A3 Floor Cleaning Machines

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 ...

Once of our engineers reported back that a call we sent him on recently was caused by a severe build-up of Limescale and to resolve he had to run through a solution tank descaling procedure several times before the machine would dispense water onto the floor again. The call originated from a customer in Stoke-on-Trent who operate a discount store there; they reported that their Viper Fang 20 HD scrubber dryer would not dispense cleaning fluid onto the floor during operation and suspecting a mechanical fault requested an engineer attend and fix the problem. As we already had an engineer in the Stoke area, we were able to attend on the same day. Solution Tank Descaling a Viper Fang 20HD Our engineer called into the store in Stoke-on-Trent and started working on the machine to identify the cause. Our engineer soon discovered that the problem was due to an excessively large build-up of limescale inside the solution tank which was so bad that no water whatsoever was able to leave the...

A3 Machines recently took a call from the manager of a supermarket in Hanley , Stoke-on-Trent, who was looking for Floor Polisher Hire . It turns out they had just completed an extensive refurbishment of their store and the Terrazzo tiled floor was now in a very poor state and in of a face lift. Polishing Terrazzo Flooring Terrazzo is the by-product of broken pieces of stone often Marble, Limestone and Granite, which rather than being wasted are set into to a cement screed and poured onto the floor or as in this case formed into a tile which once set is grinded to a polished finish. Like any polished stone Terrazzo will lose its appearance over time and the best way to restore it is burnish it with diamond encrusted pads of different grits. Burnishing pads are available for this however to cover the 1300 m2 Terrazzo floor with a conventional machine could take weeks, so the manager wanted to know if we had a floor polisher hire that could do the job faster. Fortunately, we ha...

A call came in from the operations manager of a large retail store in Stoke-on-Trent who reported that their Karcher B40C floor cleaning machine had developed a fault in that it was not releasing water properly. Stoke-on-Trent is well known for being the home of the pottery industry in England with famous marques such as the Wedgewood factory being based there. Assessing the Karcher B40C Our engineer made the short journey to the retail store in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire to inspect and repair the faulty machine . The manager of the store had reported that their floor cleaning machine was not feeding water through from the tank to the floor when they were using it to clean. As such, the machine could not clean at all, as no water and solution were coming into contact with dirt on the floor. It is important for retail stores of such a size to keep their floors clean, to meet hygiene standards and to give customers a good impression upon entering the store. Plus, shopping trolley...

We were recently contacted by an existing customer of ours in  Stoke-on-Trent  who are a well known manufacturer of high end pottery tableware in Stoke-on-Trent. They were looking for a floor cleaning machine for their three storey high Victorian building which was the base for their manufacturing business. Also known as the Potteries, Stoke-on-Trent has a long heritage in the pottery industry with many famous brands based there. Choosing the Right Floor Cleaning Machine In order to recommend the right machine we made an initial site visit to assess the condition and material of the floors. Stoke-on-Trent isn’t too far from our base in Shropshire but its worth noting we are happy to make the effort to travel anywhere in England and Wales to carry out a demonstration. We found all three floors to be concrete and painted with red floor paint and the overall square meterage of the floors was 1,115m2 (approx 12,000 sq feet). Due to the nature of the business, the floors soo...
