A Disposable Dust Mop will provide effective cleaning long after it appears soiled. Diminished effectiveness, not soil, is the signal to replace the mop. Here are some tips to help you extend your mop's life:

1) Unload the mop by shaking it over a receptacle whenever the mop leaves a trail of dust.

2) A mop should be brushed daily to fluff the yarn and completely unload it.

3) For storage, hang mops with their backs against the wall.

4) Once or twice a week, refresh your mops with Dust Mop Treatment after brushing them. When dust clouds fly up when the mop is shaken clean, or when the dust no longer looks like lint, the mop needs re-treatment. You can judge how frequently to retreat your mops by the amount of dust they sweep and the square footage they cover.

5) Dust Mop Treatment is economical because it is so concentrated: a little goes a long way. Never "wet down" your mop, just spray it lightly along the seams. Treat your mop at the end of its day's use and allow it to cure overnight.

6) Do not let discoloration determine when you discard your Disposable Dust Mop: if you follow the suggestions above, it retains its cleaning ability as long as you can attach it to your mop handle.
