Cleaning a school efficiently requires a combination of machines designed for various tasks, including floor care, restroom sanitation, and air purification. Here are the top types of cleaning machines commonly used in schools:
Floor Scrubber Driers (Walk Behind and Ride on)
Used for deep cleaning and maintaining tile, vinyl, or concrete floors in hallways, gyms, and cafeterias.
Floor scrubber dryers offer several benefits, including increased cleaning efficiency, enhanced safety, and cost-effectiveness. They clean and dry floors simultaneously, reducing downtime and minimising disruptions to daily operations. Additionally, they often use less water and cleaning solution than traditional mopping, making them a more sustainable option.
Floor Sweepers (Walk Behind and Walk on)
Floor sweepers offer several benefits including enhanced cleaning efficiency, time savings, and improved safety in various environments. They are particularly useful for removing dust, debris, and litter from hard floor surfaces, and can be more effective than brooms at preventing dust from becoming airborne.
Commercial Vacuums
Commercial vacuums offer several benefits, including enhanced cleaning power, improved efficiency, and better durability compared to standard household vacuums. They are designed to handle large amounts of debris, dust, and waste, making them ideal for various commercial settings like factories, construction sites, and retail spaces. Furthermore, commercial vacuums often feature specialised filtration systems and larger capacity for debris, contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment.
Restroom Cleaning Machines
Santoemma offers several professional cleaning machines designed for efficient and thorough restroom cleaning, including toilets. These machines utilse systems like the Powertec and Foamtec, which involve spraying a detergent foam, rinsing, and then vacuuming the area. Some models also incorporate nebulization for sanitising surfaces with a liquid solution.
Carpet Extractors
Carpet extractors offer a deeper, more thorough clean compared to traditional methods, removing dirt and grime from deep within the carpet fibres. They also dry carpets faster by removing more moisture during the cleaning process and are versatile for various carpet types and businesses. Furthermore, using a carpet extractor with the appropriate chemicals can benefit all types of carpets, including spot cleaning and removing stubborn stains.
