What is the best sponge type for picking up spilled water on a vinyl
floor?

I've tried those sponge mops that come with a handle and you squeeze
them to wring out the water. They dont absorb much water.
I tried the small hand sponges as well as the larger ones made for
washing cars. They are made from some sort of foam, and they dont pickup
much water either. What else is there, and what works best? (I have not
tried one of them natural sponges, maybe they are better, but seem hard
to find in the stores).

I know one of those industrial string mops would probably work best, but
in a home, they are kind of big and clumsy. I'd rather have something
smaller, whether it's a mop, or just a hand sponge.

Just to be clear, I'm speaking of cleaning up a few gallons or less.
Such as a toilet or sink overflow, or other spilled water.

It is hard to beat an old towel, the bigger the better. We have a
bunch of beach towels we use for stuff like this.
Once you get up over a gallon you should be looking at a wet dry shop
vac tho.

Ones that have a thicker feel to them work for me. I have to be careful to
dry them out, since they decompose to rot and start shedding. Someone gave
me a bunch, so I don't know source.

For the attention. The same reason that you post the crap that you post.

Yes, we should keep everything here on topic: politics and sex.
