I’m in my ‘weird’ mop era – and Joseph Joseph’s new sellout launch fits the bill perfectly (while also offering impressive cleaning power)

White painted kitchen with white cabinets and white tiled flooring, with an oven in the middle.

As it’s literally my day job to test floorcare tools and appliances, I’m under no illusion that these products often look the same. But when I learned of the brand-new Joseph Joseph UltraClean Microfibre Floor Mop Cleaning System (£80 at Joseph Joseph), it's fair to say that its alien-like appearance intrigued me.

My guide to the best mops already includes a Joseph Joseph mop that I rate very highly. But the UltraClean is a first from the innovative brand known for its space-saving, design-led products. It’s their first mop AND bucket set, to reimagine mopping so you’re only ever cleaning with clean water - instead of pushing dirt around.
