Commercial Brooms & Mops
Restaurants and hotels require heavy-duty cleaning tools, so it's important to choose brooms and mops that can handle the demands of a commercial environment. There are several types of commercial brooms and mops available, and selecting the right one depends on your specific cleaning needs and surfaces.
If you're looking to avoid scratching surfaces, a dry dust mop is a good option. These are made from soft materials and are ideal for gentle sweeping. They typically have a wide frame to cover large areas efficiently and are used with a push motion, similar to vacuuming, rather than the traditional sweeping technique. Dust mops are great for quick coverage in open spaces.
The coarser the bristles on a broom, the better it will be for greasy or oily floors. Old-fashioned corn brooms are particularly effective in these situations. Some models feature multiple bristle types for improved versatility, and angled or smaller heads make it easier to clean in corners and tight spaces.
Mops should be durable and reusable for long-term use. They’re ideal for cleaning up liquid spills and stuck-on residue that brooms can’t handle. For best results, sweep first and mop second when cleaning large areas.
Colour-coding your cleaning tools can help maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination. For example, use green mops for indoor areas, blue for washrooms, and red for outdoor use. Keeping mop and broom use clearly separated by area is especially important in foodservice environments.
Dustpans are also a useful addition, especially for indoor sweeping tasks. If you have questions or need help selecting the right commercial brooms and mops, contact us today.
