Cleaning Methodologies

cleaning tips methodologies

Any industry and location has different requirements in terms of cleaning and hygiene. Sabco offer a variety of cleaning solutions that can make it easy any cleaning activity.

 
Wet system

Wet cleaning is usually identified with the presence of buckets and press wringers for traditional mop heads or alternatively flat mops. This is ideal when the same mop has to be re-used several times and there is no issue with having a slower to dry floor. It is also preferred when a laundry facility is not available.


Spray system

Spray cleaning is based on spray handle or applicator and flat mops. This is ideal for small areas where there is a need for a quick clean and quick drying floor. It’s ideal with the use of disposable/changeable flat mops that can be easily changed at any time that is required. It can also be used with re-usable mops if there is the possibility to clean the mops after use.


Damp/Pre-prepared system

When you and your customers have to offer higher hygiene cleaning solution, you have to look into a damp/pre-prepared system. Flat mops are pre-moist with the right quantity of cleaning solution, in order to clean an area big enough according to the capacity of the flat mop. In general, a 40cm pre-prepared flat mop can clean up to 30m². This system is based on changing the flat mops in each area or as soon as the mop is dry, in order to always use clean materials and avoid cross contamination. The pre-moistening of the flat mops guarantees a quicker drying of the floor, compared to the other systems.

Sabco Professionals Microfibre range is not only eco-friendly but it’s will help balance a budget while offering an superior clean environment for students and teachers. 

The Microfibre difference:

The innovative characteristic of this tread is that it is extremely fine – up to 100 times finer than a human hair – allowing it to penetrate even the smallest cracks in the surface. The result is an in-depth cleaning action that removes the smallest form of dirt, pollen and bacteria. 

This will also reduce the cost of chemicals to clean and our microfibre range is machine washable for long-term use.

Microfibre Technology

cleaning tips microfibre technology

Microfibre is constructed from a blend of polyester and polyamide and is safe to use on the most delicate surfaces. The polyester serves as the scrubbing and cleaning fibre whilst the polyamide performs absorbs and makes it quick drying.

About Microfibre

Microfibre refers to fibres whose individual threads are finer than 1 dtex (short for “decitex“). 1 dtex means: 10,000 meter of this extremely fine individual threads weight just 1 gram. The microfibre is approx 50 times smaller than a human hair. Compared to other fabrics of the same weight, microfibre has a significantly higher volume and greater surface area, which results in better dirt removal than other fibres commonly used in mops and cloths. Although many surfaces may appear smooth, when looked at under a microscope they appear uneven. Microfibre reaches into these microscopic crevices where conventional fibres cannot and removes all dirt.

Electrostatic Effect

When microfibre is used dry on a floor or on a surface its friction results in an electrostatic charge that leads to the attraction of negatively-charged dirt. This happens without raising dust. Every type of dirt, dust, lint, hair and other soils are attracted and captured by the microfibre.

Capillary Effect

When used damp the extremely fine fibres create a capillary effect within the fibre, sucking up and holding liquid/dirt from the surface into the inner fibres of the cloth. This “capillary effect” allows the microfibres to absorb and hold up to six times its weight in liquid, thanks to the higher number of air chambers and the smallest pores between the fibres. Dirt and bacteria are trapped/held in the fibres until the cloth/mop is laundered.
