The principle of electrostatic adsorption mops and hand-free mops mainly relies on the electrostatic adsorption effect, as follows:
The principle of electrostatic adsorption
Electrostatic adsorption mops and hand-free mops utilize the electrostatic effect to adsorb and lock in fine dust and dirt. Its mop is usually made of a special nonwoven fabric, which is endowed with static electricity during the production process, known as electret. When the mop comes into contact with the ground and is dragged, the static charge attracts the dust and fine particles on the ground. These tiny particles are adsorbed onto the surface of the mop instead of being simply pushed or lifted.
Physical capture assistance
In addition to electrostatic adsorption, the fiber structure design of the mop also helps to physically capture dirt. The tiny fiber gaps can capture and retain dirt particles, further enhancing the cleaning effect.
No-hand-wash design
The hand-free feature of the electrostatic adsorption mop is reflected in its disposable mop design. Because the mop accumulates a large amount of dirt during the cleaning process, in order to maintain the cleaning effect and hygiene, this kind of mop is usually designed for single use. After use, users can directly discard the mop without washing it, thus avoiding the trouble of hand-washing the mop.
