Sick of using dangerous chemicals when cleaning your floors, with microfiber mops all you need is water.

Microfiber is the new cleaning technology that comes in different forms, namely rags, cloths, towels and mops. Mops are used all over, in homes, schools, hospitals and commercial buildings. Mops are used to keep the floors very clean and presentable, which is very important in maintaining a clean and healthy environment. This new technology has been used by hundreds of thousands of people because of its environmental friendliness and cost-effective characteristics.

Microfiber only needs water to clean 99% of bacteria and only very minimal, inexpensive chemicals needed, when necessary. Water is all it takes to remove stubborn dirt in your surfaces; microfiber mops scoop, lift and trap dirt off of the floor while absorbing up to 700% its weight in liquids.

Here are the three areas where microfiber is the best used for effective cleaning as well as reducing your cleaning expenses:

1) Microfiber mops last longer than standard cotton mops because of their very durable polyamide and polyester fibers which lower your mop head replacement costs. Remarkably, you can wash microfiber mops pads in your washing machine up to 500 times and they still maintain their effectiveness!

2) Microfiber mops require few chemicals, if any. A slightly damp or wet microfiber mop head will clean without the use of costly chemicals. With the use of only one pad you can clean every room in your entire home, up to 3000 square feet and can dust and clean your entire home with only water. The lesser chemicals you use the more money you save. It also saves time because when you're using only water you do not have to stop, pour and mix up chemicals. One study states that you only use 2 gallons of water with a microfiber mop where as someone cleaning uses 21 gallons of floor cleaning solution and water with the typical string mop during a single cleaning session.

3) Microfiber was designed for speed and versatility, to reduce labor expenses. Its uniquely lightweight design makes it easy to handle and use, it also eliminates repeated bending over and wringing out and unlike the typical mop you only replace the head once it is dirty.

Microfiber mops far exceed the common disposable mops, sponge and string mops. Disposable mops are thrown away after only one use in which one pad cleans only one room, about the maximum of 300 square feet. Several mop heads are also needed when using disposable mops, one for dusting and another is needed for wet cleaning using chemicals. Sponge and string mops obviously cannot be used for dusting. The sponge mop is not even washable, it often makes smears and leaves residue, and on top of that it needs chemical cleaners whereas the microfiber mop does not leave any smears or residues on the surface.

Microfiber mops are highly recommended in hospitals and other health care facilities because the same mop water is not being shared between areas, thus, it helps eliminate cross contamination. Microfiber mops not only work great when doing minimal cleaning activities restricted to homes but also in large public facilities and buildings.
