CHOOSING THE RIGHT MOP
Cotton
• Cotton has a hollow cell
structure for maximum absorption.
• Fibers are shorter and
have lower tensile strength than synthetic fibers.
• Natural fiber requires a
break-in period. All new mops should be hand washed in warm soapy water and
rinsed in cold water to remove natural oils that can inhibit absorption.
• Cotton mops can be
laundered on a limited basis.
Rayon
• No break-in required. Maximum absorption at first use.
• Clean and fresh
appearance.
• Prone to continuous
shrinkage when exposed to excessive heat.
• Faster absorption rate
as compared to cotton yarns.
• Lower wipe dry
performance as compared to cotton yarns.
• Low linting
properties, ideal for applying floor finish.
Blends
• Absorption performance
of moisture hungry rayon and cotton fiber combined with abrasion resistance and
strength of acrylic and polyester fiber.
• Synthetic fibers add
durability and color and fight bacteria.
• The professional choice
for launderability and longevity.
Non-Woven (DuPont Sontara®)
• Very economical with no
break-in period.
• Better particle pick-up.
• Better floor drying,
ideal for mopping high traffic areas.
• Easy to clean and low to
non-linting.
• Lighter, fast drying
promotes resistance to bacteria.
