Moving Beyond Mops for Better Cleaning

Mop

How do you know when industrial mops are not the best choice?

To mop or not to mop? That’s the question. After years upon years of being the standby tool of cleaning professionals worldwide, some are finding that industrial mops are often not the best choice for keeping our floors cleaned properly.

Trade publication CleanLink recently posted a piece on their website that discusses some “mop myths” that are mostly untrue. They go on to describe some ways mops actually may cause more harm than good.

For example, mops can actually spread soil around, rather than wipe it away. Soaking mops do not eliminate all potential contaminants, even if soaking the mop overnight. Using extra disinfectant may have little to no effect when cleaning with a mop (the active ingredient in the cleaner is largely absorbed by the mop fibers, rather than effectively spreading itself onto the intended surface).

Moving Beyond Mops

So what’s the solution? Mops should not be viewed as an all-purpose tool, but simply one option among many. In recent years, cleaning technology has advanced to include many alternatives to mopping. They include high-pressure water jets and motorized scrubbing systems, among others.
