Introducing Valutek’s New Butterfly Mop System

Wipers are available in both dry and pre-saturated versions, eliminating the need for operators to mix chemicals, ensuring consistent cleaning results, reduced chemical exposure risks, and minimized handling errors.

Mop head wiper attachments come in a standard 16-inch size, providing 4 wiping surfaces when properly folded, or an 8-inch economy size, providing 2 wiping surfaces – front and back.

Deterioration of Launderable Mop Heads

As with all reusable products, launderable mop heads are subject to deterioration over time. If the number of washing cycles and laundering process isn’t carefully monitored, mop heads can begin shedding particles that aren’t immediately noticeable. Once particles are visible to the human eye, it’s often too late and the critical processes of the cleanroom have already been at risk.

To add another layer of complexity, if the laundering process is not done effectively and consistently, some contaminants from soiled mop heads are inadvertently transferred to clean ones. This cross-contamination can compromise the cleanroom environment and impact the quality of sensitive products or processes.

Valutek’s single-use wiper attachments eliminate these problems and allow for a more tailored cleaning approach.

Operator Fatigue

Reducing operator fatigue is essential for ensuring proper cleaning techniques. Heavy, cumbersome mops can discourage rigorous cleaning, especially in hard-to-reach areas like corners, walls, and ceilings.

Valutek’s lightweight, low-profile aluminum swivel head and adjustable stainless-steel handle ensures effortless maneuverability, making it superior for hard-to-reach areas like corners, ceilings, walls, and other confined spaces.

Lack of Compatibility with Cleanrooms

Commercial and industrial mopping systems aren’t always compatible with cleanrooms, especially in the most stringent Class 1-10 (ISO 3-4) critical environments.

Valutek’s mop system, specifically built for these environments, uses compatible materials to ensure adherence to cleanliness classifications.

The Valutek Difference: Cleanroom-Specific Design

Valutek adapted decades of cleanroom wiper processes and methodologies to design a mop specifically for controlled environments. The robust process in place for how to use a wiper to clean a flat surface were translated into a mopping system, ensuring efficiency and reducing contamination risks.

Commitment to Quality

All Valutek mop systems undergo testing and are manufactured in ISO compliant facilities under Valutek's inspection and rigorous process control to maintain Valutek's high-quality standards and product specifications

By following IEST’s IEST-RP-CC018 guidelines for cleanroom cleaning, operators can maximize cleaning efficiency and ensure proper contamination control.
