Hi,
In your opinions please what is the best to clean safety flooring?
Non slip flooring found in factory corridors ect..
We are talking about a heavily used canteen (600 staff 24/7) and 100mtr x 2 mtr corridors.

Canteen is pale green, corridors are dark red.

I personally think a scrubber drier, battery operated obviously due to the nature of the place and the staff coming and going.
But was suggested today during a site visit that a Rotowash be used.
My experience of Rotowash is seeing them parked up, not used, their job replaced by a mop. Happy to be corrected though.

Not sure where to post this so will try general and carpet forums.
Many thanks
Paul

If I had to choose betwen the two I think I would go for a scrubber drier. Faster.

Battery scrubber drier, much easier and safer with no cable over the floor. Thats a big area to be doing with a little Rotowash.

Thats 1 to my side then!!
I just picture the Rotowash with its girly brushes and .5 litre collection in a tray or something silly, compared to a Hako battery scrubber, walking pace, brush or pad, smart, manly.
Maybe wrong? Still time!

Are the rotowash really that bad, i was looking for one for a job, lots of small canteens, maybe 20 to 25 sq metres, saw the Truvox multiwash with 4 litre clean tank and pump, what do you think ?

I was with another manager today, he had asked for a heavy duty floor machine for one of his sites. The look of disappointment on his face when he was given a Truvox multiwash spoke volumes. Same as a Rotowash, the brushes were way too soft to achieve much and the waste tank was about 2 litres, and looked as if it would spill its contents if a tricky round a corner manoever was tried. Nah, not for me ta!!
And he was told it was a combi carpet cleaner too, woooo. Thats going to be good then! Anything marketed as a combi anything wont be much good at anything in my opinion.
God that sounded miserable.

I had a Rotowash years ago, was great for agitating carpets but not good on hard floors at all. You're right about the water tank and the waste, clean water opens and closes on a valve that either delivers too much or no water, emptying is very fiddly and more often than not I'd spill it.
