Hospitality, shopping facilities and travel

In the case of hotels and shopping facilities, there is a strong argument for the deployment of all models across the range - with the R20 capable of handling smaller, more defined areas right through to the R60's capacity to handle major concourses, ballrooms and conference areas. The R20 or R30 are both ideal choices for regular use in the washrooms of large shopping malls to maintain a high standard of hygiene.

The application for the use of our products in travel-related locations is many and varied. Terminal buildings around the world are high traffic areas with a multiplicity of floor surfaces and most areas in these buildings are ideal for Rotowash.

The majority of large shopping areas and airport terminals would also have a number of escalators and travelators and the R45B ESC & R60B ESC machines can be used on these as well as other floor surfaces.

The R20 is especially well suited for use in confined areas and the spot cleaning of aircraft, trains, cruise ships and ferries. The product is extremely adaptable and may be used on all types of flooring surfaces including carpets, non-slip flooring, aluminium decking, timber floors, and bathroom and sports surfaces.

Regardless of the size of the area to be cleaned, or the floor surface involved, Rotowash has a machine that is ideal for the task.

Hospitals, medical centres and care home facilities

Hygiene is of great importance, and is critical within the health industry. With its contra-rotating brushes, Rotowash R20 through to R60 can spotlessly clean the tiled areas of washrooms and reception areas. Our machines are ideal for spillages and cleaning up after cases of incontinence in Nursing Homes.

When 'Flotex' is used as a floor covering, Rotowash is an ideal machine to maintain cleanliness and appearance. Since 'Flotex' is a flocked vinyl floor covering, and is totally waterproof, Rotowash, can enable it to keep its sparkle simply and effortlessly simply by using cold water.

There will be areas that use non-slip and safety flooring which can prove to be dirt-traps, but by regular use of Rotowash, standards of hygiene and appearance can be maintained to an extremely high standard.

Leisure areas and shopping malls

Leisure areas such as gymnasiums, swimming centres, bowling alleys and other indoor sporting centres have areas that can benefit from the use of the full range of Rotowash products.

The R20 and R30 are the machines of choice for washrooms and shower areas, while the larger R45 and R60 series are being used on specialist sport and non slip surfaces.

Educational facilities

Schools, universities, colleges, kindergartens and child care centres have in common a huge variety of floor finishes including sports surfaces, carpets, Flotex, timber tiles and concrete - all of which can be maintained by the Rotowash range of products. Larger institutions will also have kitchen, canteen and bar facilities which require special care since heath and safety issues are involved.

The sporting areas will have large areas of change-room and shower facilities. A major health concern in these areas is the transmission of fungal diseases such as 'athlete's foot'. The normal method of mop and bucket will not successfully clean and disinfect these areas - indeed, this form of cleaning is inherently unhealthy. Rotowash has the ability to scrub in between the tiles - thus removing the possibility of potential infection.

The Rotowash R20 can be a significant asset to childcare centres; both in maintaining hygiene and appearance in internal play areas. When children play on floor areas, and hands are in contact with mouths on a regular basis, it is essential that accidents, food and drink spillages be cleaned away efficiently and effectively. Cross infection, the spread of germs through flies and cockroaches are minimised if adequate care is taken with cleaning methods - Rotowash can help to deal with these problems in an extremely effective way.

The Food Industry

Rotowash floor cleaning systems are well suited to all facets of the food manufacturing, processing and food preparation industries. The entire range is designed to scrub and hygienically clean all types of floor surface including ceramic tiles, non-slip rubber, stone, metal and even commercial grade carpets. Research and feedback from users indicates that Rotowash will use up to 90% less water than other cleaning methods.

Applications in the food industry include fast food outlets, restaurants, supermarkets, food halls and food preparation factories.

The requirements for hygiene in the above facilities place an onerous burden on owners and managers of premises, and the implications for non conformance are severe. The need for clean floors of all types is considerable, and Rotowash offers highly effective solutions for all food preparation and service areas.

There is a proliferation of fast food outlets - both large and small, and many are franchised operations. The majority have deep fryers - with fat and grease and sugar being transferred onto floor surfaces. The vast majority of these outlets have tiled floors in both the kitchens and public areas. In most cases, the grouting is a dark colour - but is it really clean? The tiled areas can only be successfully cleaned with a Rotowash since our equipment has the ability to scrub, lift and remove dirt in a consistently effective manner.

Some outlets have a variety of floor coverings. Rotowash, with its flexible machine and brush options, can handle all surface types without difficulty. By using Rotowash you can expect to cut down on their cleaning time and benefit from improved appearance and hygiene.

Rotowash's extensive range offers significant health and safety benefits to the food industry including interchangeable, colour coded brushes to avoid cross contamination, machines that are highly manoeuvrable and easy to operate (especially in confined spaces and around plant and equipment) and accessories which are easy to detach and sterilise.

Many supermarkets are installing 'Flotex' in some areas; many will also have Pirelli type non-slip dimple flooring around vegetable and meat areas. Rotowash has the ability to maintain these areas in a sanitary and effective manner.

The Food Industry is, in essence, a benchmark since it demands Best Practice solutions in order to ensure the highest standards of health, safety and hygiene in the public interest. Rotowash prides itself on providing clients in this highly demanding industry with machines of incomparable quality and effectiveness.
