The Essentials

There is a lot more to floor cleaning than meets the eye. There are tons of brushes & mops available. Each type has a specific use.

Floor Cleaning Brush Types

There are several factors that need to be kept in mind when focusing on brushes. While buying a good floor cleaning brush it is pertinent to look at the recovery strength and softness of its bristles. Recovery strength refers to a bristle’s ability to retain its original shape and rigidity, even after consistent use. Bristles with good recovery strength will be durable. They will not break or splay out from the center. Bristle softness is a measure of how coarse bristles are to the touch. Soft bristles are ideal for delicate surfaces, while hard bristles are useful for cutting through tough grease and grime.

It appears overwhelming but if you understand the different types of bristles available & their typical applications, it will make the decision easier & swifter.
