Mop accessory AWTools AW23701 water squeegee head 450 mm, model AW23701

The AWTools AW23701 water squeegee head is a 450 mm replacement mop accessory designed for removing water and heavy dirt from smooth floors. Its galvanized steel frame resists rust and the working part consists of a double foam strip permanently riveted to the frame. The head accepts a standard handle socket for shaft attachment and is supplied without a shaft, making it compatible with most handles on the market. Lightweight and compact, it is intended for quick drying of hard surfaces in homes, offices and commercial spaces.

Advantages

Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance while the double foam working element ensures efficient water pickup and dirt removal. The foam is permanently riveted to the frame for durability, and the universal handle socket allows use with commonly available handles. The 450 mm width offers a balance between coverage and manoeuvrability for indoor and outdoor surfaces.

Suitable for

• Removing water from decks, driveways and patios
• Drying floors in warehouses, production plants and car washes
• Quick cleanup of spills in homes and offices
• Mopping and rinsing hard, smooth surfaces

When it may not be suitable

This water squeegee head is designed for smooth, hard surfaces and may not perform well on highly textured, uneven or porous floors where foam cannot make uniform contact. It is supplied without a shaft, so a compatible handle must be obtained separately if not already available.

Key specifications

• Working width: 450 mm
• Frame material: galvanized steel (rust resistant)
• Working element: double foam, permanently riveted
• Handle attachment: standard socket for shaft (shaft not included)
• Weight: approximately 180 g

How to use

Attach a compatible handle to the socket on the head, ensuring it is securely seated. Use the squeegee to push water and debris across the floor surface toward a drain or collection area, applying steady pressure so the double foam maintains contact with the floor. Rinse or replace the foam element as needed during prolonged use and allow the head to dry after cleaning to prolong its service life.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 450 mm width suits the areas you will clean
• Confirm you have or can obtain a compatible handle — the product is sold without a shaft
• Intended for smooth, hard surfaces; avoid highly textured or uneven floors

Usage recommendations

For best results, use firm, even strokes and empty collected water frequently. After use, rinse the foam element and allow the head to dry to prevent microbial growth and extend lifespan.
