The Meth. Blue is great as an oxygen carrier. The eggs probably 
aren't fungusing because they are not dying from a lack of O2.

Returning to Dav's 'probiotic' theory. This could be the case. On the 
mop will also be a host of predatory protozoans which will prey on 
the bacteria etc... If there are chemicals in the mop killing these 
and the bacteria then the eggs will be at greater risk as no doubt 
the bacteria will be able to colonize the eggs faster than anything 
else and get out of hand without the protozoans around to keep them 
in check.

Some of my best mops are my oldest mops which have been through 
several tours of duty.
