Still going strong

Duty manager Jess Denning said: "We get the Duplex floor cleaner out for the bigger jobs when we know the floor has got a little too dirty for other machines as it will clean the carpets and bring the pile back to life." 

In addition to the main social club, Wythall Community Association has another two function rooms which are available for hire by club members and also the public where they have been serving the community for 50 years.

Jess hopes to have many more years use out of the machine, which is maintained under a Preventative Maintenance Agreement providing a regular service plan. She says that the machine is light to use even on heavy stains and effective on any flooring. Jess thinks that the machine’s consistent performance could be due to having it properly serviced and maintained on a regular basis by Duplex engineers.
