Spray mops all make the same offer: a bottle on the pole, a lever in the handle, a flat microfiber pad, and no bucket. OXO's Good Grips version adds one mechanism the others mostly lack. Step on a pedal at the head and a scrubber slides out from under the pad, so a dried coffee ring or a patch of tracked-in mud gets abrasion instead of another pass of mist. It costs $39.99 on oxo.com under SKU 12422900.
The rest is standard and well made on paper: a steel pole, a refillable bottle with measurement marks so you can dilute a concentrate, and a head that pivots to get under a sofa. What OXO does not tell you is how big any of it is. OXO's page gives a weight of 3.12 lb and no other number, which is unusual for a brand that normally lists dimensions, and it shapes how confidently anyone can recommend the mop for a specific floor.
Our verdict
A sensible $39.99 spray mop whose one real trick, a pedal-released scrubber, addresses the dried spill that stops most flat mops cold; buy it for apartments and sealed floors, and accept that OXO publishes almost no dimensions.
- A good fit for
- Someone with sealed hard floors in a small to mid-size home who wants to mix their own cleaner and skip the bucket.
- We would skip it if
- You have large tile areas with deep grout, want a measured pad size before ordering, or prefer a mop head you can wring.
Reasons to consider it
- Slide-out scrubber released by a foot pedal, so stuck-on spots do not need a second tool
- Refillable bottle with measurement markings stores on the pole and takes any solution you choose
- Machine-washable microfiber head; pad refill $11.99 and scrubber 2-pack $8.99 from the maker
The compromises
- OXO lists no pad width, bottle capacity or pole length, only a 3.12 lb weight
- A spray mop applies a thin mist, so heavy grime or grout lines still call for a bucket
- The head pivots but is a flat pad; wet spills need a wring-out mop or towels first
What we have not verified: The mop was not run across a floor for this piece. Spray pattern, lever effort, how the scrubber pad wears, bottle capacity and the pole's assembled length are all unconfirmed because OXO does not publish them.
The things in this guide
A closer look at the products, who they may suit, and what to check before buying.
Good Grips Microfiber Spray Mop
A refillable marked bottle on a steel pole, a pivoting microfiber head that goes in the washing machine, and a pedal-released scrubber for the spots a spray mop normally skips, at $39.99 with cheap refills.
Before you buy: No published pad size, bottle volume or pole length, and a mist-and-wipe mop is the wrong tool for grout or standing water.

The mop works like every spray mop: fill the bottle, clip it to the pole, and squeeze the lever in the handle to send cleaner onto the floor ahead of the pad. OXO says the lever dispenses evenly and that the bottle carries measurement markings, which matters if you use a concentrate that wants a specific ratio. The bottle stores on the pole itself, so there is no separate part to lose between cleanings. Nothing in the copy requires OXO cleaner in the bottle, and the marked bottle suggests the opposite.
The scrubber is where the design departs from the pack. A stiff pad sits inside the head; step on the pedal and it slides forward past the microfiber so you can work at a dried spot, then slides back and the microfiber takes over again. The maker calls the scrubber detachable and sells it as a refill pair for $8.99, which means the abrasive part is treated as a consumable and not as a feature that quietly wears out.
A pivoting washable head, a steel pole, and no dimensions
The microfiber head pivots to reach under and around furniture and the pad goes in the washing machine; OXO's care line is just that the head is machine washable and the bottle should be rinsed. The pole is described as heavy-duty steel, which is heavier than aluminum but stiffer under a scrubbing load. The complete mop weighs 3.12 lb, and that is the only measurement on the page.
The gaps are real. There is no pad width, so you cannot judge how many passes a kitchen takes, no bottle capacity, so you cannot estimate refills per room, and no pole length or note on whether it assembles in sections. The replacement pad is $11.99 under SKU 12171000 and is labeled microfiber, again without a size. For a $39.99 purchase none of this is disqualifying, but a buyer with a specific closet or a very large floor should treat the missing numbers as grounds to buy from a store with easy returns.
The Better Guarantee, and what a receipt buys you
OXO covers the mop under its general guarantee: if the product fails from a defect in material or workmanship in ordinary home use, and it was cared for as the instructions say, the brand will replace it or refund it. The page excludes Brew appliances, some Tot items, bakeware, cookware and knives, none of which touch a mop. Two conditions do apply. You need to keep the item until the claim is resolved, and a receipt from the original seller is required for any refund. Claims start from a form linked on the guarantee page.
Returns for a change of mind go through customer service or the self-service order returns link, with replacement or refund offered; the FAQ does not state a day limit or a restocking fee, so ask before shipping. Ground orders arrive in 5 to 10 business days. A mop that turns out to be the wrong width for a hallway is a satisfaction problem, not a defect, and the maker's wording treats those two cases the same way, which is generous compared with a strict warranty.
Refills are cheap enough that the pad is not the decision
A spray mop's real cost is the pad. OXO prices the microfiber refill at $11.99 and the scrubber two-pack at $8.99, and because the pad is machine washable, a household could run two pads in rotation for years on a $24 outlay. Compared with disposable-sheet mops, where the sheets are the business model, this is the cheaper system once a few months have passed even at a $39.99 entry price.
The other running cost is the cleaner, and here the refillable bottle is the point. You can use diluted floor concentrate, a vinegar solution, or plain water on a sealed floor, and the measurement marks make the dilution repeatable. What you cannot do is use the mop as a wet mop; the pad picks up what the mist loosens, so a spilled glass of juice still needs a towel before the mop comes out.
Skip it if your floor needs a bucket
A spray mop is a maintenance tool for floors that are mostly clean. If you have a large tiled kitchen with grout that darkens, a mudroom that sees boots, or unsealed wood that should barely be dampened, a mist-and-pad tool will either underclean or overwet, and a wringable mop with a bucket is the better purchase. The scrubber helps with a dried spot but will not restore grout.
Also pass if dimensions decide the purchase. OXO has left pad width, bottle volume and pole length off the page, and for a tall user or a narrow closet that is a gamble. For everyone with sealed floors in a normal-sized home, the $39.99 mop with a pedal scrubber and cheap washable refills is a reasonable default, and the guarantee makes a wrong guess recoverable.
