When it comes to cleaning, one of the primary focuses, as you’ll all be more than aware, is the floor. It’s more often than not the first thing you see when you enter a facility, so it needs to be in top condition in order to make that good first impression.


With that in mind, we’re delighted to bring you the latest of our annual supplements dedicated entirely to the wonderful world of floorcare. Throughout this special one-off edition, you’ll find some great advice columns and opinion pieces from some of the top experts in the floorcare sector, offering their tips and unique insight.


First up, Robert Kravitz sits down with Marc Ferguson, International Business Development Manager at Kaivac, to discuss the growing emphasis on floorcare and floorcare cleaning systems, while Kevin Hooper of Specialist Stone Care – a division of Thomann-Hanry – provides some top tips on how to best care for stone flooring, answering some frequently asked questions in the process.
