Floor Cleaner

The need for a clean floor in industrial and commercial premises is one that has created a wide variety of floor cleaning machines to ensure the process is carried out efficiently and effectively. Because of the different types of flooring such as concrete, carpet, tiles etc. there has never been a greater range of floor cleaning equipment

Vacuum Cleaners

The vacuum cleaner has been in use domestically for many years. In industry the vacuum cleaner has been developed into a robust hard working machine able to tackle difficult cleaning. With powerful suction units and large waste receptacles, industrial vacuum cleaners have the capacity to clean up large areas efficiently. There are wet vacuum cleaners available as well as dry and these machines can be used to remove liquid waste or by-product from the floor which would be problematic if left. Commercial carpet cleaning is the most obvious use for a vacuum and large areas of carpet require a sizeable machine to effectively clean them. Commercial vacuum cleaners can have an integral shampoo (available from BGClean) or dry steam cleaner for cleaning to a deeper level.

Floor Sweepers

These are machines that by using rotating brushes remove surface debris to keep the area clean and regular use of these machines prevents build up which would be more difficult to remove if left. Floor sweepers can be ride on, for large areas or pedestrian operated for smaller areas or out of the way places.

Floor Scrubber Driers

Where more effective floor cleaning is required a scrubber drier is employed to wash away surface debris and more adherent particles. This floor cleaning machine applies a cleaning solution through rotating brushes and the area is dried through suction which means minimal disruption to the process. Scrubber Driers for floors can also be ride on or pedestrian operated depending on the size and location of the operation.

Pressure Washers

For floors where water splash back is not a problem, one cleaning machine that could be considered is a pressure washer which, when used with a rotawash accessory, cleans large areas efficiently, particularly useful where there is significant build up. Pressure washers can be portable or part of a centralised system using a ring main for multi operator use.

Steam Cleaners

Where sanitizing and hygiene are important then a steam cleaner may be the most suitable item of floor cleaning equipment, particularly in areas such as food processing or healthcare. Steam effectively penetrates into the surface of the floor enabling effective cleaning.

The choice of cost effective floor cleaning equipment depends on the size and nature of the floor. Choosing wrongly can be costly so why not talk to the experts at BGClean to avoid an expensive mistake!
