Rubbermaid Commercial Products High Absorbency Spill Mop

Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP) has introduced a High Absorbency Spill Mop designed for busy food and beverage service and retail environments.

The mop kit and accessories are suitable for dealing with the accidental liquid spills and incidents that occur on a daily basis in the hospitality and retail sectors, presenting a serious slip hazard for staff and customers if not dealt with immediately.

It features a no-touch, quick-release design so the user can dispose of the mop pad after use without coming into contact with any liquid or contaminated substance. The single-use disposable pad is made of highly absorbent, non-drip materials that lock liquid inside to contain mess during disposal.

The company claims the mop dries the floor up to 50% faster than a traditional string mop, cutting cleaning time by half. The mop pad is made of a highly absorbent polyacrylate material which can absorb approximately 1 L of water, or 400 mL of high-density fluid (saline or similar), in 30 s.

The non-drip, no-leak mop pad absorbs and locks in liquid and hazardous fluids, turning it into a gel to prevent dripping, for maximum safety when dealing with potentially contaminated spills. The extendable grip mop handle features an integrated quick-release clamp, so the user avoids contact with the soiled mop during disposal.

Both the retractable mop handle and spill pads are ultracompact and so can be stored close to service areas. A wall-mounted cabinet can hold 20 pads.
