Pick the Right Mop for Quality Office Cleaning
Courtesy Building Services knows a thing or two as far as mops are concerned. The company has been established by offering sparkling floors to all types of businesses, from warehouses where toxic spills are an everyday occurrence, to offices where foot traffic can take its toll.
What did the company learn from all these years of cleaning? It takes a very special and effective cleaning tool to complete and finish even the dirtiest of jobs. Even though you might put your heart into tackling that sauce-stained and dirty floor, a floppy old mop may not really make your surface as clean and shiny as you want it to be, and worse, it might even drag debris with it. Aside from that, custodians will be able to learn a thing or two from this article through ensuring that they don’t use dirty mops which have already been contaminated by different chemicals or other mess to clean a different floor.
So, how will you be able to avoid the use of the wrong mop? The answer is obvious: you need to choose the appropriate one, of course. Similar to choosing the right office cleaning service, choosing the best and most suitable mop for the job can make a big difference between cleanliness and a serious mess.
To make your decision making easier, here are a few tips to help you in shopping for a mop which meets your specific needs:
Blended Variety
The mops that come with stitched bottoms are perfect for use in jobs which require more absorbency. Such particular type could sustain around 25 to 30 launderings before you will have to discard them for a new one.
Heavy Cotton
The heavy cotton mops can work well for the one time cleaning jobs such as fluid spills. It is a type of mop which can soak up large amounts of liquid. But, you might have to throw them away after the task is finished.
Microfiber
Many commercial cleaning experts love microfiber mops. These mops are a wonderful tool for efficient low moisture clean. These are also perfect for cleaning ceramic or quarry tile and grout. These are also used for washing your walls since these can cover broad surface areas. Microfiber mops are much lighter compared to the first two types mentioned above, and you can throw these in the wash several times without having to worry about damages. But, just make sure that you launder them separately from clothing or cotton fibers, and don’t use high heat, fabric softener, and bleach when washing them as these can all cause damages on the microfiber and lessen its cleaning ability.
It doesn’t matter if you are cleaning the office kitchen floor, or the office bathroom floor because choosing the appropriate mop to do the job is a must. Make sure you do yourself a big favor by learning about the various kinds of mops mentioned above for you to choose the one that best suits your needs. But, if mopping is just not your cup of tea, experts like Courtesy Building Services will be more than happy to take the load off your shoulders.
