Module 1
Floor care in general
What is floor care? 1. Cleaning on a building site:
....after renovation,construction of a building, to remove mortar, varnish, glue etc...before installing a new floor
2. Inital cleaning/treatment:
.....after a new floor is installed the surface must be prepared and protected for the future
3. Basic cleaning/stripping:
.....deep cleaning of carpet,- vinyl,- lino,- stone floors to remove dirt, coatings.
.....made once, twice a year or in longer periods
4. Daily maintenance:
.....regular cleaning like scrubbing, spray cleaning...
5. Intermediate cleaning:
.....is a deeper cleaning process to improve again the shine and look
.....used to postpone basic cleaning/ stripping
6. Spot cleaning:
.....is used to remove local heel marks in the entrance area, or dirty spots to keep a general good floor appearance
Why maintain floors?
• clean and safe
• life of the floor
• socially acceptable environment
• company image
NOTE:
• 80% of the dirt is brought via the shoes into facilities
Before you start cleaning
Identify
• Type of floor
• Type of dirt
• Type of chemical

• Type of equipment
to clean cost-efficiently
Cleaning
• Performed daily or weekly• Usually not very aggressive
Dust mop (dust sweeping)
Function:
• Dry method, fast and easy, to remove dust or litter
• Used before cleaning with an automatic scrubber
Wet mop
Function:
• To remove light gluey dirt
• Can be used on uneven floors
• Also used for disinfection
Damp mop
Function:
• Collecting fine dust with a damp textile
• Used only on even floors
• Cannot remove sticky or gluey dirt
The two mop working methods
1-step method 2-step method
Works with one bucket,wringer & mop• clean and dirt water in one bucket
Works with two buckets, wringer ormulti press & mop• clean and dirt water in separate buckets• better hygiene
Break
Vacuuming
Function:
• Vacuum cleaners are designed to collect fine dust with integrated filter system and filter bag
Sweeping

What is a scrubber dryer ?
+
=
How does a scrubber dryer work ?
1) Front scrubbing unit: mechanical abrasive action (brushes) + emulsifying action of a water-detergent solution
2) Rear drying unit: collects the water-detergent solution + dirt

Scrubber dryers – key comparison points

3. With user behind (walk-behind machine) With user on board (ride-on machine)
4.
With flat scrubbing system (brush or pad)
With cylindrical scrubbing system (brush)
2.
With brush traction
With traction motor
Cable vs Batteries scrubbers
Cable Batteries
Lower weight Higher practical productivity rate
Higher brush pressure No electrical source necessary
More powerful vacuum motor
More comfortable to operate
Unlimited running time Less noisy
Brush traction vs traction scrubbers
• On small scrubbers, the brush rotation helps the operator in pushing the scrubber/dryer (single brush only)
• On medium/large scrubbers wheels with traction propels the scrubber/dryer
Traction – Potentiometer on the control panel
Non traction – brush rotation
Walk-behind vs Ride-on
A ride-on scrubber, if compared to a walk-behind one, allows:• Higher working forward speed• Better maneuverability• Better visibility• Better ergonomy• Higher productivity• Labor savings
If comparing walk-behind and ride-on machines of similar tank capacities and scrubbing widths, the size of the machine is the same.
However, on a ride-on, the absence of the operator at the back of the machine allows the scrubber to be overall more compact than a walk-behind scrubber

pH - Index
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
A C I D S A L K A L I E SNEUTRAL
• Negative effects on health (allergies etc..)• Damage to floors or other surfaces
Tenside - action
• Reduces the surface tension of water
• Attracts dirt such as: oils, greasy substances, waxes etc.
• Forms an emulsion with water
• The slurry can be picked up
• Water molecules tend to be round. Only by adding tensides can dirt be removed
Water reaction to dirt without tensides:
Reduced surface tensionwith tensides = better vacuuming
Tensides on a natural basis
Natural fat (from animals, plants)
+Alkalins with pH 14 (saponifies fat)
Soap pH 11-13 (soft soap)
Tensides on a natural basis
• PROS+ very good cleaning
+ biological spillt up
+ can be polished with
a high speed machine
• CONS- high pH index (11-13)
- attacks human skin
- attacks various materials (linoleum, marble, travertine, elastomer floors)
- reacts with lime in lime soap (saponification)
- Makes floor slippery
if too much soap cleaner is used
- Causes black joints in ceramic floors etc.
Synthetic tensides
• PROS= less sensitive against
hard water
= different cleaning result
• CONS
= biological spillt up

