Best cleaning mop Australia: Gold Coast inventor behind ‘game-changing’ Octomop wins best cleaning buy for 2024

The Gold Coast inventor behind a “game-changing” mop that shoppers love has been named the world’s best floor cleaning device and floor mop, as well as the world’s best pet mop, for 2024.

Mike — dubbed the “mop king” — devised Octomop as a solution to all your cleaning woes at home, and since then he has won a string of awards including this most recent one in China for the second year in a row.

What sets the pink and purple cleaning Octomop apart from every other spinning, twisting, clicking and microfibre device on the market is that it is so absorbent.

Described as “the world’s most absorbent mop”, the Octomop’s “Octo-Suction Technology” claims to cut through grease, grime and pet fur — in record time.

It also sweeps, mops and dries — so after you’ve cleaned you can walk on the area straight away.

The revolutionary mop — which has made its founder millions of dollars and been spotted by experts at Shark Tank — works on all surfaces including tiles, timber, floorboards and epoxy flooring.

And Mike says it will also stand up to the rigour of commercial cleaning in warehouses and on concrete floors.

Not only that but the Octomop, which comes with its own perfectly-fitting purple bucket, is also 100 per cent antibacterial and claims to never smell.

Those who have mopped with it seem to agree and there are thousands of five star reviews on the website.

“Great product and mighty tuff. Absolute game changer,” said one.

“Best mop I have ever seen and used. This mop will get a lot of use through my business and also at home. Extremely durable, very easy to use. Aussie made.”

“Best mop I’ve ever bought,” said another.

“Works superbly with pet hair and leaves floors looking new. Does a great job on all my floor boards, tiles and outside decking. Thank you Michael for the Aussie Octomop.”

Octomop was launched after Mike met eCommerce Founder, Aysha Sun, in regional Australia when he was fundraising for breast cancer patients during covid.

The pair sparked up a friendship which led the duo to working together on the Octomop project.

And it’s already a runaway success with sales of $1.2 million in just five months and now over $2.5 million.

“The Octomop is a real game changer allowing you the time to enjoy what’s important to you,” Mike told Best Picks.

“I guarantee that the Octomop will slash your cleaning time by 9/10 and you can mop a normal-sized home in under five minutes, 10 if you’re rich.”

He added: “You don’t need to vacuum before using it, this is a device from pet and messy children heaven. If you can think of the Octomop like a wet broom and not a mop, it will change your life!”

As well as the base model, Octomop boasts a variety of bundles and accessories which fans are nabbing before they sell out.

As well as cleaning products and clips to hang the mop up there are also options to buy mop head refills which are guaranteed for 12 months.

“Our mop head is in a league of its own,” it says.

“The unique Octo-Suction Technology allows for large areas of cleaning in a single squeeze of the Octomop.”

Pet owners also love how easy it is to get dog or cat fur up with the device.

“I have three dogs who sprinkle hair EVERYWHERE!!” said one review.

“I’d been using another brand of mop, but needed a heavy duty option to cope with our golden boy’s super-shedding .. I’m really impressed with my Octomop.

The Octomop is currently available in Australia and launching in New Zealand in March 2024.

It will later arrive in the UK in September and the USA in October 2024.
