As we get ready for the "New Normal", it is of utmost importance to reassure your customers, guests and staff that hygiene protocols are put in place and are consistently implemented. According to McKinsey & Company's COVID-19 Consumer Pulse surveys, conducted globally between 15 and 21 June 2020, consumers want to see visible signs of cleaning and barriers when shopping in store.
The Diversey Shields are designed not only to effectively communicate, but also to help you make sure that your protocols surrounding enhanced cleaning and disinfection, infection prevention, and food safety are in line with World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (eCDC) and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) guidance, and are monitored by Diversey® and Diversey Consulting™ experts.
The Diversey Shield Program is implemented in four stages, starting from documents, products and tools through to completing an on-site verification audit. A Diversey representative helps complete requirements prior to the first audit. As per agreed timelines, the audit is conducted on Diversey iMAP, following which the discussion on the results and corrective actions is done. If required, a confirmation audit is done within a month.
This service is designed to elevate the quality of service, safety and care for guests and employees. Our solutions integrate products, processes, training and measurement systems to reduce risk, improve results and lower overall cost.
Once audits are cleared, a Diversey Shield kit is awarded to a property. This consists of a certificate that authorises a property to display Diversey Shields at the necessary locations.
If one takes floors, walls, ceilings, racks, aisles and exteriors into account, the effective area to be cleaned in even a medium-sized warehouse will easily cross over one lakh square feet. Kiran Rao, Business Director, Building Care, Diversey India Hygiene Pvt Ltd, writes about how to assess a warehouse's cleaning needs, the challenges therein, and what equipment and chemicals should be used to overcome them.
Warehouse audit methodology is used to survey site specifications such as interiors, exterior, washroom, food court, periphery and high-touch point locations. Based on the area specifics, we assess further details such as:
Selection of compatible and right cleaning agents based on floor type is important to ensure floors are safe after usage, without damaging them. For example, Taski Spiral is a scientifically blended liquid detergent for cleaning floors and oily or greasy work areas.
Amongst cleaning equipment, auto scrubber-driers ensure powerful cleaning and drying results with no streak marks and prevent slippage after usage. Taski's patented Intelliflow system always ensures the right amount of cleaning solution on the floor and leads to significant water savings.
Spray and wipe application: microfibre dusters absorb five times their own weight, and can be used in both dry and wet application — for example, for high touch point area disinfection.
Manual or mechanised sweeper machines: these work on the overthrow principle, and ensure there is no residual dust flying. A bulk waste flap installed in front of the brush helps pick up bulkier debris.
Manoeuvrability between the racks and stacks poses a challenge during cleaning operations. It can be addressed through mechanised cleaning with micro ride-on scrubber-driers, mini walk-behind auto scrubber-driers, and sweeping application with walk-behind machines.
Taski Swingo 2100 micro ride-on scrubber-driers can manoeuvre through narrow lanes. They are an excellent option in congested areas due to their speed, small footprint, agility and large tank size. Taski Swingo 455 E is a walk-behind auto scrubber for narrow alleys and small areas.
Kobra is an efficient walk-behind sweeper ideal for medium sized areas, with greater manoeuvrability and ergonomics.
This is challenging because of the placement and array of SKUs. It can be addressed by vacuuming with a backpack vacuum cleaner, such as the battery operated Taski Aero BP, which gives excellent dry cleaning performance, a crevice nozzle, and a dusting brush which can be carried with machines to complete multiple jobs at the same time. It meets EHS compliance and the backpack weighs less than 6kg.
In case the area to be cleaned is not accessible with these machines, microfibre-based dusters with damp or dry application are recommended.
Clean any high surface area first as the debris will fall to a lower level. Dust levels are usually high in lower areas. High areas that require cleaning in warehouses include heating and cooling ducts, tops of pallets, racks, windows and frames. Diversey telescopic poles can be used up to an 11 metre height with required accessories.
Machine recommendations may not vary much based on the type of warehouse. The cleaning agent shall vary, depending upon the type of soil or floors. For example, pharma warehouses need a different medical-grade cleaning reagent, while agro-based warehouses should use food-grade agents without any fragrance. E-commerce sites use neutral cleaner or alkaline agents.
Mechanised sweepers such as the Rider 1201 battery operated sweeper or the Picobello manual sweeper are recommended where soils are dry or loose, and when wet application is not preferred. For peripheral areas, normal sweeping with a manual or mechanical sweeper is feasible. High pressure jets like the Danubio 150 Bar high pressure water jet machine are also used to remove stubborn stains.
Diversey, a Solenis Company, has announced at a recent press conference its venture into the water treatment segment, alongside increasing its foothold in the cleaning and hygiene sector and a focus on innovation and sustainability to drive this growth plan.
