Industrial floors are subject to different stresses, contamination and traffic.
Industries differ in terms of safety requirements and hygiene standards.
Even within a particular branch of industry there are a different number of applications that require different cleaning methods.
The intended use and size of an area have a decisive influence on the requirements and consequent criteria and methods of cleaning and maintenance.
Features to consider for a correct cleaning of floors are:
– Traffic to which the work area is subject
– Production and / or use of chemicals
– Age of flooring
– Top coat and thickness of the installed floor
– Flooring exposure levels; dynamic and mechanical, temperatures, other specifications
– Use requirements
The choice of cleaning method depends mainly on the nature of the contamination. Essentially, all neutral or slightly alkaline detergents are suitable regardless of whether they are based on sodium or potassium hydroxide.
