A neat and tidy surrounding is a bare minimum necessity in anyone’s life, whether one is within the confines of their home or outside. In the case of one’s home, a neat and tidy environment can only be achieved by regular cleaning activities. Dust and dirt tend to accumulate on any kind of surface, especially the ones that remain unused. Therefore, removing them must be taken care of frequently.
Housecleaning: A living need
It is preferable to clean our place of living every day by dusting, mopping, etc. because then not only do they smell and look better but also become easy as well as safe to live in. If a building and its components are not cleaned at regular intervals, then many ugly manifestations might rear up, like:
- Limescale build-up in faucets and taps
- Mold growth in the damp areas
- Smudgy glass surfaces
- Areas where Dust and Cobwebs are accumulated
- Smelly Bacterial growth and many more
Therefore, to prevent these dirty events from happening in ones’ living quarters, it is extremely necessary to put cleaning into action.
Wet Cleaning vs. Dry Cleaning
If we observe the various activities involved in the cleaning arena, two major types of cleaning can be noticed:
- Wet Cleaning – Where water and water-soluble agents are involved in the cleaning, process, e.g. wet floor mopping
- Dry Cleaning – where the cleaning takes places in the complete absence of water, e.g. dusting
The functional effectiveness with regards to these two cleaning activities is often debated. However, in the case of more accumulation of dust, the most constructive way of cleaning is the dry one followed by the wet one.
Microfiber Wet Mops: the Angels of Wet Cleaning
The invention of a microfiber cloth has revolutionized the cleaning industry largely. The higher surface area on a microscopic level provided by the microfiber cloth helps to hold more water molecules along with the cleaning agents. Some of the wet microfiber mops such as the Dredge mop are specially made in such a way that there is no need to carry extra water or cleaning materials once they are dipped in the cleaning solution.
Another aspect that these microfiber wet mops excel at is that the lint residue is negligible. Moreover, in the case of dry mopping, often the dust is scattered and settled on other surfaces, which does not happen during the execution of wet cleaning with these microfiber mops. Besides, they are easy to drag around and maneuver as well. Their durability also plays a great role in their skyrocketing popularity.
Since the water retention capacity of these mops is higher, therefore the chances of mold and bacterial growth are greater as well. Therefore, it is imperative that the post floor mopping cleaning and disinfecting sessions of these microfiber mops must be considered seriously. Besides, they should be dried well before being towed away to dark broom cupboards to prevent bad odors and bacterial & fungal infections.
