Different Types of Mop Heads and Best Uses for Each

Keeping your kitchen floor clean and spotless is an essential part of running an efficient and profitable restaurant. However, like most such tasks, you need the right equipment. When it comes to mops, there is no one right answer. The truth is there are a number of different types of mop heads, each designed for a specific job. We'll start with the very basics: what is the difference between a wet mop and a dry mop? The answer is pretty simple: dry mops, also called dust mops, are not used with any water or liquid cleaners. They are not necessarily designed to be super absorbent to clean up spills. Wet mops are meant to be used with water and/or cleaning chemicals and are typically more absorbent for easy spill clean up.
