Repair with plastic bottle

If your mop broke at the handle, you will need a plastic bottle and some screws. Follow these steps:

  1. Measure the level of the break and cut the top of the plastic bottle at that distance.
  2. Make holes around the cut bottle.
  3. Heat the tip of a screwdriver or use another tool to make the holes.
  4. Place the cut part of the bottle on the mop and tie it with the help of the same mop in the holes.
  5. Insert the broken handle into the mouth of the bottle and secure it with screws on both sides.
  6. Done! Your mop is now repaired and ready to use.
