Four Reasons to Use a Microfiber Mop
by Lizz Cassidy

Description: Advantages of cleaning your floors with a microfiber mop.

Microfiber is a strong, lint-free synthetic fibre. It is comprised of electrostatically-charged fabric, which allows it to attract charged dust particles more efficiently. Recently, microfiber has been incorporated into mops, which has resulted in a re-useable, and efficient cleaning product. To follow are some of the benefits behind cleaning with a microfiber mop.

1. Microfiber mops clean more efficiently and will save you both time and energy.

The tiny fibres of the microfiber fabric make it extremely absorbent, so that microfiber mops are able to withhold more liquid without dripping. Thus, the mop head does not need to be replenished as frequently and the floor is damp after cleaning, as opposed to being soaking wet.

Microfiber is also extremely effective at cleaning in between the nooks and crannies of tiled floors. Traditional mops require excessive force in order to remove dirt from tile cracks. Microfiber cleaning is different. Instead of having to exert physical force to "scrub" the floor, Microfiber adheres to the surface and electrostatically removes the dirt particles for you.

In general, the use of a microfibre mop allows you to clean more with less time.

2. Microfiber cleaning reduces the risk of injury

Microfiber mopping eliminates the need for excessive "scrubbing" forces, and the need to wring the wet mop head. This effectively reduces the risk of back pain, wrist and hand tendonitis, and work-related injury. As mentioned before, microfiber cleaning also leaves less water on the floor, which reduces the risk of someone slipping on the floors.

3. Microfiber cleaning is environmentally-friendly

Microfiber mops require significantly less water to clean entire rooms. In addition, microfiber is extremely effective at digging into nooks and crannies of tiles without the use of chemicals. And unlike disposable mops, Microfiber mop heads can be washed in the laundry, which cuts down on wasted landfill garbage that accumulates from the use of disposable products.

4. Microfiber cleaning costs less

In the long run, a disposable cleaning product will cost you at least $60 a year for the mop, dry cloths, and wet cleaning cloths. Standard mops, on the other hand, consume a significant amount of water and tend to not last for more than a year. The cost of a microfiber mop package is generally under $50, and usually includes the mop handle, plastic base with velcro attachment, both wet and dry cloths, several general purpose cloths. Not to mention the fact the microfiber mops are guaranteed to last at least 3 years!
