Daily Maintenance: Keep Your Mop Cleaner Longer
After each use:
-
Rinse the mop head thoroughly under warm running water until water runs clear.
-
Wring completely dry – A damp mop is a breeding ground for bacteria.
-
Hang to air-dry in a well-ventilated area – Never store standing in a bucket.
-
Never store damp – This invites odor and mold.
