<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">BROOKLYN PARK,
Minnesota—April 6, 2017—</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has updated
its respirable crystalline silica exposure </span><a href="https://www.osha.gov/silica/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">standards</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> in an effort to protect workers from a range of
life-threatening and deadly diseases. By September 23,<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>
2017, more than 600,000 construction-related workplaces must comply with those
new standards, and </span><a href="https://www.nilfisk.com/en/Pages/default.aspx"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Nilfisk</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">, one of the world’s
leading manufacturers of professional cleaning equipment, offers the only
integrated floor-to-ceiling silica dust control solution to assist them with
compliance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">According
to OSHA’s new standards, which reduce the silica dust permissible exposure
limit (PEL) to 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air, averaged over an
eight-hour shift, employers must use a number of engineering controls and work
practices to limit that exposure. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">With
its floor-to-ceiling solution, Nilfisk can help companies address controls and
practices specifically related to dust containment systems, wet methods, and
high-efficient particulate air (HEPA) filtrated equipment and vacuums, and help
meet OSHA’s requirement that all construction employers “restrict housekeeping
practices that expose workers to silica where feasible alternatives are
available.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“Within
its standards, OSHA clearly states that housekeeping practices play a critical
role in reducing silica dust exposure,” said Andrew Ray, president, Americas,
with Nilfisk. “With our integrated solution of Advance and Nilfisk brand
products that includes industrial scrubbers, sweepers and vacuums that clean
floors, walls and ceilings, Nilfisk is the only cleaning equipment manufacturer
poised to most effectively assist construction companies with their OSHA
compliance and positively impact worker safety as it relates to silica dust
exposure.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">More
specifically, Nilfisk’s robust offering of industrial cleaning equipment
includes Advance brand scrubbers, sweepers, and combination scrubber/sweepers
that allow for wet-method cleaning and that offer optional DustGuard or
DustClear™ dust control technologies; and HEPA-filtered vacuums that can be
connected to power tools including sanders and grinders to capture dust
particles as small as 0.3 microns. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Exposure
to silica dust, which in the construction field can occur when workers perform
common tasks involving top soil, brick, concrete, stone, asphalt, and drywall,
can cause lung cancer, silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and
kidney disease. OSHA estimates that about two million construction workers are
currently exposed to respirable crystalline silica, 840,000 of them at levels that
exceed the new permissible exposure limit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;"><b style="font-size: 12pt;">Big ideas for small
space cleaning.</b></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Cleaning cramped, high traffic
areas has always been a challenge for convenience stores, coffee shops, fast
food restaurants, gas stations—any place where space is at a premium. Now there
are three new solutions designed to clean those small spaces fast, without the
mess and slip-and-fall hazards of mops and buckets: the Advance SC100™, SC250™
and SC351™ Micro Scrubbers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The Advance SC100™ is
an upright scrubber designed to make cleaning faster and easier than using a
mop and bucket.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With a 12-inch
cleaning path, the SC100 is designed to maneuver where other scrubbers can’t,
and with a tank that dispenses only clean solution, it won’t spread dirt around
like mops and buckets. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The SC250™ is a
13.5-inch wide micro scrubber powered by a lithium battery. Operating at an
exceptionally quiet 66 dB A, it allows your cleaning crews to work in the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>daytime and clean in noise-sensitive areas. It also boasts
single-pass, sweep-scrub-and-dry performance to remove dirt and debris quickly.
This is also ideal for those quick cleanups.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cFgmL41A1-I/WFlwXilo20I/AAAAAAAAAj0/DYil5opquw8GQHkC8fQm7hPi5Cu4Q6txQCEw/s1600/SC100%2Bin-use%2Bedge%2Bcleaning%2Boffice%2B%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cFgmL41A1-I/WFlwXilo20I/AAAAAAAAAj0/DYil5opquw8GQHkC8fQm7hPi5Cu4Q6txQCEw/s400/SC100%2Bin-use%2Bedge%2Bcleaning%2Boffice%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A drier surface helps
prevent slips and falls. <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">There’s another big advantage to
these revolutionary Advance cleaners besides their compact size and easy
maneuverability. They don’t leave a wet surface behind like mops do that can
make your floors dangerous. Using innovative Advance technologies, all three
scrubbers clean and dry in a single step.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Both scrubbers also
feature two solution flow settings to provide more efficient cleaning,
convenient dosing caps to regulate detergent usage and reduce costs, and
easy-to-remove recovery tanks that make emptying dirty water easier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TkZCgdMaFqg/WFlwblbr5fI/AAAAAAAAAj4/SVi_3OyNjjA5mwMiQVtagZiFJp6zzPZcACEw/s1600/SC250%2Bflower%2Bshop%2Bin-use%2BLt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="347" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TkZCgdMaFqg/WFlwblbr5fI/AAAAAAAAAj4/SVi_3OyNjjA5mwMiQVtagZiFJp6zzPZcACEw/s400/SC250%2Bflower%2Bshop%2Bin-use%2BLt.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A bigger, better
micro.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Then there’s the new Advance SC351™
Battery-Operated Micro Scrubber: the only battery-operated micro scrubber with
true forward and reverse water pickup.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Featuring Advance’s
exclusive rotating deck with integrated squeegee—an industry first—the SC351
allows your cleaning crews to clean and dry your floors in all directions. They
can push the machine forward and clean like a normal scrubber or, with a simple
flip of the handle, they can make the deck rotate for reverse scrubbing and
pickup. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>But this breakthrough
in scrubbing technology doesn’t stop there. It’s engineered to accommodate a
wide range of cleaning applications from convenience stores and schools to
health care, restaurants, gas stations and retail stores. With its easy-to-use
operator functions, enhanced vacuum performance and diverse operating modes, it
can do more than any other small scrubber in its class.</div>

