Texwipe TX7108H AlphaMop® Replacement Mop Head — 15" x 8", Teal Thermoplastic (Head Only)
TX7108H is the replacement head assembly for the Texwipe AlphaMop® flat mop system used to clean floors, walls, and ceilings in controlled environments. It is a rigid, thermoplastic mop head designed for wider surface coverage and repeatable cleaning passes when paired with compatible AlphaMop covers/pads and a facility-defined wetting/wringing method.

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 for critical-environment mopping programs: it supports continuity of supply, stable product lineage, and fast access to manufacturer documentation for qualification, change control, and audit readiness.

Contamination control is driven by process discipline
A cleanroom mop head is hardware in a controlled process. Define the system (head + pad + cover), define the wet load, define the pass pattern, and define the change-out rules. Most floor “failures” trace back to inconsistent wringing, chemistry residue, or cross-contamination carryover — not the head itself.
System fit and matching components (for spec writers)
This head is typically qualified as part of a complete AlphaMop system (head + pad + cover + handle + bucket/wringer). Use the table below to keep part selection consistent across shifts and sites.
Component Published options (examples) Why it matters
Replacement head TX7108H (standard head); TX7108AH (autoclave safe head) Keep head type aligned to your sterilization/processing plan. If autoclaving is required by SOP, standardize the autoclave-safe head model and qualify the cycle.
Handle options Fiberglass and telescoping options are available in the AlphaMop series Reach control and operator ergonomics directly affect contact pressure, streaking, and missed coverage.
Pads and covers Polyester and microdenier cover/pad sets; sterile and non-sterile options; pre-wetted cover options (as published) The cover (not the head) is the primary contact layer for particle pickup and solution delivery. Standardize one cover family per room grade whenever possible.
Practical cleanroom use guidance (technicians and engineers)
  • Qualify as a system: Validate the head with the exact pad/cover you will run, using your actual disinfectant set, buckets/wringer, and floor finish. System changes are where variability enters.
  • Control wet load: Define a repeatable wet pickup target and wring method. Over-wetting drives streaking/filming and can spread residues into seams, corners, and transitions.
  • Use defined pass patterns: Overlap passes and avoid random scrubbing. Consistent direction and overlap reduce re-deposition and help QA troubleshoot deviations.
  • Prevent cross-contamination: Stage clean heads/covers separate from used items. Treat the mop as a “dirty tool” once it starts the route.
  • Change-out rules: Define area/time limits per cover and enforce replacement when streaking begins or visible loading occurs. Extending cover life is a common root cause of residue carryover.
Process control table (recommended for SOPs)
Control point What to standardize Failure symptom if missed
Wringing method Number of wring cycles, wring force, and dwell time before use Streaking, puddling, inconsistent disinfectant film
Bucket discipline Clean vs. rinse bucket order (if used), solution labeling, volume marks, and change frequency Residue carryover, concentration drift, odor/film complaints
Route design Direction, overlap, and boundary rules (doors, thresholds, drains) Missed coverage, re-contamination streaks, inconsistent visual results
Cover change-out Max area/time per cover; hard-stop replacement triggers Smearing, particle re-deposition, “sticky” floor feel after dry-down
Compatibility and wipe-down notes
  • Disinfectants and cleaners: The AlphaMop system is published for applying and removing solutions, including disinfectants, and for use with common disinfectants/cleaners. Qualify under your site chemistry set and floor finish.
  • Solvent handling: Avoid uncontrolled solvent pooling and do not store wet heads/covers against plastic surfaces where residues can concentrate. Follow your facility dry-down and contact-time rules.
  • Autoclaving: If your program requires an autoclaved head, standardize an autoclave-safe head model and qualify the cycle (the AlphaMop series publishes autoclave conditions for the autoclave-safe head option).
Common failure modes 
  • Streaking / filming: Usually chemistry residue plus inconsistent wringing. Prevent with wet pickup targets, controlled wring force, and defined pass patterns.
  • Residue carryover: Caused by extending cover life too long or poor bucket discipline. Prevent with hard change-out limits and (where used) rinse-then-recharge logic.
  • Particle re-deposition: Using a loaded cover past capacity or contacting dirty staging areas between passes. Prevent with controlled staging and replacement rules.
  • Corner/threshold contamination: Rolling the head onto edges or forcing solution into seams. Prevent with edge control and dedicated detailing tools where required.
  • Hardware damage: Impacts with sharp debris, drains, or rough flooring transitions. Prevent by clearing route hazards and avoiding aggressive scraping with the head assembly.
Storage and handling best practices
  • Keep the head in original packaging until use; stage in a designated clean storage location per your material transfer SOP.
  • Separate clean and used mopping components immediately after the route; do not place used items on carts intended for clean staging.
  • Inspect routinely for cracks, burrs, or embedded debris that could transfer contamination or damage flooring.
  • Store dry and protected from dust and chemical vapors; avoid stacking heavy items on the head where deformation could affect contact and coverage.

