Objective
To compare the effectiveness of four different dust-cleaning tools at capturing dust versus dispersing dust.
Method
Siegfried Lerchbaumer, an expert on ambient air hygiene, ran a test to measure the level of respirable dust pollution created while dusting an area with four different dust-cleaning products.
Results
The Products
- Broom
- Dust mop
- ENJO Dust Floor Fibre
- Vacuum
Each product was tested on its dust-cleaning ability on the exact same cleaning surface with the same amount of dust.
To measure how effective each product is at cleaning dust, the amount of dust dispersed into the air during the cleaning process was measured.
Thus, the results will indicate how much dust is actually removed during the cleaning process by measuring how much becomes airborne and impossible to clean.
The Verdict
The dispersal of dust was highest using a conventional dust mop and lowest using ENJO’s Dust Floor Fibre and vacuum cleaner.
The ENJO Dust Floor Fibre created 13-times less dust pollution compared to the conventional dust mop, indicating the fibres superior ability to trap dust instead of dispersing dust.
