The cleaning techniques of rotary hand-free mops mainly focus on efficient operation, dehydration effect and floor protection. The following are the specific methods:
First, the cleaning stage
Pre-treat stubborn stains
If there are dry stains on the floor (such as sauce or mud stains), they should first be wiped off with a damp cloth or paper towel to prevent the stains from spreading or damaging the mop fibers when mopping directly.
Control the amount of water and the cleaning liquid
Water volume: Add an appropriate amount of clean water to the clean water area of the mop bucket. The water level should just cover the mop cloth to avoid excessive water causing water to splash during cleaning.
Cleaning solution: If a cleaning agent is needed, it is recommended to dilute it at a ratio of 1:50 and add it to the clean water area. Excessive cleaning agent may cause the mop to become sticky or leave residue on the floor.
Standardize the cleaning actions
Place the mop head vertically into the clean water area and make sure the mop is completely wet.
Pull the mop handle up and down 3 to 5 times. Use the rotating structure of the mop head to make the mop cloth fully contact with clean water to remove surface stains.
Avoid swinging the mop horizontally to prevent sewage from splashing out of the bucket.
Second, the dehydration stage
Select the appropriate dehydration area
Move the mop head to the dewatering area and ensure that the dewatering basket or dewatering device is fully aligned with the mop head to avoid incomplete dewatering or component damage due to misalignment.
Control the intensity and frequency of dehydration
Gently press the pedal: Gently press the pedal with your foot. The gear transmission will drive the mop head to rotate at high speed, and the centrifugal force will be used to dry the water.
Repeat operation: After the first dehydration, if the mop is still wet, you can step on it 2-3 times, with a 2-second interval each time, to avoid motor overheating caused by continuous stepping.
Observe the dehydration effect: After dehydration, the mop should have no obvious dripping water and only remain slightly damp, which is convenient for subsequent mopping.
Third, the mopping stage
Zonal cleaning
Start from the corner of the room and mop the floor in a straight line to avoid the spread of stains caused by dragging back and forth.
After mopping 2 to 3 square meters, put the mop head back into the clean water area for cleaning and dehydration to ensure that the mop cloth remains clean at all times.
Handle corners and obstacles
For narrow areas such as corners and the bottom of furniture, you can rotate the mop head to an appropriate Angle or use the rotatable joint that comes with the mop to flexibly adjust the direction.
When encountering obstacles, gently lift the mop handle over them to avoid pulling hard and causing damage to the mop handle.
Control the force of mopping the floor
Keep the mop stick at a 45° Angle to the ground, gently press the mop head, and use the adsorption force of the mop cloth to remove the stains. Avoid scratching the ground due to excessive force.
Fourth, maintenance and upkeep
Clean the mop bucket regularly
After each use, pour out the dirty water in the sewage area and rinse the dewatering basket and the bucket wall with clean water to prevent dirt from remaining.
Air out the mop
After dehydration, place the mop head in a well-ventilated area to dry, avoiding direct sunlight that may cause fiber aging.
Inspect the components
Regularly check whether the pedals, gears and other components are loose or worn. If any abnormality is found, repair or replace them in time.
Fifth, Precautions
Avoid overloading.
The area to be cleaned at a time should not exceed 50 square meters. If a larger area needs to be cleaned, it is recommended to do it in batches.
Prevent hair tangling
If there are hairs entwined on the mop, you can clean them with a comb or scissors to avoid affecting the dehydration effect.
Adapt to the ground material
For wooden floors: After dehydration, the mop should be even drier to prevent water from seeping into the gaps and causing expansion.
For tiles/marble: The amount of cleaning liquid can be appropriately increased to enhance the decontamination power.
Carpet: Do not use rotary mops to prevent fibers from entangling the mop head.
By applying the above techniques, the rotary hand-free mop can achieve efficient cleaning and convenient maintenance, while also extending its service life.
