SCRUBBER DRYERS | KÄRCHER
MAKING THE EVERYDAY, EXTRAORDINARY
Repetitive jobs done inefficiently are not only a chore, but a needless drain on resources. Introducing efficient cleaning technology can help protect businesses’ assets as well as their staff, producing better results and increasing productivity.
It is proven that implementing an effective cleaning regime can drastically reduce health and safety risks in the workplace, so it’s a quick win for businesses. Whether you’re working back of house in a hectic kitchen where spillages are common place, or a busy office block which sees hundreds of people transit through every day, health and safety cannot and should not be overlooked. Slips and trips are the most common cause of major injuries in the workplace, costing UK businesses in excess of £512million per year and resulting in a loss of nearly one million working days. Moreover newly increased safety sentencing guidelines mean a short-term oversight could result in a longer-term penalty.
Beyond physical safety, hygiene too is pivotal – although the emphasis placed upon germ-free conditions will vary according to perceived environmental risk. Because scrubber dryers clean and dry in a single pass, the area is clean and dry in moments, minimising both potential slip hazards and infection risk.
Microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi develop very quickly if they find the right breeding ground, making it vitally important to control the risk of cross contamination. Machines
that offer self-cleaning tank functionality, compliant with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), ensure the hygienic disposal of the waste water without the risk of cross contamination. Likewise, scrubber dryers with easily interchangeable cleaning heads and squeegee blades can multitask in different areas of your facility with separate tools for separate areas significantly reducing contamination opportunities. For example a roller brush can tackle utilities, toilets and non-slip flooring, while a microfibre roller pad is perfect for smooth-finished corridors.
As well as interchangeable cleaning heads, adjustable speed and pressure make it possible to perform several tasks – such as a deep clean, maintenance clean and polishing – with one capital investment and only one machine to store and train users on.
Introducing efficient cleaning technology can completely overhaul established cleaning plans, freeing up labour and opening up longer cleaning windows due to the machines’ quiet running, discrete appearance and rapid dry times. While the capital expenditure to buy can be off-putting, it’s worth bearing in mind labour costs can represent up to 90% of total cleaning costs in manual settings, so the productivity gained
by mechanisation quickly offsets the upfront investment. If this alone doesn’t help secure funding, or budget windows are challenging, leasing can be a cost-efficient alternative providing flexibility of payment terms.
For ultimate visibility, Kärcher Fleet – fitted ex works or retrofitted, even to other manufacturers’ machines – uses GPS and mobile telephony to find out exactly where, how and when cleaning equipment is deployed, and what condition it is in. For critical cleaning regimes, alerts can be set – such as if the requisite area is not covered, operators turn up late for work, or machines are not charged for long enough. Kärcher Fleet offers significant benefits in terms of service too, as machines can be remotely monitored to ensure excellent operational health.
Kärcher floor cleaning machines are packed-full of innovations to ensure maximum safety coincides with optimum cleaning results. Everyday tasks are completed more quickly, to a better standard and with prudent energy, detergent and water use. Kärcher’s advanced scrubber dryers are so efficient, that all walk-behind, step-on and ride-on models feature on the government’s Water Efficient Technologies List, enabling businesses to claim 100% tax relief on Kärcher machine purchases.
