Papermake Guide: Wet & Dry Mops and Dusters

Floors are one of the largest surfaces you maintain. The right combination of wet mops, dust mops, and dusters helps keep them clean, safe, and presentable with less effort. This guide explains how to choose the best tools for your floors, traffic patterns, and cleaning methods.

1. Wet Mops: Choosing the Right Style
Cotton & Blend Mops

Traditional cut-end and looped-end mops offer high absorbency and are often used for general cleaning and spill response. Blends improve durability, launderability, and performance compared to cotton alone.

Microfiber Wet Mops

Lighter and more efficient, microfiber wet mops remove more soil with less water and chemical. They are ideal where hygiene, speed, and reduced chemical usage are priorities.

Choosing Mop Size

Larger mop heads cover more area but are heavier when wet. Match mop size to staff strength and the square footage being cleaned.

2. Dust Mops: Pre-Cleaning for Better Results

Dust mopping before wet mopping removes loose dust, grit, and debris so your cleaning solution stays cleaner longer and floor finishes last longer.

3. Dusters & High-Reach Tools

Dusters remove dust from ledges, vents, fixtures, and high surfaces that cannot be easily reached with standard cloths.

4. Handles, Frames & Laundering

Choosing the right handle and frame combination improves ergonomics and cleaning quality.