<br />
<a href="https://www.advance-us.com/" target="_blank">Advance</a>, the brand known and trusted to introduce
productivity-enhancing innovations in the commercial cleaning market, proudly
introduces the Advance Liberty A50 Autonomous Scrubber. The Advance Liberty
A50, designed in partnership between <a href="https://www.nilfisk.com/en/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">Nilfisk</a> and <a href="http://carnegierobotics.com/" target="_blank">Carnegie Robotics, LLC</a>, a
leading provider of advanced robotics sensors and software, is specifically
designed to leverage today’s most advanced autonomous technologies to make
commercial floor care in such settings as retail, hospitality, education,
healthcare, and more, more productive, safer and easier than ever. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“We are thrilled to launch the most advanced and easiest to
use scrubber/dryer in the commercial floor care industry,” said Jonas Persson,
president and CEO of Nilfisk. “Nilfisk has an unprecedented legacy of bringing
ingenuity and innovation to market by way of products that improve and advance
the industry. The Advance Liberty A50 is our most important product innovation
yet, and it will set the standard and lead the way for intelligent equipment
going forward in the commercial cleaning industry.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Advance Liberty A50 is the cleaning industry’s only
stand-on scrubber/dryer that can be operated autonomously or manually,
providing cleaning professionals with unprecedented flexibility based on their
cleaning needs. With its proprietary sensor suite, software and camera, the
scrubber/dryer recognizes unknown obstacles as small as a tennis ball and then
automatically maneuvers around them, making the Advance Liberty A50 safe to use
in open or congested spaces. And, a proprietary mix of technology, including
cameras, sensors and lasers, allow the Advance Liberty A50 to accurately track
its cleaning path and clean close to obstacles and walls. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Carnegie Robotics is excited to partner with Nilfisk
to bring the most innovative and advanced scrubber to the commercial cleaning
market,” said Steve DiAntonio, CEO of Carnegie Robotics. “We've adapted
military and space grade technologies to provide the Advance Liberty A50
scrubber with state-of-the-art perception and intelligent navigation that
deliver safe and reliable floor cleaning. At the same time, we’ve engineered a
simple to use interface that enables flexible and efficient operation.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Advance Liberty A50 will be the first product to launch
under Nilfisk’s recently announced <a href="https://www.nilfisk.com/en/horizon/pages/horizon.aspx" target="_blank">The Horizon Program</a>, a pioneering global
program that will deliver the most intelligent and technologically advanced
cleaning solutions in the industry. Working with Carnegie Robotics, Nilfisk’s
Horizon Program is a strategic, long-term initiative to launch multiple
products that will provide the full spectrum of autonomous capabilities.
Nilfisk’s work with Carnegie Robotics is the only partnership in the industry
that combines the highest levels of expertise in robotics and commercial
cleaning to design and develop state-of-the-art autonomous cleaning solutions
that truly meet the needs of the commercial cleaning industry.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nilfisk and Carnegie Robotics will officially launch the
Advance Liberty A50 scrubber in the spring of 2017.</div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Cleaning a healthcare facility is almost always more complicated
than cleaning a school, business or other public space. There are simply more
things you need to keep in mind besides the cleaning itself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; mso-outline-level: 3; mso-para-margin-bottom: .01gd; mso-para-margin-left: 0in; mso-para-margin-right: 0in; mso-para-margin-top: .01gd;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Chemicals can make highly
effective cleaning solutions, but most chemical cleaners create fumes or leave
behind residues that can comprise your job in the long run. That’s why more and
more facilities are requiring chemical-free or reduced chemical cleaning from
their staff or contractors.</span><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "arial";">Advance’s REV™ Technology is the perfect
solution for this trend.<br />
The </span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><a href="http://www.advance-us.com/products/scrubbers/sc500/sc500.aspx" target="_blank">AdvanceSC500™ walk-behind scrubber,</a></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;"> for example, not only features REV
Technology and our exclusive EcoFlex™ System, but also SmartFlow™ Technology as
well. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">
<li>REV™ Random Orbital Scrubbing is so effective,
it can actually eliminate the need for chemical floor strippers, one of
the worst offenders on the chemical cleaning front. </li>
<li>The EcoFlex System allows you to clean with the
least amount of detergent needed to do the job—or even with water alone. </li>
<li>And SmartFlow Technology automatically reduces
the solution flow rate when the scrubber takes a corner or otherwise slows
down, conserving both water and detergents.</li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Together, these technologies
can reduce</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> your water and chemical consumption significantly, which can go a
long way toward making your facility a healthier place. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Air quality is another factor that’s often overlooked. Yet, in
