HOW TO:
USE ERGO ADJUSTABLE HANDLE
PROCEDURE
Rubbermaid’s Quick Connect Ergo Adjustable Handle helps minimize awkward hand
positions when mopping.
MF Damp Mop • Q410
1
Attach the Ergo Adjustable Handle to the Quick Connect Frame, ensuring the Quick
Connect latch clicks into place.
Place damp mop pad or dust mop pad on floor with white, logo-imprinted backing
side of the pad facing upward.
Push the Quick Connect Frame onto the pad.
Adjust handle length by loosening the black locking ring and extending or collapsing
handle length to suit. When the handle tip aligns with the user’s chin height, it is the
deal length for general floor cleaning tasks. Retighten the locking ring before
beginning to mop.
Clean floor using Figure 8 strokes. Working with the handle pointed upward is
the most comfortable position for this cleaning technique.
For push-and-pull cleaning, working with the handle pointed downward may
be the most comfortable position.
To remove a mop pad from the Quick Connect Frame, grasp the fabric loop and peel
the pad away, or
Step on an exposed edge of the pad, and with the other foot on the opposite edge
of the Quick Connect Frame, lift the handle, peeling the pad away.
TIP: Always dust mop prior to damp mopping to reduce floor hazing.

HOW TO:
DUST MOP A ROOM
PROCEDURE
1
Remove large debris from floor, clean up any wet spots or spills, and then affix the
Quick Connect Handle to the 18” Quick Connect Frame, ensuring the latch clicks into
place.
Attach a clean Q418 Dust Pad to the Quick Connect Frame by placing it on floor with
white, logo-imprinted backing side of the pad facing upward.
Push the Quick Connect Frame onto the pad.
Beginning at the far corner of the room, dust mop the floor using overlapping
Figure 8 strokes, while moving backward toward the doorway.
When finished dusting the room, remove the pad from the frame using the step-on
method:
Step on an exposed edge of the pad, and with the other foot on the opposite edge of
the Quick Connect Frame, lift the handle, peeling the pad away.
Use handle and frame to lift the soiled pad from the floor for deposit into
laundry bag: position the Quick Connect Frame cross-ways to the pad,
engage the hook-and-loop, lift and deposit.
Repeat steps 2 through 9 to clean each room.
Note: Microfiber has a natural static electric charge that helps attract and retain
the tiniest dust particles.

TOOLS
HOW TO:
DUST MOP LARGE AREAS
TIPS
• 100% Microber Mops are best
for dusting—having the most
ber ends to grab and hold dust
electrostatically as well as having
the best surface contact.
• Follow all established safety
procedures.
• Wear all appropriate personal
protective equipment (glasses,
gloves, etc.).
24” – 60” Fringed Dust Mops
PRE PARATION
Remove large debris from floor, clean up any wet spots or spills, and then affix the
Quick Connect Handle to the 18” Quick Connect Frame, ensuring the latch clicks into
place.
Attach a clean Dust Pad to the Quick Connect Frame by placing it on floor with
white, logo-imprinted backing side of the pad facing upward.
Push the Quick Connect Frame onto the pad.
Beginning at the end of the hallway or the far corner of the room, dust mop the
floor by pushing the mop along the floor along side of the wall.
Work your way across the room using overlapping mopping paths.
When the dust mop pad becomes loaded with dust, refresh it by vacuuming away
the accumulated material, or by wiping it away with a damp sponge.
To remove a large dust mop pad from the Quick Connect Frame, grasp the pad by
the fabric loop and peel away.
Deposit soiled mop pad into the laundry bag.
TIP: Select a mop size that will complete the task in the smallest number of
passes. If a hallway is 60” wide, a 36” mop will clean it in 2 passes, but a 24”
mop will require 3 passes, taking more time to clean the space.

PROCEDURE

6
Pick up all large debris from floor.
Be certain any wet spots are dried before dust mopping with Microfiber.
Reason: Microfiber dust mops are so dense with fiber and so absorbent that they
will “stick” to wet spots making the mop difficult to push.
Select a mop size that will complete the job in a minimum number of passes.
Example: If a hall is 60” wide, a 36” mop will complete the job in 2 passes.
A 24” mop would require 3 passes. Therefore, the 36” mop is a more efficient
and better choice.
