Trinity Socket: One smart solution for a fragmented mop market

Different mop systems, different sockets, different handles – often on the same site. The result? Overstocked stores, complex replenishment planning, unnecessary changeover costs, supplier lock-in and time wasted.

After extensive development, Ramon Hygiene Products believes it has solved that problem.

A major step forward in traditional mop design

The newly launched Trinity Socket is a patented innovation designed to simplify traditional mopping at scale. Developed and manufactured in the UK, Trinity is the only socket of its kind compatible with both Exel and SYR Interchange handles, while also fitting standard wooden and most commercial screw thread handles.

In practical terms, this means one socket can now replace multiple existing systems.

Push. Thread. Compress. One socket is all you need

For facilities managers, cleaning contractors and procurement teams, that simplicity delivers immediate and measurable value. Fewer variants equates to lower costs and improved operational efficiency.

Designed for the reality of professional cleaning

With British manufacturing roots dating back over 75 years, Ramon Hygiene has become one of the UK’s leading mop manufacturers and a founding member of the CHSA Mop Accreditation Scheme.

The Trinity Socket builds directly on this experience, tackling a long-standing challenge in professional cleaning: how to standardise mop systems without forcing costly handle replacement programmes or operational disruption.

Because Trinity fits the handles already in use, organisations can:

• Avoid expensive and disruptive changeovers
• Remove supplier lock-in created by proprietary handle systems
• Standardise mop usage across multiple sites, contracts and clients.

For FM providers and contract cleaners operating across varied estates, this level of compatibility delivers immediate, practical benefits.

Commercial advantage for distributors

For distributors, Trinity is more than a product innovation - it’s a range strategy!

By consolidating multiple mop variants into a single solution, Trinity delivers clear commercial benefits:

• Fewer SKUs to manage
• Improved stock availability
• Reduced warehouse space and handling
• Simpler ordering, picking and training
• Stronger cash flow through leaner inventory

In a market where margins are tight and service levels matter, Trinity enables distributors the ability to offer customers a smarter, more efficient solution - while simplifying their own operations at the same time.

Lightweight design with measurable environmental impact

Trinity isn’t just about compatibility, it’s also about responsible design.

Optimally engineered to remove unnecessary material while maintaining strength and durability, the Trinity Socket reduces plastic use compared to Ramon’s previous socket designs. Based on current demand, this equates to an estimated 8 tonnes of plastic saved per year.

This reduction supports Ramon Hygiene’s wider sustainability commitments, alongside UK manufacturing and independently assessed environmental initiatives.

One socket. Every mop type

The Trinity Socket is available across Ramon’s full mop range:

• Hygiene
• PY
• Twine
• Non-Woven

Each is offered in various weights and five colour options, supporting BICSc recommended colour coding guidance to help reduce cross-contamination risk.

This means organisations can standardise the socket without limiting mop choice.

Taking efficiency further: One mop, five colour options, a single SKU

Alongside Trinity, Ramon Hygiene has also introduced a new colour coded tag systemoption, designed to push efficiency even further.

Traditional hygiene colour coding requires multiple SKUs to remain compliant. Ramon’s latest approach uses colour coded identification tags, enabling one mop to support all five hygiene colours.

This LEAN led approach delivers tangible benefits:

• Simpler forecasting and demand planning
• Reduced risk of over or under-stocking
• Lower storage and handling requirements
• Faster ordering and replenishment
• Greater on-site flexibility without compromising compliance.

For procurement teams managing multiple locations, this means fewer variables and cleaner data. For distributors, it means reduced complexity and stronger availability. For operatives, it means the right product is always to hand.

Proudly made in the UK

All Ramon Hygiene socket mops, across both the Duo+ and Trinity fittings, are manufactured in the UK at the company’s Leicestershire facility. This follows significant recent investment in socket mop production capacity, reinforcing Ramon’s long term commitment to UK manufacturing.

For customers, this delivers:

• Consistent, CHSA aligned quality
• Reliable, resilient supply
• Reduced transport impact
• Faster response to market demand.

A practical step forward

The Trinity Socket isn’t about reinventing cleaning, it’s about removing friction from it. By simplifying compatibility and reducing unnecessary complexity, it allows cleaning teams, contractors and distributors to work more efficiently using the equipment they already trust.
