Faced with cleaning requirements that become stricter every day, facility managers are under pressure to find effective cleaning solutions that also save money. On top of that, the environmental aspect is playing an increasingly important role as well. So, finding a cleaning solution that offers productivity, effectiveness and sustainability benefits seems to be something like the Holy Grail of cleaning. Today, cleaning equipment suppliers like Tennant offer different products and technologies that allow cleaning professionals to achieve these goals, ranging from chemical-free cleaning to cleaning path extension and multi-purpose cleaning machines.

Today, sustainability is on most professionals’ plates as well. How to balance the cleaning requirements with the environmental aspects can be a tough exercise. Recent developments now offer cleaning solutions that save natural resources by reducing energy consumption and water usage and by diminishing the need for detergents, thus also reducing the waste stream.

Although faced with a plethora of challenges in hard floor cleaning, facility managers nowadays can choose from a wide range of flexible solutions tailored to their specific cleaning applications. These allow them to still live up to rigorous expectations of cleanliness, effectiveness and budget constraints all while not sacrificing image and safety.

Productivity and budget

Productivity and cost savings go hand in hand for facility managers. In addition to the above effectiveness benefits, innovative technologies and product enhancements will create opportunities for reductions in cost of operation. In times of more difficult economic circumstances, this is of course a major concern for facility managers.

T12_warehouse1Using high quality materials and parts manufacturers ensure a solid construction that extends the performance life of the machines. Durability and reliability pay off in the long run, as they avoid damage to the equipment and subsequent repair costs.

Opting for larger tanks not only lowers operating costs by reduced fill cycles but easy-to-clean tanks also offer the benefit of fast clean out and the reduced possibility of mould and bacteria growth, making the cleaning operation less time consuming. Choosing the right squeegee then ensures excellent water and residue pick-up, resulting in fewer passes but also in less slippery floors ready for high footfall in the shortest possible time. No-tool change of squeegees, brushes or pads also increases productivity.