Addressing the media, John Panichella, CEO, Solenis, said that globally an increasing growth trend is visible across four key parameters — water treatment, infection prevention, protection of food supply, and fibre-based packaging solutions — and that Solenis is set to capitalise on these trends with targeted initiatives.
"Solenis' priority for India in the next three to five years is to achieve a higher double-digit growth. This ambitious growth will be achieved through timely investments in R&D, new manufacturing plants, and key acquisitions," he said. "We expect that our expertise in fibre-based packaging solutions and opportunities in coating will play a significant role in driving the growth in India and globally."
Somer Gundogdu, President of Emerging Markets and TASKI, stated: "Amongst the emerging markets, India is one of the important markets for us where we have a differentiated market position. Adding to the growth trajectory is the expanding Indian economy, which will pave the way for us to scale the business significantly."
On the plans for launching new products in 2024, Brijesh Rathore, Vice President, South Asia (Diversey Institutional) and Global Strategic Accounts APAC, said: "With the fast-developing IT sector, there is a requirement for special floor cleaning chemicals, which is being developed by us."
"Solenis, about an $8 billion company, is driving to achieve 25 to 30% of its sales from new products less than five years old. We are investing in R&D at our global centres to drive technologies that solve customers' problems. This is our goal," added John.
"We are going to launch a new technology into this market. It is a concentrated liquid in a dissolvable pouch that can be dropped into a spray bottle — shake it, it dissolves and is ready to use. This one container can be used multiple times," he explained. This eliminates transportation challenges and large storage space requirements.
While hospitality will be the focus segment for Diversey, "the sector we are very excited about is healthcare. We are developing solutions to meet the needs of this sector," said Brijesh.
Emphasising the need to study hospital-acquired infection (HAI), Brijesh elaborated that HAI figures in India could vary from 7% to 88%. "This 88% who acquire infection at the hospital is the area we are focussing on, given our global expertise."
The plans are strong to pursue the "Presumer" vertical, focusing on enhancing asset life and the health of occupants.
"The biggest area where we have a very strong presence is the building service contractors, which is fast growing. With the manufacturing segments fast increasing in India, outsourcing to BSCs will increase too. This is another focus area for us," added Brijesh.
Brijesh also elaborated on India's growth story, emphasising Diversey's dedication to giving back to communities through initiatives like GARIMA, a skill development programme, and sustainability initiatives such as Soap for Hope™ and Linens for Life™, which repurpose discarded soaps and linen to reduce the carbon footprint and promote hygiene.
Pools are nowadays a desired amenity in housing societies and an attraction for health and wellness at luxury hotels. Samit Choudhary, National Head of Diversey Solenis, writes about keeping and maintaining swimming pools clean and free from dangerous bacteria.
However, pool maintenance has been a tough and complex job as many of the factors involved are dynamic in nature. Weather conditions, different types of users, the chances of chemical imbalance and the need for regular monitoring of water parameters all add to the complexity.
As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, the chlorine level has to be maintained between 1–4ppm (parts per million) and the pH in the neutral range of 7–8.
Manual treatment of pool water and a lack of available technology in automation and specialty chemistry has held the industry back from managing pool facilities to the right standards.
The most common cause of pool-related outbreaks is Cryptosporidium (Crypto), a chlorine-resistant parasite. Other causes include Legionella and Pseudomonas, bacteria that can cause illnesses such as Legionnaires' disease and hot tub rash.
Between 2015 and 2019, the CDC reported 208 outbreaks linked to recreational water venues. These outbreaks resulted in over 3,600 cases of illness and 13 deaths during this period.
Diversey Solenis brings its globally successful Intellipool programme to India. Intellipool is an intelligent platform which works on sensing, detecting and acting in tandem with specialty chemicals. The system can adapt to the changing dimensions of weather, microbial load and pollution, and act with precision.
Redefining hygiene through smart innovation
Washroom hygiene only works when the dispenser, the paper and the chemistry are considered together. Diversey brings its professional cleaning and disinfection systems alongside Tork — Essity’s smart dispensing, wiper and paper towel range — and Soft Care, its own skin and hand hygiene line. Deployed together they cover the washroom end to end, from surface cleaning through to the hand wash and the towel that follows it.
Surface cleaning, hand hygiene, dispensing and paper handled as one system rather than four separate purchases that have to be made to work together on site.
Soft Care covers alcohol rubs with added moisturisers, perfume-free antimicrobial washes and general-purpose soaps — because hands washed dozens of times a shift need different chemistry from a surface.
Tork dispensing systems control consumption per use, which reduces waste and refill labour while keeping units stocked through peak footfall.
