How would you describe Filmop top-of-the-range mopping systems? What elements make them a cut above others?
Innovation, hygiene and health are three pillars that have always guided the design of every Filmop solution: the equipment produced in over 40 years of activity is the result of a careful study not only of objective performance but also of the impact on health.
Our top-of-the-range systems guarantee excellent results in terms of cleanliness and hygiene, respecting the health of the operator: they are characterized by a design with great attention to details that guarantee maximum convenience, speed and ergonomics. They stand out also for some special features that offer important advantages: the automatic fixing system of the mop saves the operator from bending continuously to fix and drop it, requiring less effort in comparison with traditional cleaning systems. The touch-free system allows fixing and releasing the mop avoiding direct contact with the hands, thus reducing the cross-contamination risk. In addition to these advantages, Filmop offers another big one: our mop holders can be equipped with Lock System to easily clean also walls and ceilings, ensuring maximum adherence to surfaces for better cleaning results. This system can be switched on and off by simply pushing up or down the locking device with one's foot, without the use of one's hands and without bending anymore. Besides the Lock System joint, the mop holders are also available with ErgoSwing joint to increase their performances, while decreasing the efforts: this innovative system allows reducing significantly the wrists' bending, facilitates the "S" movement and assures the correct posture, preventing the onset of work-related illnesses.
