Does this mean that "Maintain" works so well that you no longer need to dust mop?

No. But, the need is greatly reduced.

The amount of dust and fiber in the air that settles on your floor determines your program. "Dust Whiz" on a mop will certainly remove what is on the tile, but a large, flat bottom dust mop will not get down to the bottom of the grout joints. Therefore, you might have fine dust accumulate in the grout joints that can be moved back to the tile face by air currents. The best overall solution is to periodically use Aldon Dust Whiz as described on its page. The frequency that you need "Maintain" and "Dust Whiz" will be determined by your situation, but work is greatly reduced by the combination of the two products.

Even mopping a floor has a few tricks of the trade. Here is what the professionals do:

Use two buckets. The second with clean water to rinse the mop.
Dip clean mop in Maintain solution and squeeze as dry as possible.
Move mop in a figure eight pattern for the tile faces and straight down the grout joints to pull out dust.
Anytime you see a white residue, it is from minerals in your mop water - not this product. Let some water (from the same source as your mop water) evaporate from a glass and note the minerals left behind.
It has been reported that after using Maintain the floor has less tendency to show animal prints. Possibly because there is no sticky residue from Maintain.

Because we are constantly improving information and passing on tips from users, this could be more up to date than the label on the container.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

If you do not see the results you expect:

It is not a problem with the product! (They all do what we say they do!)

Your conditions may have been misdiagnosed! (It can happen, even with all the information we provide.)

The surface conditions (absorption rate, contaminents, temperatures, etc.) are other than thought.

And/or - it was not applied per label instructions! (The instructions are designed to overcome items 1 and 2 above, and overcome job conditions of which you might not be aware.)

When you read all the health and safety warnings, you will see we have done our best to make you think about working with any chemicals from any manufacturer. Even household cleaners purchased in supermarkets (many with more hazardous ingredients than we use due to cost factors) should be used with common sense and awareness. People have been injured by not knowing you can create poisonous gases by mixing chlorine bleach with some cleaning products. One of the many criteria involved in Aldon products is that all our products will be used with any other of our products and no normal combination of usage events should be hazardous. Nevertheless, use common sense and don't be in a hurry. Let each step prove itself satisfactorily before proceeding to the next.
