Industrial Floor Cleaner and Floor Care Chemicals

Floors carry the heaviest and most varied soil in any building: oil, grease, tyre marks, tar and carbon in factories and warehouses; fat and food soil in kitchens; footfall dirt in offices and lobbies; and scale on wet-area tiles. The right floor cleaner depends on three things: the soil, the floor surface, and whether you clean by hand or by machine.

This guide explains how to make that choice. Floor care is one part of a wider programme: washrooms, kitchens and food production areas each have their own process, covered on our other solution pages.

Manual mopping or scrubber-dryer cleaning

Manual mopping suits smaller areas and spot cleaning. Scrubber-dryers and single-disc machines suit large floors, but they need low-foam chemistry: foam fills the recovery tank, can reach the vacuum motor and leaves a residue on the floor. Never put a high-foaming product into a floor machine.

Novel OGR is a low-foam oil and grease remover, and EVO 7 is a neutral cleaner suitable for both manual and machine cleaning.

Floor cleaning steps

1. Sweep or dust-mop to remove loose dirt and grit.

2. Place wet-floor signs.

3. Dilute the cleaner at the dose for the soil, starting at the lower end of the range.

4. Mop or scrub in sections, working towards the exit. With a scrubber-dryer, use only a low-foam product in the solution tank.

5. On oily floors, rinse with clean water so no film is left.

6. Let the floor dry before reopening, and empty and rinse machine tanks after use.

Descaling tiles and wet areas

Hard water and soap leave scale and scum on tiles and ceramics in washrooms, kitchens and wash bays. EVO 9 dissolves this build-up at 2% to 10% and can be used as an occasional deep cleaner or more regularly where scale returns quickly. Test on a small area first, rinse well, and ask our team before using any acidic product on natural stone such as marble.

• EVO 9Heavy Duty DescalerPotent descaling solution that is highly effective in dissolving and eliminating tough scale and scum buildup on tiles and ceramics. Evo 9 can be used as a deep cleaner once in a while and can be used daily with higher concentration.
