A3 Floor Cleaning Machines

Recently our sales team paid a visit to a large sports centre in Southend on Sea to demonstrate a machine for Acrylic Tennis Court Cleaning . The centre had several internal courts which were being cleaned with a pedestrian scrubber dryer. With the overall size of a Tennis Court being approximately 300m2 each the cleaning team were getting a lot of exercise running it around the court. Acrylic Tennis Court Cleaning with a Fimap Mxr The floors had an acrylic covering on them and were quite heavily stained in some areas and their old machine was now struggling to make a difference. The club were now looking for a new cleaning machine, so after weighing in the needs of the sports centre, we recommended a battery powered Fimap Mxr scrubber dryer. We took the machine down to Southend and set it up along the edge of one of the tennis courts. The battery had already been charged up overnight so after filling the solution tank with detergent we began the demonstration. The d

A tennis club in Central London were in touch recently about cleaning their external tennis courts. It turns out they had been cleaning the courts with a jet washer which was leading to the consumption of a huge volume of water. They estimated the consumption to be 2,000 litres of water per court and when you consider they have 12 tennis courts it’s easy to calculate this was costing the club a lot of money. Scrubber Dryers – The Jet Washing Alternative If you follow our blog, you will be aware that we have previously recommended the use of scrubber dryers for Tennis Court Cleaning, they consume very little water and are quicker in comparison to jet washing and provide a deep clean to any hard floor surface. Our sales team felt a scrubber dryer would be the perfect solution for the club in London and a visit was organised to demonstrate two machines that would meet their requirements and budget. The machines demonstrated at the club were a reconditioned Taski Swingo 1255B wa

Recently the Soft Services manager responsible for the Service Station Cleaning at a facility on the M20 motorway got in touch with us looking for a machine to clean their large public floor areas. The service station just outside of Folkstone is a modern 24-hour service station and HGV Truck Stop that services the nearby port and Eurotunnel. It’s extremely busy and the manager was tasked with keeping the environment clean not just for truck drivers but also for families. The facility includes the usual mix of washrooms, shops and self-service restaurants. They needed a floor cleaning machine that could deal efficiently and effectively with the marks and dirt left by the constant and heavy traffic of people traversing the floors in the main area and passageways. After some consultation we scheduled a date to take a brand-new Viper AS710R Ride on scrubber dryer down to the service station in Kent to demonstrate its capabilities.

A Shropshire Secondary School called us in recently to repair a Cleanfix RA 431 Scrubber Dryer which had developed a fault. We quickly booked one of our cleaning machine engineers to attend the school the next day and make a repair. Scrubber dryers are ideal for cleaning school flooring, they are effective and always provide a much more intensive and quicker clean than a janitor’s mop and bucket. Assessing a Faulty Cleanfix RA 431 Scrubber Dryer Our engineer made the journey to the relatively short journey to the school in Shropshire to inspect the machine; I say relatively short as our engineers cover the whole country and so it makes a nice change to stay within our home county. After running some tests on the scrubber dryer, it was clear there were some serious problems with the machine including the machine’s brush which had stopped spinning. He decided that the machine would benefit from a full strip down and test to get to the bottom of the faults. As a result, our

We received an email enquiry from a large public house in Nantwich , Cheshire asking for information on a scrubber dryer that would be suitable for restaurant and pub floor cleaning . They had previously bought a Victor Europa floor polisher from ourselves and were now looking to purchase another cleaning machine to deep clean their other floors. The managers were keen to have a demo of various scrubber dryers on offer, so we arranged a date to head over the following week and demonstrate a couple of machines that matched their requirements. Pub Floor Cleaning Machine Demo I’m sure you can imagine pub floors can get in a terrible state with the inevitable and constant spilling of drinks etc. Manual cleaning methods simply can’t deal with this problem efficiently so acquiring a modern scrubber dryer makes complete sense when it comes to pub floor cleaning. We took with us two scrubber dryers from Viper Cleaning, a Viper AS380C and the larger Viper AS5160 . Both machines are very

