The method for cleaning floors has certainly changed over the years. Before cross-contamination was an issue, cleaners would use string mops and a bucket of water and cleaning chemicals — dipping repeatedly until the floor looked clean. Little did they know that every time the mop hit that water, there was potential for the spread of dirt and bacteria.

These days, however, cleaners have choices when it comes to cleaning for health. Ergonomic cotton mops used in conjunction with advanced bucket systems can prevent cross-contamination. And microfiber mops have proven to be an asset to any cleaning arsenal because of its ability to pick up dirt and dust better than other fabrics.

Our cleaners used to use one mop bucket for three rooms. Now, they can use one pre-saturated microfiber mop head for each room, which reduces the risk of transferring bacteria and viruses from one room to another.
