Cuban Mop
My wife swears by this very Swiffer-like mop. It is basically a stick which you use to shove a towel around the floor with. The towels can then go in the wash.
The nice thing is that is uses very little liquid, so it can be used on laminates with (reasonable) safety. But the massive wave of towel seem to pick up debris quite well, and changing out your towel is far, far faster than with other replaceable head mops.

I received this mop as a gift and its the best mop I ever had! I have laminate floors and I just wring out a shamwa in fabioso. It does a beautiful job.

I have a cuban mop, but I can't get the cloth to stay on the "t-frame" I have tried rubber bands, bungie cords, etc. My frame just slides off the mop. How do you use it?

If you want the cloth to stay on the t mop make a small cross cut in the middle of the cloth and slide it over the mop and voila it stays.
My grandmother and mother used t mops and I've tried every method of cleaning (yea I've spent lots of $ on mops) and I always go back to this basic method of cleaning my tile floors. I've used different cloths and the best are the ones sold in latin grocery stores which are the thick cottony ones. Also, if you had a splash of white vinegar to your cleaning solution (I use the purple Fabuloso) it helps.

I agree with you. I think the idea of the mop is the best, but I can't seem to find the right way to keep the cloth on, so that is annoying. Did you have to make a hole in the cloth or is there the really right eay to do it? Thanks in advance if you know Eileen

The idea isn't that the towel stays on the head of the stick as an attachment but that you push the towel around with the T-head of the stick. It is not designed to stay on the head.
