Mop

Using a scrubber dryer, single-disc machine, or vacuum cleaner can quickly become a hassle when time is short. Discover the various alternative solutions when time is limited.

Spanish mop, the easy way

This is one of the most widespread systems in both professional and home environments. The "Spanish" system remains, despite all the alternatives offered on the market, widely used, especially in professional environments. Its great strength is that it can be used for cleaning a variety of surfaces , from tiled floors to plastic and even some parquet floors. The advantages are mainly its ease of use with a wringing system without a mechanism and very simple to use. It can also be easily moved and mounted on floors , adapting to cramped or cluttered spaces. It is generally made of cotton but can be replaced by synthetic or even microfiber mix fringes.

The Faubert tradition

It is a washing system very commonly used by professionals and more particularly in cleaning companies or building management companies. It is an easy and effective system to use for washing hard floors, protected plastics or even protected parquet floors . Widely used for circulating areas such as corridors, building halls or areas that are difficult to access with a cleaning trolley with a press such as stairs. The mop mop consists of a handle at the end of which a "mop clip" is attached specifically for attaching a mop mop. It is generally made of cotton and is characterized by its "grammage" or weight.
It can be sewn or unsewn . This means that either the fringes are left loose or are attached to each other by a seam across the width of the fringe.
Some manufacturers, such as Rubbermaid, Vileda, and Spontex, now offer professional products made of microfiber or non-woven fabrics. The advantage of these materials is greater absorption and reduced odor problems when wet.

What cleaning techniques with a mop?

The technique depends entirely on the system chosen and therefore on the desired objective: washing; dusting + washing; washing + disinfection... etc.
In any case, if your mop does not provide for a simultaneous dusting and washing action, you will need to dust the floor with impregnated gauze mops or a dry sweeping mop specially designed for this purpose.
Secondly, you will need to either prepare your bucket of solution in the bucket of clean water or you will go and take some of the solution for washing as part of a spin method, or prepare all the mops you will need by soaking them in advance.
Use a back-and-forth or figure-8 motion to clean the surface. For corners, feel free to use the mop head to reach difficult areas. Rinse the mop regularly to prevent redistribution of dirt when using a spin-dry method.

At what temperature should I wash my bangs?

It all depends on its texture and composition. Beyond the temperature aspect, which is a manufacturer recommendation theoretically listed on the product label, microfiber mops, for example, do not tolerate bleach or fabric softeners. It is therefore imperative to also check whether your mops are compatible with a tumble dryer.
Generally the recommended temperature for microfiber mops is 60°C and occasionally 95°C.
On Spanish broom or mop type fringes, being on cotton, the recommended temperature will be 30°C.

What type of sleeve should I choose to avoid back pain?

In the professional world, the time spent and the size of surfaces as well as the repetitiveness imply the possibility of musculoskeletal disorders. In this context, "ergonomic" handles have been developed, notably with the possibility of adapting the size of the handle to the operator's height. The ergonomic handle termination is also the result of a reflection with a rotating ball allowing greater dexterity without effort.

How long do bangs last?

The lifespan is theoretically stated for a certain number of machine washes. Generally, on a flat microfiber mop, data of 250 to 350 washes are what we find most. On mop or Spanish broom mops, given the cotton material, the lifespan is shorter because washing and recycling the mop is more difficult.
