Disgusting But True

The disgusting truth about mops is that they fail to effectively remove harmful bacteria, but there’s more. Mops also breed bacteria in their musty fibers, and they leave behind a slipping hazard that injures people and drives up insurance premiums. Enough already. Get the facts and Stop the Mop!

#1 Mops only remove about 50% of surface bacteria.Source →

#2 Within one hour of sterilization with bleach, a bathroom can completely recolonize with microbes.Source →

#3 Bacteria thrive by eating urea in urine residue. That’s what gives off that telltale ammonia odor.Source →

#4 About 45% of bacteria on restroom surfaces are fecal in origin.Source →

#5 Dead bacteria left behind from mopping with chemicals become a food source for other bacteria.Source →

#6 A toilet flush is like a sneeze that sends aerosolized urine and fecal matter as far as 36 feet away.Source →

“I Stopped The Mop”

We totally got rid of mops. They don’t do a good job; they’re not cost effective. New technology has made mopping obsolete. I find it amazing that mops are still being used as much as they are. Why would I make my employee use a dirty, nasty mop? The dignity of the worker matters.
