How To
Select Floor Cleaning Equipment
Get the highest efficiency and
lowest total cost to clean.
The
largest portion of the cost to clean a floor is labor, which
represents 90 percent of the total cost of floor cleaning. This
is why it is important to know how to select floor-cleaning
equipment so that you can get the highest efficiency and lowest
total cost to clean. For this reason you need to insure your
cleaning equipment is the most productive you can get.
There are
efficiency features built in to today’s floor cleaning equipment
that will lead to greater productivity such as extended cleaning
times between dumping and refill cycles. Ride on machines as
well as self-propelled equipment is faster and has a wider
cleaning path and many can perform multiple operations with one
machine. Therefore, it is important that you know how to select
floor-cleaning equipment.
Features
That Contribute To Cleaning Productivity
One of the
first things to consider when selecting floor-cleaning equipment
is the cleaning path widths. You can minimize your investment by
matching the size of the machine to your exact needs. As an
example: the difference in cost between a 17” and 20” machine
can be minimal yet the wider path can improve production by
cutting the time it takes to clean.
Reduced water
usage is a big productivity booster. Some floor cleaning
equipment today has built in water savings designs, which can
increase cleaning efficiency by: a) reducing the number of dump
and fill cycles which increases operator time on the floor
cleaning. b) These floor-cleaning machines also reduce drying
time so workers can get back on the floor sooner to further
service the area.
One other
consideration is the size of the water and solution tank. Higher
capacity tanks can increase your productive cleaning time again
between dump and fill.
There are other factors to consider but these
will get you started with how to select floor-cleaning
equipment. |
