central point for collect with a absorbent mop.

Slips and falls in the food preparation area are mainly caused by wet patches on floor, greasy surfaces or a buildup of large particles such as salt or other large particles on the floor.

7. How many different types of mops do I need to meet all the cleaning challenges of a busy Supermarket or shop floor?
Vikan has developed special multi-purpose (Vikan Rapid Clean Damp 43 589640) mop to meet all the following cleaning requirements.
- To be able to quickly absorb & clean up spillages
- To be able to spot clean without leaving the floor wet* and so reducing the risks of slips and falls
- In the case of periodic deep cleaning of the shop floor this mop can be use to evenly spread the required amount layer of chemical that needs some time to work or later.
- This mop if used daily will reduce the buildup of dirt in hard to get to areas such as the grots in-between tiles or around the bases of shelving units that are permanently fix to the floor.. *When correctly dosed a normal restaurant tiled floor cleaned with Vikan damp microfibre mops would dry within a 1½ minute. (this can also vary in relation to the humidity and floor type).
8. How can I neatly store Vikan cleaning equipment?
Vikan has developed 2 solutions especially for the busy retail environment.
- The first solution is the Silm-liner (580410) which is an extremely thin portable & flexible cleaning centre. That can be quickly moved be used in the shopping area when needed and can carry all your cleaning needs such as prepared mops cloths handles chemicals (if required) paper towels etc. Yet due to the fact it I so slim (under 40cm) it can still be almost latently stored on the shop floor area.
- For those that do require a portable solution on the shop floor we have made the same flexible cleaning centre, (580510) but to hang on the wall, so that all mops, cloths and cleaning tools are stored in the one place, and all staff members know where to find them.
