===Dry mop, dust mop=== A '''dry mop''' or '''dust mop''' is designed to pick up dry, loose contamination such as dust, earth, and sand from the surface of the floor. It consists of yarn and/or [[microfiber]] and can be used as a first step in cleaning a floor. Professional dry mops consist of a flat sheet of microfiber textile or sheets with a surface of looped yarn, usually about {{Convert|15|cm|0|abbr = on}} wide, and comes in variable lengths (usually {{Convert|30|-|100|cm|0|abbr = on}}). The dry mop can in many instances replace a [[broom]] and has the ability to hold a limited amount of dust, sand, and debris within itself. The heads of dry mops are often removable and can be washed and replaced when saturated with dust.<ref>{{cite web |title=Choosing the right mop for the job |url=http://www.clean4less.co.uk/choosing-the-right-mop |website=Clean4less Janitorial Supplies |access-date=7 August 2016}}</ref> Another option is using a [[vacuum cleaner]] to suck surface dust away from the mop; however, this is much more limited in its effectiveness. Single-use dry mops are also available and widely sold.