their efforts to reach the high levels of cleanliness that healthcare
environments require, many cleaners will use equipment that compromises air
quality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Vacuums, for example, have a tendency to kick dust into the air
even as they’re sucking it up from the floor. That’s because their motors are
often so powerful they stir up dust that would ordinarily stay undisturbed.
Advance engineers understand this problem and work continuously to develop
vacuums that minimize dust. An example of this effort is the </span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><a href="http://www.advance-us.com/products/vacuums/spectrum.aspx" target="_blank">Advance Spectrum™ upright vacuum</a></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">. Featuring an exceptionally efficient
three-stage filtration system—including a certified H.E.P.A. filter—this
powerful carpet vac doesn’t just clean your carpets, it practically cleans your
air at the same time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; mso-outline-level: 3; mso-para-margin-bottom: .01gd; mso-para-margin-left: 0in; mso-para-margin-right: 0in; mso-para-margin-top: .01gd;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "arial";">“Can you
keep it down out there?” </span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Most people don’t think of noise as pollution per se, but there’s
a growing movement to change that perception. This is especially true in
healthcare environments, where peace and quiet is critical. The problem is,
cleaning machines are powered by motors and motors make noise.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Advance engineers have addressed this problem, too, by designing
some of the quietest running equipment in the industry. The SC500 scrubber
mentioned earlier is just one example; it features a Quiet Mode setting that
reduces operating noise to a whisper. In general, Advance vacuums and
burnishers are so quiet, they can often be used during daytime hours, silently
going about their business through the hustle and bustle of even the busiest
hospital day.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Take a wider path</b></span><br />It stands to reason that the wider the scrubbing or sweeping path your cleaning crews have to take, the fewer passes they’ll need to do the job—and there’s often little difference in total price between machines. For example, assuming a loaded labor rate of $9/hr, the hourly cost to clean a 1,000 sq ft surface would be about $3.44/hr for a 17” scrubber vs. $2.39/hr for a 20” scrubber. And the difference in total price between the two cleaning solutions may only be $50 to $100.<br /><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uEEoWT1VfaI/V-FSSv6HRzI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/_bP-yNI7at0OryXUyNcTmsEKGXTx_xLmQCEw/s1600/HourlyChartNilfisk.png"><img border="0" height="175" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uEEoWT1VfaI/V-FSSv6HRzI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/_bP-yNI7at0OryXUyNcTmsEKGXTx_xLmQCEw/s400/HourlyChartNilfisk.png" width="400" /></a> <br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Go tools free</b></span><br />It’s often one of those under-appreciated features that can get lost in the heat of the sales demo, but “tools free” maintenance can save your workers a lot of time changing out accessories, replacing worn parts and making needed adjustments over the life of your machines. And those minutes can add up to real money. Plus, by allowing fast and easy equipment changeouts, they can allow your workers to clean different surfaces with a single machine. <br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Recharge on the go</span></b><br />Battery-powered automatic scrubbers, burnishers and carpet extractors have been productivity boosters for years. But when the batteries die, the cleaning stops cold. And workers often have to lug the machines to a far-away charging station. On-board chargers allow your workers to recharge right where they are, cutting downtime and maximizing efficiency. <br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Cut the noise and clean all day</span></b><br />Nobody likes a loudmouth, and that goes for your cleaning equipment as well. Low-decibel vacuums and ride-on scrubbers with built-in sound attenuation allow your workers to clean during business hours, while protecting them from the fatigue and irritation that noise can cause. <br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Use less water</b></span><br />Water is a mixed blessing in the cleaning world. It’s absolutely necessary for a scrubber or extractor to get its job done, but using too much of it can put a double-pronged damper on cleaning productivity: 1) workers have to stop cleaning more often to refill their tanks, and 2) drying time takes areas out of service longer. Machines designed to minimize water usage—with no drop-off in cleaning power—can help keep your cleaners cleaning longer.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Get a bigger tank</b></span><br />The dump-and-fill cycle can be one of the biggest drags on overall cleaning productivity. A larger tank can have a direct and dramatic effect on the equation. But there are tradeoffs. Larger tanks usually mean larger machines, which means you can lose some maneuverability. But anything you can do to cut the number of times your workers need to refill water tanks is a net boost to efficiency. Productivity-boosting features are built-in to a wide range of cleaning equipment, but sometimes you have to do a little math to really appreciate how much they can cut the long-term cost of cleaning. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><i>*Source: International Sanitary Supply Association - ISSA </i><br />

