You can absolutely use the Spin Mop as both a wet and dry mop. The mop head and poles are generally light in weight so you can use them to dust picture frames, ceiling fans, around windows and doors, etc. When you’ve done all the dusting work, simply fill the accompanying bucket with warm water and detergent and you can make short work of cleaning your floors. This versatility is what makes the spin mop system so great. You can take care of two undesirable chores with one tool and in half the time.
