Thankfully there is a simple solution that can put the nightmare question of 'How to Clean Escalators' to rest. This is  the Duplex Escalator 350/550.

The Duplex Escalator 350/550 is a purpose built machine for cleaning escalators. Unlike other machine for cleaning escalators the Duplex Escalator 350/550 machine actually clean the escalator as it moves. This is possible through a patented guide rail system that allows the user to keep the machine operating smoothly in the one position. As escalators are cleaned whilst they move the Duplex Escalator 350/550 produce very efficient cleaning results.

First the escalators are dry swept to remove dust and then they are scrubbed to remove more stubborn grime. This usually takes approximately 30 minutes as a couple of passes are required on each side.

The Duplex Escalator 350/550 is a purpose built machine for cleaning escalators. Unlike other machine for cleaning escalators the Duplex Escalator 350/550 machine actually cleans the escalator steps as it operates. This is possible through a patented guide rail system that allows the user to keep the machine operating smoothly in the one position. As escalators are cleaned whilst they move the Duplex Escalator 350/550 produce very efficient cleaning results.

To clean an escalator with a Duplex Escalator 350/550 you will need to:

1. Position the Duplex Escalator 350/550 with the thin side (side with least space between brush and wall) to the edge of the escalator step.
2. Connect a vacuum to the recover tank lid and do a dry scrubbing cycle to remove dust from the escalator step treads.
3. After dry sweeping remove the vacuum. Then give a low moisture scrub to remove more stubborn grime. Apply water by squeezing the water trigger for 1 second, then releasing for 1 second. Deep cleaning may take a couple of cycles of the escaltor to complete.
4. As an escaltor is usually wider than the Duplex Escalator 350/550, the machine will need to be turned and moved to the adjacent side of the escalator step.
5. Once repositioned repeat steps 2 & 3.usually takes approximately 30 minutes as a couple of passes are required on each side.
