CLEANING FLOORS LIKE A REAL PRO
What are the experts' tricks for flawless, effortless cleaning and which tools make it light as well as effective?
Our experts answer.
Is floor polishing a specialised task in your opinion, or could anyone do it?
Floor polishing can become an easy task with the right equipment: operators must be equipped with practical and intuitive products and systems to perform the task easily.
Filmop has been the first Italian manufacturing company having special attention to ergonomics: the result is a wide range of cleaning products and systems characterized by a simple and clear design that makes them easy to use. The Filmop range includes ErgoSwing, the ergonomic system designed to accommodate movement in an S-shape, resulting in less effort required by the operator. ErgoSwing can really make a difference: the use of the handle with a turning grip together with the mop holder with ergonomic joint ensures easier cleaning and high performances. Moreover, ErgoSwing is highly intuitive and allows anyone to use it correctly, thus reducing training time.
Does the ease or difficulty of the floor-polishing task depend on the type of floor and/or the type of floor polishing equipment being used?
Professional cleaning must take into account the specific needs of each type of floor: it is pivotal to choose the yarn based on the specific surface, as well as the equipment suitable for the task.
Ever since its foundation, Filmop has invested in research and development to offer solutions always in line with the market needs. All the cleaning systems realized are highly ergonomic and allow operators to perform tasks efficiently and rapidly. Moreover, Filmop offers a full range of high-performance mops to meet any cleaning need.
What type of floor polishing task would you consider to be more complex? (hard-to-clean surfaces; difficult-to-operate machinery, floors that could be damaged during polishing etc)
The non-slip floors require a specific yarn: Filmop recommends Puli-Brush, a ultra-microfibre and polypropylene mop ideal for all rough surfaces with a medium-high dirt level. The polypropylene quickly loosens even the most stubborn dirt, which is then captured by the microfibre, releasing it only in the washing phase. Puli-Brush offers high performance without sacrificing smoothness: the mop glides over the surface, leaving it perfectly clean.
Is it important that staff should be properly trained in the use of equipment? What training do you offer to ensure that your floor polishing equipment is used correctly?
Without any doubt, operators have to be trained in the use of equipment to perform their tasks properly. Filmop suggests its customers on the cleaning system mostly fitting their own needs and supports them with training on-site and on its premises, with inspections at cleaning yards too.
What floor polishing solutions does your company offer that are particularly easy to use?
Filmop has always paid attention to user-friendliness while developing professional systems: one of the innovations that stands out most is ErgoSwing, an ergonomic system designed to guarantee less strain and increased productivity, together with better floor cleaning performances. The ErgoSwing usability analysis carried out by a consulting company demonstrates that ErgoSwing allows you to maintain a correct posture while cleaning floors, preventing the onset of disorders and pathologies affecting the musculoskeletal system. Moreover, this study demonstrates a significant reduction in wrist flexion and extension movements when compared with traditional systems, therefore reducing strain and the consequent risk of work-related illnesses. Finally, the analysis found that the effort made by operators while using ErgoSwing is significantly lower than that of standard systems, leading to less fatigue and an increase in operator psychophysical well-being.
