Buying guide
About our Mop Bucket range
This collection brings together commercial and general-purpose floor-cleaning equipment from Edco, Sabco, NAB, Oates and Pullman. It includes complete mops in cotton, microfibre, dust-control and scissor styles, a wide range of replacement heads and refills, and mop and wringer buckets from 9L to 22L. It suits cleaners, facility managers and hospitality venues, as well as anyone who wants a dependable mop and bucket for regular use. You can buy a complete setup or replace only the part that has worn out, and many products come in blue, green, red, yellow and white to support colour-coded cleaning across kitchens, washrooms and general floors.
Choose the Right Mop for Your Cleaning Needs
The best place to start is the mop itself. Cotton mops are the traditional choice for general wet mopping, microfibre mops come as round heads or flat pads, and wider formats cover large floor areas. The size of the space you clean, and any handle or frame you already own, will point you towards the right type.
Cotton and Contractor Mops
Cotton contractor mops are a familiar format for routine floor cleaning. The NAB 400g Coloured Cotton Mop with MHPC Socket is a heavy-duty cotton mop that fits a compatible handle, which makes it a straightforward everyday option. The Sabco Professional 400g Contractor Mop is a contractor-style mop with colour-coded options, so separate mops can be assigned to separate areas. For larger teams, the NAB Blue Cotton Mop 12-Pack is made from 100% absorbent cotton and suits bulk buying, while the Edco Enduro Mop is a heavy-duty floor mop that fits neatly alongside other Edco equipment.
Microfibre Mops
If you prefer flat pads or round microfibre heads, microfibre is the natural next step. The Edco Enduro Microfibre Mop is built for durability and high absorbency. The Sabco Aluminium Base Microfibre Mop (40cm) is a complete flat-mop unit, and the Complete 60cm Flat Mop Set includes a head, handle and one blue refill, which makes it a convenient starter kit.
Cotton or Microfibre?
Both formats are available here, so the choice comes down to your existing equipment and how you like to mop. Cotton suits traditional contractor mops and familiar head weights such as 400g. Microfibre suits round-head systems and flat mops with reusable pads. If you already own a handle or frame, check which head it takes before you decide, because that often settles the question.
Mop Heads and Replacement Refills
Once you've chosen a system, the next question is how to keep it running. Replacement heads and refills make up a large part of this collection, so you can renew a worn mop without replacing the whole unit.
Do You Need a New Mop or Just a New Head?
If the handle, frame or socket is still in good condition, a replacement head is usually all you need. A complete mop makes more sense when you're setting up new equipment or need the handle as well. The collection covers cotton refills, polycotton heads, microfibre round heads, flat microfibre pads and scissor mop fringes, so there's a replacement for each mop style.
Cotton, Polycotton and String Refills
For standard cotton systems, the Sabco Professional 400g Cotton Contractor Mop Head Refill and the NAB 100% Cotton Mop Head are straightforward replacements, and the NAB 400g Cotton Mop Head in Green suits colour-coded setups. If you want a heavier head, the Sabco Professional Contractor Polycotton Mop Head 600g is the polycotton alternative to the 400g cotton heads. String mop users can choose the Oates Duraclean String Mop Head Refill, a heavy-duty, commercial-grade head.
Microfibre Round Heads and Flat Pads
Microfibre users have a similar choice. Round heads are available from Sabco (350g), Edco (assorted colours), Oates and NAB (the Supa Premium Microfiber Mop Head). For flat mops, the Edco Enduro Microfibre Flat Mop Pad Refill (40cm) is a reusable replacement pad.
Check Before You Buy a Replacement
With replacement parts, compatibility matters most. Before you order, check that the head fits your existing socket, handle or frame, that a pad such as the 40cm size matches your flat-mop frame, that the head weight (400g or 600g) suits how you mop, and that a scissor mop fringe matches the width and style of your mop. If you're buying a head without a handle, our Handles & Extension Poles range will help you find a compatible one.
Wide, Dust Control and Scissor Mops
For larger floor areas, a standard mop can mean too many passes. Wider mops cover more floor each time, which suits corridors, halls, warehouses and other open spaces.
Dust Control and Jumbo Mops
The Edco Dust Control Mop Complete has a swivel head and handle, while the Sabco Dust Control Mop Complete (61cm) has an aluminium handle. The Sabco Jumbo Mop (91 × 15cm) is supplied complete for the widest coverage in this group, and the Sabco Professional Acrylic Standard Mop with Lace Ties (61 × 15cm) offers a more compact width.
