If you are using the "old standard" single mop bucket without a proper rinse, you are just contaminating the disinfectant solution with a dirty mop and smearing dirt and animal debris around.
The double bucket mop system, along with microfiber mops allows for rinsing and wringing debris from the mop in-between cleaning applications. It keeps the cleaning/disinfectant from becoming contaminated and less effective, and it helps to speed up the cleaning process.
Here's how to use the double bucket mop system:
Prep: Fill the gray bucket with rinse water and fill the blue bucket with the appropriate amount of cleaner/disinfectant dilution.
Step 1: Rinse the mop in the gray bucket.
Step 2: Wring the rinse water out of the mop.
Step 3: Dip the mop in the blue bucket that contains the diluted cleaner/disinfectant.
Step 4: Wring the mop and then mop a section of the floor. Repeat as necessary until the entire area is cleaned.
