If you think all mops are the same, you likely need a new one because this necessary cleaning tool comes in many different guises. Some are meant for dry mopping, others have self-wringing designs or use steam to clean. They're constantly being redesigned for efficiency, with most modern mops featuring microfiber cloths that grip onto dirt to help you quickly get the job done.
Meanwhile, a good vacuum is quiet and tucks itself seamlessly out of sight — in your closet, behind the stairs, or wherever you choose to store your cleaning supplies.
