How to Change a Rubbermaid PVA Mop

The Rubbermaid Super Absorbent Roller Mop features an absorbent sponge created from a material called polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). PVA allows the mop head to absorb and retain water, which reduces the amount of water that settles onto your floor as a result of mopping. You can also use the mop to dry up spills. The Rubbermaid Super Absorbent Roller Mop offers a replaceable sponge that you may change once it becomes dirty or worn.
