Kaercher Academy Cleaning Tips: Washroom floor cleaning

摘要

Washrooms require particularly careful cleaning to maintain hygiene, health, comtort and image. Because ot the otten warm and damp nature of these areas, bacteria can grow quickly and easily, and cleaning must therefore address visible and non-visible dirt. As a result, aggressive cleaning agents which can damage surface materials often have to be used. Here we focus on effective and safe cleaning of fine stone tiles using a floor scrubber drier with microfibre rollers. The fine stone tile is now a preferred building material in toilet, changing and shower areas, since it has a microporous structure which gives it outstanding slip resistance. In addition, it is especially acid and alkali-resistant and is available in almost any colour and surface structure (sanded, polished, matt, structured or natural). However, as a result of its porous nature, fine stone has the capacity to hold dirt, which is then difficult to remove again. For this reason, fine stone tile floors in washroom areas often have a polymer coating to reduce soiling. Not only does the coating reduce the floor's slip resistance, but it also does not last long in heavily used areas. The cleaning method described below is suitable for coated or uncoated floors. If the coating is to be removed, the following steps can also be taken but with use of a highly active stripping agent (pH 13) instead of the detergents mentioned.