One of our cleaning machine engineers attended a Primary School in Fishguard last week that had a fault with their Viper Fang 24T scrubber dryer . The school reported that the machine had stared smelling and leaking black streaks behind when in use. The school rely on this machine to provide a clean environment for the children who as you can image can cause quite a mess at times. Fishguard is a coastal town on the Welsh Pembrokeshire coast which is quite a remote yet beautiful area. A3 Machines clients stretch right across the country so its not unusual to find our engineers putting in some miles to resolve a machine issue. This is why we always take time to train our customers in the operation and maintenance of their machines when we are on-site, it also helps minimise downtime for the customers. Repairing a Viper Fang 24T Scrubber Dryer in Pembrokeshire It’s a good four-hour drive to Fishguard from our service centre in Market Drayton so we dispatched an engineer the followin

We were recently contacted by the practice manager or a Doctor’s Surgery in Stoke on Trent who wanted to get a quote for hiring or purchasing outright a suitable carpet cleaner. There’s only so much you can achieve with a vacuum and hiring a carpet cleaning company on a regular basis isn’t an efficient use of funds, so they were keen to explore other more effective options. Being a doctor’s surgery hygiene was an important factor, as was the ability to respond and clean up quickly after any unplanned events. Another factor that prompted the surgery to get in touch was the increasingly awful weather we have been experiencing which results in dirt becoming trodden into the flooring in the reception area and waiting room carpets. Prochem Galaxy Carpet Cleaner After reviewing the requirements and asking questions about the general environment and flooring we recommended the Prochem Galaxy Carpet Cleaner . The Galaxy is perfect for in-house cleaning as well as car valeting, spotting

We had to put our thinking caps on recently when Odeon approached us about purchasing a Cinema Cleaning machine. As you know, cinemas (or movie theaters as the American’s like to call them) have a very high footfall with 1,000’s of people stepping through their doors every month. This can produce a lot of dirt and grime, which needs to be cleaned daily to keep up the appearance of the cinema. Their main concern was the large concourse at the front of the cinema where people gather, purchase tickets and buy food and drink etc. Our job was to recommend a reliable hard floor cleaning machine that could clean large floor quickly, safely and effectively. They wanted to purchase the machine outright and were working within a budget. Odeon Cinemas Founded back in 1930, ODEON is the largest and best-known cinema chain in the UK and Ireland. Their flagship ODEON Luxe cinema in London’s Leicester Square is globally famous for hosting over 700 of Europe’s biggest film premieres and now f

Our service team received a call from a retailer in Bradford about a Viper AS5160 repair . It seems their scrubber dryer was not picking up dirty water from the floor effectively. If your familiar with scrubber dryers, you will realise that this is a major issue as it’s not practical for someone to follow up with a mop. The store was located in a Bradford retail park which was very popular with shoppers and at this time of the year with snow and rainwater to deal with they needed a Viper AS5160 Repair as soon as possible. The A3 Machines team fully understand the importance of keeping retail floors clean, not only does it provide a welcome atmosphere for customers but also that they meet the high levels of hygiene standards set by head office. Viper AS5160 Repair in Bradford An engineer was promptly assigned who aware that the problem most likely related to the vacuum side of the Viper AS5160 or floor squeegee ensured his service vehicle contained the relevant spare parts before

When it comes to tennis court cleaning few firms are more experienced than A3 Machines, this combined with our ability to find the best machine for customers has given us a good reputation in this market. A good example of this is a recent request from Campden Hill Lawn Tennis Club in Kensington, London. They were concerned that their indoor tennis court floors were looking too worn and were looking for a new tennis court cleaning machine to get them looking new again. Campden Hill Lawn Tennis Club The Campden Hill Lawn Tennis Club was founded in 1884, just seven years after the first Wimbledon championships were held. There are few records remaining from the later 19th and early 20th centuries, but by the mid-1920s it was thriving. At this time there were already twelve courts (all with hard surfaces) and a full-time caretaker called Mr Zilwood. He lived in one of the club’s cottages with is daughter, son In law and granddaughter. In the summer, Zilwood’s daughter used to pr
