What Detergent to Use With a Scrubber Drier?

Maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is crucial, whether it’s in a commercial establishment, municipal building or industrial facility, and this often requires a scrubber drier. A floor cleaning machine that keeps surfaces free from dirt and dust with the right detergent solution put into it. However, to maximise the effectiveness of a scrubber drier, it is essential to choose the right solutions for the task at hand.

However, navigating the vast array of cleaning chemicals available can be daunting. From detergents and degreasers to disinfectants and descalers, each chemical serves a specific purpose and must be carefully chosen based on the situation and surface. Using the wrong chemical can damage surfaces or yield subpar cleaning results.

In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the various chemicals that can enhance your floor-cleaning machine’s performance. After all, the right chemical solutions not only aid in removing stubborn dirt, grime, and stains but also assist in disinfecting surfaces, leaving them sanitised and safe for use.

For Everyday Cleaning: Defoam

Firstly, we have the standard unscented Defoam disinfectant, which is the solution for most everyday cleaning. Polyclean solutions can also be used in the same way.

 

For Oil Removal: CityClean O

Certain chemicals are used for specific types of dirt on the floor. CityClean O is great for oil removal because of its high-alkaline formula.

 

For Unpleasant Odours: Cleanol Smell X

During the cleaning process, your scrubber-drier may develop an unpleasant smell inside the tank supply over time. Be sure to check on the cleanliness of the machine itself as well as what you’re cleaning and use Cleanol Smell X to neutralise the scent from the inside.

 

For Heavy-Duty Cleaning: Cleanol HD

Some situations call for a heavy-duty, high-alkaline chemical formula that starts a deep clean on resistant concrete and industrial floors. Cleanol HD is designed for this and is one of the market leaders, only for use on the toughest of surfaces such as industrial dirt, grease and oil.

 

For Water-Resistant Floors: Polyclean

Water-resistant floor types such as those used in commercial and retail settings require a specialised chemical detergent, which Polyclean excels.

 

For Hard Floors: Polyclean SE

Polyclean SE is ideal for hard floors such as PVC, lino flooring and natural stone, making it shine without affecting the top coating. For the more heavy-duty option for hard floors, use Cleanol S.

 

For Sports Flooring: Cleanol Sport

Sports flooring is tricky to clean because most chemicals remove the slip resistance of the protective coating. Cleanol Sport tackle sports flooring while actively improving the slip resistance, as well as deodorising the surface.

 

For Micro-Porous Floors: Cleanol K

Stains on micro-porous floors such as marble, unglazed ceramic and anti-slip tiles need to be tackled by allowing the detergent to enter the pores of the floor’s surface by reducing its viscosity. Cleanol K does this with its reduced viscosity, making cleaning these otherwise difficult cleans a breeze.