Gone are the days when floor restoration teams were set with a
hatchet hammer, sandpaper and wax. In the early 1900s, if you could drive 38
nails a minute, you were hired, but considered slow. Today, you can size up a
facility floor-restoration project with an infrared smartphone, and select from
ergonomically designed power tools matched to the precise needs of the job. </div>

would be interesting to take a quick peek at the past and future of floor care
and restoration. </div>

Wood, tile, concrete -- each require a different approach, and
on top of that, they may be coated with anything from anti-slip to high-gloss
treatments. Although the physical work has gotten easier, advances in flooring
materials, tools, cleaning agents and regulations have added complexity to the
work that hands-on craftspeople love to do. </div>

Another way that restoration has changed over time is that the

<div class="normal">
According to <a href="http://www.hardwoodfloorsmag.com/installation/the-history-of-the-wood-flooring-industry.html"><span style="color: #1155cc;">Hardwood Floors Magazine</span></a>, floor care and
restoration leaped forward with the advent of carpeting. Seen as a rescue from
the tedious work of waxing floors, </div>
<div class="normal">
its popularity soared in the 1960s -- running wood-flooring
factories out of business. </div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
The outcome was that a whole new industry was born. In search
of new sources of income, displaced wood workers began to make a point of
offering their services to victims of fire, even watching the news for tips on
who might be in need. By the time the wood floor industry saw signs of
recovery, so many workers had left that new workers had to be trained -- fast.
This sparked the development of training programs and trade associations as the
industry became more complex. </div>

<div class="normal">
Thanks to the construction booms of the 1920s and 1940s we now
have aging buildings in need of restoration. This raises a number of issues,
for instance: </div>

Based on highlights of an industry convention coming up in
Sept. 2016, <a href="http://www.experiencetheevents.com/texp_conv.html"><span style="color: #1155cc;">The Experience,</span></a> you’re likely to see new
smartphone-based tools designed to take environmental readings of <span style="background: white; mso-highlight: white;">salt, dust, humidity, rain,
vibration, solar radiation and thermal shock resistance. As capability expands,
training may become more specialized. Trade associations such as the </span><a href="http://www.restorationindustry.org/"><span style="background: white; color: #1155cc;">Restoration Industry Association</span></a><span style="background: white; mso-highlight: white;"> seem to be ready to help workers

need for new floor cleaning equipment. According to Dodge Data and Analytics,
construction in the U.S. is set to increase 6% by the end of 2016, following
gains of 9% in 2014 and 13% in 2015, and a large percentage of this
construction falls into the “institutional” and “commercial” categories. These
types of new facilities all require well-planned cleaning programs, hence the anticipated

they face very specific challenges when it comes to sanitation. Large amounts
of pathogens are carried inside these facilities every day, and the occupants
of these buildings are often more vulnerable to the diseases these pathogens
than the general public. That’s why it’s so important for new healthcare facilities
to use equipment that can thoroughly disinfect while minimizing the use of
chemicals. Cleaning health facilities also needs to be done very quietly,
further narrowing the field when it comes to which floor cleaning equipment you
select for the job.</span></span><br />

new healthcare facilities, they do have something in common. Schools, like
hospitals, also have particularly sensitive occupants. This not only means that
thorough disinfection is important, but also that chemical use must be kept to
a minimum due to allergies and sensitivities among students. Schools, both new
and old, can benefit greatly from this kind of green cleaning and disinfection.
Plus, in order to clean during more productive daytime hours, floor cleaning
equipment should be as quiet running as possible to avoid disrupting the
learning process.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>When it comes to floor cleaning, being green is actually pretty easy. </b></span></h3>
<br />
<div class="bodycopy">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The term “green cleaning” is tossed around the cleaning
industry left and right, but what does it actually mean? In the most basic
sense, “green cleaning” is when a task meant to sanitize a given area also
conserves energy, water and chemicals while minimizing the impact on human
health. It’s an attractive idea for facility managers and service contractors everywhere,
not only for its potential health benefits, but because it cuts costs. Green
cleaning, it turns out, is actually good for business. </span></div>

<!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A staggering 6 billion pounds of cleaning chemicals
are used around the world annual. Minimizing the use of these chemicals and the
harm they can cause is one motivation behind green cleaning. In fact, green
cleaning programs nearly always mandate the use of chemicals that have been
certified by organizations such as CRI, Green Seal, EcoLogo and EPA Design for
Environment.</span></span><br />

Still, even the greenest chemicals and machines are useless unless they can get

</div>As any building service staffer knows there are few things more annoying than wet floors. That awful squish when you step on wet mats or carpet and even worse is the slickness and danger of wet non-carpeted floors. Now that winter is here that means extra water will be tracked into your facility, especially if you live in a colder climate where you have to deal with snow and slush. Keeping the entrance clean and dry becomes an almost daily struggle. Sure, you can constantly try and soak up the extra water with a mop, but before long your mop will also become too wet to be effective and even when it’s dry it still leaves that fine film of moisture on the floor, which is still a slip hazard. Instead use the <a href="https://www.advance-us.com/products/carpetextractors/hydrodry/hydrodry.aspx" target="_blank">HydroDry Dryer</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>What's so great about the HydroDry?</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> Aside from being <a href="http://www.intertek.com/marks/etl/faq/" target="_blank">ETL and CETL approved</a>, its single knob 3 speed control makes it easy to adjust the air flow to best meet your needs. It’s stackable to help save that all important storage space and has an optional transport kit with a handle and wheels for easy maneuverability and transport. Besides why carry it when you could roll it, right? If you have a large space to dry with limited wall plugins, the 25-foot safety yellow power cord will help or simply utilize the dual on-board outlets and use up to three units in a daisy chain configuration. This will not only help you dry your floor more quickly, but also more evenly.<br />
<br />
<b>Sounds like a seasonal machine. What else can be done with it?</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> The HydroDry can be utilized for many different applications. Fire it up after a carpet extraction or to help dry floor finish. Worried it might create waves in the finish of your nice, evenly applied finished floor? Don’t be. HydroDry comes standard with a kick-stand to elevate its air flow and avoid creating waves. It can be used in the restroom to help dry a wet floor from an overflow or pipe sweat. Have a big painting job in one of the more high traffic areas in your facility? Once the painting is complete use it to help dry the paint faster. Since HydroDry’s main function is air flow, it can also be used to help ventilate closed, stuffy areas and remove smoke and unwanted fumes more quickly.<br />
<br />
The overall versatility of HydroDry makes it a must have for all facilities. Contact one of our <a href="https://www.advance-us.com/findadealer.aspx" target="_blank">dealers</a> and see for yourself.Advancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13499063018713748049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755525812566814726.post-37105754998381312562015-12-17T16:57:00.002-06:002015-12-17T16:57:08.796-06:00Nilfisk Acquires Pressure Pro<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

