CASE STUDY: Arcus FM


Here we learn how Arcus FM adopted a new machine from Victor Floorcare in order to achieve their ambitions.


Arcus FM, an award-winning facilities management company, faced a significant challenge in maintaining optimal cleanliness across their expansive retail estate. Cleaning difficult surfaces, such as tiles and grout lines, required a solution that could not only deliver intense and effective results, but also align with their sustainability and cost-efficiency goals.


Through the adoption of innovative technology, Arcus FM achieved a breakthrough in retail cleaning, transforming their approach whilst supporting their broader objectives.


Cleanliness is fundamental in retail operations, maintaining health and safety standards, ensuring a positive customer experience and boosting brand reputation. As a leader in comprehensive hard and soft facilities management services, Arcus FM sought to address the specific challenges posed by cleaning tiles and grout lines in retail environments. They needed a solution capable of tackling these high-performance demands without relying on harsh chemicals which could damage surfaces or compromise their commitment to eco-friendly practices.


In response to this challenge, Arcus FM adopted a cutting- edge floor cleaning machine from Victor Floorcare featuring a unique oscillating motion. Unlike traditional rotary scrubbers, this machine employs a high-frequency back-and-forth motion to agitate and lift embedded dirt more effectively.


When paired with melamine pads, the system becomes a powerful yet gentle tool for floor maintenance. The melamine pads excel at removing dirt and stains without the use of abrasive chemicals, preserving the integrity of ceramic tiles and grout lines.


Darren Milne, Accounts Director at Arcus FM, highlighted the benefits of this innovative cleaning approach. He said: “The Ocelot machine, fitted with melamine pads, effectively reaches and cleans the minutest grooves and grout lines in tiles, providing a more comprehensive cleaning than scrubber dryers.”

The implementation of this advanced cleaning solution across Arcus FM’s retail sites yielded remarkable results. The Ocelot floor cleaning machine, combined with melamine pads, delivered significant improvements in cleaning efficiency, surface maintenance and labour reduction. By effectively eliminating stubborn stains and scuffs, the need for intensive manual scrubbing was greatly diminished, and therefore, reducing labour and material cost.


This technology not only enhanced cleaning performance but also supported Arcus FM’s sustainability objectives. The elimination of harsh chemicals reduced environmental impact whilst promoting safer working conditions for staff. Additionally, the increased efficiency of the cleaning process translated to cost savings and improved operational productivity.


Darren further explained: “The Ocelot floor cleaning machine with melamine pads provides an environmentally sustainable, economical and efficient method for the upkeep of ceramic floors.”


Arcus FM’s adoption of this innovative cleaning solution underscores the transformative potential of modern technology in facilities management. The unique combination of oscillating motion and melamine pads offers a practical, non-abrasive cleaning method that meets the high standards of retail environments. By addressing the specific needs of tile and grout cleaning, Arcus FM has set a new benchmark for eco-friendly and efficient floorcare in the industry.


Established in 1946, Victor Floorcare has been a trusted name in commercial cleaning solutions for decades. The company is known for delivering high performance, reliable and user-friendly cleaning machines, including oscillating floor cleaners, rotary machines, battery-powered equipment and scrubber dryers.
