The flat platform lets you press a damp cotton cloth firmly against the floor for real scrubbing, then flip to the dry side to dry the floor in the same pass. American sponge and string mops leave floors wet for 5–10 minutes; the Cuban method has them dry in seconds. Better for tile, terrazzo, polished concrete, and hardwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoak a frasada in your cleaning bucket (water + Fabuloso, Pine-Sol, or your preferred floor cleaner)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWring it out by hand to damp — not soaking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFold the cloth and place it flat under the mop's T-base\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMop in long pulling strokes — the cloth grips the floor and scrubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhen the wet side is dirty, flip the cloth, or grab the other one\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor the final pass, use a dry cloth to dry the floor instantly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine-wash the cotton cloths in hot water with bleach for white cloths.