features of the SW8000™, along with a 77-inch sweeping path and the industry’s
only available variable speed side brooms, is its ability to keep dust
contained using a unique 5-stage system known as DustClear™. This way, dust is
less likely to find its way onto unwanted surfaces such as cars, products ready
for shipment, and even the exterior of the sweeper itself. It’s an incredible,
long-awaited step forward in sweeper technology.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> is DustGuard, which can suppress dust by up to 70% by
trapping it in a fine water mist before it can become airborne. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s
cleaning 101: If you’re using dirty cleaning equipment, are you really
cleaning? The answer is: no, not really. Cleaning equipment is on the
infection-prevention front line, actually directly touching and collecting the
germs that can cause illness. Without a regular washing, your equipment isn’t
helping to prevent infection as much as it could. In the end, cleaner cleaning
equipment is more effective at helping to prevent sickness in your facility. </span></div>

now, everyone knows that many common (and uncommon) illnesses spread through
the air. Pathogens such as bacteria, fungal spores and viruses can go from
person to person through the simple act of breathing. Often, a certain degree
of sickness in any facility is to be expected, but by installing an effective,
efficient air filtration system, the spread of infection can be curbed
dramatically. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another
necessity when it comes to infection control is the regular cleaning and
disinfection of any surface that people or animals touch. Counters, tabletops,
doorknobs, walls, floors, the list goes on. Because, when we touch surfaces, we
unwittingly leave behind countless bacteria and, potentially, viruses.
Obviously, not every surface can be scrubbed down after every person makes
contact with it, but a regular surface-cleaning regimen in your cleaning
program can help to decrease the spread of infection.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s
almost inevitable. Anywhere food is prepared and/or consumed is bound to get
dirty. From the largest kitchens down to the office microwave, there are plenty
of ways food particles can get into even the tiniest nooks and crannies. The
problem is that food decays, producing bacteria and even attracting unwanted critters,
none of which are conducive to infection prevention. But by thoroughly and
regularly cleaning any food-preparation area, the spread of infection can be
slowed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some
of the biggest culprits when it comes to spreading infection in any facility
are people. Even the cleanest people carry a significant amount of bacteria,
fungi and viruses, and can spread illness to other people without even
realizing it. However, through persistent personal hygiene such as routine hand
washing, covering our mouths when coughing and sneezing, and regular bathing,
we not only help to prevent catching an illness, we’re helping to prevent the
spreading illness to others. Basically, clean people make for cleaner,
healthier facilities, so make sure your facility promotes personal hygiene as
much as possible through signage, brochures or any other type of polite
reminder to stay clean. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This
year’s ISSA/Interclean convention in Las Vegas is bound to be a good time.
First off, it’s being held in the entertainment capital of America, full of
legendary casinos, fantastic shows and miles of unbeatable buffets. But even
better than all-you-can-eat lobster, Cirque de Soleil and slots is the new
technology and innovations that will be on display. All are sure to get
attendees excited about the future of their cleaning programs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For
those interested in finding out what Advance is up to at this year’s ISSA, the
main thing to remember is that Advance will be setting up at the Nilfisk booth
along with the rest of the Nilfisk family. This will save a lot of walking for
ISSA attendees in Vegas, giving people more time to check out our new products
designed to save cleaning time for facility managers everywhere. </span></div>

Since the dawn of large-scale industrial cleaning, facility owners, managers and maintenance staffs have been searching for ways to clean faster and as efficiently as possible. They’ve always been looking to the future, hoping for advancements in cleaning technology. With REV, the wait is over.</span></span></div>

It uses distinct orbital and rotational motions combining microscrubbing into the main orbital scrubbing, resulting in a smooth, clean finish without streaking and in far fewer passes. Essentially, Random Orbital Scrubbing quite literally approaches dirt from multiple angles and ensures nothing gets missed. It’s so effective that it can remove a floor’s finish, leaving it ready for restoration in a single pass using only water. A truly impressive feat in high tech cleaning. </span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">REV technology not only cleans more effectively, but it also gives the operator total control over the quantity of water and chemicals that are used in any given area. This helps minimize both splashing and the amount of dumping required. This doesn’t simply save the operator from unnecessary physical labor. It also prevents the unnecessary overuse of water and chemicals, making it both a wise financial investment and a responsible choice with regard to the environment. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another important aspect of REV technology is one that your facility’s visitors might appreciate more than anyone. It’s extremely quiet. In fact, at fewer than 70 decibels, it’s no louder than the average person’s speaking voice. This opens up the opportunity for maintenance personnel to clean during the day without interrupting anyone who happens to be nearby. In turn, it allows owners and managers to cut back on maintenance hours and costs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All in all, REV technology is one more innovation that has kept Advance at the forefront of industrial cleaning technology. It cleans better and more efficiently, using less water and fewer chemicals, all while doing so more quietly and neatly without splashing. Without a doubt, Advance is cleaning the hallway to the future.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Advance, the brand
known and trusted to introduce productivity-enhancing innovations in the

