CLEANING
OSCILLATING FOR AN ORDERLY CLEAN
It is often found that in competitive markets such as the contract cleaning and FM sectors, cheaper machine ranges are bought in to fulfil contractual requirements. This however, argues TomCat, can often lead to difficulties further down the line.
Picking the right cleaning machine range is no easy task. Just ask any contract cleaning business. Whilst choosing a low-cost range for your contracts in order to stay ahead of the competition is not a great problem if equipment is correctly applied to the initial requirements – and there are some incredibly reliable machines on the market – if not correctly specified, it can lead to both cost and contractual complications in the further.
As its brand awareness increases, TomCat, known for its performance and simplicity, has become synonymous with troubleshooting problematic applications. The TomCat range of machines, which features the innovative oscillating scrub head technology, can provide a unique level of clean on a range of floor services. This is due to to the wealth of tooling available and in the ability to vary the speed and weight of the scrub deck to help achieve maximum performance from the pad or tool being used.
Chemical Free The vast majority of what TomCat do is achieved as a chemical-free process; some of the immediate benefits of this are not just in running costs over the term of the contract but also in the reduced frequency of deep cleans. It’s often the case that chemical is used with the misconception that the higher the dose the cleaner the floor becomes, when in actual fact more residue is likely to be left behind causing unsightly films and smears. This can also make the floor significantly stickier, which is not just unpleasant to walk on it also attracts far more dirt.
Within that reduced or negated chemical requirement it’s better for the environment in terms of production, reduced packaging and reduced transport miles. It removes

cost of the equipment its typically labour that’s the next biggest cost in any cleaning process. Labour savings, forecast over a contract term, can be quite considerable.
All of a sudden that cheap floor scrubber, that takes several passes and uses litres of chemical, suddenly becomes quite expensive. The cost of losing a client or contract on failing standards is of far more value than any difference in scrubber drier costings.

Labour Savings Oscillating technology often considerably reduces the number of passes required to achieve a desired result which in turn leads to tangible labour savings. The unique square head design also facilitates edge and corner cleaning with the machines productivity reducing manual cleaning. After the
Staff Morale Not always at the forefront of people’s minds when selecting the next floor scrubber drier system is staff morale. This would apply to most professions but there is nothing more demotivating than not seeing any tangible results for your applied efforts. The difference we see when the first clean stripe goes through the floor is fantastic, and for the cleaning operative it’s uplifting and energising knowing the difference they’ve made.
Looking Ahead The latest development for TomCat has been in the unique onboard and on- demand Aqueous Ozone system that cleans, freshens and destroys known pathogens. We are seeing steady growth with the healthcare system for the Aqueous Ozone primarily because of the fact it helps guard against potential cross contamination issues.
The work however doesn’t stop there, and we have some exciting new products coming to the market this year. This will see continued focus on cleaning ability and performance delivered through practical innovation.
