Best mop I’ve had – Great mop. No special bucket required. Looking at the water in my bucket after I mop, it clearly is doing a good job. Easy to clean. Dries quickly. Replaceable heads. Show details · 1
SABCO - made in the USA not SA - and useless – (1). I didn't read the reviews here before buying this as I needed a mop in a hurry and didn't want to muck about with a mop/bucket combo, and what mop heads fit what handles etc. If I had read the reviews, I wouldn't have wasted my money on this. I made a quick choice based on my out of date knowledge and assumptions. SABCO = AUSTRALIAN = GOOD… Read more
REPUTATION.
(2). SABCO, the South Australian Brush Company. I try and buy Australian when I can but didn't realise SABCO is owned by Libman USA. This mop was made in the USA - it says so right on the handle. Nothing wrong with that - but if you think you are buying Australian, check first.
(3). My main problem with this mop is that it scratches the furniture and you have to be VERY careful with it. The power wringer (aka the green plastic collar bit), does lock into place, but at a height where is can scratch table legs, chair legs, basically any furniture that you have to go near or under to mop. If I lay it down low to avoid this, I bang the end of the handle against the walls or doors, and now have marks on my paint work.
(4). Performance - I always vacuum before I mop but some small specks are left, often under furniture. As other reviewers have said, this mop just pushes around stuff on the floor and doesn't pick it up. I have a new vinyl plank floor and unless I follow the planks (not side to side across them) the mop leaves streaks - and I use the cleaner recommended by the floor manufacturer. It takes ages to mop as I keep having to go over the floor, and if I come across a spot that mop can't pick up, I have to bend down and with the lightest of pressure remove it with my finger. Why can't the mop do that??? It's a %^&* mop - that's its job!!!!!
(5). The only positive things I can say about this mop is that it is reasonably easy to wring out with my arthritic hands and the mop head dries quickly in the sun. That's it. However, it would be even better if I didn't have to wring out the mop so often if it cleaned properly in the first place.
(6). I am exhausted due the level of exertion required because the mop is USELESS. What should be a simples task is made harder by this product.
Zero stars! But great if you just want to move dirt around! – This is by far the WORST mop I have ever used. It will literally pick NOTHING up. Try all you can but I guarantee dirt particles, hair etc will remain on the floor & just be moved from one spot to another. Even if you have pre vaccuumed, I actually started laughing at how pathetic it was & I can't even use the handle on another mop so it's in the bin. Never again & total waste of money!

Totally disaster in product design management – I bought this mop for its apparent quality, smooth and strong make for a discount in Big W. This micro fibre mop won't pick up dirt so the water used for rinsing the mop stays clean all of the time. Sabco suggested that the floor should be cleaned before mopping so the mop is not used to pick up dirt and hair but 3M does it magically but 3M is not… Read more
in Australia market!
Next horrible experience with Sabco is when I wanted to replace the mop, I cannot find any replacement refill available in any store. The handle, attachment and thread of other Sabco mops use different design so they are not compatible. Despite Sabco has relatively sturdy body which should lasts long, the whole mop can only be used once and I have to buy a new mop with new handle again.
From my research, other brands have similar problem but not to Sabco extent that non of the mop nor other product shares the same thread and handle.
Sabco, can you look into this and ensure replacement mop refill is sold at stores at offered price to compensate customers' nightmare as mentioned?

I want to tell the world that Sabco are marketing grubs! – Nice green colours. Does each product attachment fit long handle? No. Different sizes, different threads. The mop, swish line, broom all require a different handle. You get sucked in once. Steer clear of these Sabco marketing grubs. They don't care about the consumer. I now have the swish set, a mop head and a broom handle. The green colour now makes me puke.
Could be the worst mop ever – why this is called a mop is unbelievable, it's pretty much useless and has enfuriated me since day 1. It's now in the rubbish. Wouldn't recommend at all and going back to the mop and bucket!

Pointless mop. Does not clean – Absolute waste of time it just moved it around and scratches your floor. There does not seem to be enough strips to create movement on the dirt. I would not bother even trying this mob out.

This is not the mop you are looking for – Got this mop thinking it would be good for pet hair and the fine sand that fills our home. It was not. Even after mopping two or three times if I let the baby crawl on the floor he is dirty and I feel like I have wasted an hour of my life. The handle where it connects is rusty and I have one that extends by twisting, which I always seem to manage… Read more
to untwist when trying to drain the water in the bucket and end up nearly falling over as the handle contracts. Do not waste your money.

Worst mop I have ever had – This would have to be the worst mop I have ever used. It does not clean the floor effectively at all. The only area that can remove dirt is right in the middle where the head attaches to the handle. It takes forever to mop a small section of floor. Very disappointing and I would not recommend. Ineffective
Wouldn't recommend – This mop doesn't lift grime or dirt off the floor. It simply swishes it around. It is very light and easy to use however being so light, it doesn't feel sturdy. I am pressing very hard as I mop to try and remove 'stuff' from my kitchen floor. I much prefer my old mop... unfortunately I threw it away and don't recall the brand! The mop head… Read more
squeezer is quite effective in getting rid of excess water.
I would not recommend this mop. The mop head squeezer is quite effective in getting rid of excess water. This mop doesn't lift grime or dirt off the floor. It simply swishes it around.
