Mechanized cleaning enhances productivity, cost efficiency & wellness
By U.K. Arun, General Manager-Sales, Roots Multiclean Ltd.
Basic cleaning is essential for personal health, hygiene and safety – be it at home, at work or any other place. Particularly at work, cleaning ensures the safety of employees’ health. Unclean surroundings infecting employees lead to absenteeism, manpower loss and ultimately affect the performance of the company. In terms of economics, cleaning enhances asset life. We spend heavily on laying expensive flooring like marble, epoxy coated, concrete, wooden, granite, etc., and if we are not able to maintain it properly, it is a waste of money.
In ideal cleaning, mechanical action and chemical action can deliver 80% of the required efficiency. Mechanization is thus crucial for cleaning. The floors itself, say wooden floors, require special cleaning which cannot be achieved through mop or a broom; it needs special machines. Similarly, granite or marble needs a certain amount of pressure and requires the crystallization process of cleaning.
Mechanization also increases sustainability. By using the right equipment of cleaning, we can get cleaner air. If we use a vacuum cleaner with HEPA filtration, the exhaust air is absolutely cleaner air. Similarly, with the use of right maintenance regime with the right equipment, the life of the asset, say floors, is enhanced. Chemical, water consumption and carbon emission too get reduced.
One major example of scientific cleaning which enhances the life of the product is carpet cleaning. Carpets in use ‘collect’ dust, food particles, etc. Dust could be hard particles that cut carpet piles and food particles encourage bacterial growth resulting in stains and foul smell.
The scientific process of carpet care involves
- Daily dry vacuuming to collect loose soil by using an upright or tank vacuum dirt sediment
- Intermediate dry foam shampooing to remove /oily soils by spotting method
- Injection extraction to clean the interiors by using the spray injection extractor equipment
Besides, mechanized cleaning creates a winning image. It can be summed up in the following points:
Keeping value
- Optimal impression: Clean and inviting
- Goods remain clean
- Sustainability of facilities
- Hygiene
- Reduces the development of micro-organisms and pathogenic germs
- Lower dust exposure (dust allergies)
- Well being
- Cleanliness creates satisfaction.
- Better motivation for work
Simply stated, manual cleaning involves low investment, low complexity, high expenditure of time, long drying time and requirement of maintenance cleaning outside of trading hour. Mechanized cleaning involves low complexity in operation, easy operation, two-step-method for deep cleaning – scrubbing and vacuuming, and high human-resource allocation.
