Although efficiency and safety are the main objectives in industry today, with sales targets and profit margins often being prioritised, one of the most important factors is sometimes sorely neglected – industrial floorcare.

Beneath the discordance of productivity to achieve these objectives lies a foundation that impacts everything from employee well-being to operational excellence – industrial floorcare. All the forecasts and profit projections that may seem on track could be in jeopardy if this area of sanitation is not managed efficiently.

Engaging Different Audiences: Tailoring the Message of Efficient Industrial Floorcare

Whether you are a seasoned facility manager, a safety-conscious professional in the industrial sector, or an owner of a factory in the food and beverage industry, understanding the role of efficient industrial floorcare is essential. It is not just about pavement appeal and aesthetics, it is about elevating workplace safety, employee hygiene and happiness, facility sanitation, and the overall productivity and profitability of the company.

At Pescatech, we understand that the importance of industrial floorcare may vary from person to person and for different reasons. Today, we will explore a few of the different audiences that may need clean factory floors and why and unveil our revolutionary cleaning solutions to satisfy all the required objectives, for example:

• For the Industrial Professional: Regularly cleaning and maintaining factory floors prolongs the lifespan of these surfaces. If irreparably damaged, the entire surface may need replacing. Replacing factory floors can be a costly exercise. Areas need to be shut down. Downtime might affect productivity and possibly product quality, and it could lead to severe consequential losses.
• Facility Managers: Clean and well-maintained floors help prevent slips, trips, and falls, which could lead to expensive medical bills, loss of productivity, and unhappy workers. Additionally, uneven floors or insufficient drainage could lead to damaged equipment and expensive repairs. Streamlined cleaning schedules and efficient drainage solutions may improve floor life, prevent pooling, and enhance building aesthetics, which leads to happier, healthier, more productive employees.
• F&B and Related Industries: Cross-contamination is arguably one of the greatest fears for owners in the F&B sector. Unsanitary floors could lead to foodborne illnesses or product contamination, which could lead to product recalls with catastrophic consequences. Custom floorcare solutions like Vikan’s superior-quality, colour-coded cleaning equipment help prevent these scenarios.

The Power of Prevention: Proactive Strategies for Safety and Cleanliness

South Africans, by nature, are a reactive nation, often installing burglar bars after a break-in, for example. However, industrial floorcare is not just about responding to messes, it is about initiating preventative measures before they occur. By implementing proactive strategies, you can create a cleaner, safer, and more productive work environment. These strategies include:

• Identifying high-traffic areas and tailoring cleaning schedules accordingly.
• Using spill containment mats where applicable and installing proper drainage systems.
• Implementing regular floor inspections and preventative maintenance for equipment.

Investing in Excellence: Choosing the Right Floorcare Solutions

Partnering with experts and renowned suppliers is crucial when it comes to industrial floorcare. Do your research and look for companies that offer:

• Comprehensive needs assessments and customised cleaning solutions
• Superior-quality equipment, cleaning products, and advice
• Training and support to ensure proper use and maintenance

Specialised Industrial Floorcare Solutions is a Team Effort

Comprehensive industrial floorcare cannot be put down to one piece of equipment. Rather, it is a combination of many tools and instruments. It is a sophisticated world, boasting an arsenal of cleaning equipment and techniques tailored to specific applications and needs. From automated and ride-on heavy-duty scrubbers that conquer large factory floor areas to dust-control systems that ensure pristine air quality, the right approach can transform floors from potential occupational health hazards to gleaming beacons of productivity and efficiency.

That said, when it comes to industrial floorcare, the finer details and picture-perfect finishes will never be achieved without the trusty janitorial staff and their armoury of mops, scoops, buckets, brushes, and brooms. These knights and their ever-faithful grooms ensure that every nook and cranny, where sophisticated cleaning equipment cannot reach, is left hygienically clean, sanitised, and sparklingly fresh.
