This is exactly the type of trade that will disappear overnight if UKIP get us out of the EU.
No messing - first day of an independent UK and watch the tariffs on 100% cotton mop heads for EU use rise to 350% or more (it's already been debated in the Bundestag).
Kleeneze have confirmed they expect to have to lay off ZERO workers as a result - that's a massive difference to all those indentured 'manual domestic cleansing operatives' relying on this key British industry.
But try telling that to these petty little-Britisher thinkers.
Thankfully Vince Cable has fully costed policy for re-booting online mop apps. Bless.
You're totally wrong, this is precisely WHY we should leave the EU. Let them charge 350% MOP duty if they like, in the UK we will reduce MOP duty for Chinese imports to 10%. The UK will see a Mop sale boom as Europeans use cheap ferry deals to cross the channel and fill up there car boots with cheap mops.

Won't happen - we're stuck making left-handed twist heads, yer continentals only use right-handed twist. We'd be stuffed. Again.The Chinese mop heads are not the answer - we need a strong UK mop industry that can meet or exceed the best the europeans can manage.
Write to your MP demanding government support for mop-twist-apprenticeships in all sixth form colleges from September.
There's always the empire - they'll buy our mops!

Don't count on it. I can see the mopheads going the same way as the ragheads.Timmy35 said:

Don't count on it. I can see the mopheads going the same way as the ragheads.As Viscount of India, Admiral Lord Mountmoppen said: "They don't like it up 'em".

Has anyone compared the performance of their mop using supermarket own brand floor cleaner vs branded floor cleaner?
Listen. You should know by now, unless you can talk 'trade', your opinion ain't worth jack round here.Strictly Bookers or Shah C&C Enterprises.
It's all very well having a top class mop, you may even use the the two bucket wash method - but if your cleaning fluid just isn't doing the job (or over doing the job and stripping the skirting of paint) then you may as well chuck your mop in a skip, get down on your knees and use a rag!
Rope style mops require a completely different liquid to Valida style mops.
The amount of liquid each can hold can have a differential of 200% and therefore the consistency and strength of the cleaning fluid needs to be considered.
Over sudding is often something semi-pro moppers have a problem with and you'll often here them blaming it on - a new mop head, an old mop head or the fact that it was a tiled floor rather than a wooden floor. More often than not the mop head (unless totally worn) will usually perform adequately on most surfaces if the cleaning fluid has been matched to the substrate.
But there are floor cleaning fluids and floor cleaning fluids - some will sud without cleaning, others will simply rot the mop head (and don't forget some are more child and pet friendly than others!)
In short mop heads need to be matched to a cleaning fluid - failure to do so will result in amateur finishes .... it's all in the detail!

Just wondering how the OP's venture is going? Have you cleaned up or hit a sticky patch?
Another sticky patch. 
They tend to appear every so often. Usually when I've been looking at ladies jumping around, naked, on things.
12" handle, with a head of 'real feel' labia-like strands for quick clean up of small messes.
By this time next year, Rodney...
