Most Janitorial companies are still using the outdated mop and bucket system.  Using outdated floor cleaning methods do more harm than good.   After years of improper floor cleaning procedures facilities start to see the damage after it is too late.  Here's how it works:  A string mop is dipped into a bucket containing cleaning solution.  The mop head becomes soiled when the solution is spread onto the floor. The soiled mop is dipped back into the contaminated bucket and the dirty solution gets re-applied to the floor.  Instead of removing soil, the string mop spreads it around leaving the floors almost as dirty as they were when you began mopping.  This process is not only detrimental to the floors, but can leave floors slippery and can increase the chances for a slip and fall accident.  Contrast this to the no dip, bucket less system: Cleaning solution is applied to the floor directly from a separate dispenser. The mop head is never dipped into the cleaning solution. The cleaning solution never becomes contaminated. When this system is used, you are actually removing the dirt and not spreading it around which provides your company with cleaner and safer floors.
