Vileda’s microfiber mops are safe to use on most hard flooring surfaces including hardwood, tile and laminate. The laboratory has tested on two very common household flooring surfaces, prefinished hardwood flooring and ceramic tiles.

VILEDA microfiber mops do not kill bacteria. They remove bacteria* from the floor with the use of just water. The tiny microfibers physically stick closely to the floor picking up dirt and over 99% of bacteria, and carrying them away - without the need of harsh chemicals.

Disinfecting implies that you are killing bacteria. Microfibers do not kill bacteria but pick them up and remove them from your home’s floors.

Fact: We successfully tested the removal of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, two common bacteria found in homes and the microfiber removed both types of bacteria with just tap water.

The bacteria will be rinsed out of the mop head into the mop bucket and you will not bring them back onto your floor. The testing institute confirmed no recontamination when wiping a rinsed mop head onto a sterile surface.

Yes, the microfiber mop heads can be washed and reused. For best results, wash in warm water by hand or simply wash in the washing machine according to usage instruction.
Avoid using fabric softener. It can coat the tiny microfibers, ultimately making them less effective. Once washed, lay flat to dry.

  

When mopping with a VILEDA mop, you can use any cleaning solution of your choice, but if you prefer to keep harsh cleaning chemicals out of your home, simply use tap water. That’s all you need to get the job done!
