Sweeping or Floor Mopping

A push broom and a string mop look like the simplest tools on a job site, and they still take weeks to use well. The sweeper has to see dust in bad light, keep the pile moving in one direction, and work around furniture, cords, and people. The mopper has to read the floor for grease, manage a bucket of water that gets dirtier with every wring, and leave the surface neither streaked nor flooded.

The broom goes in short overlapping strokes with the bristles flat, pulling toward the worker in a corridor and sweeping away in an open room. Dustpans get held at an angle that depends on the floor texture. A mop gets dunked, wrung to a specific dampness that the worker judges by weight, and laid down in an S pattern that is pulled rather than pushed. Buckets get changed when the water turns, and the wet floor sign goes out before the first stroke.

Flat microfiber mops with a pre-wetted pad appear in hospitals and clean rooms, and the motion changes again. Our head-mounted cameras record what the worker looks at as they decide where the dirt is. Fixed cameras from the room corners give the full path and the overlap pattern. Collection runs through full shifts in restaurants, warehouses, schools, and hospitals in five countries.
