All About Centrifuge Mops
Today, in the age of information and innovative technologies, any process becomes automated. Especially if it is a personal service. There is practically no person left who does not have an electric stove, washing machine, microwave oven and other equipment useful for the home. However, the inventors did not stop there. Brilliant people have even modernized the mop for cleaning premises, adding a centrifuge to it.
What is it and what are they?
The centrifuge mop is the perfect item for wet cleaning with dry hands.
The system has unique content to make the process as comfortable as possible:

nozzles (with rotating, mechanical, metal support);
-
hinge for 360-degree rotation;

centrifuge;

pedal.
Nozzles with high hygroscopicity allow you to cope with manual cleaning and collect as much dirt and dust as possible from any surface in a short time, without putting much effort.
