Contract and institutional cleaning

Is there a way to clean floors faster without sacrificing cleaning quality? Do shinier floors really help retailers ring up more sales? How can you iron out the inevitable ups and downs of service costs?

If you’re a contract cleaner or in charge of in-house building maintenance, you’re always looking for the answers to questions like these, and here at Nilfisk-Advance, we consider it our job to help you find them. In fact, some of our most innovative products in recent years have come about in direct response to customer requests.

The answer to that first question, for example, is a resounding yes. One of the world’s leading cleaning companies was looking for a price-competitive way to get hard floors clean at high speed, without compromising quality. Our solution was the NilfiskMop™. Its unique hybrid design combines the speed of a dry mop, plus the cleaning quality of a vacuum in one handy tool. In trials against traditional equipment, it increased cleaning speed by 20% while getting nearly 40% more dust and dirt off the floor. A major gain in productivity.

We also think our responsibility extends to helping our customers satisfy theirs. Take that question about the link between shinier floors and sales. Tests have shown that when supermarkets burnished their floors to a high gloss, sales rose by up to 10%. We’ve just introduced the market’s first ride-on burnisher, a machine that not only gives floors a high gloss, but whose compact size makes it easy to maneuver in narrow supermarket aisles.

But we don’t limit our creativity to products. One of the biggest difficulties many people in the cleaning business have is estimating their equipment service costs. Our comprehensive service programs let you determine your equipment maintenance costs in advance by choosing from four levels of guaranteed service protection.

You probably have questions of your own. Like "How can I vacuum during office hours without disturbing customers and staff?" and "How can a contract cleaner such as myself penetrate a niche like industrial cleaning where profit margins are a little higher?" Simply ask and we’ll do our best to provide the answers.
