As with any cleaning product it is important to select the right platform for each site and application to achieve optimum performance, efficiency and economy. Diversey offers its ultra-concentrates for building care in a selection of platforms, including SmartDose, QuattroSelect, J-Flex and Exact, suitable for different sizes and type of site. It can advise on the best choice or combination for any cleaning operation.
Another simple step any cleaning team can take to improve sustainability is to adopt chemical-free floorcare. Twister by Diversey is an innovative set of thirteen floor care pads made from 100% recycled PET. These deliver exceptional results with water alone when used with the company’s advanced TASKI swingo scrubber driers and rotary-disc machines.
Each pad contains the recycled PET fibres from just over two and a half plastic water bottles and is impregnated with billions of microscopic diamonds. Pads for different applications are manufactured by changing the size and combination of the microscopic diamonds. The pads are less abrasive than the corresponding conventional alternative, which helps to protect the floor while giving a smoother and improved appearance. Moreover, the resulting micro-polished finish of the floor is more resistant to soiling.
For the very best results, the pads should be used with TASKI’s range of scrubber driers and rotary-disc machines which themselves are designed to use less energy, water and product than traditional machines. Many TASKI machines are certified under the UK government’s Water Technology List, which shows they successfully meet stringent sustainability criteria and use less water. This means they qualify for an Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) so that customers can claim 100% of the cost against their tax during the same year.
Despite their many advantages there can still be occasions when scrubber driers are impractical. In these situations, microfibre represents an efficient and ergonomic alternative to mop-and-bucket cleaning. It enables new ways of cleaning floors with better results, improved hygiene and reduced reliance on chemicals to promote simpler and sustainable processes. These benefits mean that microfibre cloths are also widely used for cleaning all hard surfaces, not just floors, with water alone.
As well as working with water alone, the pads last three times longer than traditional products, and significantly reduce the need for periodic maintenance, all of which improves sustainability and reduces the overall cost. Used this way, these pads reduce chemical usage by 100%, floor pad costs by 66%, and weight of consumables by 98% (which also saves transport and handling) compared with traditional products. Working without chemicals also simplifies cleaning processes, creates a healthier environment for cleaners and bystanders, and reduces routine machine maintenance burdens.
Twister by Diversey is ideal for daily maintenance to clean and polish unprotected stone floors. There are different pads in the range for almost every type of hard floor. Using just four in sequence – red, white, yellow, green – on old, dull and worn floors can rejuvenate and transform them with clean, uniform, shiny and polished results. The

Diversey offers a wide range of microfibre cloths, mops, tools and accessories in various shapes, sizes and colour for cleaning teams to specify the ideal combination for their specific application. TASKI MyMicro knitted microfibre cleaning cloths, for example, are designed for spray and wipe and pre-wetted cleaning where high performance, convenience and value are demanded. They have been independently tested according to the EN16615:2015 standard.
Changing cleaning processes to improve sustainability does not need to be difficult. Diversey has a unique ability to support cleaning teams with a complete set of products, tools, machines and services for every aspect of their cleaning operation. This means it can work with customers to devise, configure and implement a fully-integrated solution that is fine-tuned to business and operational requirements and delivers enhanced performance, value and sustainability.
