I got the Ocedar mop & bucket, and I see that the dirty mop is supposed to get dipped & wrung out in to the clean water in the bucket?? Is this how it's supposed to work? Basically mop with dirty water?
Am I missing something?

You’re always mopping with dirty water technically. Unless you make two buckets? The point is how well it wrings it out and doesn’t make the floor a watery mess. I like it for my vinyl flooring which is never supposed to be saturated in water

All mops are like this except for the newest o-cedar.

Till now I mopped with a rag attached to the mop & kept on changing the rag. I spilled a bit of soapy water on the floor & mopped. But I wanted an easier solution. Why did I think that this has a separate compartment where the dirty water goes?

This takes up a lot of room. In brooklyn tiny apartment I found I had to get rid of it instead of letting it take up so much valuable floor space. I also found that unless I turned it over and took the blue piece out it was hard to drain out the dirty water when done mopping.

I don't find the water gets so dirty?
I fill up with clean soapy water.
Wring then mop , I probably dip.and Wring twice more and the water is not so dirty at all
Not sure why maybe I mop often? Maybe my house is small?

I have the regular one and I put a cheap bucket inside for the clean water because I didn't want to wash my floors with drty water either.

This is a good idea, I think I'll do this.
I was trying to push a bucket under the wringer, but it didn't fit. This makes more sense, Thank you!!

I was thinking this is exactly what I need, but given that my ordinary bucket just barely fits in my undersink cabinet, and then only if I place it just so, it's clear that this hasn't a prayer of fitting. You just saved me about $50, so thanks for your review!
For a time I used a bucket and a basin, the basin being for wringing out dirty water and the bucket for clean. Was too much of a tircha and I gave that up.

In my one floor Brooklyn unit, I use a collapsible bucket and flat pad mop with lots of replacement pads. I can change the pads multiple times throughout mopping and don't need to use dirty mops or water, and then throw them into a sanitizing cycle in the washer.
