TX7102 ClipperMop with 7" x 4" Head Assembly and Telescoping Handle

Description

Texwipe TX7102 ClipperMop™ Cleanroom Mop Kit — 7" x 4" Head Assembly with Telescoping Handle (Uses 9" x 9" Wipers)

TX7102 is a cleanroom-compatible mopping system for flat vertical and horizontal surfaces where technicians need consistent wipe-and-mop execution without introducing new mop-cover materials into a validated program. The 7" x 4" low-profile, swivel head is designed to clamp standard 9" x 9" cleanroom wipers using non-abrasive clips, helping teams standardize one wiper family for both surface wiping and mopping routes.

For over 35 years, SOS and Texwipe have been close partners, and SOSCleanroom is the authorized Master Distributor of ITW Texwipe for the United States market. That relationship matters in critical environments: it supports continuity of supply, stable product lineage, and faster access to manufacturer documentation for qualification, change control, and audit readiness.

Configuration note for QA change control

Published handle construction varies by document generation. One widely used legacy datasheet specifies a powder-coated steel telescoping handle; newer ClipperMop series documentation lists a telescoping fiberglass handle model (TX7122). If your program is sensitive to handle composition (particles, corrosion, chemical exposure, or ESD considerations), confirm the current shipped configuration under your site change-control process before standardizing.

How the ClipperMop system supports critical cleaning routes

Standardize the contact layer: The same validated cleanroom wiper family can be used for benches/equipment and for mopping, reducing the number of materials your site must qualify and inventory.
Clip-based loading: Non-abrasive clips secure one or multiple wipers to the head. Frequent wiper replacement supports strict cleaning protocols and reduces re-deposition risk.
Low-profile access: The swivel head and compact footprint help reach under equipment edges, around carts, and into confined spaces such as antechambers, isolator exteriors, and gowning areas.
Solution application/removal: Published use includes applying and removing cleaning solutions and disinfectants. Route quality is driven by wet-load control, pass pattern discipline, and change-out rules.

Practical cleanroom use guidance (technicians and engineers)

Define a wet-load target: Over-wetting causes streaking/filming and can spread residues into seams and transitions. Standardize wringing method, dwell time, and solution volume per route segment.
Use repeatable pass patterns: Overlap passes and maintain consistent direction. Random scrubbing increases re-deposition and makes deviations harder to investigate.
Wiper change-out is the control knob: Replace the loaded wiper at defined area/time limits and whenever you see streaking, visible loading, or loss of glide. Extending wiper life is a common root cause of residue carryover.
Stage clean vs. used hardware: Once the route begins, treat the mop as a “dirty tool.” Keep used wipers and accessories segregated to avoid cross-contamination back into clean staging.
Edge control: Avoid forcing wet wipers into door thresholds, drains, or floor seams where residues can accumulate. Use a defined detailing tool where your SOP requires it.

Process-control table (high-impact variables)

Control point	What to standardize	Failure symptom if missed
Wiper loading method	Single vs. multiple wipers; fold pattern; clip engagement check	Slippage, uneven contact, missed coverage, edge drag
Wet-load and wring	Pickup volume, wring force, dwell time before use	Streaking/filming, chemical residue, puddling
Route design	Direction, overlap, boundary rules (doors, thresholds)	Re-contamination streaks, inconsistent results between shifts
Change-out limits	Max area/time per loaded wiper; hard-stop triggers	Residue carryover, particle re-deposition, “sticky” floor feel

Common failure modes

Streaking / film residue: Typically from uncontrolled wet load, chemistry incompatibility with floor finish, or extending wiper change-out too long. Prevent with wet-load targets, defined wring method, and hard-stop change-out rules.
Residue carryover between zones: Triggered by poor staging discipline (clean vs. used) or route shortcuts. Prevent with zone-separated carts, labeled buckets, and one-direction route logic.
Particle re-deposition: Caused by reusing loaded wipers or dragging a drying wiper across previously cleaned areas. Prevent with overlap discipline and frequent wiper replacement.
Clip loading errors: Partial clip engagement or uneven folds can cause edge drag, missed coverage, and slippage. Prevent with a standardized fold pattern and a quick “four-clip check” before entering the room.
Corner/threshold contamination: Forcing wet wipers into seams can trap residues. Prevent with edge control and a defined detailing tool for transitions.

Storage and handling best practices

Keep the kit in original cleanroom packaging until introduction; leverage bag-within-a-bag wipe-down practices if your SOP allows.
Stage clean kits, clean wipers, and prepared solutions in a designated clean area; segregate used wipers immediately after the route begins.
Inspect head edges, clips, and fasteners routinely for embedded debris, damage, or looseness that could compromise coverage or introduce contaminants.
Store dry and protected; avoid placing heavy items on the head assembly where deformation can change contact pressure and streak behavior.
