FAQs
Can I purchase just one mop head?
No, the Robert Scott Kentucky Mop is sold only in full carton quantities to maintain professional bulk supply standards.
Is the mop handle included?
No, this product is for the mop head only. A compatible Kentucky-style handle must be purchased separately.
What does PY stand for?
PY refers to Polyester Yarn, which is a blend designed for high durability and absorbency in commercial cleaning applications.
How often should I replace the mop head?
The frequency depends on usage; however, for heavy daily use, we recommend inspection every 3-6 months for signs of fraying or reduced absorbency.
Can this mop be used with floor chemicals?
Yes, the PY material is designed to be resistant to standard commercial floor cleaners and detergents.
Does this mop fit a flat mop frame?
No, this is a Kentucky-style mop designed specifically for Kentucky-style frames and wringer buckets.
Troubleshooting
Mop head is shedding fibers during use
New mops may shed slightly upon initial use; rinse the head in a clean bucket to remove loose fibers before the first mopping session.
Mop smells musty after storage
Ensure the mop is stored in a dry, ventilated area and is not left wet in a dark cupboard; disinfect by soaking in a mild sanitizing solution.
Difficulty fitting into handle/frame
Verify that your frame is a standard Kentucky-style frame; the 16oz size is designed for standard width frames.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly absorbent fibers ensure efficient floor drying
- Durable construction suitable for daily heavy-duty use
- Wide yarn spread reduces time spent on large floor areas
- Compatible with industry-standard Kentucky handles
Cons
- Sold only in full carton quantities, requiring bulk storage
- Does not include the mop handle or frame
- Requires proper wringing to prevent excessive water retention
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the mop, slide the header band into a standard Kentucky mop frame and secure the locking mechanism. Ensure the mop head is fully submerged in a cleaning solution before its first use to 'break in' the yarn fibers. To care for your mop, always rinse the head thoroughly after each use to remove chemicals and dirt. Allow the mop to air dry in a well-ventilated area with the head facing downward. Avoid leaving the mop soaking in a bucket of dirty water, as this will lead to premature fiber degradation and unpleasant odors.
