I know the Swiffer has taken over the market, but I need to know where to purchase the "old fashioned dust mops"? None of the stores I checked carry them any more.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Have you checked a Home Depot/Lowe's type store? I was in Home Depot a few months ago, and came across what seemed like a large assortment of brooms/brushes/mops/dusters.
And Target has a nice selection, too. I feel like I've seen one recently where you remove the dust cover and toss it in the washer (don't remember if it was cotton or microfiber). Don't look by the floor cleaning and other solutions (that's where you'll find the Swiffer disposable things), but instead kind of where they have laundry baskets. Somewhere near there they have sponges, cleaning cloths, and nearby should be mops and dusters.
Best of luck! Hope you get a good one that lasts a long time!
I have an old Stanley dust mop....40 years old still a great dust mop...i need one more for the sunroom...they beat suffer all to pieces
I have a stanley wool dust mop years old I wonder do they have one for hardwood floors?
I have a Stanley wool dust mop that I have used on my hardwood floors for 48 years next month. (Got it as a wedding gift in 1971.)
I don't use anything else on my hardwood.
Do you have a picture of it? Im trying to see if its the same one my mother used back then. Thanks so much.
If you have Dollar Tree Stores near you, look there. Dust mops are available in the one in my area.
O Cedar has a microfiber 'Performer' dust mop set-Ck O cedar on the webb-
I bought a mophead and 3 refills at Target
I use them to dry dust and another to wet mop my ceramic tile floors and then throw it into the washer
I bought 3 because I was afraid they would stop making them
Find out if you have a Stanley or Fuller Brush dealer in your neighborhood. Also, go on line for these companies. I was a Stanley dealer and my dust mop is 30yrs. old and still going. Hope this helps.
Online shopping is a real sleazy way to shop...only because the pass two years i have been hyjacked from what i intended to order. As in Stanley's fuller brush as soon as the online shows none available at this time. Another site jumps in to take you to their cheap finds. Nothing what you wanted. In the mail i received a flat cardboard box woyh handle in it. Next six very long mop heads. The wooden handle sent alone. Is for old fashion mop heads. I thought i was ordering. Now i have to send back i can not carry the box. For it is in another box all from this Amazon prime i feel i was byjacked by this Amazon who propably charges fees without your knowledge. This makes me angry for now shipping and handling plus this Amazon Prime i think is a fee for twenty dollars but i am not sure. I just know they took over my shopping. As in the government does since call a midwife started back then now is a full time job for all these strangers into your life. As in spies on your time where ever you seem to be....its outrageous.....bad online shopping for two years of not receiving what i was shopping for....
If you have an ACE hardware near you & haven't, try them. I've had some success in finding the oddball, not in high demand things there.
Thank you to all the readers who responded to my request for purchasing a dust mop. Will check out most of them next week.
Thanks again.
I needed one and since I couldn't find one, I just used a cotton wet mop, dry of course, but it worked. The one I purchased had a smaller mop head. I guess you could always trim it to make it shorter. I think I paid $2 for it at Family Dollar.
Whatever you do don't buy anything from Libman I bought so many and wasted so much money they're all crap & and last about 6 to 8 weeks
I also am looking for an old fashion dustbmop. The one I have needs to be thrown away. I Dont like the swiffer products very much. I would like to have the exact duplicate of the one that I have which is the OCedar brand. Closest I Found online is at Walmart but Imhave not found this in the store.
If you're looking for an old fashioned dust mop made in the USA, here is an image of one. Requires no duster spray. Very effective.
Here is the product page link to the dust mop.

I would like to find and buy another old-fashioned dust mop like I used years ago on all my floors.
By Lillian
I think I have seen them on vermontcountry store.com
I have one that I purchased from Old Time Pottery in Wilmington, NC. They have stores all over so there may be one in your area. It is just like the one in the picture except mine is blue. The cost was than $10.00. You can remove the mop and wash it.
This is a picture of my dust mop from Old Time Pottery.
