Floor cleaning tech removes repetition in record time
14 October 2024
I-TEAM GLOBAL has launched the i-walk, a groundbreaking co-bot that redefines cleaning, delivering unmatched efficiency and precision cleaning.
Available from 1 October 2024, i-walk transforms the i-mop XL into a co-botic and cleans up to 300m² with only one minute of set-up time.
It’s a hi-tech enhancement of the i-mop XL, with an automated driving system that takes over the hard work. It has the ability to clean 700m² in just one hour, saving operatives cleaning and setup time.
i-walk can also work for up to four hours due to its extended battery life, cutting down on downtimes.
An eco-friendly system, it uses an advanced recovery system that cuts water usage by 70% and reduces chemical use, making it a greener and more environmentally responsible floor cleaning choice.
The i-walk's suction system ensures surfaces dry quickly, reducing the risk of slips and falls after cleaning. According to I-Team Global, the device benefits cleaning operatives because it frees them from repetitive, time-consuming tasks, which can be strenuous to complete. Instead, they can focus on higher-value work, making their jobs more enjoyable and less physically demanding.
Frank van de Ven, founder and CEO of i-team Global, described the device as: "a game-changer for cleaning companies facing staff shortages."
He continued: “The focus of i-team is dedicated to elevating the role of cleaners, transforming them into respected hospitality professionals, while also reducing the use of water, energy and cleaning detergents.
"Our goal is to shift perceptions about cleaning and those who undertake it. Tools like the i-mop and i-walk are central to this mission. Since its patent in 2014, the i-mop has revolutionised the cleaning industry. i-team continues to lead the market with innovative solutions that integrate high-tech advancements into a traditionally low-tech field.”
