Top Qualities in Dust Mops
Saturday, February 13th, 2010Not all dust mops are created equal. Some are excellent for gathering and pushing most dirt and debris around, similar to a broom, while others are able to attract dust like a magnet and hold on to it. Take your pick.
Members of the latter category have been treated with a product in order to be able to wield such power. Or you can find a product to use on your mop to transform it into a dust-collecting wonder tool.
In any case, an amazing attraction to dust is an excellent quality in a dry mop. Don”t knock it.
Now, if you”re looking for something that fits in with your collection of green cleaning tools, then aim for a cotton-string-based product. Some are even able to be used two ways (reversed), which spells quicker and better results with less need to clean in between.
Whatever type of fiber you choose in the end, keep your eyes open for quality design and construction, and materials that will be worth the investment.
You”ll want to estimate whether or not you can toss your mop in the washing machine from time to time to keep it clean.
Dust mops don”t appreciate being hidden in the closet all the time. Make sure you take yours for a spin on a regular basis. No batteries required. And it”s faster and more energy efficient than something you”ve got to bend over and plug in.
Keeping the dust in your house at bay will speed up weekly clean-up duty, and make receiving unexpected visitors a more positive experience. This is especially true if you have pets or plenty of people in your household. Fur and hair can accumulate quite quickly in most corners.
