Flexible Cleaning: Cleaning Performance for Specific Areas
It’s well known that high-traffic areas such as entryways and lobbies get particularly dirty. Some of today’s latest scrubbers allow operators to temporarily increase cleaning aggressiveness for specific problem areas. For instance, Advance’s EcoFlex™ System includes a “burst of power” button that automatically increases detergent, solution flow and brush pressure for 60 seconds in order to deliver greater scrubbing power for heavily soiled areas. This helps to eliminate time- and labor-intensive double-scrubbing that can be required if using a single-mode (low-flow or water-only) scrubber.

Flexible Cleaning: Detergent Dilution Ratio
Today’s floor chemicals are usually diluted at a ratio of 128:1 (128 parts water to 1 part detergent). This ratio is suitable to cleaning heavily soiled floors but can be excessive for routine cleaning applications.
To minimize chemical use, some recent floor machines include an ultra-low detergent mode suitable for normal cleaning. For example, Advance’s EcoFlex™ System is capable of dispensing detergent at a 400:1 ratio for routine cleaning of moderately soiled floors. This ratio enhances the natural cleaning power of water and break surface tension. In addition to providing green-cleaning results, this mode saves at least 50 percent in detergent costs and leaves behind a light, just-cleaned scent, which water cannot equally produce. Advanced floor scrubbing machines also feature onboard detergent-metering systems, which allows users to fill a tank with a cleaning product, set a selector to match the manufacturer’s suggested dilution ratio and insert the tank into the scrubber. This eliminates operator guesswork and ensures that detergent is dispensed at the proper dilution ratio.
Need to clean an area that requires a bit more scrub power? Next week we will look at automatic scrubber features that produce the necessary cleaning performance for specific areas.

Flexible Cleaning: Detergent Usage
In addition to switching between detergent cleaning and water-only cleaning, advanced automatic scrubbers have the ability to change detergents while scrubbing. This allows operators to easily match the correct detergent use to the specific cleaning application at hand.
Scrubbers that provide separate onboard tanks for water and detergent eliminate the task of premixing solution and the need to “dump” unused solution. This saves water and chemicals, in addition to minimizing waste-stream contribution. Refillable cleaning-fluid tanks allow a user to easily swap one detergent for another or to clean with water only, no matter where the machine is in the facility.
Next week, we will discuss the importance of dilution ratios.
