Floor cleaning is a key factor in
preventing slip and trip accidents.
Spot cleaning is a useful technique
for cleaning up spills as they happen.
Paper towels or rags can be used to
remove small spillages quickly
leaving the surface dry. Larger spills
may need a machine; consideration
should be given to the location and
storage of machines needed quickly.
Wet vacuum cleaners, for example,
prove effective on a smooth floor
and will leave a floor virtually dry.
If cable machines are necessary a
minimum cable length should be
used with action taken to improve its
visibility.
Choosing both the correct machine
and detergent is critical. Nilfisk
offers a wide range of solutions –
from tub vacs through to grounds
maintenance and road sweepers.
