COVER STORY


Battery powered Scrubber Driers beat mops and buckets hands down; traditional wet mopping may seem like a low cost method of floor cleaning but over time it can actually cost a lot more. Because floor cleaning is so much faster than with a mop, cleaning staff can be deployed elsewhere and therefore whole life costs can be dramatically lower than mopping. Besides the extra time taken to clean floors effectively, mop and bucket cleaning leaves floors wet, encouraging bacteria to spread and creating slip hazards. Emptying, filling and moving of open mop buckets poses a health risk to operators, and dirty water is often reused.


In another break from traditional, manual cleaning methods, the power of steam can certainly give your premises a clean bill of health – Kärcher’s SG 4/4 Steam Cleaner and SGV Steam Generating Vacuums are certified to disinfect, killing 99.999% of bacteria. Compact and easy to use, steam cleaners can be used to quickly and hygienically clean countless areas completely without chemicals. This makes them all purpose - suitable for hard floors, bathroom and kitchen fittings, tiles, glass and medical

equipment as well as refreshing and smoothing textiles - without the need for special cleaning agents for each application. Generating pressurised steam at up to 8 bar pressure, they feature on the government’s Water Efficient Technology List, making them time, environmentally and cost efficient as well as a health-conscious alternative for users, particularly beneficial to staff with sensitive skin and/or allergies.


Elsewhere, tub vacuums such as Kärcher’s high-capacity T 17/1 eco!efficiency model provide fantastic results despite their whisper quiet operation. This 17 litre machine is designed specifically to provide optimum suction performance despite using only a 750W motor. The result is a machine that is extremely quiet (only 56 dB(A)), uses 40% less energy than a standard 1250W tub vac and yet offers excellent cleaning performance for daily use.


For convenience without bending, why not retire your dustpan and brush? The EB 30/1 electric broom is ideal for daytime use, quickly, quietly and easily picking up loose dirt from hard and carpeted floors – battery power means they’re immediately


available for use and just as easy to set aside afterwards.


To ensure your residents and their guests feel at home in a cosy, safe environment - you need cleaning solutions which deliver five star results in a discrete, stylish, economical and effective manner.
