What is the best sponge type for picking up spilled water

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.

Look for a fairly big car wash sponge

Why would a troll ask a question about a sponge?

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.
