Caught a quick presentation by Dan Welton of Contracting Profits in the magazine's "CleanLink Minute" on Microfiber mops and the U. S. Green Building Council's LEED for Existing Buildings Operations and Maintenance program.
Dan mentions sustainability requirements, and that microfiber mops use less water and chemical than string mops. Doubtless because of the one minute format, he omits other advantages, some "environmental", some not: fewer workplace injuries (a lighter mop and less frequent mop bucket dumping); floors drying faster (because less solution is left on the floor) leading to fewer slip/fall injuries among both workforce and the public; less particle mass left on the floor, to be kicked up by foot traffic or airflow to contribute to poorer indoor air quality; less pathogen cross-contamination room to room or area to area; greater employee productivity; cleaner looking floors.
Not much to not like. Used 'em for years.
