Microfiber mop

The type of mop or microfiber fringe holder

There are several types of mop holders, including Velcro holders, folding holders with clips for tabbed mop heads, and pocket holders. Velcro mop holders consist of an aluminum or rigid plastic part and can be various lengths, up to 120 cm, suitable for large areas such as gyms or event halls. The Velcro strips are integrated into the mop head and are, of course, replaceable as they are considered wear parts. The most common size is 40 cm wide . Flat Velcro mop holders are very practical and easy to use, especially when cleaning methods require frequent mop head changes (for example, the pre-impregnation trolley method with one mop head per room or area to be cleaned and disinfected).

Choosing the professional microfiber fringe

When choosing microfiber floor mop heads, it's important to consider how you'll be using them. Mop heads can be used for dry sweeping, wet sweeping, or wet mopping.
• For dry sweeping , electrostatic fringes are ideal because they prevent dust from being stirred up and suspended in the air. They are particularly well-suited to large areas and do not require frequent re-wetting.
• Damp mopping is recommended for smooth floors and effectively removes loose dirt. However, it's worth noting that this method is better suited to smaller areas, as it requires frequent mop head changes and more precise handling. This is particularly common in hospitals, nurseries, and similar settings, as it saves time by combining two separate operations—mopping with a damp cloth followed by washing and disinfection—into one.
• Wet mopping is recommended for heavily soiled areas, such as entrance halls and high-traffic zones. Mop heads used for wet mopping must have high absorbency and be specifically designed for deep cleaning stubborn dirt. This method is used in high-traffic areas such as public buildings, schools, community centers, gyms, offices, etc.

Choice of fringe and type of soil

The type of flooring you'll be using the microfiber mop head on is an important factor. Different types of flooring may require mop heads with different characteristics to ensure optimal grip and ease of use.
• Short-pile microfiber fringes, mostly made of polyester , tend to glide more easily on smooth floors, which can be an advantage in some situations. However, they may be less suitable for rough or textured tiles and offer significantly less absorbency.
• The microfiber fringes, made primarily of microfiber, offer greater absorbency thanks to their looped structure. The lower polyester content reduces slippage. These fringes are versatile and suitable for various floor types, providing excellent absorbency.
• Mixed microfiber fringes combine the advantages of both by offering a compromise, with specific areas featuring gentle abrasives. This improves cleaning efficiency by removing more stubborn dirt while providing a smooth glide across the floor.
