Microfibre washing
Best Practices
Diversey microfibre mops and cloths offer many benefits over traditional cleaning methods including productivity
improvements, uncompromised hygiene security, improved ergonomics and sustainability. Microfibre mops and cloths
are made from very thin fibres to trap and hold dirt, bacteria and dust from surfaces. The dirt and bacteria are only
removed from the microfibre during the wash process.
How microfibres work:
Microfibres grab and hold dirt, dust and bacteria from surfaces.
When used dry:
Microfibres attract soil and bacteria by static charge
When used wet:
Microfibres attract soil and bacteria through
capillary action

guidelines
Wash mops and cloths separately
Launder mops and cloths from infected areas separately
Fill machines to max. 60% of capacity to optimize
mechanical action
Removing mops and cloths from laundry nets will improve
the removal of particulate soil, particularly strands of hair
Designate separate ‘clean’ and ‘dirty’ areas in the laundry

solutions
Always use a ‘flush’ in the pre-wash to remove particulate
soil. In this step no detergent should be added.
2 In the main wash always use a detergent specifically
developed for microfibres.
3 The number of rinses has to be as high as possible
because residual detergents could damage the microfibre
structure during drying if not removed properly.
For mechanical pre-wetting add a building care detergent
to the final rinse and omit the subsequent drying step.
4 Dry at the lowest possible temperature max. 55-60°C;
use a cool down step if available.
