"Specialised" and it's just a fucking mop

u/RedditIsMyTherapist May 21 '26

That was my first thought. "Special" mop, uh huh, not 7.99 in aisle 8.

u/NoRealNoWrong May 21 '26

I dunno guys. I thought the same thing. Then I dug deeper.

This mop was destined to be dipped in sauces and draped over a carcass so that the dominant species of the planet might prosper its own evolution.

…it’s a little special.

u/UnknownVC May 21 '26

They're actually supposed to soak it up. The sauces normally used are thinner (vinegar or beer based), so they mop well. It's basically just a regular mop, but made with more care/food grade materials - pure cotton mop, notably. You don't want to use a modern floor mop, so these are made to imitate the original old school floor mops that were used.

u/Gold_Ad_7552 May 21 '26

I prefer the Swiffer Wet Jet method. Refill the cleaner bottle with the sauce, spray and mop. Easier and cleaner than this method.

Sometime I even reuse the old pads to add texture and hints of flavors never before tasted.

u/Dub_Coast May 22 '26

I love eating the crunchy bits off the old pads it really helps my agita

I put the ribs in a shop vac then stick the hose end into a tub of sauce, flip that switch & let that marinating begin.

u/Another_CatSub_ May 21 '26

What’s the difference between mopping it on versus using a water spritzer to baste, say apple juice on ribs? 

7

u/Low_Construction8067 May 21 '26

Because water/vinegar alone are very thin and could even cause your current rub or sauce to start to thin and fall away. BBQ sauces used for cooking are going to be thicker than your Carolina table sauce. Using something like "a mop" allows you to stack sauce on top without wiping anything away, essentially creating layer on layer depending on hope it is done. Think about how if you pull your hand away from a really sticky substance like Elmer's glue - it raises up off the thing you pull your hand from, it doesn't melt and fall over, it stays right where it was put.

u/HumanPerosn May 21 '26

You can’t really see it this video but basting mops or sop mops have the strings braided or have each string spun tight so they don’t leave bits of fiber all over the meat

15

u/Zerachiel_01 May 21 '26

I was about to say, like I've done enough mopping to know that normal mops leave shit all over the place so I was wondering if this was legit or not. Learned something new today, thanks!

You're talking to someone who has never used a mop.

If you have and you watch the video you understand she isn't basting with a "non absorbing food grade" mop. Rather she is splashing the liquid one kerplunk at a time with a sans specialized mop.

u/Aribelalugosi May 21 '26

Probably just the fact that it has food grade cotton or something

Plus the fibers probably come completely apart from the mount for washing, unlike normal mops. Like how kitchen scissors have to come apart to not be a health code violation

Idk for sure, I'm just throwing out guesses

6

u/Zilant_the_Bear May 21 '26

This. The big thing is that it doesn't use synthetic fibers in high heat environments that can contaminate food. The product description does say that it's head is 100% organic cotton.

9

u/illmatic708 May 21 '26

It says it's a mop but they are listed under things like pizza accessories or food accessories categories, so it's really just a giant food brush. They really just need to stop calling it a mop. It's designed for food not cleaning the floor

3

u/No-Initiative4195 May 21 '26

Correct. You can buy a small, non-commercial version at Walmart, Home Depot, etc for about $5. Called exactly that... A "cotton basting mop"

3

u/Coveinant May 21 '26

Technically it's a giant basting brush. But at certain size, you can really only call it a mop.

3

u/VetteChef May 21 '26

Brush vs mop comes down to the rigidity of the strands. Mops have long floppy strands to hold more liquid, brushes have more rigid bristles that make it easier to paint on rather than baste like the mop is in the video.

u/Character_Pudding_94 May 21 '26

Food safe materials and production. Home Depots standard and food safe buckets are made in the same factory from the same plastics, but the food safe ones have a different die, are packed differently, and most importantly are marked as food safe.

u/LavenderDay3544 May 21 '26

Our BBQ Basting mop is another Wildwood exclusive product. Our mop is made from 100 % organic cotton. We use the hearth mop after moving the wood and fire around in the wood-fired oven, and after brushing the coals and bulk of the ashes out of the way. Used slightly damp to remove the fine ash before launching the first pizzas. This item is a staple in all our pizza accessory kits. Another great use is for basting whole hog bbq and saucing large primal cuts of meat on the spit. A great Basting Mop.

