Sometimes these mops can look too perfect, especially when using them for Gnomes, my suggestion is to wash your mop strings in a bucket of warm soapy water and hang them outside to dry, making sure it is hanging so that the threads dry straight. it is a great way to give a gnome a more rustic look. You can also dye mop heads to create different colors, and use RID fabric dye the same way you would dye fabric. Make sure to wring out the mop well so the dye does not bleed down your walls or door.
