Module 1 Floor care in general 
What is floor care?  1.  Cleaning on a building site: ....after renovation,construction of a building, to remove mortar, varnish, glue etc...before installing a new floor 2.  Inital cleaning/treatment:   .....after a new floor is installed the surface must be prepared and protected for the future 3.  Basic cleaning/stripping:   .....deep cleaning of carpet,- vinyl,- lino,- stone floors to remove dirt, coatings. .....made once, twice a year or in longer periods 4.  Daily maintenance:   .....regular cleaning like scrubbing, spray cleaning... 5.  Intermediate cleaning:   .....is a deeper cleaning process to improve again the shine and look  .....used to postpone basic cleaning/ stripping 6.  Spot cleaning:   .....is used to remove local heel marks in the entrance area, or dirty spots to keep a general good floor appearance

Scrubber dryers – key comparison points 1. With cable With batteries 3. With user behind (walk-behind machine) With user on board (ride-on machine) 4.  With flat scrubbing system (brush or pad) With cylindrical scrubbing system (brush) 2. With brush traction With traction motor 
Cable vs Batteries scrubbers  Cable Batteries Lower weight Higher practical productivity rate Higher brush pressure No electrical source necessary More powerful vacuum motor More comfortable to operate Unlimited  running time Less noisy
Brush traction vs traction scrubbers On small scrubbers, the brush rotation helps the operator in pushing the scrubber/dryer (single brush only) On medium/large scrubbers wheels with traction propels the scrubber/dryer Traction – Potentiometer on the control panel Non traction – brush rotation 
Walk-behind vs Ride-on A ride-on scrubber, if compared to a walk-behind one, allows: Higher working forward speed Better maneuverability Better visibility Better ergonomy Higher productivity Labor savings 
If comparing walk-behind and ride-on machines of similar tank capacities and scrubbing widths, the size of the machine is the same. However, on a ride-on, the absence of the operator at the back of the machine allows the scrubber to be overall more compact than a walk-behind scrubber Walk-behind vs Ride-on Walk-behind scrubbers: +50 cm operator’s position 

Tenside - action Reduces the surface tension of water Attracts dirt such as: oils, greasy substances, waxes etc. Forms an emulsion with water The slurry can be picked up Water molecules tend to be round. Only by adding tensides can dirt be removed Water reaction to dirt  without  tensides: Reduced surface tension with  tensides = better vacuuming 
Tensides on a natural basis Natural   fat   (from animals, plants) + Alkalins with pH 14   (saponifies fat) Soap  pH 11-13   (soft soap) 
Tensides on a natural basis PROS + very good cleaning + biological spillt up +  can be polished with a high speed machine CONS - high pH index (11-13) - attacks human skin - attacks various materials  (linoleum, marble, travertine, elastomer floors) - reacts with lime in lime soap   (saponification) - Makes floor slippery  if too much soap cleaner is used - Causes black joints in ceramic floors etc. 
Synthetic tensides PROS = less sensitive against hard water  = different cleaning result CONS = biological spillt up 

Alcoholic detergents pH-value 6,0-9,0 Dilution mostly  0,5% to 0,25% For all  stone and  tile floors Dries without stripes Do not use hot water When concentration is too high, polymere coatings get damaged No disinfective effects Natural stones do not get dark Less cleaning effect than an all-purpose detergent 
All-purpose detergents   (neutral detergents) Ingredients:   -tensides -water -complexing agents -colours and flavours -conserving agents  With pH-value 7   = neutral detergent Dilution: mostly  1:100 to 1:200 pH-value 6-10 For oily, greasy dirt, soilage from the street, drink stains Offers better cleaning than alcoholic detergents Surfaces and joints may become dark To be recommended economically/ecologically 
Sanitary detergents Ingredients: -acids -inhibitors  (to prevent corrosion) -tensides -flavours -solvents (sometimes) Dilution mostly  1:100 pH-value <4 Remove: -lime, lime soap -cement film -Uric stone, skin grease -rosty spots Do not use on floors sensitive to acids, e.g. marble, terrazzo etc. 

He has 5 loading bays for trucks. He stores all sort of merchandise. Non-food only. The floor is coated concrete as in the picture. All other equipment is electrical. There are no parted sections in the warehouse. All doors and gates are big enough for his fork lifts top pass through. He has one office in one end of the building for 4 employees plus his own office. They are carpeted. The aisles between his shelves are typically 1.5m wide, many of them are only open from one end. Goods are typically stored on standard pallets. Outside there is an area for employee parking in connection with the loading bays. The ground outside is paved with concrete slaps. All paved areas are open, rectangular to allow free passage for the trucks.
