The advantages of cleaning facilities using microfiber mops Say goodbye to dirt and dust from your homes and offices by purchasing floor mops. These mops use the latest microfiber technology to provide the best possible cleaning surface to remove stubborn dirt and dust from all areas of your facility. The guide here tries to explain the technology used in these microfiber mops and the advantages of these mops over more traditional cleaning equipment.
Before you go ahead and purchase a microfiber mop from the store, you might wish to learn a bit about how the technology of this cleaning equipment works. Microfiber is a synthetic material that is composed by blending both polyamide and polyester polymers. Being one-sixteenth the size of the human hair, these fibers serve as excellent ‘hooks’ to remove dirt and dust from your floors. Unlike cotton fiber mops, mop heads do not leave any residue behind after cleaning the surfaces. There are a number of excellent benefits associated with microfiber mops. First of all, due to the
high density and surface area of the microfibers used in their construction, these mops can absorb water seven times their weight. In the blink of an eye, they are able to clean up large spills on the floor. Also, while using these microfiber mops, you need to use much less water and chemicals than in case of other products. They are also lightweight and hence easy to carry around saving you a back and arm ache. Microfiber mops are highly cost efficient. If you start using them, you will realize that you are using much less cleaning chemicals than what you needed while cleaning with cotton mops. It also saves a lot of time and effort on your part. These mops are also very useful for hospitals, restaurant kitchens and other areas that need to maintain strict aseptic environments. Pathogens including viruses and bacteria stick to the microfibers of the mop and are easily removed by washing out procedures. Also, unlike the case with cotton mops, since microfiber mops are made of inorganic material, pathogens are unable to feed on this synthetic base and hence their proliferation is held in check. These mops have a long lifetime and are easily washable. It is, however, advisable never to use bleach while washing the mops heads as bleach degenerates the fiber of these cleaning equipments.
If you are concerned citizen of the world, you would be pleased to know that microfiber mops are an eco-friendly cleaning option. They are usually made of
recycled plastic and after you discard them, they are again recycled. Also since these products use less water, it saves this important natural resource. Microfiber mops are primarily of two types, wet mops and dry mops. While the former is primarily used to clean all types of floors like hardwood, tile, vinyl and linoleum floors and uses water during the cleaning process, the latter can be also used to clean fan blades and ceilings without the need of using water. Besides microfiber mops, another technologically advanced equipment for cleaning your facilities involves the steam cleaners. Steam mops use high pressure steam to clean out stains and free your walls and floors of pathogens and allergens.