Scissor Mops and Replacement Fringes
Scissor-style mops suit customers who prefer that format with a wide head. The Edco Complete Scissor Mop uses mod-acrylic fibres, and the Sabco Professional Acrylic Scissor Mop (100 × 12.5cm) is sold as a set of 2. When a fringe wears out, the Edco Scissor Mop Replacement Fringe or the Sabco Large Scissor Mop Fringe (Set of 2) renews the mop without buying a new one, and the Sabco Scissor Trolley Frame is a heavy-duty yellow frame with wheels.
Mop Buckets and Wringer Systems
A good mop needs the right bucket to go with it. This collection includes 13 bucket products, and the best choice depends on capacity, wringer type, wheels, how often you clean and the size of the area.
General Mop Buckets
For regular commercial mopping, the NAB 16L Mop Bucket, Oates Contractor Mop Bucket 16L (red) and Sabco Professional Pro Mop Bucket are all in the 15–16L range. The Pullman 16L Heavy Duty Mop Bucket is Pullman's heavy-duty option.
Wringer Buckets
If you want a dedicated wringer, the Edco Metal Wringer Bucket (15L) has a metal wringer, twin foot pedals for left- and right-handed use, a roller-lock for stability, a rear hand grip and a stackable body. The Edco Enduro Nylon Wringer Bucket MKII (15L) swaps the metal for a rust-resistant nylon wringer, adds a colour-coded handle and is HACCP certified, which may suit food-sensitive areas.
Wheeled and Compact Buckets
If you move between rooms or levels, wheels reduce lifting. The Oates Contractor Mop Wringer Bucket (15L with Castors) and the NAB Clean Bucket on Wheels (22L) both roll, and the NAB bucket has the larger capacity. For lighter jobs, the NAB 9L Rectangular Bucket has a pouring spout and handle, and the Edco Squeeze Mop Bucket is a hands-free option.
What to Consider When Choosing a Bucket
Think about capacity first: 9L suits small jobs, 15–16L suits regular commercial use, and 22L suits larger areas. Then consider the wringer type, whether you need wheels, and how often you'll use it. If you're replacing a bucket, match it to the mop system you already have.
How to Choose the Right Mop and Bucket
With the options laid out, here's how the choices come together:
| Cleaning requirement | Consider |
|---|---|
| General floor cleaning | Cotton or contractor mop |
| Regular cleaning of smooth floors | Microfibre mop |
| Larger floor areas | Wider, dust-control or scissor mop |
| Existing mop handle or system | Compatible replacement head, pad or fringe |
| Only the mop head is worn | Replacement refill rather than a complete mop |
| Heavier mop head | 600g polycotton head |
| Frequent commercial cleaning | Mop and wringer bucket system |
| Moving the bucket around | Wheeled or castor bucket |
| Food-sensitive areas | Edco Enduro Nylon Wringer Bucket MKII |
| Separate cleaning areas | Colour-coded mops and buckets |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a new mop or just a new mop head?
If your handle, frame or socket is still in good condition, a replacement head, refill, pad or fringe is usually all you need. A complete mop makes more sense when you're setting up new equipment or need the handle as well. Before ordering a replacement, check that the fitting and size match your current mop.
Should I choose a cotton or microfibre mop?
It depends on your existing equipment and how you like to mop. Cotton suits traditional contractor mops, such as the 400g heads in this collection. Microfibre is available as round heads and as flat pads, so check which format your handle or frame takes before you decide.
What is the difference between a 400g and a 600g mop head?
The Sabco Professional Contractor Polycotton Mop Head 600g is heavier than the 400g cotton heads from Sabco and NAB, and it uses a polycotton blend. Choose the weight and material that suit your mop and the way you clean, and make sure the head fits your existing handle.
What size mop bucket do I need?
The buckets in this collection range from 9L to 22L. The 15–16L buckets suit regular commercial mopping, the 9L NAB bucket suits smaller jobs, and the 22L NAB Clean Bucket on Wheels suits larger areas. If you're replacing a bucket, match it to the mop system you already use.
Which buckets have a wringer?
The Edco Metal Wringer Bucket (15L) and the Edco Enduro Nylon Wringer Bucket MKII (15L) both have twin foot pedals for left- and right-handed use. The Oates Contractor Mop Wringer Bucket (15L) is also a wringer bucket. For the other buckets, check the product page for wringer details before you order.
Do you have mop buckets with wheels?
Yes. The Oates Contractor Mop Wringer Bucket (15L with Castors) and the NAB Clean Bucket on Wheels (22L) are both wheeled, which helps if you move between rooms or levels.
Are colour-coded mops and buckets available?
Many products in this collection come in blue, green, red, yellow and white. The Sabco Professional 400g Contractor Mop has colour-coded options, and the Edco Enduro Nylon Wringer Bucket MKII has a colour-coded handle, which supports separate cleaning zones such as kitchens, washrooms and general floors.