A washroom fails on the weakest link. Spotless surfaces mean little if the soap dries out hands until staff stop washing them, and the best hand wash in the world is wasted if the dispenser is empty by mid-afternoon. Pairing Diversey’s cleaning systems with Tork dispensing and Soft Care skin care closes that gap — each brand covering the part of the chain it is strongest at.
Commercial cleaning, sanitation and hygiene technologies for hospitality, healthcare and food service — the surface and system layer of the washroom.
Washroom dispensing systems, industrial wipers, paper towels and napkins from Essity, controlling consumption per use and cutting refill labour.
Professional hand washes, alcohol rubs and shower gels, formulated so repeated daily use protects skin rather than stripping it.

Diversey’s Professional Cleaning portfolio, spanning CREW, Sumabrite and Soft Care, is specially formulated to simplify professional cleaning challenges across every space.
Explore the Range →Des E / Des E Extra are alcohol-based rubs for waterless disinfection, with moisturisers added because alcohol otherwise dries skin fast. Plus H41 is antimicrobial and perfume-free, which is what makes it appropriate for food service and healthcare. Enhance and Star are scented general-purpose soaps for public buildings and offices.
The perfume-free point matters more than it sounds: fragrance is a contamination risk near food and an irritant risk in clinical settings.
Because the dispenser and the liquid are one system, not two purchases. Portable wiping systems and roll dispensers are designed to combine Tork paper products with Diversey cleaning and disinfecting liquids in a single unit.
Bought separately you tend to end up with dispensers that do not fit the refills, or refills nobody reorders because they sit outside the main hygiene contract.
No. Alcohol rubs are for waterless disinfection between washes — useful where a basin is not to hand or where speed matters between tasks.
Where hands are visibly soiled, or after food handling, a hand wash is still required. Most sites run both: dispensers at the basin and rubs at entry points and workstations.
That is the specific problem the Soft Care range is built around. The line spans washes, rubs and shower gels formulated for repeated professional use, with moisturisers included in the alcohol products.
It matters operationally as well as personally: when soap is harsh, compliance drops, and hand hygiene protocols only work if people actually follow them through a full shift.
Controlled dispensing limits how much product leaves the unit per use, which cuts both consumption and the waste that comes from over-dispensing.
The second saving is labour. Fewer refill visits per week across a large site adds up quickly, and units are far less likely to run dry during peak footfall.
Yes. Diversey and Tork are jointly deployed in commercial spaces to manage end-to-end surface cleaning and personal hand hygiene, so the same system extends to kitchens, wards, production areas and back-of-house.
Industrial wipers and paper towels sit alongside the washroom range for exactly that reason.
Dispenser count, refill frequency and the right Soft Care variant all depend on footfall and the type of site, so a walkthrough gives a far more useful answer than a price list.
Use the Book a Demo button above and the Diversey team can survey your washrooms, recommend dispensing and skin care to match, and advise on refill scheduling.
Professional cleaning across every space
Diversey’s Professional Cleaning portfolio divides industrial-strength performance into three dedicated tiers, so every zone of a facility is covered by a formulation built for it: CREW for housekeeping and facility care, Sumabrite for commercial kitchen care, and Soft Care for personal hygiene and skin protection. One portfolio, one supplier, and a consistent standard from the lobby through to the kitchen and the washroom.
Housekeeping, kitchen and personal care are handled by formulations built for each, rather than one general-purpose product stretched across jobs it was not designed for.
Multi-purpose concentrates such as the Sumabrite 4-in-1 All Rounder cover several tasks from one pack, cutting both cost per litre and the number of SKUs a store room has to carry.
Built for commercial duty cycles — heavy grease, high-touch surfaces and repeated daily use — with material compatibility considered for stainless steel and aluminium.
Most facilities buy general-purpose cleaner and then discover it is wrong for half the building — too harsh for hands, too mild for a fryer hood. Diversey splits the portfolio along the lines the work actually divides on, so a housekeeping trolley, a kitchen store and a washroom dispenser each carry the chemistry suited to them.
Neutral all-purpose cleaners, marble polishes, furniture maintainers, stainless steel cleaners and toilet bowl disinfectants for lobbies, guest rooms and high-touch surfaces.
Engineered for heavy grease, food soils and carbon deposits, including 4-in-1 concentrates that handle dishwashing, degreasing and floor or slab washing from one pack.
Mild hand washes, nourishing skin cleansers and body care for restrooms, employee handwash stations and guest bathrooms — built around skin protection.

Explore the Range →Diversey’s Tork and SoftCare Touch range redefines washroom hygiene through smart, sustainable dispensing innovation built for safer, more efficient facilities.
