swiffer PowerMop Multi-Surface Kit—our pick as one of The Very Best Products of 2024. It’s simple to use: Just attach the mop head, pop in the cleaning solution, and spray as you go. The convenient disposable mop heads also make it easy to refresh your mop after every use. Each head has over 300 tiny scrubbing strips that clean dust, sticky spills, and grime, which we found effectively cleaned stains on tile and hardwood with only a couple of sprays.
While this spray mop is lightweight and swivels well along furniture and corners, it’s unable to fit under narrow spaces. Despite this, it has impressive cleaning power, and we especially like that the mop heads stay in place as you move. The spray trigger never gets jammed or clogged and holds a continuous spray when pressed down for seamless cleaning. We also appreciate the affordable price, even though mop heads and cleaning solution refills are a must for this product.
Power Source: Battery-operated | Weight: 4.65 pounds | Mop Head Material: Disposable stripped mop pads | Machine-Washable Head: No
