The specially designed grippers on the underside enable it to hold a cleaning pad firmly in place as you clean. The compact, 180 degree swivel style allows you to clean areas that are particularly difficult to reach. Plus, it can be paired with any standard threaded handle to give you a longer range for hard-to-reach places, such as floors or the tops of your walls. It can also be used without a handle simply to provide a better grip while scrubbing.
