Floor Cleaning Technology Advancements Provide a Cost-Effective, Sustainable Solution for Industrial Cleaning Applications

The industrial floor cleaning industry relies on technology to provide robust, efficient operating performance, while still adhering to limited maintenance budgets and effective cleaning results. However, with an increasing focus on the environment and a push for more sustainable cleaning practices, many engineering, technical and management professionals are also seeking technology that will comply with stringent environmental standards.

Advancements in floor cleaning technology enable industrial professionals to satisfy high-quality performance requirements, while minimizing fuel costs, fuel emissions and overall cleaning maintenance. Additionally, these advancements provide increased operational range to reduce the total cost of ownership on floor cleaning equipment.

Electric drives simplify operation and maintenance
We developed floor cleaning technology that allows for effective surface sweeping and scrubbing capabilities while providing flexible, cost-efficient and sustainable cleaning performance. The CS7000 sweeper-scrubber platform includes both Hybrid drive models and ePower™ extended-range battery models to support diverse cleaning applications. In place of traditional hydraulically-driven technology, the CS7000 operates with electronically-controlled electric drives to power all sweeping and scrubbing functions, providing increased operating efficiency, simplified operation and maintenance and reduced cleaning costs.

Making Sense of Green Cleaning

“Green cleaning” is a term heard everywhere these days — but what does it mean?

Philosophically, the goal of green cleaning is to minimize the impact of cleaning on the environment and human health. In practice, green cleaning aims to reduce the use of chemicals, water and energy. And, ideally, green cleaning maintains or even improves the effectiveness of cleaning programs.

Green cleaning has become increasingly popular in schools, healthcare facilities, manufacturing and warehouse facilities, and many other building types, and the trend is expected to continue. But exactly how does one go about the job of green cleaning and, specifically, green floor cleaning?

Whether you are a facility manager or a building service contractor (BSC), this guide provides clear and basic information that can start you on the path toward environmentally friendly floor cleaning.

Adgility™ Hip Vacuum Aids in Cleaning for UC Riverside Housing

Prior to using Advance equipment, UC Riverside Housing tried several alternative cleaning manufacturers but did not find one that fit their needs. After testing the Advance Adgility™ Hip Vacuum, they knew this was the ideal machine for the job at hand. To sufficiently clean all facility areas, employees have to climb up lofted beds on a ladder. The lightweight, compact and ergonomically shaped Adgility Hip Vacuum provided a powerful, safe cleaning solution that did not offset their balance. It was also significantly quieter than other machines, allowing them to clean during the day without disturbing facility occupants.