Scrubber. By combining efficiency, ergonomics and ease of use, the Advance
SC500 is specifically designed to provide more productive and sustainable daily

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Advance has a proven track record of providing our customers
with cleaning technologies that meet their productivity, efficiency and

Commercial Sales with Nilfisk. “The SC500 is yet another example of that.

<div class="MsoNormal">
The SC500 features Advance’s innovative flow regulation
system that adjusts the solution flow rate based on the machine’s speed. The
system ensures consistent cleaning results, reduces water and chemical usage,
and results in less downtime. The ultra quiet SC500, which operates at 63 dBA,
also boasts a Quiet Mode of 60 dBA. Quiet Mode allows for true daytime cleaning
in even the quietest environments. And, the SC500 includes EcoFlex, which allows
the operator to effortlessly switch between chemical-free, water-only cleaning
and varying degrees of detergent use.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Additional features and benefits of the SC500 include its
ergonomic and easy-to-use design, such as a pressure-sensitive control panel;
single-button solution, vacuum and brush deck activation; a foot pedal to
engage the squeegee; and effortless propulsion, all of which make the SC500
easy for virtually any operator to use and control.<o:p></o:p></div>

Whether you rely on an in-house staff or a building service contractor to clean your school’s floors, there’s never been a better time to know what successes other facility managers are experiencing and how you might improve on your own current practices. Innovation to better clean carpeted floors, improved cleaning productivity, incredible cost savings—these are just a few recent stories we’ve gathered from across the country about how Advance is revolutionizing the way schools clean.</div>
<div class="bodycopy" style="margin-top: 6pt;">
<b>Going soft on floors, but tough on clean.</b></div>
<div class="bodycopy" style="margin-top: 6pt;">
The first school that reached out had recently started leveraging the power of the Advance ES4000™ carpet cleaner. This versatile riding machine provides a total carpet care solution, eliminating the need for multiple machines and enhancing productivity up to 400% compared to walk-behind extractors. It performs daily cleaning, low-moisture cleaning, restorative extraction and more—all at a quiet decibel level no louder than a person speaking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CYVECRa1cUo/VTqF6oh4neI/AAAAAAAAAWk/YFpu3Peeo2Y/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-04-24%2Bat%2B1.05.17%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CYVECRa1cUo/VTqF6oh4neI/AAAAAAAAAWk/YFpu3Peeo2Y/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-04-24%2Bat%2B1.05.17%2BPM.png" width="211" /></a></div>
<div class="bodycopy" style="margin-top: 6pt;">
For education facilities with significant carpeted space, the capabilities of the ES4000 allow you to maintain a high level of clean, even in high traffic areas. The school, in this instance, is deriving maximum benefits from the versatility of the ES4000. The multi-purpose platform allows them to use a single machine to conduct daily cleaning as well as periodic touch ups and deep extraction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only will the ES4000 allow the district to maintain a healthy, clean environment for its students and faculty, it will also extend the life of the carpet—ultimately helping the district to save money.</div>
<div class="bodycopy" style="margin-top: 6pt;">
<b>Standing up for productivity.</b></div>
<div class="bodycopy" style="margin-top: 6pt;">
The second story came from a school district that took the Advance SC1500™ standup scrubber with REV™ orbital scrubbing technology for a spin—and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">loved</i> it. The REV system is known industry-wide for providing uniform, deep-scrubbing performance and even single-pass, chemical-free floor finish removal.</div>
<div class="bodycopy" style="margin-top: 6pt;">
Reporting steadily rising levels of production—including hallways getting cleaned more frequently and dreaded floor projects becoming simpler, safer tasks—this particular facility manager has since made the SC1500 with REV a mainstay throughout the entire school district.</div>
<div class="bodycopy" style="margin-top: 6pt;">
<b>Getting REVved up about cost-savings and safety.</b></div>
<div class="bodycopy" style="margin-top: 6pt;">
The final story came out of a school district in Texas where operation managers were also discovering the power of REV technology. With 152 classrooms in their high school, every hour of labor and gallon of chemical added up to significant costs. Fortunately, once they adopted REV equipment, things started changing right away: stripping one classroom floor went from requiring three people and 1.5 hours to one person needing only a half hour. The resulting labor savings was over 85 percent!</div>
<div class="bodycopy" style="margin-top: 6pt;">
In addition, in the previous year there had been three slip and fall incidents, which cost the district $70,000. With REV’s chemical-free floor stripping, no such instances occurred and the district actually finished three weeks early—saving on both wages and air conditioning costs too.</div>
<div class="bodycopy" style="margin-top: 6pt;">
<b>Wrapping up</b></div>
<br />
<div class="bodycopy" style="margin-top: 6pt;">
Schools will always prove to be challenging environments to clean: high traffic, tight turnarounds and tough budgets are only a few of the many considerations operations managers regularly make. But as a primary solutions provider for educational facilities nationwide, Advance is finding that, as more schools share their successes in best practices for cleaning, the better off everyone will be.

