In the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico the phrase for mop the floor is "Trapear el piso" but what this means literally is to pass a cloth "un trapo" on the floor using what is known as "un jalador" or a puller. This puller is what people in the US would call a squeegee which is a flat rubber blade. However, "un jalador" has a long broom handle. The "trapo" is wrapped around the rubber blade and passed across the floor. There are also mops in this region of the Spanish speaking world. They are called "mechudos." But, people still say that they are "trapeando" when they are actually "mopping".
