Advantages of Mop Head

Long-lasting durability

High-quality commercial mops are strong and durable with the best yarn type and mop-end style. A mop head replacement is washable and more durable than less expensive cut-end mop heads.

 

Superior absorbency

Industrial mop heads are generally made of blended materials, providing excellent absorbency. This allows the mop heads to pick up and hold a significant quantity of liquid. A well-absorbent commercial mop equalizes faster and more absolute cleaning along with drying.

Enhanced efficiency

The release of a mop head determines how well it diffuses the water, cleaning solution, or finish. If a mop head has a better release, it permits a complete wringing and an efficient finish application.

Effective and deep cleaning

The shape of the mop head and its threads contribute to providing a more effective and deep cleaning. The threads can penetrate into pores and crevices to remove stubborn dirt.

How to Buy the Mop Heads

 

 

As mop heads come in different materials and sizes and are available in extensive selections, choosing suitable mop heads can be daunting.

You’ll need to consider a few attributes associated with mop heads before making an informed decision.
Look for the yarn ply with more threads per strand to absorb liquids efficiently. When it comes to twisting, a tightly twisted mop head will last longer and prevent linting.
Check for the launderability in mop heads. The higher the launderability in mop heads, the more wash cycles they can go through. Synthetic, microfiber, rayon, and blend are some of the materials with the highest launderability feature.

Choose mop heads that tend to have good absorbencies like cotton, blend, and microfiber industrial mop heads.
The mop heads should have an excellent release to wring out thoroughly and best for applying cleaning solutions, wax, and other finishes to floors. Mop heads with the best release ability include rayon, microfiber, and synthetic.

Cleaning applications: Different jobs and surfaces require different mop heads. Cotton mop heads are the best choice for general cleaning and spill cleanup. For a perfect finish, you’ll want to select a mop with good absorbency and release to spread finishing solutions evenly and efficiently. And for disinfection, the materials with chemical resistance, adequate release, and launderability are best.

There are also different headband styles that determine how the mop heads are attached to the mop handle. Choose from the narrow, screw top, and wide, 5-inch mop headbands according to your requirement.
Other crucial factors are mop head colors and sizes. Mop heads come in various colors and sizes, from small to extra-large in yellow, green, red, and blue.

 

Mop Head Materials
 

Cotton mop heads are the most economical and some of the most absorbent. Cotton mop heads dry slowly, so they're prone to mildew and quick deterioration if they aren't dried thoroughly after each use. Cotton is a good choice for spill pickup and light-duty cleaning.

 

Blend mop heads are made with a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers. This combination gives blend heads a good balance of affordability and performance. A blended mop head is a good choice for everyday cleaning and disinfecting.

 

Rayon is a semi-synthetic fiber made from cellulose with a texture similar to nylon. This material offers good absorption and release, dries quickly, and resists mildew. The downside to rayon is that it shrinks when laundered unless the product you choose has been preshrunk. Rayon is a good choice for applying floor finishes and disinfectants.

 

Synthetic mop heads are made with man-made fibers that provide the greatest strength out of all the available materials. This material will not lint, is highly resistant to mildew, and can be bleached without damage. Those properties make synthetic heads popular in healthcare facilities that must be disinfected and cleaned thoroughly.

 

Microfiber mop heads are made with very fine synthetic fibers. Microfiber is highly absorbent and offers good cleaning power. Microfiber mop heads tend to be expensive, but are some of the most durable available, so they can be laundered again and again without deteriorating. Microfiber is a premium choice for general-purpose cleaning.

 

Classification of Mop Heads

Rubber cotton mop head

Rubber cotton water absorption is relatively strong, before mopping the floor can not be swept, through the convection of air and friction to form static electricity, can suck dust, sand, suck hair, do not hurt the ground. When used, hands do not need to be wet with water and dirt, simple and clean. In particular, the replacement of the rubber cotton mop head is economical and affordable.

Fiber mop head

The price of microfiber material mop is more expensive, because of the use of a more special process, flat type tow head can be vertically in contact with the ground, a change in the cotton thread and the ground parallel contact of the disadvantages. Since it can be "intimately touched" with the ground, friction produces static electricity, so it can more thoroughly remove the dirt in the crevices, wipe the ground with almost no wear,and can also be used to polish and wax.

Cotton mop head

Cotton material prefers to dry, more precisely, used on wooden floors can show its advantages. Once the cotton head is wet, the hair attached to it is dificult to clean up, after wiping it, when you wipe it somewhere else, there will be a print, and the black mark will not be clean. Miscellaneous small objects stuck to the mop, mopped and brought to the ground, and then had to be swept. So the cotton mop should be as dry as possible. And before mopping the floor, it is recommended to clean the hair on the floor or use a vacuum cleaner to clean it.

