Vådvasker

Vådvasker is a Norwegian term that translates to "wet washer" or "damp cleaner". It refers to a device or method used for cleaning surfaces with a damp cloth or pad, rather than a soaking wet one. This technique is often employed for tasks where excessive moisture could be detrimental to the surface or material being cleaned, such as cleaning electronics, delicate furniture, or painted walls.

The principle behind vådvasker is to use just enough moisture to lift dirt and grime without saturating the surface. This can be achieved by using a cloth that has been wrung out thoroughly or by employing specialized cleaning tools that dispense a controlled amount of liquid. The type of cleaning solution used will vary depending on the material being cleaned and the nature of the dirt.

Vådvasker is a common practice in household cleaning, particularly for dusting and removing light stains. In professional settings, it might be used in environments requiring precise cleaning protocols, such as laboratories or museums. The advantage of this method lies in its efficiency and minimal risk of damage compared to traditional wet cleaning. It is a gentler approach that effectively cleans without leaving behind excessive water residue.
