Colour-Coded Mop Head
The Colour-Coded Mop Head is a replacement yarn head for everyday wet or damp mopping. Product code 102266 identifies the 200g PY Exel socket mop, giving you a specific size and fitting to match when replenishing your cleaning kit. It is supplied as a head only, so an existing compatible handle can remain in service when the working head needs replacement.
The absorbent recycled PY yarn is intended for smoother hard-floor surfaces. For moisture-sensitive finishes, follow the flooring manufacturer's instructions and wring out excess liquid before starting. A practical cleaning routine combines the right head with a suitable bucket, correctly diluted floor cleaner and a plan for keeping people away from the wet area until it is ready for use.
Red, blue, green and yellow sockets help staff recognise which equipment belongs in each cleaning area. Choose colours according to your premises' written cleaning policy and keep the allocated tools separate throughout use, cleaning and storage. Colour provides a useful visual reminder, but a consistent routine and well-maintained equipment are still needed when moving between different tasks.
The Exel push fitting is designed to hold the head securely during wringing. Match it to a compatible handle and check the assembled connection before use. Review our mops, buckets and accessories when putting together a floor-care kit, or browse janitorial cleaning supplies for the other equipment needed on your cleaning round.

Directions for Use
1. Select and fit the head
Choose the colour allocated to the area and a compatible handle. Secure the head using the fitting instructions, then check the connection before wetting or wringing it. Replace damaged components before starting.
2. Prepare the floor and solution
Remove loose debris and mark the cleaning area with suitable warning signs. Prepare a floor-compatible cleaner at its stated dilution in a suitable mop bucket. Check the floor's moisture and chemical-care requirements.
3. Mop with controlled moisture
Wet the head and wring out excess solution. Work in manageable sections, keeping the equipment within its assigned area and avoiding unnecessary soaking. Renew dirty solution as needed rather than spreading collected soil back across the floor.
4. Clean, dry and store
Rinse and clean the head according to the site's procedure, then allow it to dry before storage. Inspect the yarn and socket for wear or damage. Keep the floor restricted until dry and store the mop in its designated location.

FAQs
Which size is this mop head?
This listing is for the 200g head identified by code 102266. Use the code as well as the colour when reordering; other heads in a similar-looking socket range can have different yarn weights or materials.
Which handles will it fit?
Robert Scott lists Exel push-fit, Hygiene screw-fit and compatible Wooden handles for this socket. Its narrower-thread Homeware handles are not compatible. A colour match alone does not establish compatibility with another handle. Check the connection or ask Astral Hygiene for help before ordering an unfamiliar fitting.
Does the price include a handle?
No. The listing supplies one replacement head in the selected colour. A compatible handle, suitable wringer bucket and cleaning solution are separate parts of the mopping setup.
What do the four colours mean?
Use the area assignments in your premises' cleaning policy. Red, blue, green and yellow make tools easier to distinguish, but the colour scheme must be explained to staff and followed consistently during use and storage.
Is it suitable for every floor?
No single wet-mopping method suits every finish. This PY yarn head is intended for smoother hard floors; check the surface's instructions, use an appropriate cleaner and control moisture, especially on floors that must not be saturated.
How should I care for it between uses?
Clean and rinse the head after the task, let it dry and keep it in the assigned storage area. Follow any supplied washing instructions rather than assuming a laundering temperature. Replace the head when damage or wear prevents effective cleaning.