Nilfisk, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of
professional cleaning equipment, today announced that it is moving its Americas
headquarters from Plymouth, Minn., to Brooklyn Park, Minn. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For the past 28 years, Nilfisk has maintained its Americas
headquarters in Plymouth, most recently in a 216,000-square foot facility
located near the intersection of Minnesota State Highway 55 and 21<sup>st</sup>
Avenue North. With its current lease set to expire in April of 2016, the
company has opted to build a new 182,000-square foot facility in Brooklyn Park’s
Northcross Business Park.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“With our lease expiring, we saw an opportunity to assess
our needs as it relates to production capacity and work flow and determine if
our current facility was sufficiently meeting those needs. In the end, we
decided that a new custom-built facility would serve us better, not just for today
but for well into the future,” said Diane Lapp, CFO of Nilfisk Americas. “Not
only will our new facility better serve our employees, but it will allow us to further
enhance our ability to provide world-class products and service to our
customers.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lapp added that the move, which will begin in the fourth
quarter of 2015 and be complete by the first quarter of 2016, will include all current
Plymouth-based employees, approximately 300, and all operations as they exist
today, including manufacturing and production, sales and marketing, R&D and
product management, and corporate services. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Northcross Business Park is located at the intersection of
Minnesota State Highway 610 and U.S. Highway 169, just 12 miles from Nilfisk’s
current location. Nilfisk is working with United Properties and Pope Architects
to develop and design its new space.</div>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Advance’s newest scrubbing powerhouse, the <a href="http://www.advance-us.com/products/scrubbers/sc6500/sc6500.aspx" target="_blank">SC6500</a>, delivers effortless control and efficient, sustainable scrubbing in a compact package. The tight turning radius, simple operation and up to 48-inch clean path deliver effective, single-pass cleaning to demanding environments such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, athletic facilities, universities and more.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ob3KW0Zdd2M/VRAvACUZKGI/AAAAAAAAAVc/UspvqVmgNDA/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-03-23%2Bat%2B10.18.53%2BAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ob3KW0Zdd2M/VRAvACUZKGI/AAAAAAAAAVc/UspvqVmgNDA/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-03-23%2Bat%2B10.18.53%2BAM.png" height="640" width="504" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Efficient, single-pass cleaning.</span></i></h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The SC6500 boasts high-capacity, 70-gallon solution and recovery tanks and the tightest aisle turn radius in its class, helping you to maximize scrubbing time and get the job done faster. With its high power scrub deck driven by dual 1.5hp motors, a single pass is all you need to achieve an amazingly clean floor. </span><br />
<h3>
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Heavy-duty durable construction.</span></i></h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Specifically engineered for the most severe industrial applications, the SC6500 packs an array of features that extend its service life and minimize downtime. The maintenance-free AC brushless propulsion drive delivers a quiet yet powerful and precise performance. Combined with an industrial bumper, frame-mounted deflectors and a tubular, steel construction, the SC6500 is as tough as they come and built to last.<br /></span><br />
<h3>
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Versatile operation.</span></i></h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The SC6500 delivers the highest level of clean no matter what the job or who is behind the wheel. Heavy-duty adjustable Linatex™ side squeegees apply downward pressure leaving floors clean, dry and safe. Even rough floors are no match for the SC6500. The optional dual vac system is designed to enhance water pickup on uneven and porous floors, even at high speeds. The available EcoFlex™ System cleans smartly and more sustainably with customizable settings that allow the operator to effortlessly switch between chemical-free, water-only cleaning and varying degrees of detergent use. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The flexibility of the SC6500 doesn’t stop there—an offset scrub deck effectively cleans hard-to-reach edges and the Clear-View adjustable tilt steering column provides an ergonomic ride for virtually any operator. The SC6500 easily adapts to just about any conditions you throw at it, ensuring improved cleaning productivity for facility maintenance crews on a wide variety of challenging floors.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nilfisk-Advance, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of
professional cleaning equipment, today announced that it has changed its corporate
name and brand to Nilfisk. The change is designed to create a stronger
alignment with the company’s global product brands while increasing brand
awareness for Nilfisk customers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“In changing our name, we are reducing complexity in our
branding and simplifying our overall brand hierarchy to make it easier to
understand for our end-customers and dealers across the world,” said Jonas
Persson, president and CEO of the Nilfisk Group.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--F4Sus_6jjg/VPCdI3UQjAI/AAAAAAAAAUo/uf2ZxCxvtlM/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-27%2Bat%2B11.36.25%2BAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--F4Sus_6jjg/VPCdI3UQjAI/AAAAAAAAAUo/uf2ZxCxvtlM/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-27%2Bat%2B11.36.25%2BAM.png" height="55" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">According to Jeff Barna, senior general manager and
president of Nilfisk-Americas, removing Advance from the corporate name and
brand in no way diminishes the importance of the Advance product brand. “We will
continue to leverage the strong heritage and history of the Advance, Clarke,
and Viper brands as we market and sell them throughout the Americas,” he said.
“This new corporate identity provides an exciting opportunity to support
Nilfisk’s future market strategy and further position the company as a global
market leader.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Barna added that the change does not impact the company’s current
product brands or brand names, nor the company’s go-to-market approach with dealers
and end-users.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A new Nilfisk corporate visual identity will be unveiled in
April; over the course of the year, Nilfisk will update websites, marketing
materials, back office systems, legal conditions, etc. to reflect the change.</span></div>

