Hygienic floor cleaning through dry mopping

Ensuring surfaces and floors stay clean is crucial for many companies and organizations. Despite wet mopping remaining the traditional and most common cleaning method, both research and the Dutch RIVM suggest that the best results come from first dry mopping, followed by wet cleaning.

Loose dust and dirt account for at least 60% of what’s found on floors and surfaces. Dust accumulates constantly, whether in hospitals or offices. Despite appearing harmless, dust contains the highest concentration of bacteria among types of dirt and can pose serious health risks. It provides an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and may harbor dangerous viruses and various toxic chemicals. Thus, removing dust from floors and surfaces is critical, particularly in sensitive environments such as patient rooms and clean rooms.

Bacteria thrive in warm, moist environments, conditions traditional wet mopping creates. Research indicates that wet cleaning can actually promote the growth and spread of microorganisms like MRSA. Areas and buildings where dry cleaning precedes wet mopping show a lower incidence of MRSA infections compared to those neglecting this practice.

Choose your cleaning method based on the surface type. Vacuum cleaners are ideal for carpet or textile floors. However, electronic cleaning tools in public or sensitive areas, like hospitals, pose challenges and may spread bacteria between areas. Similarly, traditional textile floor cloths can retain contaminants even after rinsing or laundering, contributing to bacterial spread rather than eradication.

Innovative Dry Mopping Solutions

At Flash, we offer a range of innovative dry cleaning and mopping solutions tailored for hygiene-critical surfaces and areas where machine cleaning isn’t feasible. Our disposable dust mops and floor wipes are designed for single-use to minimize cross-contamination risks.

  • Economy Floor Wipe: Ideal for professional dry cleaning of even and closed floors. Each wipe is designed for single-room use, such as in patient rooms, making it suitable for healthcare, building maintenance, and food and non-food chain stores where hygiene and efficiency are paramount.
  • Electrostatic Dust Mop 3D: These cloths feature a unique wave structure for optimal pressure distribution on rough floors and maximum dust absorption. Highly durable and effective, they’re an excellent alternative to traditional cloths. Their mechanical charge attracts dust like a magnet, leaving no residues on surfaces or hands.
