sponge mop

Absorbent floor cleaner

A sponge mop is a floor-cleaning tool with an absorbent sponge head attached to a long handle, typically featuring a squeeze mechanism to wring out water.

The sponge conforms to uneven surfaces better than string mops: I used the sponge mop on the kitchen tile.

Common for indoor hard floors.
