Microfiber Mop Head Review


Someone has to clean the floor!
MicrofiberMopPads004.jpg


Here at Autogeek I wear a lot of hats, most my job duties are a lot of fun and I never think of my job as work. Over the years I've had a lot of people tell me how lucky I am to have their dream job and I never go a day without being thankful for my job and appreciate the opportunities I've been blessed with over the years...

That said...

Someone has to clean the floors!

That is someone, (me), gets to clean the Racedeck TuffShield floors in Autogeek's Show Car Garage to keep them clean and shiny and one thing I've learned over the years from detailing cars is that other people will never give a project the care an attention that you will when it comes to something that's important to you. Because I take a lot of pictures of really cool cars and we film a lot of video and TV in our studio... it's important to me that everything looks clean and shiny including the floor.

A few months ago I found some microfiber mop heads on my desk and was asked if I could use these in the studio and the answer was YES!

So here's a review of a few of the microfiber mop heads now available at Autogeek.net. These can be used any place you have a floor you want to clean,

  • Boats
  • Garages

Green Microfiber Dusting Mop - Dry Dust First
The green color of the Microfiber Dusting Mop indicates it is to be used DRY. When cleaning the studio floor, both the RACEDECK TuffShield tiles and the polished concrete floors, I'll start out using the dusting mop to remove all loose dust and dirt.

Two styles of microfiber pile lengths
The green microfiber dusting mop comes with two pile lengths of microfiber strands, a short strand for collecting small particles and a large twisted loop style for large debris and for capturing debris out of corners and along walls.

Blue Microfiber Scrubber Pad - Wet Clean Second
The blue color indicates the microfiber mop pad is to be used wet. Here I'm using the scrubber pad for loosening and removing ground in compound, polish and wax splatter.

The Scrubber Pad has rows of stiffer, more coarse bristles to safely scrub the floor without scratching.

Blue Chenille Microfiber Mop Pad - Can be used dry dusting or wet cleaning
The large alien-like microfiber fingers make this mop head very versatile for either dry dusting or wet cleaning and works great of un-even surfaces.

Always work clean
One of the things I write about in my how-to book, on the forum and teach in detailing classes is the importance of working clean. So before we started this project I dusted and mopped the floor.

This morning I came in and as a part of normal housecleaning duties cleaned the floors. Here's the results and keep in mind, this was after polishing out just one car that took less than 4 hours and the floor was clean before we started.


Here's the green dusting mop I used next to a clean mop pad to show you how much dust the pad removed from just the RACEDECK tile floor.

You can't work clean if the floor is dirty...

Mike does a great job with the floors and the laundry, his fiance will be happy with that I am sure!
 
OMG you must be psychic, I just got done cleaning the garage floor and was wondering "Only if they made better tools to clean the floor with, and somehow with microfiber because of its cleaning ability." I am hopping on this! Cleaning the floor has got to be the most dreaded thing I have to do. lol Thanks Mike and Autogeek!

Outstanding, Mike! I've been eyeing these up for a long time at another site, good to know they are now available at Autogeek, and much better with your tutorial.

Now I just need to paint my garage floor so it's smooth enough to mop :o
 
On the job training............the new to be wife is smiling.
 
to think...

my wife makes fun of me for using the shop vac to clean the garage.

So have you ever been tempted to use that Blue Chenille Microfiber Mop Pad on a car Mike? Looks pretty similar to the usual Chenille Microfiber mitts :D
 
I work for a linen rental company and offer microfiber dust mops as one of our products. They have become quite popular as of late. Mostly in the medical field.
 
This could be my way to get a few more detailing supplies and have my wife actually ordering from Autogeek. I am thinking she will need OPC to get the floors clean. Maybe some Menzerna Power Finish to get the scratches out of the tile. Black Fire Wet Diamond All finish paint protection would probably look really nice on the floor. I just ordered some Meguiars D120 for the windows. What other supplies could I get her to order with this.
 
I have used ONR on hardwood floors. I also have used DP waterless but it seemed to left surfaces too slick.

Haven't given it much though, I tend to use whatever mitt is already in one of the wash buckets in the studio, kind of the old,

"Whatever's closest to my hand"



I have used ONR on hardwood floors. I also have used DP waterless but it seemed to left surfaces too slick.


I mist on some APC for stains on the tile or Detailer's Waterless Auto Wash if I'm just doing a once-over.

I have hand-waxed the tile floors in the past but I'll probably use one of the mops for this now along with the XMT 360 Spray Wax.

Gives a good shine!


Tile Wax

This is the before side...

There are various stains from car care chemicals randomly over the floor

I will be buying some of these to clean my garage floor! As soon as I graduate in the Spring, and get a job, and save up for a down payment on a house, and buy a house :)
