Floorpad cleaner
February 1st 2004

With Health & Safety concerns high the any contractors agenda, staff need more than ever to ensure that dirt from pads is not smeared on floors to create a slip hazard. The Vacuweb floorpad cleaner enables this to be easily achieved. Hygiene is another consideration, especially in hospitals battling to restore their reputations over the MRSA super-bug.

Cleaning staff really need a clean pad at the start of every shift. But manual pad cleaning is a tedious process and managers know that it frequently goes undone. Apart from dirt, the flatness of the pad is also important for efficiency. It has been seen that pressure-washing and steam-cleaning frequently results in damage to the pads fabric and shape. Numatic Internationals training officer Roger Silcox says, Numatic International have installed this new pad cleaner in their two training schools in Chard and Warrington, and have found them to be a very useful addition in their pad maintenance and hygiene philosophy.
