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...

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...
