Dust mop heads wear out; frames should not. This 18 x 5 in. wire dust mop frame is the standard steel skeleton that carries an 18 in. dust mop head across tile, VCT, polished concrete, and hardwood. The welded one-piece wire construction keeps the head flat and square against the floor, and the frame snaps into a standard clip-on swivel handle so the mop pivots around desks, racking, and doorways without lifting off the floor.
Use cases
Janitorial crews use 18 in. frames for classrooms, offices, restrooms, and other tight interior spaces where a 36 or 48 in. mop cannot maneuver. Facility teams keep spare frames so laundering mop heads never idles a cart. Gyms and studios pair the 18 x 5 frame with treated dust heads for daily floor dusting between wet cleans. Because the size is an industry standard, the frame works with virtually any brand of 18 x 5 cut-end, looped-end, or microfiber dust mop head.

Frequently asked questions
Does this frame come with a handle or mop head?
No, it is the frame only. It accepts any standard clip-on dust mop handle, such as our item DHAN60, and any standard 18 x 5 in. dust mop head.
Will it fit mop heads from other brands?
Yes. The 18 x 5 in. wire frame is an industry-standard size, so it fits standard cotton, blended, and microfiber dust heads from any major manufacturer.
How does the head attach to the frame?
The mop head slips over the frame like a pocket and secures with its own ties or snaps, keeping the head taut for full floor contact.
When should I choose an 18 in. frame over a wider one?
Use 18 in. for congested areas: classrooms, offices, restrooms, and elevators. Wider frames cover open corridors faster but cannot thread between furniture.
