Why the pad is in the centre
That is where the pole meets the head and where your weight goes when you lean on the handle. An abrasive strip round the edge would look busier and do nothing.

Anella Spin Mop Head Refills

People who say they hate their spin mop are usually still using the head it came with. That head is microfibre and nothing else — it glides over a dried-on mess and pushes it around, which is why you end up on your knees with a cloth anyway.
- A 15 cm scrub pad built into the centre of the microfibre
- Lifts and scrubs in the same pass — no kneeling with a cloth
- Machine washable and reusable, wet or dry
- Fits the O-Cedar EasyWring 1-tank spin bucket

Will it fit my mop
It fits the O-Cedar EasyWring 1-tank spin system — the red bucket with the foot pedal. The mount is the triangular clip that system uses.
Check your bucket before ordering: it does not fit other brands of spin mop, and the mounts are not interchangeable. Anella is not affiliated with or endorsed by O-Cedar.
How it cleans
The microfibre loops around the outside do what the stock head does — lift dust, hair and water. The 15 cm pad in the centre adds friction, so pressing down actually scrubs instead of smearing.
Because the pad is in the middle, it sits under your weight when you lean on the handle. That is the whole design.
Surfaces
Hardwood, tile, marble, stone, cement, vinyl, glass and bamboo. Also works on tubs, shower walls and skirting boards if you take the head off the pole.
On sealed wood, wring it out properly — damp, not soaked. That is a rule for any mop, not just this one.
Washing them
Machine or by hand. No fabric softener: it coats the microfibre and kills the pickup. Air dry rather than tumble dry.
Three in the pack is the point — one on the mop, one in the wash, one dry in the cupboard.
Why you end up on your knees
The head is the problem, not the mop
A spin mop is a good bucket and a wringer attached to a piece of microfibre. The bucket is fine. The microfibre is the part that gives up the moment something has dried on.
Loops absorb. They do not abrade. So the stock head lifts the water off the mark and leaves the mark.
-
Microfibre alone cannot scrub Loops are brilliant at absorbing and terrible at abrading. Against something dried on, the stock head lifts the water and leaves the mark.
-
The pad sits under your weight Fifteen centimetres of abrasive in the centre of the head — exactly where the pole meets it and exactly where you press when you lean on it.
-
So the second tool disappears No going back with a cloth, no kneeling on the kitchen floor for the one patch that would not come up.
Two ways to use it
Dry first, then wet
Most people fill the bucket and start mopping, which turns the hair and grit on the floor into a paste and spreads it about.
Run the same head over the floor dry first. It picks all of that up, and the water you then use stays clean far longer.
-
Dry: hair and dust Run it over the floor dry and the loops pick up hair, dust and grit before any water is involved. Half the job, no bucket.
-
Wet: grease and dirty water Soaked and wrung, it holds a lot of water and gives it back — and the pad works on whatever the water alone was never going to lift.
-
Then into the machine Normal wash, no fabric softener, air dry. Three in the pack means one is always clean and dry when you want it.

What buyers actually say
★★★★★I was about to replace the whole mop. Turns out it was the head that was useless, not the bucket.
Deborah H.Verified buyer
★★★★★Dried-on dog food used to mean a cloth and my knees. Now it comes up on the second pass.
Vanessa L.Verified buyer
★★★★★Clipped straight onto my existing bucket, no messing about.
Kim R.Verified buyer
★★★★★I use one dry first for the hair, then wet for the actual mopping. Two jobs, same head.
Louise P.Verified buyer
★★★★★Three of them means there is always a clean one. That sounds obvious and it changed my Sundays.
Aminata C.Verified buyer
★★★★★Came up fine in the machine. Do not use fabric softener on them though, I learned that the hard way.

Every detail has a reason
Why microfibre stays around it
The loops are still the best thing there is for lifting water, dust and hair. The pad is not there to replace them — it is there to add the one thing they cannot do.
Why the mount is triangular
Because the head has to stay on while the bucket spins it at speed. A round mount slips; the triangle cannot rotate against the plate.
Why three and not one
One on the mop, one in the wash, one dry in the cupboard. A single head means either mopping with a damp one or not mopping.
Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my spin mop?
It fits the O-Cedar EasyWring 1-tank system — the red bucket with the foot pedal — using that system's triangular mount.
It does not fit other brands of spin mop. Check your bucket before ordering. Anella is not affiliated with or endorsed by O-Cedar.
How is it different from the head that came with my mop?
The stock head is microfibre loops only. This one has a 15 cm scrub pad woven into the centre, so it abrades as well as absorbs.
Will the pad scratch my floors?
It is a textile pad, not a wire one. It is used on hardwood, marble, tile, stone, cement, vinyl, glass and bamboo. On anything polished or delicate, try a corner first — sensible with any new pad.
Can I use it dry?
Yes, and it is worth doing. Dry it picks up hair, dust and grit, which means the water you then use stays cleaner for longer.
How do I wash them?
Machine or by hand, normal detergent. No fabric softener — it coats microfibre and kills the pickup. Air dry rather than tumble dry.
How long does one last?
Months of regular use per head, and you have three, so the rotation stretches that out considerably. They go when the loops start to flatten.
Does it fit the wringer?
Yes, it is sized to the same 36 cm head the system is built around, so it spins and wrings the way the original does.
Can I use it on walls and tubs?
Yes. Take the head off the pole for tubs and shower walls, or leave it on for skirting boards and the tops of doors.
