Laundering Looped End Wet Mops
  The following procedure for machine washing soiled looped end wet mops will assure maximum performance and longevity:

Wash Cycle:

    

Wash mop head in warm (not exceeding 160°F) soapy or detergent water at low machine speed. Do not exceed manufacturers recommendations for detergent levels.

Centrifugal Extraction:

    

Bring to full speed for 1 to 2 minutes and release.

Hydraulic Extraction:

    

250 PSI pressure for 3 minutes and release.

Drying:

    

Tumble at 120°-160° until dry.

Longevity Tips:

    

Careful initial processing is essential for maximum mop head life. All new mops should be processed separately, if possible, and overloaded 25 - 50% by weight. The "break" operation should be reduced by 3/4, and maximum water temperature (160°F) used. Rinses should be at a low level and the final two rinses should be with cold water.

Notes:

    

  1. The final rinse water should be tested to determine the amount of residual alkali. If level is too high, an additional rinse is required.
  2. To insure total removal of excess alkali, souring may be desired. This should be done according to the recommendation of the supplier of the souring chemical.
  3. All of the processing temperatures are very critical. High washing and drying temperatures can severely damage the fibers.
