Mopping and scrubbing are often used interchangeably, but they do or can have differences.
Mopping is done with a mop, regardless of size or type of mop. (Ex. household mop or the longer industrial mops) The friction between the floor surface and mop's twisted strings can differ depending how much pressure or force the person uses.
Scrubbing (manually) does not involve a mop. Typically, it means getting down on your hands and knees with a rag and bucket of water to do a more thorough cleaning.
Scrubbing (mechanical) involves a large machine which has a scrubber attached to the bottom. The friction is caused by a motor that moves the whole unit side to side as a person guides the machine. These are used in hospitals, schools, office buildings. The machines are quite heavy. As a side note, after scrubbing (cleaning), the machine can be tipped backwards and a waxer head attached. This applies wax evenly across the floor. After waxing, a polisher head can be attached. The polishing head is a soft, often white, cloth that polishes a waxed floor to a high sheen. In many hospitals, cleaning (scrubbing), waxing and polishing is routine. Most hospitals still use the standard square pail (marked "caution") which is on wheels with large mop for daily cleaning.
Did you know--- As part of their education, students in nursing schools used to have to scrub floors on their hands and knees up until about the 1940s. All nurses prior to 1920 also scrubbed hospital hallways/floors manually.

What's the diff. btwn face exfoliation and microdermabrasion Is there a possibility and is it necessary that I can do both Can i do them one right after another or is there a time limit?
Both of them do the same basic thing--remove the top layer of skin cells--so you only want to do one or the other. The difference is microdermabrasion is far more thorough. It's the difference between scrubbing a pan with cleanser (exfoliation) and scrubbing with an electric sander (microdermabrasion). A lot of microdermabrasion is combined with infusion--a moisturizing liquid is forced into your skin after the dermabrasion is done. This is a very effective technique.
