Every Newcastle Workspace Is Different
A Quayside office, a city centre shop, a gym in Jesmond and a warehouse out at Team Valley all need clean floors, but they do not need the same machine. Picking the wrong one is an easy mistake to make. Too small and it takes all day, too big and it will not fit down the aisles or into the lift.
Here is how to choose the right floor cleaning machine for your Newcastle workspace.
1. Measure the Area You Clean
Floor size is the biggest factor. As a rough guide, small offices and shops suit a compact machine, medium floors suit a walk behind scrubber dryer and anything over a few thousand square metres is usually quicker with a ride on.
2. Look at the Type of Floor and Dirt
Hard floors like vinyl, tiles and sealed concrete are best cleaned with a scrubber dryer, which washes and dries in one pass. If the mess is mostly dry, like dust, grit and packaging, a sweeper will pick it up quicker. Carpeted offices need a vacuum or a carpet extractor instead.
3. Check the Space Around You
Measure doorways, isles and lifts before you choose. Lots of Newcastle offices are in older buildings with narrow corridors, so a compact machine is often the better buy even when the floor area is quite large.
Machines We Recommend
- Small offices and shops. The Nilfisk SC250 is a 340 mm scrubber dryer that fits into kitchens, toilets and tight spaces.
- Gyms, schools and larger retail. The Viper AS4325B or the larger Nilfisk SC530.
- Warehouses and industrial units. A ride on such as the Viper AS530R, plus a sweeper like the Nilfisk SW900 for dust and debris.
- Carpeted offices. The Makita DVC261 cordless backpack vacuum or the Viper CAR 275 carpet cleaner.
