If you want a properly clean house, then you should invest in the best tools for the job. Fortunately, there are plenty of great options out there for both sweeping and mopping any type of floor. Prices vary, but you can be sure that you’re getting only the best in each area with any of these entries.

This list gives you the name and most notable features and characteristics of the best mops and sweepers we could find out there, but getting the best deal on them is up to you!

O-Cedar Microfiber Cloth Mop w/ Extendable Handle

A traditional floor mop can be a trusted ally precisely because it doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles since you can just pick it up and get to cleaning in seconds. This is also where the O-Cedar Microfiber Cloth Mop shines brighter than most mops since it’s suitable for all types of tile, but also hardwood, vinyl, and linoleum floors thanks to its very gentle head that can be washed up to 100 times. It’s also a really an affordable option, but don’t expect to use it for heavy-duty tasks.

Shark rechargeable floor and carpet sweeper

This cordless sweeper is very good at getting dust and debris out of carpets and makes the generally not-so-fun chore of sweeping into a very stress-free experience. With a container capacity of 1.8qt, it will take a few rounds of light cleaning before you have to empty the tank, which makes up for its 20-minute battery life. The design makes it very easy to sweep on both carpet and floors, and the edge-cleaning squeegee means that you won’t have any trouble picking up debris from the wall. The only real issue (and we mean that lightly) is that it’s just slightly heavier and louder than the average sweeper.

Twist & Shout Spin Mop

This mop is not only extremely popular and well-recommended mop, but it’s also an actual award-winning tool. Spin mops rotate their heads at high speed to, well, spin water out of them, usually activated through a hand lever; the T&S uses hand wringing action, however, which means there are fewer parts on the mop that can fail after prolonged use. Their absorbent, washable microfiber heads can be used for traditional mopping or for dry mopping, making it also one of the best dust cleaning products. The replacement heads are also very affordable.

SWSMAX Max Cordless Swivel Sweeper from OnTel Products

With brushes that spin at 4000 rpm, this cordless and rechargeable sweeper is a cleaning beast. First; the flat, low profile design makes it an excellent cleaner for those hard-to-reach areas under tables, couches and other furniture, meaning that you don’t have to turn the house upside down every time you sweep. Second; you can remove, clean and reuse the bristles, meaning that you don’t have to worry about cumbersome bags or tanks, and that you won’t have to replace the bristles for a long time.

Bissell 1940 Powerfresh Steam Mop

Both sturdier and finer than most steam mops, the Bissell 1940 more than makes up for its slightly higher price (around $88-$110) with its superior qualities and features. Aside from killing 99.9% of germs, viruses and bacteria without using harsh chemicals, it has a customizable steam control that lets you adjust the cleaning power. The tank is removable and easy to fill, and it includes Febreze fragrance discs that you can use (or not) to give your cleaning a little more punch with a fresh aroma. The Bissell 1940 is still one of the best mops for hardwood floors (if they’re properly sealed) because it prevents the scratching that can come from sweeping them.

LIGHT ‘N’ EASY Electronic Floor Sweeper

An ergonomic and reliable option, the double roller brushes are powerful, easy to use and run quietly, while the adjustable handle pole can be locked at different heights for comfort; this, along with its foot-controlled power button means that you can sweep from start to finish while standing upright. The dust container is magnetically held in place, meaning that emptying it is very easy to do, and a 40 minute of cordless sweeping in one charge means that, depending on how much you use it, you can probably squeeze two cleaning sessions out of it before needing a recharge. Without a doubt, the LIGHT ‘N’ EASY was made for comfort.

Mopping and sweeping are similar, but definitely not the same, and you have to be mindful of what tools you use for each depending on the type of floor or carpet you have if you want to keep it in good shape. The above options are all the all-around top choices in both fields, and will satisfy most people regardless of their cleaning needs, so it’s all a question of how convenient you want your housekeeping to be, since the most convenient option doesn’t even include you doing any sweeping.
