Entrance matting system trials
October 1st 2011 According to Host von Shrader's
managing director,Mike Egerton,
80/90% of all soil is tracked into
UK shopping centres and malls
from the outside on shoes.
In trials, a textile/scraper bar
configuration matting system
seemed the best way to scrape
the soles of shoes and extending
the matting between 7 and 9
footfalls achieved the optimum
removal of soil.The problem with
this system was that because it
showed substantial amounts of
trapped soil it no longer worked.
And a problem in the cleaning
process was that it needed to be
done outside hours.
From the trials there were two
steps in the cleaning process. A
twin - counter
rotating vacuum
machine was
used for soil
extraction and
the remaining
cleaning was achieved using the
Host Dry Extraction method.
Because much of the matting
had been restored by vacuuming
and pile lifting,Host was able to
concentrate on the now visibly
soiled areas. Because a dry
extraction method was used,
Host was able to deliver instant
drying times and improve
productivity. Cleaning times More articles from Host Von Schrader: |