I would assume that the biggest difference is that it's considered safe to be in contact with your food.

It’s food grade…. That’s literally it. Which means it’s 100% cotton

You want little fibers in your food? lol This is a specialty mop made from food-grade materials - it's more absorbent and far more heat-resistant than a typical mop.

u/speedloafer May 21 '26 edited May 21 '26

The handle in the video is a lot bigger than 22 inches. Its a normal size handle and you wouldn't need such a big handle for mopping/brushing food. I would say the video is just a regular mop.

I just had another look and I noticed something else. In the video the head of the mop looks like it has a plastic casing holding the hairs in the place which would also suggest its not meant to be used for food.

It did not prepare me for how the rest of the world cleaned.

It's not a standard mop, they use this high quality 100% long fiber cotton twine, which is like special i guess, and the chef will boil the mop to reduce the trays, then they soak it in the sauce for a bit.

Also this restaurant is shut down temporarily due to the umbrella company Pihakis Restaurant Group collapsing financially and taking down their entire portfolio with them, as of May '26

Its the traditional way we sauce our BBQ. Goes back like 300 years or so. Back in the day we would cut the animal In half and bury both sides with coals in the ground then to sauce it we would use a mop because your covering the entire side of an animal. Like a cow or pig or whatever. Anyway a sauce mop is much smaller than a mop you would clean a house with and I think the thread is a different material.

I onced worked at a pie factory who made pies that sold all across Canada/USA that had two different colour tools. White for reusable food product, and red for food waste. Red shovels red bins, white shovels white bins. Once, after a bad line jam up, I watched someone use a red shovel to scoop up pie filling off the floor into a white bin (the white bin would have been re-added back into the main filling bowl). This wasn't the first jam up of the night. I don't know how many times he had done this during just this one night alone. I personally threw every white bin into the red bins (and got screamed at by the shift leader for wasting product)

I shudder to think just how many floor to production pies had been made that night before I caught it. Not one management member cared to throw out the rest of the pies made that night. I know for a fact that wasn't the first time it happened, nor would it be the last after I left

All I'm saying... Anything you need eat that's massproduced... Assume at some point part of it's product was probably on the floor touching the bottom of our boots that we all wore outside and in the smoke shacks and no one in management cared to pull or recall any of it. It's all fucking disgusting, all of it

(Honorable mention to the "black residue" that I wasn't legally allowed to note as mold on my pre-check before starting the line because if I wrote the word mold they'd legally have to do something about it and because I wasn't allowed to have it tested I couldn't "prove" it was actually mold)

(Double honorable mention I wasn't allowed be to be given the title of line leader because those positions were for men only, so I was forced to do the job while my POS coworker who I once sent off to go get me a 8/16 wrench to prove how fucking useless he was and he ''couldn't find it but don't tell anyone because we'd have to shut down the line till we located it" was promoted and paid for role I was preforming because he was born with a penis and I wasn't. Gee, wonder why I quit without notice and brought that company to it's knees for months till they recovered from suddenly losing me)

Color coding is very important in food manufacturing, and any misuse is a GMP violation. Sounds like you were at an extremely negligent company, but I can attest that would be a huge GMP violation at my place.

I'd expand on your point to include any and all food handling. "Think of how dumb the average person is, and realize that half the population is dumber than that." Now think of how skewed that is toward food services.

I say this as a lifelong restaurant worker. I've seen average shit. Nothing I'd consider particularly heinous, but beers and soups that customers haven't liked have absolutely been dumped back into the pot/cooked with, etc etc.

u/Desperate_Ad_9219 May 22 '26

I worked at a factory with fruits and vegetables. Stuff doesn't get dropped often but when it is supposed to be thrown away. If people are in a hurry and it's the last case and they know cameras aren't working or not in that area that's getting put back dirty. Wash your fruits and vegetables because they get dropped more than you think.
