FLOORCARE : HTC FLOOR SYSTEMS


SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND


In the cleaning industry, sustainability has become something of a buzzword, as all companies are looking for ways to make their operations greener. Here, HTC Sweden AB tells us how its HTC Twister floor pads can leave floors clean and shiny without the use of cleaning chemicals.


Twister is a revolutionary daily floor cleaning system consisting of a floor pad prepared with billions of microscopic diamonds which clean and polish the floor mechanically. The combination of a soft floor pad and the hardness and sharpness of a diamond creates a unique product that follows the structure of the floor surface and effectively removes dirt at the same time. This creates the possibility of chemical free daily cleaning with high gloss every day.


Compared to traditional ways of floor cleaning containing cleaning detergents, polishes, waxes and chemicals for periodic floor maintenance, Twister is used without chemicals and with eliminated need for periodic floor maintenance. This means a huge environmental benefit for everyone.


Twister leaves a surface that is cleaned, and at the same time polished, without any requirement for chemicals or special competence. This creates a whole new standard and demand within the contract cleaning industry as well as for buyers of cleaning services. With Twister, the same cleaning routines and machinery as before is used. Just change the traditional pads and chemicals to a Twister pads and water.


Compared to traditional, chemical based cleaning, where the chemicals are given a very short time to react with the dirt when using auto scrubbers, the Twister pad will effectively remove any

dirt or grease mechanically during normal cleaning routines with the help of diamonds – no extra time or effort is needed. When compared to traditional daily floor maintenance methods, Twister has been proven to clean the floor surface as effectively, or even slightly better.


According to the Swedish Society For Nature Conservation, approximately 7,200,000 litres of cleaning detergent used in traditional daily floor maintenance can be saved only by using Twister on natural stone floors in Sweden. Since Twister also works perfectly on every other type of floor except textile, the potential chemical reduction worldwide is enormous.


There are numerous types of floor maintenance pads on the market which can be used together with many different types of floor cleaning chemicals. The choice of pad and chemical depends on the type of floor and the purpose of use (cleaning or polishing). With Twister, these often complicated choices are history. The green Twister pad works effectively in daily cleaning on every coming floor such as VCT, Terrazzo and Vinyl, without chemicals. The only thing used together with the green Twister pad is water to bind and transport the dirt from the floor to the suction system. The green Twister pad is also ideal for dry high speed polishing of the floors and can be used up to 3500 rpm (UHS).


As well as the green Twister pad there is also a white and yellow pad, which

can be used for a deep cleaning process, effectively removing smaller scratches and upgrading the floor surface from dull and dirty to clean and shiny. This makes it possible to upgrade and deep clean a floor with no use of chemicals.
