The advantages of disposables.

1. No effort on collecting and laundering
2. Mop is designed to pick up dust vs wash. He will use less mops and do a better job.  Disposable can be used 10-20 times the average rental.  At the end of the shift brush apply treatment and it is ready to go for the next day. Launderable dust mops are designed to wear well in the wash not dust mop.
   1. Conservatively they are spending $2 each to launder the mops 673 mops every 2 weeks is 2692 per month
   2. Disposables at 10 times more use per mop cost about $670 for 67 mops.
3. They fit is existing frames. 
   

The key is setting a standard on when the mops get changed.  Until they fall off the frame they don’t need to be changed, just brush daily and apply dust mop treatment.  Janitors are spoiled and want a new dust mop every day!  That will be the key objection.  Saving $20K should win out in this economy.
