HOW TO CLEAN NON-SLIP SAFETY FLOOR

In recent years non-slip safety floors have become a lot more common, especially in wet areas, for reducing slips as companies attempt to improve OH&S. This trend though has seen many cleaners ask the question of 'how to clean safety floors effectively?'. This question occurs as most cleaners do not posess the right equipment to properly clean safety floors and instead try to use the traditional wet mop.

Wet mopping is not effective on non-slip safety floors as the profiled surfaces are not cleaned and the often aggressive textured surface destroys mop heads. This is troubling for cleaners as floors safety floors must be cleaned well because if dirt builds up in between the ripples the floor becomes less textured, which means it provides less grip when wet.So what is the best way of how to clean safety floors?

A Duplex dual cylindrical brush floor scrubber like the Duplex 420 or Salla 500 are ideal solutions for cleaning safety floors and other profiled floor surfaces. Unlike a mop, the Duplex 420 or Salla 500 are able to penetrate deep into the profiled surface. This is due to dual cylindrical brushes that contain approximately 800,000 bristles that are actively lifting out soiling. This soiling is then simultaneously extracted off the safety floor surface into a recovery tank; unlike mopping that spreads it back over the floor. The result is clean floors with maximum grip levels.

The JetVac steam vacuums and JetSteam steamer have also proven effective on safety floors; especially in greasy/oily envirnments like kitchens. This is due to high temperature dry steam that emulsifies soiling and leaves little moisture. The emulsified soiling is then simultaneously collected by vacuum or an ultra absorbent microfibre heads.
