Purchasing resources for Mops

Cleaning mops range from standard cotton hand mops to steam mops. The market for mops maintains stability in retail for the consumer with homes, apartments and condominiums. Industry, offices and small business owners provide outlets for these products for their use as well.

Common terminology for mops include looped end, cut end, clip style, tie style and microfiber. Looped end mops loop the strands before sewing back, thus providing less fraying or unraveling. The less expensive cut end types attach to a mop band end. Clip style secures itself to a frame with snaps or clips. Tie style, typically in dust mops, secures itself to the handle with ties. Micro fiber mops use pads attached to the mop head with Velcro. When buying floor mops consider the following:

1. Buy mops for industrial use based on size and mop head construction.

2. Look for standard all-around dry or wet mops for general cleaning.

3. Consider steam mops for enhanced sanitation and cleaning ability.

• When considering a steam cleaner know that stainless steel boilers last longer than aluminum. The aluminum boiler's construction consists of two parts affixed with screws and gasket. This contributes to potential warping and leaking over time.
