Not recommended for wet mopping or rinsing if you expect it to be reusable. It is used to clean hay dust after cleaning the stable. I had to empty the vacuum many times and knock out the filter, which is what I expected. But when the job was done I wanted to wash the filter like I've done on others and it broke. I doubted it could be reused after seeing how flexible it got after rinsing, but I'm even more certain it can't be reused after it's torn. Looked great when new, did its job of cleaning dry dust and was not reusable when wet.
