Its microfibre pads have more than six million split end fibres, each getting right in to the minute crevices of safety flooring where dirt has built up.
Because safety flooring also has a higher level of friction to make it less slippy, it wears away thin layers of shoe rubber which conventional cleaning methods find hard to remove.
Until now, advances in cleaning have not kept pace with advances in flooring – but the effortless deep cleaning of PML has been recommended by Tarkett, a world leader in flooring.
Among those switching to the new way of cleaning are the Black Country Partnership NHS Trust, Evesham Community Hospital, and a secure mental health unit which is part of Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Trust. Here, it was not just PML’s cleaning ability but the fact it is battery powered that impressed, as long cables could be a potential danger.
Ian Poole, Hotel Services Manager for Summerhill Supplies Ltd, which cleans the unit, said they had been having issues with the flooring, which was previously maintained by dry mopping and a buffing machine.
“There was a build-up of grease and chemical and trying to get rid of it had been a nightmare,” he said. “The domestics love PML because it is little, it’s light and there are no trailing cables. They can whizz up and down with it. You can get into all the nooks and crannies and you don’t get the same vibration as with the buffing machine.”
PROBLEM SOLVED
Cleaning safety flooring successfully while still maintaining its effectiveness can be a quandary for many a contract cleaner. However, Scot Young Research has unveiled a brand new solution to solve this problem.
An innovative new product designed to solve the problem of cleaning safety flooring has been launched.
Scot Young Research (SYR) has unveiled Powr-Mop Lite, which combines the cleaning ability of microfibre with oscillation technology to grab and remove dirt and grime from all internal hard surface floors.
Working at 3,500 mini-scrubs per minute, its multi- directional cleaning gets into the ‘troughs’ of safety flooring, until now notoriously difficult to clean.
Powr-Mop Lite (PML) is the world’s first motorised forward- facing mopping system. It takes the hard work out of cleaning because it is the vibration which does the work.
16 | Tomorrow’s Cleaning
At Evesham Community Hospital, housekeeping assistants reported being shocked to see how ground-in the dirt was. Floor which was mopped daily and also cleaned with a rotary scrubber had looked much cleaner and felt more secure underfoot with minimal effort after using PML. They found it quick and easy to use, it was quieter than the scrubber and the floor was drier after cleaning.
However, microfibre’s ability to pick up and retain dirt is also its weakness. Microfibre quickly becomes saturated and ineffective. Normal rinsing will not remove the dirt, so multiple heads must be used and then laundered at the end of the shift.
Here again SYR has designed a solution – ScrubClean. This patented bucket-and-wringer system allows you to clean the head of your Powr-Mop Lite as you work.
It features SYR’s revolutionary motorised brush roller wringer, powered by twin micro motors. The rotating brushes scrub the head clean, meaning you can work with a clean flatmop all the time, with no need to change heads and launder them later.
Chairman Scot Young said: “We are bringing a range of patented cleaning equipment to the market that is specifically designed to meet the cleaning requirements of the newer types of resilient flooring.
“This equipment will bring major improvements in floor cleaning and safety standards while delivering a consistent, high-quality result, time after time after time.”
