Hard Surface Floor Cleaners

The need to keep the working environment clean and free of debris has an increasing importance for a variety of reasons, such as health, safety and workforce comfort which means that Hard Surface Floor Cleaners fulfil a vital role in the workplace.
The principles of hard surface floor cleaning have not changed over time except that instead of someone kneeling down with a bucket of soapy water and a brush is unlikely to achieve the required level of cleanliness or efficiency. Fortunately technology has advanced to produce the sophisticated floor cleaners we see today.

Types of hard surface floor cleaner

The first types of automated hard surface floor cleaner developed around the middle of the 20th Century and these were pushed along by the operative in a similar fashion to a lawnmower (often called pedestrian floor cleaners). This type of floor cleaner, although much improved, is still in use of course and is ideal for smaller areas or where access is difficult. The biggest advance has been in ride-on industrial floor sweepers or scrubber dryers which can clean large areas more efficiently than the pedestrian style.

Ride–on hard surface floor cleaners

These cleaners maintain a high standard of cleanliness over a large area and can cope with very tough applications ensuring a clean, healthy environment. There are machines and attachments to suit all environments such as manufacturing, warehouse and distribution and heavy industry. Whether the cleaning problems are dust, spillage or other by-products of industrial processes there is a machine to deal with the problem. Design innovations have meant that floor cleaners can be used for almost any type of surface including concrete and synthetic floor coverings. The latest hard surface floor cleaners use less water than earlier models and this combined with improved brushing methods means cleaning is quicker, more effective and to a consistent standard with less potential downtime in the workplace.

There is wide choice of hard surface floor cleaners  and each model has features and benefits. For the best advice and value on your cleaning machine contact B & G Cleaning one of the leading suppliers of cleaning equipment.