The Technical Vault Cleanroom Mopping Systems & Techniques (Applied Use Case: Texwipe™ TX7108H AlphaMop® Replacement Head — Head Only)

Purpose & Scope

The Texwipe™ TX7108H is the replacement head (head-only) for the AlphaMop® floor-cleaning system. In cleanroom programs, replacement heads are not “spares”—they are part of contamination control because worn frames, bent edges, and debris trapped in attachment points can cause streaking, redeposition, and media damage. This Technical Vault entry focuses on how to manage the mop head hardware as a controlled tool within your SOP.

Visual Aids (Technique, Zoning, Lifecycle)

Use this graphic as a quick training reinforcement tool: stroke discipline, zone-based tool control, and lifecycle management (including mop hardware).

Implementation note: Diagram intent is educational. Align technique, zoning, and change-out rules to your facility SOP and validated cleaning program.

What “Replacement Head (Head-Only)” Means in a Controlled Program

The TX7108H is the hardware frame/head assembly—not the mop media itself. Many facilities control mop media tightly (pads/covers and their packaging) but under-control the frame. In practice, the frame can become the weak point: it contacts floors, holds residues at seams and attachment points, and can abrade mop media if edges deform.

  • Frames are contamination surfaces: treat them as cleanroom tools, not “durable equipment.”
  • Frames can shed indirectly: burrs, bent edges, or debris can damage mop media and increase shedding.
  • Frames drive technique: poor articulation or warped geometry causes inconsistent pressure and streaking.

Inspection & Change-Out Criteria (Hardware)

Replace the mop head hardware when any of the following conditions are observed. These criteria are intentionally practical and map well to audit expectations for controlled tool management.

  • Warping / loss of flatness: inconsistent surface contact, visible streaking, or “high spots” during passes.
  • Burrs, sharp edges, or deformed corners: increased risk of abrading pads/covers and releasing fibers/particles.
  • Residue buildup at seams or attachment points: chemistry crystals, sticky films, or trapped debris.
  • Loose fittings / degraded attachment mechanisms: head movement causes inconsistent pressure and poor lane control.
  • Unexplained performance shifts: increased streaking or redeposition after chemistry/program is unchanged.

Cleaning & Handling (Head Assembly as a Controlled Tool)

  • Post-use wipe-down: include a defined wipe-down step for the head assembly after use and before storage.
  • Do not store wet: avoid leaving the head in pooled chemistry or with saturated media attached between shifts unless SOP-controlled.
  • Attachment-point hygiene: focus on clamp/slot areas where debris and dried chemistry accumulate.
  • Dedicated storage: store in a protected location (labeled by zone/chemistry) to prevent cross-use and incidental contact contamination.

Field tip: If a facility experiences “mystery streaking,” the root cause is often hardware contamination or deformation—not the cleaning agent. Inspect head flatness and edge condition before changing chemistry.

Technique Reminder (Flat Mop Systems)

  • Prefer unidirectional strokes with 10–20% overlap.
  • Keep the head flat; avoid edge riding and excessive downforce.
  • Control saturation: damp-to-wet, not dripping, to prevent pooling and residue.
  • Change media based on zone size and soil load; avoid redeposition by reusing overloaded media.

SOP & Audit Readiness Checklist (Replacement Heads)

  • Define inspection points (flatness, edges, fittings, residue traps) and inspection frequency.
  • Define objective change-out criteria and document replacement as part of tool control.
  • Segregate head assemblies by zone/chemistry where applicable; label storage and prevent cross-use.
  • Include head wipe-down and dry storage requirements in the cleaning tool SOP.

Disclaimer: This Technical Vault content is provided for educational purposes only. Manufacturer instructions, facility SOPs, and site-specific risk assessments must always take precedence. Cleanroom suitability and contamination performance are determined by the complete system configuration (head assembly + mop media + packaging/handling) and validated site practice.
