Floor Care Equipment

Mop head types include cotton mops (traditional, absorbent), microfibre mops (effective cleaning with less water), Kentucky mops (large area coverage), and disposable mop heads.

Floor pads vary by colour and abrasiveness: white (polishing), red (light cleaning), blue (regular scrubbing), green (heavy scrubbing), black (stripping). Match pad to floor condition and task.

Twin-bucket systems separate clean water from dirty rinse water, maintaining cleaning solution effectiveness and improving hygiene. Single buckets suit small quick-clean tasks.

Change mop water when visibly dirty, or after cleaning approximately 3-4 rooms. Dirty water spreads bacteria and reduces cleaning effectiveness.

Soft bristle brooms suit polished floors. Hard bristle brooms work on rough concrete or outdoor areas. Microfibre brooms capture dust on smooth commercial floors.

Yes, cotton and microfibre mop heads can be machine washed (60°C for cotton, 30-40°C for microfibre) and reused multiple times before replacement.

Standard commercial mop handles use Acme (threaded) or European (cone) fittings. Most commercial mop heads fit standard Acme threads. Check compatibility before purchasing.

Clean equipment after each use, store mops hung upside down to air dry, replace worn mop heads and broom bristles, and store equipment in dry, ventilated areas.
