This article was originally published by &#;Talk Business&#;.

With the introduction of innovative cleaning techniques, a remarkable boom in the demand of professional cleaning services has been observed. But, what good is a cleaning service that isn&#;t backed by technological advancements prevailing in the present era? Therefore, many leading commercial cleaning services have adopted technologically sound cleaning equipment that simplifies cleaning in commercial premises to a great extent.

Here are 5 good reasons that justify the deployment of cleaning equipment for vast commercial and industrial arenas rather than relying on manual cleaning.

Proficient

The commercial cleaning equipment in question are designed in such a way that they clean a large area in one go and that too effectively. Cleaning equipment, like Warehouse Sweeper, will clean few square feet of area in just one go which increases the efficiency by almost 100 percent when compared to manual cleaning techniques. Moreover, it will save the hassle and physical labour as well.

Eco-friendly

Since the leading manufacturers of commercial cleaning appliances/equipment have always been considerate of the environment, they develop cleaning machineries that consume lesser power and inflict no harm the crucial environmental entities, such as air. Therefore, it clearly makes sense to have these eco-friendly cleaning equipment at your disposal.

Low maintenance and easy to operate

Since these cleaning appliances are designed for cleaning and nothing else, there&#;s no rocket science involved in their operation. They are designed with a user-friendly console that accommodates essential switches and LED indicators for ease of operation. Also, these appliances incur low maintenance cost, because cleaning regimes are not rigorous enough to cause early wearing of the equipment. If handled carefully, such appliances are sure to deliver upmost performance without breaking down, over years to come.

Eliminates the hassle of &#;cleaning staff management&#;

No one would want to take the onus of staff management when there are other important things to do. If you have in-house cleaning staff, you&#;ll have to manage their pay checks, which seems an overwhelming burden to heave. However, with cleaning equipment at your disposal, you will only need one operator and few watts of electricity to make the ends meet. Plus these cleaning appliances serve the purpose of several individuals; thereby, saving you on money and time.

Availability

The availability of these cleaning appliances is not an issue &#; not at all. There are several manufacturers of commercial and industrial cleaning equipment, like industrial pressure washer, floor sweepers and more. You can get in touch with them to receive a quote for your requirements. You can either buy or rent cleaning equipment according to your convenience and preference. If you have a vast commercial or industrial premise that seek regular cleaning, then renting would cost more than one-time purchase. And, on the other hand, if your cleaning requirement is monthly based, then renting would a better alternative.

It is merely a one-time investment whereas its fruits are perpetual. You can only imagine how much time and money can be saved with these cleaning utilities, along with increased efficiency. All you need is an operator with basic skills to ride such vehicle-like cleaning equipment over the floors, across large areas to be cleaned. If you are looking forward to buying or renting these utilitarian cleaning appliances, don&#;t forget to conduct a little research before plunging into purchases; it&#;d do you a bit of good.

First Impressions Count

A clean and organised workplace has many benefits. Apart from promoting a healthy company image, a clean business offers much more important elements to your company. Lets take a look...

#1 HEALTH & SAFETY

Every business should adopt safe work practices to protect staff from injury. Safety in the workplace is paramount to help reduce accidents, and keeping floors clean and safe are vital for any business. Slip and fall issues, trips and being hit by moving objects account for a high percentage of workplace incidents. Loose debris and dust on surfaces can create danger for staff, so employing acceptable housekeeping practices helps to maintain high site safety. Floors that are improperly cleaned and maintained can cause a build-up of residue. Dirt, grime, oils and grease deposits quickly become a slip hazard for forklift truck and operations staff on the shop floor or warehouse. Industrial Floor Sweepers & Scrubber Dryers provide significant health and safety benefits to most sectors removing the potential for substantial health and safety issues

#2 BETTER WORKPLACE EFFICIENCY

Implementing the right cleaning equipment into your periodic housekeeping routine, dramatically improves workplace efficiency promoting improved operator performance and morale. Selecting the best cleaning equipment for any cleaning allows you to get the job done much more quickly with less effort and with consistent results. With less dust and debris present both on surfaces and airborne protects the health of the workforce and reduces facility maintenance of equipment, lighting, product contamination and forklift breakdown incidents resulting in a more efficient operation. Using state of the art cleaning equipment that make these tasks easy, provides a safe, clean and happy workplace.

FLOOR CLEANING EQUIPMENT IMPROVES SAFETY AND ENHANCES COMPANY IMAGE.

#5 PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

For most businesses, the cost of their facility is a high contributor to their operational costs. Whether you lease or own your facility, protecting the floor might not be your number one priority. Keeping your floors in good condition can maintain the value of your property and reduce potentially expensive maintenance and repairs. Having clean and safe floors can benefit insurance premiums and support health and safety audits. When investing in a floor machine, keeping it maintained and serviced can also protect the initial investment and lead to the extended life expectancy of your cleaning machine.

#6 ACCREDITATION & COMPLIANCE

Many industry sectors require the relevant accreditations for demonstrating compliance and industry standards.Business cleaning and hygiene practices, including floor cleaning, play a crucial role in a company achieving and maintaining industry accreditation. All our equipment and support service provide these sectors with the right solution. Having experience in various sectors such as the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industry, gives you the confidence in our ability to provide you compliance.

FACILITY SIZE & FLOOR SPACE LAYOUT

Once we know your total cleanable floor space we can determine the machine choice. The aim would be to provide the right machine to cover the areas required for cleaning in the quickest time to keep your labour costs down to a minimum.

WALKWAYS & AISLES WIDTH

The width of these spaces are important considerations to factor in the right machine, both for the number of cleaning passes and the manoeuvrability, to allow for safe passage.

HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS & OBSTACLES

Racking height, guard rails, rail guidance systems, etc require extra consideration.

SURFACES

Hard floor surfaces can be uneven smooth or rough, consisting of different materials such as concrete, epoxy, painted and safety floors. These surfaces require different cleaning solutions in terms of brushes, pads and detergent. The levels of dust, loose dirt, debris, grime, stains and soiling present, determine what is required for effective cleaning.

BUDGET (HIRING VS BUYING)

Purchasing is sometimes the key consideration when acquiring cleaning equipment. However, there are many more considerations such as cash flow, service cover, return on investment, total cost of ownership and tax incentives. Hire for companies can offer cash flow benefits with service cover included over a fixed monthly term.

STAFF AND TRAINING

The repercussions of operator error or machine misuse can be felt throughout the business. From damage and expensive repairs, downtime and WHS risk.

Thorough operator training is a critical step in the machine on boarding process, along with ongoing support in training new staff and annual WHS re-training. Training and support for operators can be facilitated face-to-face, or delivered by video guides or printed resources.

Training for operators needs to address the machine operation, as well as any ongoing maintenance requirements.

WORKPLACE HEALTH AND SAFETY (WHS)

Some workplaces enforce stringent WHS protocols. Many machines have built-in safety features such as emergency braking systems and on-board rear-view cameras. However there are also a range of next-level WHS customisations, including roll-over bars, reverse lights and beepers, high-vis strips and seatbelts.

CURRENT CLEANING PROCESSES

Understanding your current cleaning processes can help establish where to from here.

How quickly does debris, spills and marks occur on your cleanable floor space?

How many operators use the equipment? And for what duration?

Do you clean during the bright of day or at night, in a dimly lit environment?

These are just a few of the questions that may be considered when determining the best solution for your premises.

BACTERIA RATING

Floor bacteria levels is a specific consideration for industries with strict hygiene protocols, such as food processing and healthcare. Specialist scrubber pads or solution additives may be considered to achieve the desirable ratings.
