For decades the mop and bucket has been the
staple of floor cleaning professionals.
Unfortunately, this type of cleaning methodology
is seriously flawed. The truth about cleaning
with a mop and bucket is that it actually does
more harm than good.

PROFESSIONAL OPENION
Lets start with the perspective of your
custodial professional. Cleaning with a mop and
bucket is the most inefficient method to clean a
floor. According to widely accepted productivity
standards, the average custodial professional can
mop between 3,000 and 5,000 square feet per hour
using a bucket and wringer. Worse yet, using a
mop bucket wringer is not very ergonomic and can
lead to fatigue and injury. Every fifty to 100
square feet, the custodial professional needs to
dip the mop back in the bucket and use the
wringer to press out excess solution. This
process can very quickly lead to back fatigue and
potential injuries.

Picking Up Dirt or Spreading It Around?
Now, lets look at the cleaning effectiveness of
a mop and bucket. Early in the cleaning process,
the custodial professional is using a relatively
clean solution and studies show that a clean mop
can eliminate up to 48 of the soil on a floor.
However, more soil, contaminants and pathogens
will accumulate in the bucket every time the mop
is wrung out. Over time, this leads to
contaminant loading in the solution. The result
is that cleaning effectiveness is significantly
reduced with each use. By the end of the cleaning
process, a custodial professional may actually be
putting more soils on the floor than the mop is
picking up, virtually defeating the purpose of
cleaning in the first place. In some cases,
harmful bacteria and pathogens can be spread
throughout a facility from the use of
contaminated mop water as the custodial
professional moves from one location to the next.

Slips, Trips and Falls
The final drawback to using a mop bucket is that
floor surfaces remain wet for a long time after
the actual cleaning is completed. This poses a
significant safety hazard to the residents in
your facility. Wet and slippery floors are one of
the leading causes of all slip and fall
accidents. A wet floor is dangerous for anyone
entering your facility. The use of wet floor
signs is only marginally successful at alerting
pedestrians to the hazard ahead of them. Slippery
floors pose a significant financial liability
should an accident lead to litigation.
