A shopping mall is a place where customer comfort is very important, which includes not only an interesting assortment but also aesthetic design and safety. Any dirt brought into the building by shoes causes destruction of the top layer of the floor. Sand and moisture cause abrasion and the surface becomes slippery, creating a hazard. Appropriate protection will be provided by a properly developed and implemented cleaning system.
What to pay attention to when choosing cleaning chemicals
When designing a cleaning system for large-scale facilities, one must not forget about the appropriate selection of chemicals. Improperly selected cleaning agents may not sufficiently remove dirt or damage the surface and may result in our dissatisfaction. Floors in shopping centers, exposed to high pedestrian traffic and dynamic loads (forklift traffic). The dirt we may encounter in such places is diverse (sand, dust, moisture, forklift tire marks, chewing gum). There are also different types of floors, e.g. ceramic tiles, concrete, epoxy resins, terracotta . This requires the use of specialized cleaning products.
It often happens that people are not sufficiently trained in the selection of appropriate cleaning and care products for the substrate. Mistakes then occur, sometimes very costly ones. Professional cleaning products for industrial use are products with special purposes. They have various properties adapted to the dedicated surface. Agents for substrates covered with wood or panels should be used only for this type of surface, because using them on ceramic or polished concrete substrates will not be of much use. Sometimes it can even damage the surface. Especially if we use a tile cleaner when washing panels or varnished wood. As professional products are strictly intended for specific surfaces, they should be used for their intended purpose, as the manufacturer always strictly defines them.
System for cleaning large-scale facilities
In the cleaning system for large-scale facilities, we distinguish between routine cleaning and post-cleaning . During routine cleaning, we use less concentrated products that are safe for every surface and lower concentrations of working solutions. Routine cleaning can be performed even several times a day. This may cause detergent to accumulate on the floor over time. Therefore, a further cleaning process must be carried out. Its purpose is to remove stubborn dirt and accumulated detergent. The Clinex product line includes products – both for routine cleaning – Clinex M6 Medium and Clinex M9 Strong – for further cleaning of floors.
Routine cleaning of floors in large-scale facilities
The Clinex M6 Medium product is safe for all types of surfaces. It has very good wetting properties, leaves a pleasant scent and evaporates quickly from the surface, which is very important when washing frequently and with heavy traffic. It contains polymers that protect the surfaces against rapid re-deposition of dirt and make them easier to keep clean. They give a delicate shine and the natural color is deepened. Polymers fill micro-cracks and the surface becomes smoother, which means it is easy to maintain and more functional.
Thorough cleaning of floors in large-scale facilities
Product for thorough cleaning – Clinex M9 Strong – removes stubborn dirt and accumulated residues of cleaning agents. . It is perfectly suitable for use both in classic floor cleaning with a mop and with a professional electric washer. Depending on the degree of dirt on the surface, it can be used after appropriate dilution with water. By strictly adhering to the proportions given on the packaging, we guarantee the effectiveness of the product. It leaves the floor completely free of dirt and less likely to absorb subsequent dirt. This preparation is a high Ph liquid, so appropriate safety measures are required for its use, such as gloves and protective glasses. Low-foaming and concentrated product.
Polishing
Shining the surface is very important for several reasons. One of them is that such a floor looks really well-kept. This is a key effect to achieve, especially in large shopping malls and stores. There, an unpolished floor looks attractive and indicates the neatness of the place. A polished floor using professional products becomes less slippery, even though it may seem so at first glance. What’s more, new dirt sticks to it much less easily. If it gets dirty, it can be removed using the simplest tools.
If we want a high-gloss floor, the Clinex brand offers a safe product with a very high polymer content. It is Clinex 4Hall – low-foaming, concentrate, removes hard-to-clean dirt and facilitates the ongoing care process.