Solvents
• Alcohol• Gasoline• Glykole• Aceton• Aromatic hydrocarbons • Chlorinated hydrocarbons
Dissolve: fat, oil, varnish, glue
Disinfecting detergents
• Aldehyde• Formaldehyde• Phenole• Chlorine• Acids• Ammoniumcompounds• Alcohols
Disinfect - conserve
Alcoholic detergents
• pH-value 6,0-9,0
• Dilution mostly
0,5% to 0,25%
• For all stone and
tile floors
• Dries without stripes
• Do not use hot water
• When concentration is too high, polymere coatings get damaged
• No disinfective effects
• Natural stones do not get dark
• Less cleaning effect than an all-purpose detergent
All-purpose detergents (neutral detergents)
• Ingredients:
-tensides
-water
-complexing agents
-colours and flavours
-conserving agents
• With pH-value 7
= neutral detergent
• Dilution: mostly
1:100 to 1:200
• pH-value 6-10
• For oily, greasy dirt, soilage from the street, drink stains
• Offers better cleaning than alcoholic detergents
• Surfaces and joints may become dark
• To be recommended economically/ecologically
Sanitary detergents
• Ingredients:
-acids
-inhibitors (to prevent corrosion)
-tensides
-flavours
-solvents (sometimes)
• Dilution mostly
1:100
• pH-value <4
• Remove:
-lime, lime soap
-cement film
-Uric stone, skin grease
-rosty spots
• Do not use on floors sensitive to acids, e.g. marble, terrazzo etc.
Detergents for automatic scrubbers
• Identical with all-purpose detergents• pH-value 6-10• With reduced foam formation
Conclusion
• Do not use warm or hot water because• Follow manufacturers instructions • Avoid contact with skin, eyes. Wear protective gloves and
goggles.• Use measuring device to save chemicals.

What is a sweeper?
A sweeper is a machine able to:- collect dirt- contain dust
It is mainly sold for dry cleaning on dry surfaces
1. Main/side broom
2. Flap
3. Hopper
4. Filter
4 elements
Direct Throw VS Over Throw Over throw Direct throw
Used hopper capacity ~ 85 - 100 % Used hopper capacity ~ 40 - 50 %
Manual Dumping (commercial applications):- Little capacity hoppers and - Light debris
Manual VS Hydraulic Dumping Hydraulic dumping (industrial applications)-Big capacity of the hopper-Heavy debris-To be used on external dustbins-Variable dumping heights
A good suction guarantees a dust free operation of the sweeper.No dust would lie on the floor after the sweeper

1) Contact only key customer with right cleaning application:
2) Understand your customer, survey the customer!
3) Organize a good demo:
Key points to be successful
1. After installing the machine train the customer:• How to use the machine• How to service the machine
2. Don’t under-estimate the service, it’s the key to win and to ensure life span of the machine:
• 2 type of service: Daily & Schedule maintenance
Key points to be successful
Vacuum sweeping Mechanical sweeping
• Using a vacuum system to suck debris into the hopper at the rear of the machine. (N-A)
• Using a cylindrical broom and an elevator to sweep debris into a hopper (Dulevo & Gavia)
Regenerative Air
• Air is re-circulated through hopper and back though vacuum head (Tymco)
Market:EU is 90% Vacuum – 0% Regenerative – 10% MechanicalUS is 10% Vacuum – 25% Regenerative – 65% Mechanical
Types of outdoor sweepers
Vacuum and Regenerative
• Municipalities for main sweeping jobs• Parking Lots• Private areas (University, Hospitals,
Residential)
Plus• Reduced cost of maintenance• Able to deal better with light debris,
leaves, plastic bags, etc.
Minus• Heavy and large debris• Working speed of the machines

Case – Floor cleaning of warehouse business
Your customer owns a warehouse. His main business is to function as warehouse to his customers. His warehouse is 50.000 sqm under roof. He has 5 loading bays for trucks.
