Wipers, Dusters and Mops - Microfiber Technology
Paper will no longer be used as a cleaning tool. Instead, re-useable, launderable, microfiber cloths will be used to reduce paper waste. Chemically Treated Dust Cloths will not be used. When possible and effective, microfiber cloths and mops will replace other disposable cleaning tools (i.e. sponges, scrub pads, cloth rags, cloth mops, dusters) with shorter life cycles to minimize waste. Discarded clothing will be recycled as cloth rags when possible. When possible, microfiber cloths will be used without chemical cleaning agents to minimize chemical use. Microfiber dry mops or reusable untreated dry mops will be used in place of chemically treated dry mops. Microfiber wet damp mopping systems will be used when possible, as well as recycled content PET plastic wet mops (100% recycled post-consumer PET, 66% post-consumer waste and 67% post-industrial waste) and bamboo (65% bamboo and 35% reclaimed hardwood) mop handles.
