O-Cedar EasyWring Spin Mop & Bucket System: Foot-Pedal Wringing

The O-Cedar EasyWring Spin Mop & Bucket System is designed around one practical upgrade over a traditional string mop: you control how wet the mop stays with a foot pedal instead of wringing the head by hand. The model here is the red-and-gray original EasyWring, model 153185, with a single bucket rather than RinseClean's separate clean- and dirty-water tanks.

The value is in that repeated cleaning step: rinse the mop, move the head into the wringer and use the pedal to remove water before returning to the floor. The reusable microfiber head and telescoping handle make it a complete manual system, rather than an attachment for a bucket you already own. Choose the original EasyWring for pedal control; choose a different design if keeping clean and dirty water in separate tanks is essential.

The foot pedal is the main reason to choose EasyWring

With the mop head sitting in the built-in wringer basket, pressing the pedal spins out excess water. O-Cedar recommends roughly five to seven pedal pumps when you want to control how damp the mop remains. That means you can reduce water without grabbing and twisting a wet microfiber head.

Moisture control matters on hard floors because more water is not always better. O-Cedar lists sealed hardwood, hardwood, tile, laminate and vinyl among supported surfaces. The triangular microfiber head also helps reach corners, while the handle extends to 4.25 feet, or 51 inches.

The benefit is mechanical simplicity rather than automation. There is no motor, battery or disposable cleaning pad required for the wringing system. The tradeoff is that you still carry, fill and empty a full mop bucket.

This is the single-bucket EasyWring, not RinseClean

O-Cedar describes the original EasyWring as its single-bucket spin mop. Its RinseClean system is the model that uses separate clean- and dirty-water chambers. That distinction matters before buying.

With EasyWring, the foot pedal makes wringing cleaner and easier, but it does not keep a fresh-water reservoir isolated from dirty rinse water. If separating clean and dirty water throughout the entire mopping session is a priority, the RinseClean is the better O-Cedar comparison.

The simpler bucket has an upside: fewer chambers and parts to manage, plus a lower typical price. For quick everyday floor cleaning, buyers may prefer that simplicity. For larger or dirtier jobs where repeated rinsing matters more, the single-bucket design is the biggest compromise.

The washable microfiber head reduces disposable-pad waste

O-Cedar says the included microfiber mop head can be machine- or hand-washed and reused. The company recommends avoiding bleach and fabric softener, then laying the head flat to dry. Replacement heads are also sold separately.

O-Cedar makes a specific bacteria-removal claim that needs the fine print: the microfiber head removes, rather than kills, more than 99% of E. coli and Staph. aureus from pre-finished hardwood and ceramic tile using tap water, based on testing by an independent accredited lab. That claim should not be generalized to every germ, floor or cleaning condition.

The reusable head is a meaningful buying advantage if you want to avoid constantly buying disposable pads. The bucket still needs to be rinsed and allowed to dry before storage, so this is reusable cleaning gear rather than a maintenance-free system.

Who should buy the O-Cedar EasyWring Spin Mop?

EasyWring fits households that want a traditional wet-mop workflow with better moisture control and no hand-wringing. It is especially useful across mixed sealed hard floors, in homes where a washable microfiber head matters, and for buyers who prefer a simple mechanical system over powered floor cleaners.

Skip it if you want clean and dirty water separated into different tanks, a smaller tool that can hang in a closet without a bucket, or a spray mop that avoids carrying water from room to room. The bucket itself takes storage space, and dirty water remains part of the same original EasyWring bucket system.

For the right buyer, the value is straightforward: a foot-pedal wringer keeps hands off the wet mop head, a reusable triangular microfiber head reaches corners, and the 51-inch telescoping handle adjusts for the job. Choose it for that simple routine if a single bucket meets your cleaning needs.
