Wet sweeping gauze, why?
For many years the classic sweep called "dry sweeping" has been widely used. With the advent of HACCP standards where dry sweeping has simply been banned in food preparation areas, wet sweeping has emerged.
Indeed, wet sweeping was primarily used in medical (hospital) or paramedical for reasons of hygiene and limiting the proliferation of germs in the atmosphere.
To have a precise idea of ??the efficiency of the wet sweep it is necessary to recall some figures.
A dry sweeping type fiber brush remits 80% of the dust (fine) suspended in the air.
A sweep with gauze impregnated type cotton gives 40%.
Impregnated sweeping gauze only gives 15 to 20% suspension according to the quality of the gases and the surface to be cleaned (smooth).
These figures demonstrate on their own the need to implement a wet sweep with impregnated gauze .
These gauzes are available in several sizes knowing that the most common is the 60x30 cm to adapt to standard trapezoidal brooms 60 cm wide.
The color is often associated with a gauze weight with the rose corresponding to a 20 grs / m2 and a yellow 45 to 50 grs / m2.
Gauze impregnation and product quality are key parameters of gauze efficiency. A badly impregnated or dry gauze will have of course no effectiveness.
