G.P. Cleaners have been asked many times for advice by car dealerships & local cleaning contractors on how to overcome the problems created by oil and grease on new and used car garage workshop floors – this not only constitutes a slip and trip hazard, but the dirt can also transfer to the customers vehicle causing a multitude of other cleaning problems.

This usually starts with a site survey and then the implementation of a programme of action.

Firstly G.P. Cleaners suggest the correct machine for the specific floor – this will generally be a scrubber dryer, we can then specify the correct size of machine, when choosing a scrubber drier careful consideration must be taken in selecting the correct scrubbing head; this can either be a disc or roller brush assembly. Another consideration can be the selection of the correct grade of brush or pad driver for the floor. Other deciding factors are the selection of the correct scrub width, tank sizes and battery capacities.

With the use of the correct environmentally friendly detergent and dilution rates, savings are made on chemical costs by eliminating over use, it also reduces waste and the danger of damaging floor finishes, it also does not leave behind slippery detergent residue on the floor.

If all these above factors are implemented correctly - coupled with thorough operator training - oily and greasy workshop floors should become a thing of the past.
