Advanced Microfiber — take cleaning to a higher level with less impact on the environment and your bottom line.

Minimum Impact Microfiber meets consumer demands for higher air quality and eco-friendly cleaning capabilities. The enhanced dust- trapping advantages improve overall indoor air quality. O’Dell’s Advantage® Self-contained systems actually clean more effectively with 90% less chemicals and water use, greatly reducing cross-contamination.

What is Microfiber? Microfiber is the most advanced cleaning textile available to the Jan/San industry. It is very fine synthetic fiber composed of 80% polyester & 20% polyamide (nylon) 100x finer than human hair. The fibers are split to create microscopic hooks and increase absorbency.

More Savings Microfiber cleaning systems eliminate the need for the heavy, conventional mop and bucket combination. These systems actually clean more effectively with less liquids, reducing labor, chemical costs and wastewater. The microfiber mop heads are easy to launder, can be recycled, and last 5-10 times longer than conventional mops—saving money and helping the environment.

What are the best applications & benefits of Microfiber? Many facilities can operate in a cleaner environment by using microfiber cleaning products. Schools, healthcare facilities, and offices are all appropriate settings for the use of microfiber wet and dry pads.

Cleaning for Health With rising concern over indoor air quality, microfiber cleaning systems continue to be developed that keep cleaning for health as their foremost goal. • Improve Indoor Air Quality – with microfiber’s superior dust-trapping ability • Reduce cross-contamination – with a bucketless system

Less Waste Make your green cleaning commitment complete with O’Dell’s Rewind® Mop Recycling Program, the first take- back program in the Jan/San industry. All O’Dell textile products, including microfiber, can be recycled, which saves landfill space, precious raw materials, and energy.

• Improved Ergonomics – lighter weight systems reduce worker fatigue • See link below for cleaning comparison, microfiber vs. conventional mops, in a healthcare setting. http://www.epa.gov/region09/waste/ p2/projects/hospital/mops.pdf

Microfiber Care Followmanufacturer’s recommended guidelines for water temperature and detergents. • Do not use chlorine bleach or strong alkaline detergent.

• Launder microfiber wet pads, finish pads, and conventional mops separately. Do not use fabric softener when laundering microfiber. • Dry below 140º F, avoid over-heating the pads. Remove promptly from dryer when finished.

Maximum Cleaning O’Dell’s line of Microfiber cleaning products offer ultimate cleaning performance where it’s needed most—schools, healthcare facilities and offices. Perfect for wet or dry applications, the ultra-fine, positively charged synthetic fibers deliver deeper cleaning with maximum dust attraction and liquid absorption.

• Always launder in a mesh laundry bag • For best results use a front load washer • If using a top load washer with an agitator, select the delicate cycle

How does Microfiber work? The dense construction of split microfibers creates a more efficient cleaning system through: • Positively charged microfibers attract negatively charged dust • Pulls liquid and soil particles away from surfaces • Surface tension is broken, allowing the option of cleaning with water or with fewer chemicals.

MICROFIBER lifts and locks dirt and moisture deep within fibers
