FLOOR CLEANING & MAINTENANCE | KÄRCHER
CONTEMPORARY CLEANING FROM KÄRCHER
Embracing the latest cleaning technology can sweep the cobwebs from your cleaning regime. Kärcher, manufacturer of cleaning equipment, explains the benefits of choosing efficient cleaning technology.
and can penetrate deep into crevices and hard-to-reach areas that would be inaccessible by hand. Steam will also clean and refresh fabrics including curtains, mattresses and upholstered chairs.
The evolution of step-on machines, like Kärcher’s BD 50/40 RS scrubber drier and CV 60/2 RS vacuum cleaner, enable doorways, narrow corridors and lifts to be negotiated with ease. This allows maximum travel with one machine, making the use of cleaning machines an affordable reality for many multi-storey buildings.
Kärcher Fleet is a machine innovation that uses networking as its basis to track, monitor and plan cleaning machine status remotely. Fitted ex works or retrofitted, even to other manufacturers’ machines, it uses GPS to find out the exact location and status of the equipment. For critical regimes, alerts can be set – if the requisite area is not covered, an operator is late or machines are not charged properly. Offering significant service benefits too, machines can be remotely monitored to ensure excellent operational health.
If you haven't reviewed how and why you clean your facilities recently, chances are you're missing out - not only on appearance benefits but significant time and resource savings too. Introducing efficient cleaning technology can completely overhaul established cleaning plans, bringing a faster, more thorough clean than manual methods, freeing up labour and opening up longer cleaning windows due to the machines’ quiet running, discrete appearance and rapid drying times.
Not only have new machines, such as steam generating vacuums and step-on scrubber driers, joined the arena, but the landscape of existing machines has changed enormously. Better battery life, more compact solutions, reduced weight and ergonomics have made even existing solutions more effective than ever before.
Many Kärcher machines, including pressure washers, scrubber driers, sweepers, vacuums and steam cleaners, feature an eco!efficiency mode that can be selected for daily maintenance cleaning. This can reduce operating noise and extend running time, while reducing power, water and detergent consumption. For tub vacuums this means whisper-quiet operation – and a 40% saving in power consumption.
All buildings have to contend with problem areas. Cleaning in hygiene-critical areas, such as kitchens and bathrooms which are busy and cramped by nature, can make access tough. This is where steam cleaning comes into its own; steam both cleans and disinfects – the Kärcher SG 4/4 steam cleaner and SGV steam generating vacuums are certified to kill 99.999% of bacteria* –

The exterior of a business is its shop window - the first impression for prospective clients and the wider community - and also the source of between 80% and 94% of dirt inside! Because sand, dust and other particles of dirt can roughen the surface of a floor, it not only provides dirt with a better hold, but also causes the floor covering to wear at a faster rate.
Carpeted floors, if not deep- cleaned regularly, will quickly become unsightly under heavy traffic and have to be replaced prematurely. Not only will regularly sweeping the area in front of your premises cut the dirt entering by two thirds, but it’s significantly cheaper to keep dirt out of a building than to clean up once it’s indoors.
With even a modest walk-behind sweeper being seven times faster than a broom, productivity savings through technology applications soon stack up. Many of Kärcher’s machines are multi-taskers; its MC 50 is a compact municipal sweeper that can be converted in minutes to a grass cutter, snow mover or gritter.
One UK hospital has achieved a 24% reduction in external cleaning costs by being freed of their reliance upon external snow clearance services, manual litter picking, sweeping and mowing.
