TEST RESULTS & ENVIRONMENTAL analysis
Test Results for Several Microfiber Mop Brands for Absorption, Application Efficacy, and Wasted Disinfectant Product
This study evaluated ADVANTEX® (Brand A) and several brands of single-use microfiber mops and determined that differences vividly exist between brands on several critical criteria such as disinfectant neutralization, absorbency and dispersion/release efficacy, floor coverage, and wasted chemical solution. The full-length microfiber mop case study and lab results are available upon request. (By David Harry and Jack McGurk, MPA.)

Environmental Life-cycle Analysis
Summary & Results: The ADVANTEX® Single-use Mop has a significantly lower environmental impact than a reusable laundered mop in every category assessed in the EPA TRACI model. A contribution analysis on the global warming potential of the two indicates that the electrical power and chemistry needed to wash and dry the reusable mop dominates environmental adverse implications.

This report summarizes the findings of an environmental impact analysis of two types of mops, the ADVANTEX® Single-use Microfiber Mop (disposable) and a reusable microfiber mop. Each type of mop was evaluated for 100 uses. The ADVANTEX® Single-use Mop included 100 mops that were each used one time and then disposed of after being transported 20 miles to an incineration facility.
