Microfiber Mops Vs. Cotton String Mops: Which One is Better?

Dec. 30, 2022

If you want to ensure that your business is as clean as possible, it helps to know the difference between a cotton string mop and a microfibre mop. Microfibre cleaning products are becoming increasingly popular for a variety of reasons. Traditionally, cotton string mops have been the preferred choice because of their soft fabric and ability to hold large amounts of liquid. It is worth looking into the differences between cotton string mops and microfibre mops.

 

What is Microfibre?

Microfibre is a synthetic, fine material. It has thousands of tiny fibres, all less than one-half the diameter of a human hair. Unlike cotton, microfibre uses these tiny fibres to break down dirt, cotton uses larger fibres to do the same task. Research has proven that microfibre cleans more effectively than traditional cotton string mops over the last twenty years or so.

Are microfibre mops more resistant to bacteria?

Microfibre mops collect dirt and debris within their fibres, whereas traditional cotton string mops push the debris around the floor. In other words, a microfibre mop is more likely to pick up dust than a traditional mop.

 

Which is the more environmentally friendly option?

Some people believe that microfibre mops are the greener choice because you don't have to use as much water or cleaning products when using a microfibre mop. the EPA studied the use of microfibre mops in hospitals and reported that traditional wet mop rings use 105 gallons of water per 100 rooms, while microfibre mops use only 5 gallons of water per 100 rooms.

 

The benefit of using fewer cleaning products is that fewer chemicals need to be discharged down the drain after use. As a result, chemicals are less likely to be absorbed into the air, soil and water. In addition, the reduction in water usage saves you money.

Which mop costs more?

Most people would consider a microfibre mop to be the more expensive option. However, this depends on how you look at it. A microfibre mop lasts longer, which means you don't have to worry about replacing it as often. With a traditional mop, it won't be able to withstand as many washes.

 

Which option is more user-friendly? 

Microfibre mops are more user-friendly when you think you don't have to wring them out as much as a traditional mop. However, if you are dealing with a large oil spill in an industrial environment, a traditional mop is a better choice because it has larger fibres. Other than that, microfibre mops are useful in most situations where you want to keep your floors clean and disinfected. You can also look forward to training your staff in the proper use of microfibre mops.
