Better Brush 173218 18" Microfiber Looped Mop Kit with Aluminum Frame, Telescopic Handle & 3 Pads

Better Brush 173218 18" Microfiber Looped Mop Kit with Aluminum Frame, Telescopic Handle & 3 Pads

The Better Brush 173218 18" Microfiber Looped Mop Kit provides commercial cleaning professionals with a complete microfiber floor care system ready for everyday facility maintenance. The kit combines a lightweight, low-profile mop frame with an adjustable telescopic handle and three color-coded looped microfiber pads, giving custodial teams the flexibility to tackle a variety of wet and dry cleaning tasks.

The trapezoidal frame is designed to reach into corners and along edges while its low-profile construction allows the mop to slide underneath furniture, desks, fixtures, and equipment. A 360-degree swivel joint provides excellent maneuverability in congested areas, helping operators clean efficiently around obstacles without constantly repositioning the mop.

Industrial-grade recessed hook-and-loop strips securely hold compatible microfiber pads during cleaning while helping protect the attachment material from premature wear along the edges. Rounded end caps provide additional protection for walls, furniture, and fixtures if accidental contact occurs during use.

Three looped microfiber mop pads in blue, green, and red are included with the kit. Facilities can use the different pad colors to establish their own color-coded cleaning program, assigning individual colors to specific departments, rooms, or cleaning zones to help prevent pads from being used outside their designated areas.

Why Choose a Microfiber Mop System?

Microfiber mops provide an efficient alternative to traditional string mops for routine commercial floor maintenance. Their flat, low-profile design improves access beneath furniture and equipment, while microfiber material helps capture fine dust, dirt, and soil from hard floor surfaces. Reusable microfiber pads also allow facilities to maintain a consistent cleaning program without relying on disposable mop heads for every cleaning task.

Color-Coded Cleaning

The included blue, green, and red microfiber pads allow facilities to establish a customized color-coded cleaning program. Individual colors can be assigned to specific cleaning zones, departments, or applications, helping staff identify which mop pad should be used in each designated area.

Because color assignments can vary between organizations, each facility can create a system that matches its own cleaning procedures and policies. For example, separate colors may be assigned to restrooms, general building areas, foodservice spaces, or other designated cleaning zones.

360° Maneuverability

The 360-degree swivel joint allows the mop frame to move smoothly around desks, furniture, fixtures, and other obstacles. When additional control is needed, the swivel can be locked to help maintain a more consistent position for specialized cleaning tasks.

Clean Beyond the Floor

The low-profile frame and locking swivel design provide versatility beyond routine floor cleaning. Depending on facility procedures and the selected microfiber pad, the system can also help clean accessible vertical and elevated surfaces where a controlled flat mop configuration is appropriate.

Improve Cleaning Efficiency with Microfiber

The flat 18-inch cleaning platform allows operators to cover floor surfaces efficiently while maintaining excellent maneuverability around furniture and obstacles. Unlike bulky traditional mop heads, the low-profile microfiber system can reach beneath desks, tables, fixtures, and equipment where dirt and dust commonly accumulate.

Build a Color-Coded Cleaning Program

The three included microfiber pads provide an easy starting point for facilities that want to implement color-coded cleaning procedures. Individual pad colors can be assigned to specific rooms, departments, or cleaning zones according to the facility's own policies.

For example, a facility may choose to designate one color for restrooms, another for general-purpose cleaning, and another for foodservice or other designated areas. Color assignments should be established and communicated by each facility based on its cleaning procedures and cross-contamination prevention policies.
