To effectively and quickly clean and disinfect bigger areas of hard and durable floor coverings, using scrubber dryers alongside manual cleaning equipment is recommended. These machines are capable of wet scrubbing and vacuuming simultaneously, making the cleaning process a hygienic and efficient one.
When it comes to cleaning floors, using a scrubber dryer machine instead of a manual mop has several advantages. Firstly, the machine can clean and vacuum the floor in one go, which means that dirt and germs are removed more effectively than with a traditional mop. Additionally, because the scrubber dryer is contact-free, there is less risk of contamination via hands. Furthermore, the machine is more efficient, as it can clean a larger area in a shorter amount of time. Another benefit is that the dosing system allows for precise and accurate addition of detergent. Lastly, the scrubber dryer applies a greater level of contact pressure, leading to better cleaning performance when compared to a mop.
To ensure the proper amount of disinfectant is used in a scrubber dryer, there are two recommended methods: using an automatic dosage system located in a separate disinfectant dosing unit, such as in a designated equipment room, or measuring the disinfectant and water in a cup to achieve the correct ratio. It is important to pour the disinfectant solution into the fresh water tank of the scrubber dryer and not use any dosing systems that may be integrated into the machine as they are not appropriate for this task.
Locations that require high levels of hygiene, such as hospitals or kitchens, necessitate thorough cleaning and disinfecting of the premises and equipment. A cleaning schedule must be developed and displayed in the designated areas to ensure that all areas and objects are cleaned at appropriate intervals. The schedule must detail the equipment, surfaces, and floors to be cleaned, the frequency of cleaning, the cleaning agents required and their appropriate dosage, and the responsible individual or employee responsible for cleaning.
To ensure proper control, it is vital to record and document completed work with a clear signature. It is important to distinguish between cleaning and disinfection as they are two distinct processes. Cleaning aims to eliminate contamination, such as unwanted substances and residue from products, microorganisms, detergents, and disinfectants. Research has shown that thorough cleaning can remove more than 90% of bacteria and germs from surfaces. On the other hand, disinfection involves the use of chemical and physical methods to kill microorganisms to a level that is non-hazardous to health and does not affect the quality of food.
To prevent microorganisms from adapting and developing resistance, it is advisable to alternate between acidic and alkaline foam cleaning products as well as disinfectants. Lime build-up can be countered by acids, whereas alkaline cleaning agents are effective against organic soiling. Deposits, which serve as good adhesion bases for bacteria and viruses, are particularly problematic. When using acidic cleaning agents, it is important to water tile joints beforehand to avoid any damage caused by acid absorption.
