The Clean Sweep | August 2025

As summer winds down and the first signs of fall start to appear (bring on the cooler weather), I’m reminded that some things never go out of season—like taking care of our customers the way my family has for four generations. 

At Zephyr, we believe the right tools and the right service go hand in hand. This month’s spotlight is on our cut end mops, our most popular style of mophead. They’re affordable, highly absorbent, and always ready to tackle the job, just like our team is always ready to help you find exactly what you need with personal customer service. 

Product Spotlight: Cut End Mops

Last month, I highlighted our looped end mops. This month let’s take a closer look at our cut end mops, their features, advantages, and why they are great options for your customers.

Why Cut End Mops?

• Value – More economical than looped end mops
• Disposable – Laundering is not recommended for most cut end mops, as the ends can fray or tangle, so they are ideal for facilities without laundering equipment.
• Versatile – Available in narrow, wide, and screwflat head types; many types have an optional tailband to reduce fraying and improve cleaning efficiency.
• Material – Choose from a variety of materials for different needs and applications.
  • Cotton: Highly absorbent
  • Rayon: Dries quickly and is lint-free
  • Synthetic: Superior strength
  • Blends (cotton/rayon/synthetic): Suited for heavy-duty jobs and generally launderable
• Multiple Sizes – From 12 ounces to 32 ounces to handle everything from light spills to large-scale cleaning.

Our cut end mops are affordable, reliable, and always ready to work.

The Zephyr Way: Service You Can Count On

I recently came across a study showing that 80% of customers believe the experience a company provides is just as important as its products and services.

As the proud owner of a fourth-generation, family-owned business, that didn’t surprise me. Still, it’s hard to ignore how customer service has shifted—from relationship-based interactions to more transactional ones—driven by automated phone systems, chatbots, and self-service kiosks. Those tools can be helpful; however, they can’t replace a real conversation with someone who knows your name, understands your needs, and wants to help.

That’s why at Zephyr, we keep it personal. Call us, and you’ll speak to a human being, every time. Email us, and you’ll get a timely response from someone who’s glad you reached out. We believe every touchpoint should feel like you’re talking to a trusted partner, not navigating a system.

If you have questions about our products or need help finding something specific, call us at (800) 821-7197 or email info@zephyrmfg.com. We’ll make sure you get exactly what you need.

Our team is committed to serving you.