 

Mop Head Lingo 

There are a few bits of lingo associated with mop heads that you'll need to understand before you can make an informed buying decision. These words describe the parts or properties of a mop head: 

1

Yarn ply describes how many individual threads of fiber are twisted together to form an individual strand of mop yarn. More threads per strand result in a strong mop, but also tend to decrease the mop's ability to absorb liquids.

2

Twist is another characteristic of a mop's yarn. Some yarns are twisted more tightly than others. In general, a more tightly twisted mop head will last longer, but that comes at the cost of absorbency since the material is made denser. A tight twist can also help prevent linting.

3

Launderability describes a mop head's ability to withstand being cleaned in a commercial washing machine. The better launderability an item is said to have, the more wash cycles it can go through before it begins to degrade. Materials with the highest launderability are microfiber, synthetic, blend, and rayon.

4

Absorbency is a material's ability to absorb liquid, which translates into its ability to clean up spills and dry floors quickly and thoroughly. Materials with good absorbency are a blend, cotton, and microfiber.

5

Release is a material's ability to release its liquid as it's mopped across floors or wrung out. Mop heads with good release can be wrung out thoroughly and are ideal for applying cleaning solutions, wax, and finishes to floors. Materials with high levels of release are microfiber, rayon, and synthetic.

6

Cleaning power describes a material's ability to clean dust, dirt, and residue from floors. Materials with a good deal of cleaning power include microfiber, synthetic, and blend.

7

Each thread of a cut-end mop comes to an end at the mop's tail. This type is the least expensive, but isn't launderable and won't provide the same service life as a looped-end mop, nor will it provide the same amount of coverage.

8

Each thread of a looped-end mop is bound on both ends by the mop's headband. Looped-end heads offer better floor coverage than cut-end mops. Looped-end mops are made with tail bands that prevent mop yarn from bunching up, keeping it flat on the floor to provide better surface coverage compared to cut-end mops.

 

 

Mop Headband Styles

Mop headbands determine how the head is attached to the mop handle. There are three types to choose from.
Narrow headbands measure 1 to 11⁄4 inches wide and attach to quick-release handles, which are sometimes called stirrup-style or gate-style handles. These come at a lower price than wide-band mop heads. Despite the name, they're not as quickly changed as wider-headband mop heads.
Wide, 5-inch headbands attach to jaw-style handles that grip the mop head tightly. These wider headbands contribute to a more durable mop. These are quick and convenient to change, but slightly more expensive.
Screw top headbands attach to mop handles via threaded screws. These are the most economical, but since they're made with metal components, they can never be laundered.

Mop Head Colors & Sizes

Looped-End Headband Sizes
Yellow for small
Green for medium
Red for large
Blue for extra-large
Cut-end mops are sized by their approximate weights in ounces. Common sizes are 16-, 24-, and 32-ounces, and you're likely to come across sizes in increments between those.

 

Approximate Loop-End/Cut-End Size Equivalents
Small 8-10 oz.
Medium 16-20 oz.
Large 24-32 oz.
Extra-Large 32-40 oz.

 

Mop head yarn is often available in different colors, too. These don't usually designate any physical characteristic of the mop itself, but rather can be used in-house to designate each mop to a specific task. For example, blue heads may be reserved for cleaning up water and red ones for cleaning up potentially hazardous substances. Alternatively, mop head colors can be used to designate them to certain areas of the building.

 

 

How to Change a Mop Head

Step 1
Wring out the mop, and stand it up on its handle so you can easily reach the head. Many janitor mops have a wing nut on a bracket that helps hold the mop head in place. Loosen the wing nut and spin it off completely. This should allow you to lift a metal bar that was locked against the mop head. Alligator-type mops that clamp down on a mop head may also have a wing nut that needs to be loosened to free the head from the clamp. Plastic quick-change heads may have an adjustment knob that can be loosened and a plastic clip that unlatches on the side so the head can slide out. Whichever type you have, lift the dirty mop head off the mop, and dispose of it.

Step 2
Remove the new mop head from its packaging, and find the center panel. On most mop heads, there are strands hanging down on both sides with a flat area in the middle where the mop grips the head. Once you have located the center panel, hang it over the rod or slide it into the space in the quick-change. Half of the mop head should be hanging on one side of the mop and half on the other. The center of the head should be balanced on the mop itself.

Step 3
Replace the wing nut or adjust the knob on the quick-change version, and hand-tighten the clamp until it is snug against the mop head. The clamp will hold the mop head in place. If the attachment bracket had any other clips meant to secure the mop head, make sure they are back in their original positions.

Step 4
Flip the mop back over, with the mop head on the floor. Dunk the mop into a bucket, and continue mopping the floor. If the head works loose, you did not adequately tighten the wing nut or clamps.
