Microfiber Mops are better for Hospitals and Health Care, than traditional Mops for several reasons.
Clean more effectively - The microscopic fibers scrub surfaces, and absorb debris and liquid better than traditional cotton mops.
Require less (or no) chemicals - The mechanical scrubbing action of the microscopic fibers, and the high absorbency means you need less chemical to clean the same area.
Lighter Weight - Microfiber flat mop heads are lighter and easier to control than traditional string mops or sponge mops.
Reduce cross contamination - Since you change out the mop pad for a clean pad when it is dirty, you are always cleaning with a clean mop
Require less water - Microfiber works best when damp (not soaking wet), which means you don't need a bucket of water to mop with.
