Mop Heads
Commercial mop heads are essential workhorses for UK restaurants, hotels, and cleaning services needing to maintain spotless floors day in, day out. These aren't your basic home cleaning tools—professional mop heads feature industrial-grade materials like microfiber, cotton, and synthetic blends designed to tackle high-traffic areas. Available in Kentucky, PY, and microfiber varieties, they attach to standard handles and deliver superior absorbency for those inevitable kitchen spills. After 50 years supplying the catering trade, we've seen how quality mop heads pair brilliantly with colour-coded buckets and handles to create efficient cleaning systems that keep health inspectors happy and customers impressed!

How Commercial Mop Heads Work
Ever wondered how professional mop heads do their magic? The secret's in the construction—these workhorses feature densely packed fibers (cotton, microfiber, or synthetic blends) attached to durable socket bases that clip securely onto standard mop handles. When you're mopping, the fibers create surface tension that lifts dirt and grime rather than just pushing it around. Kentucky mops use thick cotton strands to hold impressive amounts of cleaning solution, while microfiber versions grab microscopic particles with their split-fiber design. Most commercial heads have colour-coding for designated areas—blue for general spaces, red for high-risk zones—making cross-contamination prevention dead simple!

Safety Guidelines

- Check Equipment Inspect handles for splinters or damage—avoids injuries.
Top Tips for Using Commercial Mop Heads
To get the most from your commercial mop heads, implement a two-bucket system—one for clean solution, one for rinsing—this dramatically extends the cleaning power of each mopping session. Wash cotton mops at 60°C and microfiber at 40°C to maintain their effectiveness, and always hang them to dry between uses rather than leaving them in buckets. Replace mop heads when they start to look grey or frayed, regardless of age, and consider keeping cleaning trolleys stocked with spare heads for immediate changeovers during busy periods.
