Cleaning and disinfection methods in the professional cleaning sector have evolved significantly. Hygiene, ergonomics, and cleaning efficiency have led to the abandonment of the traditional mop in favor of more suitable solutions. These sweeping and washing solutions, with increasingly sophisticated ranges of fringe mops, are integrated into methods developed using cleaning and disinfection trolleys . Voussert offers a wide range of flat mop cleaning equipment at professional prices.
The different flat washing systems
There are several standards for mop heads and holders, most of which are "captive." This means that your holder will only accept one type of mop head, or even, as with some brands, only one specific model. Therefore, it's important to check a few things before investing in a professional mop head holder set.
Function of a flat washing system
The function of a standard flat mop system is to wash and, in some facilities, disinfect the floor. Various types of mop heads and mop heads are available. It is essential to ensure compatibility between the mop heads, the mop heads themselves, and the handle, as there are numerous mounting standards.
The 5 main flat mop systems for washing and disinfecting floors used in professional cleaning are:
Folding foot pedal stand for fringe with tabs
This type of holder is commonly called a "Speedy." It's the most widely used because it allows you to avoid touching the mop head with your hands during cleaning. It's used with a two-bucket cleaning trolley, such as a " Bibac, " or a two-bucket trolley with a larger water and cleaning solution capacity, usually equipped with a jaw press.
Folding foot pedal stand for pocket fringe
Unlike the "Speedy" mop holder, this type of holder does not allow for mechanical wringing of the mop head. Its purpose is rather to change the mop head once it is saturated on a given surface (for example, changing the mop head when moving from one room to another). It can be wrung out manually, but this is not the most hygienic solution.
Folding foot-operated stand for snap-on fringe
In this case, the fringe is no longer held on the support mop by the tabs clipped into the ends of the support, but attached at each end of the fringe by pressures.
This system, even though it allows for mechanical wringing like the " Speedy, " remains less common because the mop heads are more expensive. It's a system that remains relatively uncommon.
Mixed fringe holders for sweeping and wide-width washing
This type of equipment is mainly intended for sweeping large areas such as gymnasiums, function rooms, large retail spaces... They have a role in collecting waste which can precede the use of a floor scrubber (example on a gymnasium).
The supports are available in several widths ranging from 40, 60, 80, 100, 130 and 160 cm.
There is also a specific type of fringe broom called a "scissor broom" which consists of two supports positioned in a V and whose function is to treat very large surfaces such as gymnasiums for example.
The supports clip together in their central part so that the fringe, which is necessarily a pocket model, can be inserted or removed.
The fringes are generally made of 70% cotton and 30% polyester (to improve glide). Washing at a low temperature is recommended.
The faubert fringe or "Spanish" broom
The faubert system, commonly known as the "Spanish broom," is a traditional tool used both in professional settings and for domestic use.
It consists of a clip to attach the scythe fringe or directly, as is the case with the Spanish Mery type system, a fringe incorporating a screw or hexagonal socket to be fixed on the handle.
It is designed for small areas such as building lobbies, where it is widely used by building caretakers. Indeed, it is very easy and quick to use, allowing for immediate cleaning of a lobby, stairwell, etc. It also has the advantage of being very maneuverable, able to reach everywhere, even in hard-to-reach areas and spaces.
Compatible fringes
For foldable and pocketed supports, the fringes are most often "mixed" pocket tab and can be made of cotton or microfiber.
For the pressure-mounted support, there is only one model of pressure-mounted fringe.
Vileda Swep the system
For floor cleaning using the pre-impregnation method, the Swep method remains the most
comprehensive and innovative solutions on the market.
The Swep concept was developed in Scandinavia, which has long been at the forefront of innovation and hygiene.
The Swep method is a single-pass cleaning concept.
Dusting is only necessary if the dust is
Visible to the naked eye. The result: clean, quickly drying floors, saving time and money. Swep system mops come in two versions: Swep Single and Swep Duo.
