ABSTRACT:
A mop head comprising a plurality of absorbent strands and an abrasive pad located close to a first ends of the strands may be used in a conventional manner to perform abrasive point load mopping. In a method of abrasive point load mopping, the abrasive pad mechanically breaks up surface contaminants that have accumulated on a kitchen floor without substrate surface deterioration. No special skills, special cleaning solutions or special equipment are required in order to effectively improve the floor's coefficient of friction and thereby reduce the risk of injuries from slips and falls. In one preferred embodiment, the mop head also includes a second abrasive pad located at the mop handle attachment, intermediate the first abrasive pad and the handle.
