  1. 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. HTTP://WWW.BETCO.COM | 1-888-GO-BETCO

  2. PROFESSIONAL OPENION Let’s 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. HTTP://WWW.BETCO.COM | 1-888-GO-BETCO

  3. Picking Up Dirt or Spreading It Around? Now, let’s 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. 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. However, more soil, HTTP://WWW.BETCO.COM | 1-888-GO-BETCO

  4. 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. HTTP://WWW.BETCO.COM | 1-888-GO-BETCO
