MICROFIBER MOPS Major Cleaning Microfiber mops have been shown to pick up more dust and dirt than conventional mops. The environmental staff at the University of California Davis Medical Center performed a demonstration of this: First, they cleaned an area with a conventional mop and then re-cleaned with a microfiber mop. This was done several times, and in each case the microfiber mop captured additional dust and dirt. Then the same test was done in reverse order. However, the conventional mop was not able to capture additional dust and dirt beyond the capabilities of the microfiber mop. 1 Major Productivity Microfiber protocol: mop the floor, change the mop head and move to the next room. The same solution can be used for up to 22 rooms, as long as a dirty mop head is never put back in the solution.» Save time. Your staff can clean more when they don t have to wring out the mop or change the solution, typically every three rooms.» Simplify cleaning. The ergonomic pads and handles make it easy to clean hard-to-reach areas, such as behind toilets, against baseboards and around corners. More Rooms Cleaned with Fewer, Faster Steps Major Savings» Cut costs. There s much less chemical and water usage when the same solution is used throughout a shift. Major Safety Enhancements» Reduce risks of staff injuries. Not wringing out the mop or lifting the heavy bucket to change the solution between rooms means there are fewer opportunities for back injuries.» Limit the spread of germs. The dirty mop head is removed between each room, and the contaminants go with it. 22 Rooms Cleans 22 rooms in an eight-hour workday 20 Rooms Cleans 20 rooms in an eight-hour workday 18 Rooms 16 Rooms Change the cleaning solution every 3 rooms Wring out the mop after each room»» Change the mop head after every room Traditional Mopping Microfiber Mopping 1-800-MEDLINE (633-5463) medline.com 3

MICROFIBER CLEANING CLOTHS Major Cleaning Effective cleaning involves two things: 1. Removing soil so that the disinfectant can reach the surface, and 2. Transferring an adequate amount of chemical to the surface and leaving it there for the required kill time. Recent studies show that microfiber is more effective than other traditional cleaning cloths at» Removing soil from the surface. Reusable and disposable microfiber cloths were shown to be more effective at reducing bacteria from a test soil than cotton/poly blend, 100 percent cotton, blue O.R. towel, and polypropylene materials. 2» Transferring the chemical to the surface. Because of its positive charge, microfiber naturally doesn t attract the positively charged active ingredients in disinfectants. That s why microfiber was recently shown to be more efficient at transferring disinfectant to a surface than the traditional materials mentioned above, which have a negative charge. 12 MEDLINE