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XU19kDPDA4A/VOIQiIr_45I/AAAAAAAAATg/BibFbkR4sUU/s1600/Kinseth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XU19kDPDA4A/VOIQiIr_45I/AAAAAAAAATg/BibFbkR4sUU/s1600/Kinseth.jpg" height="104.5" width="475" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Delivering on their promise of “world-class hospitality” for “every guest, every time” is no small task for Kinseth Hospitality Companies—especially considering the dozens of hotel brands they operate across the Midwest. Every room, hallway and common area needs to look consistently, freshly cleaned, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without ever closing the doors to guests. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Such is the case for one Kinseth Hospitality property: the Holiday Inn Hotel & Conference Center located in the heart of Rock Island, Illinois. With 175 guest rooms, nearly 10,000 square feet of convention hall space and a large, open lobby and waiting area, this Kinseth property uses Holiday Inn’s Sparkle Program to set a strict standard of cleanliness throughout the hotel. However, achieving that standard is easier said than done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qUWWy-uKbYE/VOIRFEB_icI/AAAAAAAAATo/PqzXzoEKVWA/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-16%2Bat%2B9.47.16%2BAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qUWWy-uKbYE/VOIRFEB_icI/AAAAAAAAATo/PqzXzoEKVWA/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-16%2Bat%2B9.47.16%2BAM.png" /></a><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>The Challenge</i></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The constant foot traffic from occupants and conferences, large space and high standard of guest satisfaction all present a complex challenge for Holiday Inn Rock Island’s cleaning and maintenance staff. In addition, while the hotel’s vintage appearance lends itself to a comfortable, classic atmosphere, its 1964 construction makes cleaning and maintenance even more difficult. Finally, because of the always-open nature of the business, there’s little time to implement new practices and equipment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“We don’t have a ton of time. Our business is open 24/7, 365 days a year. There’s always stuff going on. There’s always motion in the building. There’s always something,” said Connie Schlichting, Regional General Manager for Kinseth Hotels. In short, there’s a lot of space to clean, and a number of complicating factors dictating how that space can be cleaned.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>The Solution</i></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Connie turned to Advance for answers, and the team went to work. Meeting on site with Connie and her staff, the Advance team introduced seven new cleaning machines specifically selected to best suit their needs, while replacing mops, buckets and other outdated equipment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In just a few hours, the Advance team organized and provided basic operational training to the hotel staff, and left the machines in their capable hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>The Result</i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Just one month after the Advance team trained in the hotel cleaning staff, the difference wasn’t just clear—it was clean. </span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x2pCBKNPR0M/VOIRaPBV1UI/AAAAAAAAATw/SGtdZQnQ1Ug/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-16%2Bat%2B9.48.32%2BAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x2pCBKNPR0M/VOIRaPBV1UI/AAAAAAAAATw/SGtdZQnQ1Ug/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-16%2Bat%2B9.48.32%2BAM.png" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">Connie reported productivity boosts that reduced cleaning times up to 30%, saving anywhere from three to five minutes per room. This allowed for the same number of staff to clean more areas of the hotel in the same amount of time. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">But employees weren’t just cleaning faster—they reported a higher level of satisfaction with the ease of cleaning. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rock Island guests weren’t just pointing out how clean things were; more often they were not even noticing it at all as faster dry times meant no “Wet Floor” signs, quieter vacuums meant fewer noise complaints, and higher productivity meant staff spending less time in each area. And, thanks to the primarily battery-powered equipment, both guests and staff didn’t have to worry about the common tripping hazards presented by traditional power cords.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GgoTMeeizWw/VOITXNYLglI/AAAAAAAAAT8/TkBgx8qnhr0/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-16%2Bat%2B9.56.58%2BAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GgoTMeeizWw/VOITXNYLglI/AAAAAAAAAT8/TkBgx8qnhr0/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-16%2Bat%2B9.56.58%2BAM.png" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Perhaps the most important result that arose from the study was the high quality of cleaning itself. For example, when comparing the performance of the SC351TM micro scrubber to a traditional mop and bucket in their lobby, Connie said, “It just made it very smooth and clean all day long. We used it every day, and while you only had to use it once, the more we used it, the better our floor looked. It just keeps the shine and everything about the floor looking a lot better.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From the quiet, lightweight and longer-corded vacuum to the fast-drying, non-streaking micro scrubber, each piece of Advance equipment used at Holiday Inn Rock Island received a glowing review. Beyond that, the cleaning performance and productivity at Holiday Inn Rock Island really speaks for itself—cleaning that people don't see to believe.</span><br />
