I own a residential cleaning service. Has anyone used these mops for a number of years? How do the handles hold up?

I've only had mine for a few months, but I use it daily. I have two puppies and lots of accidents. So far, so good. I like it better than the spin mop. I had one of those and the spinner broke in a short amount of time.

Ours snapped too after about seven months of use, looking for a replacement now. Love the Bona cleaning and polishing solutions, but the mop itself not so much.

I have been using them for about a year. I use them on and off and always hand wash them. They have held up great.

I think, yes. Both handles are now split ('now' is 3.5 years after I purchased the set). I always did cleaning them by hand only but I didn't follow any instructions other than those I already knew

I have never had a problem with the mop handle coming off and this is the first that I have heard of it happening. Hopefully they will replace the mop for you or refund your money.

I have had mine for over ten years. The silicone has held up completely. After ten years of daily use, the silicone handles are still in mint condition.

In my experience, these are tough, but I use silicone or wood utencils usually - if metal, then careful not to scratch. The outside finish will definitely wear off and the handles lighten if washed in the dishwasher. These will last much longer if hand washed and they're so easy to clean that there's really no reason not to wash by hand.

I own a home cleaning business and use these all the time. I have washed the pads hundreds of times and they still work very well.

No problem with mop head.We paid about 70 dollars for the one we have.We looked at the one for less money and they did not look as heavy duty.

I bought this based on the one my Mother had in the U.K. for many years. She never had a problem with the handle, and I have been very happy with mine. No handle problems, and a great little sweeper. This gets along the edges and really does a great job.

They hold up unless you are filling this with heavy items and pulling it around by the handles. Treat it right, and the handles will last.

Best mop that I have ever had. I love that you don't have to put your hands in the water while mopping. I think you have to buy the whole mop. Then you replace the mop heads as needed. My first smart mop lasted for years. I replaced the mop head twice over several years. When I last needed a replacement head, I was unable to find one at our local stores so I went online to get one. The mop was on sale at a terrific price, so I bought it along with a couple of extra mop heads. Very satisfied. Norma

I agree with others they are strong and I have used 2 cloths per mopping so I feel they will last at least 18 to 24 months each.

I have not used the new mop heads that I purchased but after your e-mail I took them out of their package and smelled them. They do have a slight cleaning solution odor. I can't tell you how they would clean as I have not used them.

I agree with Carol. This is the only vacuum I've used over 30ish years. I've had to replace it once or twice. I run mine year round. The flaps wear out but are cheap and easily replaced, but don't need replacing very often. Will only use this type of vac. Great for the price and far better than the pricey ones.

The mop pads for the PowerFresh will last quite a while. They are machine washable but make sure you let them air dry and do not use any fabric softener with them. Because of the amount of dirt that can be picked up its possible for them to appear a bit grey still after being washed but they are clean and will work great!

get it at smart and final for the old blue metal mop handle wringer sponge replacements. i got two each for $14.00 + tax. it has the metal mounting bar which must be negotiated to get it onto the mop handle. they tipically last for about a year or two before degrading if you dry them out poperly after use. oh! keep them out of the sun.
