Equipment and consumables Floor cleaning – Dust cloths
About 80% of soiling in buildings comes in the form of dust. Wet/sticky dirt only accounts for a small proportion of soiling. Dust can carry almost all known micro-organisms and acts as a carrier of such dangerous micro-organisms as MRSA. This means that throwing up dust during mopping or vacuuming must be prevented at any cost.

Original quote from the FIGR report “Non-textile, smooth and slightly textured floors should generally be pre-cleaned with a dust-binding cloth for effective, and hygienically uncompromising cleaning results. The test results have confirmed that the Wetrok Masslinn dust-binding cloths can be highly recommended for dust-binding mopping.”
Good to know – Dust-binding mopping Dust harbours germs. When dust is agitated and made airborne, it carries germs and distributes them around the room. Moisture and warmth offer ideal conditions for microorganisms to thrive. The basic rule for flawless hygienic cleaning results is therefore: Always use a Masslinn or Microsol cloth to remove germ-ridden dust before any wet mopping. • Microorganisms that adhere to loose dust are distributed across the floor during wet mopping, in effect creating ideal conditions for germ colonisation. • Micro-organisms cannot reproduce without moisture. That is why dry dust-binding should always be preferred and subsequent wet mopping is advised only for stubborn dirt!
