How to maintain moisture-proof and maintenance of the mop at home.
Now we all have mops in our homes, but do you know how to prevent moisture and repair mops?
The family is one of the main places of our daily life. A comfortable and tidy home environment is very important. The mop is a good helper for us, but the floor will be wet after the mop, especially in rainy weather. You can add a few tablespoons of salt to warm water. After the salt is fully dissolved, soak the mop in salt water, wring it out, and start mopping the floor. Warm salt water will evaporate faster than cold water, and the floor will dry faster.
Because the magnesium chloride and calcium chloride in table salt can absorb water and prevent water vapor from condensing on the ground, the mop will become small particles after absorbing water and drying, and the drying time will be prolonged. It needs to be understood clearly.
When repairing, you can use a common Phillips screwdriver to remove the pedal first, and then use the M4-M5 hexagonal internal buckle to remove the red big gear; then remove the rack, remove the damaged spring, and press the new spring to On the bayonet of the rack; then use needle-nose pliers or other tools to install the other end of the new spring on the other bayonet of the pedal; install the entire pedal after the big gear is installed.
Should the mop be disinfected after it is used up?
The mop that is used repeatedly is most suitable for the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms because it is in a humid environment for a long time. There are mainly the following categories:
1. Microorganisms such as mold fungus Candida. These microorganisms can multiply rapidly in warm and humid environments. Some of them can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc., and in severe cases can cause respiratory and intestinal diseases.
2. Dust mites. Dust mites are one of the causes of allergic diseases. If you use such a mop to mop the floor, these bacteria and microorganisms will move around with the mop and spread the bacteria everywhere.
If the skin of the body comes into contact with these bacteria, it is easy to cause allergic dermatitis such as eczema. In order to mop the floor clean, some housewives wring the mop dry with their hands. They do not know that this happens to be infected with bacteria, and people with allergic constitutions are prone to skin diseases.
How to disinfect the mop?
It is best to disinfect household mops regularly. The best way to disinfect, if the house is relatively ventilated and the climate is relatively dry, just wash the used mop with clean water, and then expose it to the sun for a period of time to keep it dry. Secondly, use ordinary disinfectant water for disinfection, such as: Lyso water, potassium permanganate solution and bleaching powder. Use 1%~5% Lyso water solution to soak and disinfect for about 30 minutes. Secondly, use 5%~10% bleaching powder clarified solution for 30 to 60 minutes to achieve the disinfection effect. In addition, when mopping the floor, you can use low-concentration potassium permanganate and bleach to sprinkle on the floor, which can eliminate most of the bacteria. Household disinfection must not be too much, because some people are afraid that the disinfection effect is not good, so they deliberately increase the amount of disinfection water, so that the smell is not easy to disperse at home, causing another kind of pollution.
What are the mop materials? How to clean the mop?
When cleaning at home, we will use mops for cleaning. There are many mops materials, and different materials have different effects. However, the mops still need to be cleaned regularly. The following briefly introduces the mop materials and cleaning method.
1. Rubber cotton.
The mop head is made of colloidal cotton. It has good water absorption. It can be cleaned without soaking before use. It can be cleaned by the principle of static electricity generated by friction. It can effectively absorb dust and hair. It is cheap and easy to replace. Very simple, but this material is not easy to clean the position of narrow gaps.
2. Cotton.
Cotton mop heads are the most common, often used to mop wooden floors, but due to material problems, mopping the floor will leave a lot of marks after being wet, and the cotton slivers often stick to some debris, which is more difficult to clean up. When using cotton mops It is best to clean the ground first.
3. Fiber.
Fiber mop heads are more expensive. The principle of friction static electricity can be used for cleaning, which can reduce the wear on the ground. It can also be used to polish some items, but it needs to be cleaned in a specific way when cleaning, otherwise it will be easy Reduce service life.
After each use of the mop, be sure to clean the mop head in time, because there will be debris on the mop, and if it is not cleaned in time, it may produce peculiar smell if it is stored all the time. Wring dry after scrubbing, and then put it in a ventilated place for air drying to avoid odor.

Some mop heads are easy to stick to the hair. When scrubbing, you can use a special brush to brush the hair down, and then clean it. In addition, you can also wait for the mop to dry and stick it clean with tape to avoid the hair falling to the ground when the mop is used again.
For mops of different materials, you should choose the corresponding cleaning methods to improve efficiency. For example, mops made of rubber cotton can only be used after the mop head is soaked and softened. Mops with static dot cloth need to be sprayed with electrostatic liquid before use. , The correct use method can not only improve work efficiency, but also extend the service life.
In the process of mopping the floor with a mop, if we want to ensure the best cleaning effect, we can mop the floor along the floor texture, so that it is easier to remove the dirt on the floor, so as to achieve the best cleaning effect.
Before using a mop for cleaning, it is best to use a broom or vacuum cleaner to clean up the dust and debris on the ground, and then use the mop to mop the floor. This can effectively increase the life of the mop and prevent dust from accumulating on the mop. , Produce peculiar smell.
What problems should be paid attention to when buying a new mop?

(Note, if the quality of the rubber cotton head you buy is not very good, the soaking time should be longer. No matter how long the soaking time, you have to wait for the mop head to become soft before using it)
3. After mopping the floor, clean the newly bought collodion mop and put it in the bathroom, in a cool place, and do not put it on the balcony in order to avoid premature aging of the colloid mop. Shorten its service life.

Be careful when washing mops, and mops of any material should be cleaned with neutral detergent. As a cleaning tool, it is necessary to clean itself, and it is best to put some disinfectant water to disinfect. But not all mops can bask in the sun. Generally, mops made of ultra-fine fibers, non-woven fabrics and collodion materials should be dried. When exposed to the sun, the materials may shrink and deform, and the adsorption effect will be weakened. The cotton mop is going to be exposed to the sun, because it will shed hair and have a peculiar smell because it is wet for a long time.
