Robinson Services went for two new Comac scrubber dryers; the

ride-on machine. “When we secured the contract we inherited a
great team of individuals. But they’d had been using old and
unsatisfactory floor cleaning machines which took time to operate
and maintain, which meant less time was spent on other cleaning
duties,” explains Gareth Lester of Robinsons.
“The new Comac machines allows us to clean the centre’s floors in
less time than was previously possible, and to a much better
standard. The machines are also extremely simple to operate and
maintain, giving the onsite team more time to deliver an enhanced
level of cleaning performance and productivity, a win-win for both us
and our client.
“Also, as a contract cleaner we know one of the most time and
profit consuming tasks is recruiting and training staff. The fact that
our operators enjoy using the Comac equipment means better staff
retention and increased profits.”
According to Simon Collins of Industrial Floorcare Machines, one of
the key decision-making factors for customers when deciding on any
new floor cleaning machines should be time:
• How long will the machine take to clean the floor?
• How long to set it up?
• How long will it take to clean the machine after use?
“Reducing time spent on preparing, using and maintaining floor
cleaning machines will add straight to the bottom line, so always
select the right machine for the
