Mopping has traditionally been utilised in cleaning floors, though this trend may be fading. Mopping has been around for over 3000 years with the Egyptians being the first to invent the mop. Tecnovap Australia has now introduced a new Thermoglide steam powered mop.
It is a well known fact that the mop and bucket is not efficient in sanitising against MRSA, VRE and bacteria. Only a superheated dry steam unit like the Tecnovap Thermoglide can be as there is no need to constantly change dirty water.
In fact, mopping creates more chemicals on the floor leaving a film that builds up and eventually needs removal. The film is described as a build up of chemical solution and recycled non clean dirty water.
Another fact is complaints are becoming more frequent now as chemical solutions left on floors by mopping are causing sinus and respiratory tract irritation or problems. More chemical facts about mopping are that occupants in buildings are often complaining about chemical related odours migrating into their areas as well as workers having chemical residue left on their hands.
More disturbing fact is that most cleaners persist in cleaning safety floors when dirty water deposits are constantly left after mopping, leaving a major OH&S problem. Mopping has also been ineffective over rough surfaces as the mops threads get caught up and even ripped, leaving many cases to buy a new mop.
These facts all display why a new superheated dry steam Thermoglide mop is good. There are four other reasons why and the first is the Thermoglide improves the hygiene quality as it heats up to 130° which kills bacteria on contact.
The second is it will halve you cleaning time as it cleans 20 metres in just 4 minutes. The third is it saves money on cleaning costs, needing no chemicals to clean. The last is it improves OH&S with no back strain or slips.
