Solutions for cleaning
that makes an impact
Hot-water pressure washers
Reduce or eliminate contaminants with a combination of high temperatures and powerful chemicals.
Our pressure washers get your jobs done quickly, using less water and detergent, with high boiler efficiency and durable design. Use steaming modes for temperatures exceeding 100˚C, and a range of accessories to improve your task flexibility.
Steamers
Clean and disinfect to an extent beyond that of typical cleaning methods with dry-steam equipment.
Our machines make it easier to provide a fully sanitized work environment with steam that deep-cleans and eliminates contaminants. Quickly handle areas that would be otherwise unreachable – with fast-drying results that leave spaces ready for use almost immediately after.
Floorcare machines
Ensure that floors are clear of dust and dirt, both of which spread viruses if left uncontrolled.
Our floorcare solutions give you industry-leading performance and efficiency with optimized detergent-mixing and water flow-management systems. The result is cleaner, safer, and more hygienic flooring across our entire portfolio – at a lower resource cost.
Autonomous
It’s easier for you to focus on thorough, detailed cleaning with an autonomous machine handling the floors.
Our solutions pair proven technology with programmable intelligence to give you peace of mind – and the ability to focus on important tasks – while they clean independently. Leave every area of every space clean, and ready for safe use.
Vacuums
Keep air quality at its highest, minimizing dust and debris while also ensuring safe hazard-disposal.
Our HEPA- and ULPA-filter vacuums enable you to reach – and sustain – higher levels of cleanliness and air quality on a daily basis. They leverage top-tier performance, large capacity, and secure containment to safeguard against airborne risks.
Parts & Service
Maintaining your equipment is important at the best of times, but now it’s critical.

FAQ
Do you have questions?
What cleaning protocol should I follow to prevent COVID-19 in my facility?
The current recommended protocol from CDC for preventing COVID-19 is regular cleaning followed by disinfection (see below).
What cleaning equipment will help me clean most effectively?
Floor scrubbers that dispense chemical disinfectants and hot water pressure washers that can heat water in excess of 100˚C (212˚F) will help you and your staff clean floors and other surfaces quickly and effectively so you can spend more time on cleaning tasks that require more elbow work.
What is the appropriate way to clean a site visited by a person diagnosed/suspected of having COVID-19?
You should always follow the guidelines provided by your local authorities. These will typically include cleaning and disinfecting the facility thoroughly. For instance,he U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides recommendations for cleaning non-healthcare community facilities with suspected/confirmed cases of COVID-19. For infection prevention and control recommendations for healthcare facilities, see here.
For all matters please ensure to always read and follow applicable national, regional, state and/or local guidance.
How can I protect my cleaning team during cleaning?
If your team is cleaning in areas, where they can potentially be exposed to people with COVID-19, you need to take the necessary safety precautions recommended by local authorities. As an example, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that they wear disposable gloves and gowns to perform all cleaning tasks and that they should wash their hands often.
Please ensure to always read and follow applicable national, regional, state and/or local guidance.
How can I educate and support my cleaning team to stay healthy and safe and at the same time reach the desired level of cleanliness?
Make sure they’re informed and are taking appropriate precautions to protect themselves, not just on the job but in all aspects of their lives. The World Health Organization provides a variety of resources to educate the public on the measures we should all take to stay safe and to avoid the virus spreading
To ensure the desired level of cleanliness, provide online training on proper cleaning protocols for eliminating coronavirus (see above) and on how to use all cleaning equipment. Consider implementing pre- and post-shift check-ins with your cleaning staff to address any questions or concerns.
For all matters please ensure to always read and follow applicable national, regional, state and/or local guidance.
Where can I find more information?
Please, always read and follow applicable national, regional, state and/or local guidance.
What chemicals should I use in the machine? Can I use bleach?
You should always follow the guidelines provided by your local authorities and make sure the detergent you use is approved for scrubber dryers.
We do not recommend using bleach because it may damage both the equipment and the floor.
Can I use a scrubber dryer to disinfect my floors?
No. Most disinfectants require a dwell time of up to 10 minutes, which is longer than the contact time during scrubbing. The job of the scrubber dryer is to clean the floor thoroughly so you can then disinfect as needed.
Can I use hot water in my scrubber dryer?
No. You should not put water hotter than 40°C into the tank. While the virus that causes COVID-19 is known to be sensitive to temperatures above 56°C, killing the virus via high temperature also requires an extended dwell time (at least 30 minutes).
Does a scrubber dryer need a HEPA filter to keep contaminants from re-entering the air via exhaust from the suction motor?
No. While HEPA filters keep contaminants contained during dry vacuuming, they aren’t necessary for wet applications because the particles bind with the water and are not exhausted back into the environment. Our scrubber dryers are widely used without HEPA filters in the cleanroom industry, which has strict requirements concerning the number of particles allowed in the air.
