How To Clean Industrial Floors With Duplex Industrial Machines

The method for cleaning industrial floors with a Salla 500 will vary depending on the amount and type of soiling. The type of brush may also change with different floor surfaces or soiling. Lightly soiled floors can be cleaned efficiently in single passes and heavily soiled floors may require a flood & scrub technique.
Lightly Soiled - With lightly soiled flooring the Salla 500 can be used as a scrubber dryer to simultaneously scrub a floor and extract the residue. Do this by having the water, brushes and vacuum running at once. The result is clean and dry floors in a single pass. The most efficient way to clean is also in long laps.
Heavily Soiled - For heavily soiled areas it is best to apply the flood & scrub technique. This requires using the Salla 500 in small areas with the water on and brushes on, but the vacuum off. By having the vacuum off water remains on the floor surface allowing the heavy soil to be broken up more efficiently by the brushes. Once the floor looks clean, turn on the vacuum to extract the dirty slurry. After doing a flood & scrub it is a good idea to rinse.
Greasy Soil - When cleaning greasy soiling with a floor scrubber use either citrus detergents or degreasers with flood & scrub technique. These can be either put in the clean solution tank or sprayed straight onto the floor. Generally pre-spraying detergents straight on to the floor can be more efficient. This is because water can be used in the machines clean solution tank to rinse remaining detergent residues off the floor.
