A3 Floor Cleaning Machines

Recently we sent one of our team of engineers to a retail store in Oldham to assess and, if necessary, repair a cleaning machine that was used to clean the flooring within the store. For those who are unfamiliar Oldham is part of Greater Manchester in the Pennines and grew rapidly during the industrial boom of the 19th century where it became known as a centre of the textile manufacturing. Assessing and Repairing the Floor Cleaning Machine The issue with the machine according to the operator was that it was not working properly due to a split in a component. One of our engineers promptly arrived at the site to carry out the work needed to get the machine operational. As a large store in the town, it had a vast amount of tiled floor space , which, because of regular customer foot fall and trolley traffic, needs consistent cleaning to meet store and hygiene standards. Thus, it was very important for the engineer to assess the machine and remedy any issues. The machine was a Vi...

This week one of our engineers were sent to a car showroom in to assess a broken Nilfisk BA 530 floor scrubber dryer machine . The car showroom was located in Bristol one of the UK’s leading industrial powerhouses. Interestingly in an attempt to encourage consumers to shop with its local and independent business and retailers, the local government introduced a complementary currency there called the “ Bristol Pound ” (£B) which is valued against the Pound Sterling (£). We were informed over the phone that the machine was suffering from a loose hose which kept “falling off”. With this in mind our engineer stocked his vehicle with Nilfisk BA 530 parts and set off to the showroom to assess the machine and make any necessary repairs. Investigating and repairing the cleaning machine The premises in question were a car showroom in Bristol, South West UK and as such had large areas of Porcelain tiles and some laminate flooring . As is generally the case, these showrooms see a decent a...

We were contacted by a renowned German car manufacturer regarding one of their showrooms located in an enterprise park in Shrewsbury , Shropshire, the birthplace of biologist Charles Darwin and quite close to our base of operations, also in Shropshire. The company were expecting a high-profile visitor to this particular showroom and wished to hire a machine to clean the showroom floor in preparation. Choosing the right cleaning machine It’s a large showroom that is used to display some very prestigious vehicles and so gets a lot of foot fall from customers, not to mention the odd rubber tyre. They also have a garage area where they do servicing, vehicle health checks, MOT’s and repairs however this machine was specifically for the showroom so was unlikely to encounter the heavy soiling you might expect in the garage area. The floors in the showroom itself were mainly Porcelain tiles although the reception and sales desk area was laid with laminate flooring . We therefore...
