The Mop is a household cleaning tool that doubles as an improvised two-handed blunt weapon. It trains the Long Blunt skill. It weighs 2 and swings faster than base speed.
Its long handle reaches further than most melee weapons. Its damage is very low, though, and it breaks after only a few hits. Its real job is cleaning. The Mop is a common find in laundries, janitor closets, prison laundries and school storage.
Combat
Each hit deals between 0.2 and 0.5 damage, so a zombie takes many blows to drop. The reach is 1.6 tiles, which keeps a zombie at arm's length. The crit chance starts at 5 percent.
The mop is two-handed but quick. The Long Blunt skill raises its speed and damage as it levels. It is a weapon for an emergency only. Any bat or proper long blunt weapon does far more in a fight.
Uses
The Mop cleans. With a container holding at least 250 mL of bleach or cleaning liquid, it cleans blood and grime stains from walls and floors. With at least 1250 mL of gasoline, it removes graffiti from walls. With any amount of water, it cleans a chicken hutch, which keeps the chickens alive. A sharp knife carves the mop into a Wooden Spear. It can also be broken down into a Long Stick, and it burns as fuel.

Repair
The Mop has only 3 condition. Each hit has a 1 in 2 chance of taking a point off. The Long Blunt and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. Duct tape, adhesive tape and glue repair it with no skill needed. Zip ties need Maintenance 1, and wood glue needs Carpentry 2. Epoxy needs Maintenance 3, and epoxy with rags needs Maintenance 4.
Locations
The Mop is a common find. Laundries, prison laundries and prisoner belongings rooms hold one more than a third of the time. Janitor rooms, bathroom shelves, school storage and gas station storage hold one about a quarter of the time. Zippee store storage rooms do too.
