  • Just as important is to make sure it dries out fully between uses. Bugs like nothing better than dampness.

    What about them? Viruses need to invade living cells to reproduce and most can only survive hours outside a host (with the exception of Norovirus and C. Difficile).


    Unless you are planning on chewing on the dry mop, I don't think you need fret too much.

    OK you bought a fancy name which cost £3+ a head rather than £1 for a head on a stick.

    I was thinking change once a month or more if only used once a week.

    Another option is chuck it in the washing machine(rinsed first optional).
