Kentucky Mop Head — 12oz & 16oz
These Kentucky Mop Heads are traditional replacement heads for commercial wet mopping. Their spreading design covers an area of floor with each pass, making them useful for cleaning open hard-floor spaces as well as the corridors connecting them. The range offers 12oz and 16oz head weights for everyday janitorial work.
A Kentucky mop head attaches to its handle through a separate clip or fitting. This familiar arrangement allows the working head to be replaced while retaining the rest of the equipment, supporting an economical approach to routine floor-care replenishment.
Traditional Mopping for Larger Floor Areas
Kentucky mops are well suited to conventional bucket-and-wringer cleaning routines. The head carries cleaning solution onto the floor and spreads out during use, helping the operator work across halls, communal rooms and circulation areas. Its loose construction follows the movement of the handle during broad mopping strokes.
The choice of head weight gives cleaning teams a way to equip different areas within a building. The 12oz option provides the smaller head in this range, while the 16oz version offers a larger weight for the same traditional cleaning method. Both are intended for wet mopping suitable hard floors.
Replaceable Heads for Established Cleaning Systems
Replacing a mop head separately makes good use of the equipment already in service. The clip remains the attachment point between the head and handle, so routine head changes do not require a complete new mop. This is particularly useful where several cleaning cupboards or teams use Kentucky equipment.
For contract cleaners, schools and hospitality premises, a consistent mop format simplifies day-to-day replenishment. The available head weights make it possible to keep the same general cleaning method across different rooms while providing a choice of replacement head for each cleaning route.
