Did you know that spending $1 towards preventing dust, dirt and debris from entering your building could save you $10 in cleaning costs? If not, SITEX can help! Dust mats and mops working together make a powerful duo that can keep your facilities clean. That being said, what do you need? SITEX offers a variety of mats and mops, for whatever your facility needs are.

Entrance and Custom Logo Mats

You’re probably familiar with entrance mats, and for good reason. These mats can trap up to 80% of the dust that is carried into buildings on people’s shoes. This may not seem like a lot, but 1,000 people can carry in 24lbs of dirt in just 20 days; and once that dirt is in your building, removal costs can be outrageous. The international Sanitary Supply Association found that removing a single pound of dirt could cost more than $600. You’re saving tons of money and preventing hassle with entrance mats! But do you have the ones you need? The best mats will be made of a fine-ply carpeting, which will absorb most materials. Custom logo mats offer the same benefits as regular dust mats, but they also serve as a great advertising opportunity for your business. Customized mats can be used in specific areas where soil is generated or where a spill may occur, which keep your employees safe and reinforce your brand at the same time.

Dust and Wet Mops

Mats can work wonders for keeping your workspace clean, but mops are indispensable for all the debris that mats can’t handle. SITEX carries both dust mops and wet mops for any cleaning needs. Dust mops are usually made of microfibers and attract and collect dust and dirt, unlike brooms, which are best suited for larger particles. Dust mops can be shaken clean, and washed or replaced when necessary. These are ideal for any flooring that can be easily scratched or damaged.

There are a variety of wet mops available, but depending on your needs, some will be more useful to you than others. For example, a mop with a higher-ply may seem like a better buy, and it does mean a more durable mop, but also a less absorbent one. The absorbency of the mop should be considered based on the job it’s going to be used for. The size of the mop has more to do with its absorbency than the material, but microfiber mops are typically more absorbent than traditional materials.

Now you have all the gear you need to keep your workspace clean, but we know you’re busy and have bigger things to worry about than cleaning, which is why SITEX also offers facility services. We’ll do the cleaning for you. To get started with SITEX today, contact us online or call us at 1-800-278-3537.
