Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I needed a better way to wash my motorhome. I had been using a sponge floor mop and hose, which is a difficult and tiring way to wash when trying to hold both at the same time. I decided to order two of the AmazonCommercial products – the AmazonCommercial Flow-Through Car Wash Microfiber Mop, and the AmazonCommercial Flow-Through Car Wash Brush. This review covers both products since I feel that others might be interested in ordering both as I did.I like both products quite a bit, but there are improvements that could be made. None of these improvements warrant a downgrade in their rating. Attaching to a garden hose, both devices supply water through the handle directly onto the surface being washed. This simple design eliminates the need to continually spray water onto the surfaces in order to wash away dirt and debris. Of course, periodic rinsing of the mop head and brush head are required to ensure that dirt is not being ground into the surfaces. The microfiber mop head can be removed for washing, and it appears that there are generic replacement mop heads available that will fit. An improvement that I would like to see on both products is a water distribution channel built into the head rather than the current design where the water pours out of only one spot in the center of the brush head, and two spots near the center of the mop head. This change would allow water to flow more evenly over the surface being cleaned. Of course, such a system would be a bit more expensive to produce.Although the functionality of the handles is similar, the design of each handle is slightly different, but not enough to warrant commenting. Both handles are made of aluminum, have detachable heads, have a water shutoff valve at the base of the handle, and telescope by loosening a single coupler and adjusting the length then tightening the coupler. A standard garden hose attaches easily to the devices. Each includes a quick-coupler that can be used on hoses with this style of attachment.The devices create a watertight seal, and there are no drips coming from any connection. The amount of water that flows from the heads can be adjusted with either the hose pressure or, in the case of the mop, with its shutoff valve. The brush’s shutoff valve is not adjustable; it is either full on or off. An improvement would be to have an adjustable shutoff valve similar to the mop installed on the brush.The mop head is a soft, non-scratching, microfiber material. The brush head has soft bristles that I believe will not scratch, but care should still be taken anyway. One thing to keep an eye out for is that the mop becomes quite heavy when wet. When fully extended, I believe that the pole might bend if too much load is placed on it when horizontal. So do not shake it when horizontal. This is another improvement that should be made, a larger tube for the handle on the mop. The handle on the brush is already large enough.
This thing is solid and does the job. I have used them for the car, bathtub or even just picking up dust/spider webs. Handle isn’t your normal cheap handle and the head is fantastic.
Got this for car wash for the winter season. Avoid touch cold water. It’s easy to use and able to extend longer for bigger car. The wash mitten is able to remove.
We initially purchased this to wash our camper. It was a good idea to run water through the wand to rinse and scrub at the same time. We ultimately did not keep this as we preferred that one of us use the pressure washer to shoot the foam gun while the other would use a regular wash mitt wand to scrub the camper. Our ability to move around quickly was affected with the hose attached to the wand so we did not keep it on. I can see this being useful if you are washing the car by yourself. The mitt itself is made with super soft fabric and I don’t think it would scratch any surface if you keep it clean.

I am short so it is difficult for me to wash the top of my car. To reach the top, I have to stand on a step stool which isn't very safe when it's wet, or open the car door and stand inside my car while the door is open, which of course risks getting soap and water inside the car. I like this tool because the telescoping handle helps me wash the top easily while keeping my feet flat on the ground. This tool also lets me wash the lower portions of my car without stooping so much In general it makes quick work of washing a car.
The only negative is that it just takes some time to get used to using this. It felt a little awkward at first but I'm getting used to it. I think I prefer washing with hand mitts because I can feel the car better and it is easy to thoroughly wash areas that have curves and small indentations. This mop feels a little stiff for those types of areas since the head of the mop is rigid plastic with a shaggy microfiber mop covering. Still, though, it is a great way to wash the top of my car as well as the bulk of my car which is made up of fairly flat panels.
As far as the flow-through handle, I prefer not to use it hooked up to the water hose because the water flowing through just seems to wash away the soap from out of the mop when I am trying to suds up the car. So I have been wetting the mop in a bucket and then applying soap directly to the mop, then washing my car without water flowing through the mop. This just seems to work better for me, but maybe I'll change my mind as I learn the best way to use this.
Overall this telescoping car wash mop works great for me to reach higher spots on my car that I'm too short to reach, and lets me wash the lower portions of my car without stooping. I like the soft, thick microfiber mop cover because it is super soft and won't scratch my paint. It certainly adds a level of convenince when wahsing my car.

This review is for the AmazonCommercial Flow-Through Car Wash Microfiber Mop. It is a great car washing mop, and actually saves both time and body-aches when washing cars. It has a very soft and thick padded microfiber mop head that absorbs the water and sudsy soap to really allow you to scrub a car clean, while still protecting the finish. At it’s shortest length, the metal tube handle is around 37”, and extends fully up to 64”. That is over 5’ of reach, which means no more bending over or squatting to scrub the lower sections of a car, and fewer steps to wash from one end of the car to the other. It is also a much simpler task washing the top roofs of the car, especially for vehicles like full-sized SUVs and Vans. No more slippery and wet step ladders for me just to wash the top.
The mop head fabric is removal so that you can toss it in a washing machine to get it really clean in between car washings as needed. Plus the mop head itself actually unscrews loose and has a hand strap for whenever you prefer to wash without the metal extension handle.
The metal handle has 2 large padded grip areas for comfort and a secure grip, which are especially helpful when the handle gets wet.
The flow-through handle has an end nozzle where you can attach a water hose, and a turn control for opening and closing the water flow. This allows you to suds up and wash the car, and then rinse it, all with the same handle. Personally I prefer not using this particular feature because I want the mop head to stay really sudsy the entire time I’m washing the vehicle, and not get rinsed off in between washing sections of the car. It is just a personal preference, and I’m sure others will love this feature. For me, I just really like the overall design of this product, and how easy it makes it to wash a car more quickly, easily, and without having to constantly bend over or get on a ladder. Awesome product.
