In building cleaning operations, hundreds of mops are used every day, and they are usually heavily soiled after use. To clean the mops, many companies use external service providers or wash them in household washing machines. However, washing mops daily is a challenge for a conventional washing machine, and dosing problems often arise: If too little detergent is used, the mops do not get properly clean; if too much detergent is used, residues often remain in the mops, which impair the mopping process during cleaning.
Disinfection and hygiene are of particular importance in hospitals, senior living facilities, and nursing homes. Mops that are not cleaned thoroughly are not only unhygienic but also do not remain usable as long as mops that are washed in professional washing machines. Dirt residues and limescale deposits can damage the fibers and affect the durability of the mop covers.
Cleaning Mops in a Commercial Washer
The ATOLL industrial washing machine from STAHL offers a wide range of benefits for commercial cleaning companies when it comes to washing mops:
- Many sizes
The ATOLL industrial washing machine from STAHL is available in many sizes and has a higher capacity than a conventional household machine. Businesses can wash many mop covers in a single load, saving time and labor. - Thorough Cleaning
The ATOLL commercial washing machine can clean mop covers more thoroughly and gently than a conventional household machine. The ATOLL’s drum features perforations that run from the inside to the outside with funnel-shaped, gentle radii: This increases the desired friction effect within the laundry while reducing friction against the metal. Even heavily soiled mop covers are cleaned gently this way. - Energy Efficiency
The ATOLL is exceptionally energy-efficient. The ATOLL's automatic load detection and other innovative features ensure that only as much water and energy as necessary for the wash cycle are used. - Durability
STAHL's laundry machines are robustly designed and built with a minimum number of wear parts. STAHL manufactures all of its machines exclusively at its facility in Sindelfingen. - Ideal Amount of Detergent
STAHL machines are fully programmable and easy to operate. Once set up, liquid dosing runs automatically, but can also be adjusted manually at any time.
