The MESH-BLU blue 18 inch loop-end microfiber mop pad is the reusable workhorse pad for commercial janitorial routes that have moved away from disposable string mops. A looped polyester face glides cleanly over hard floors, the mesh backing rinses out fully in the laundry, and a hook-and-loop attachment fits standard 18 inch microfiber pad frames.

- Janitorial and BSC routes through offices, manufacturing, hospitality and food service
- Operations that want to replace disposable string mops with launderable microfiber to cut waste and labor

Frequently asked questions
How many times can I wash this before it wears out?
Expect 500+ machine wash cycles when you wash warm with mild detergent and skip fabric softener. Fabric softener coats the fiber and kills the static charge that holds dust to the pad, so it shortens useful life dramatically.
Why use microfiber instead of cotton string mops?
A microfiber pad weighs about 70 percent less when soaked, dries the floor roughly 4x faster, and removes a much higher percentage of bacteria and viruses using water alone. It also reduces total mop-related labor on a typical route.
Is this safe for hospital floors?
Yes - the color-coded design supports zone separation programs, and microfiber tolerates higher laundry temperatures than cotton for thermal disinfection.
Does this leave lint on the floor?
No - microfiber is lint-free. The fibers are roughly 1/16 the diameter of a human hair and statically attract dirt into the pad rather than shedding strands.