Explore the Range →The split follows the work: CREW for housekeeping and facility care — lobbies, guest rooms, floors, washroom surfaces and high-touch points. Sumabrite for anything behind the kitchen door. Soft Care for hands and skin.
In practice a hotel will carry all three; a standalone office may only need CREW and Soft Care.
You can, but it usually costs more than it saves. A neutral all-purpose cleaner will not shift carbon deposits off a grill, and a kitchen degreaser is far too aggressive for repeated hand contact or a polished marble lobby floor.
The tiered approach exists because using the wrong chemistry either fails the job or damages the surface — and both end up more expensive than stocking the right product.
It is a 4-in-1 concentrate covering dishwashing, degreasing and floor or slab washing from a single pack. For a small kitchen that can mean one SKU in the store room instead of three or four.
It is formulated to be safe on stainless steel and aluminium, which is what makes it usable across both equipment and surfaces in the same area.
The Sumabrite range is tailored for restaurant kitchens and catering facilities, where stainless steel and aluminium are the dominant surfaces, and material compatibility is built into the formulations.
As with any professional chemical, follow the dilution stated on the pack and test on an inconspicuous area when introducing a product to an unfamiliar surface.
Yes — that is what it is designed for. The focus is skin-friendly personal hygiene rather than maximum cleaning strength, which matters when the same hands are washed dozens of times across a shift.
The range covers mild liquid hand washes, nourishing skin cleansers and hygienic body care, placed at commercial restrooms, employee handwash stations and guest bathrooms.
Much of the range is supplied as concentrate, which is where the cost saving sits: you pay for chemistry rather than water and freight, and dilute on site to the task.
Because concentrates only deliver that saving when dosed correctly, it is worth agreeing dilution ratios and training housekeeping staff at the point of switching over.
The right answer depends on your surface mix, kitchen load and washroom footfall, so a walkthrough is more useful than a quote against a list.
Use the Book a Demo button above and the Diversey team can review your zones, recommend the tiers and formats that fit, and advise on dilution and staff training.
Unlock the potential of automated cleaning — designed for smaller spaces
The TASKI Phantas is a compact multi-application robot that scrubs, vacuums and sweeps in a single machine, bringing automation to the smaller, more congested spaces larger robots cannot work in. With a 33 cm working width, 4.5+ hours of battery life and automated return to its charging station, it holds a consistent cleaning standard in restaurants, offices, retail units and healthcare areas where finding dedicated staff for 500–1,000 m² a day is increasingly difficult.
Scrubbing, vacuuming and sweeping from a single unit — one robot covers jobs that would otherwise need separate equipment and separate passes.
At 54 × 44 cm with a 33 cm working width, it automates cleaning in restaurants, offices and retail units where a full-size robot simply will not fit.
A 40 Ah lithium-ion pack runs over four and a half hours and recharges in two, returning to its station automatically so cleaning continues without supervision.
The Phantas runs on the same intelligent systems as the rest of the TASKI range — lithium-ion power, an intuitive touchscreen and HEPA filtration — combined with a navigation stack built around LiDAR, depth cameras and AI obstacle avoidance. Together they are what let an unsupervised machine work safely in occupied, congested spaces rather than only in empty ones.
Lithium-ion batteries deliver consistent power across the full run and recharge fast enough to keep the machine in rotation.
An intuitive multifunctional touchscreen for mapping routes, scheduling runs and reading results without specialist training.
Captures fine particulate during operation, supporting improved indoor air quality alongside the floor result.

Plan around the realistic range. With 4.5 hours of runtime the machine comfortably covers the 500–1,000 m² daily areas it is designed for.
Yes — all three, from one unit. That is the main reason to choose the Phantas over a single-function robot: one machine and one schedule instead of separate equipment and separate passes.
Working width is 33 cm and the tank holds 11 litres, which is sized to complete a typical small-site run on a single fill.
The machine is 54 cm long, 44 cm wide and 62 cm high, weighing 48 kg. It was designed specifically for the smaller, more congested spaces that full-size robotic scrubbers cannot work in.
If your site has narrow aisles or tight furniture layouts, that footprint is the deciding factor — a site walkthrough will confirm it quickly.
The navigation stack combines LiDAR, 3D depth cameras, an RGB camera, anti-drop and anti-collision sensors, with AI-powered obstacle avoidance on top.
That combination is what allows it to work in occupied spaces during opening hours rather than only in an empty building after close.
Set-up is done on a tablet PC with real-time auto-cover, so the map builds as the machine moves rather than requiring a manual survey.
From there it connects over a SIM card for online fleet and machine management, including runtime and area-coverage analysis. Most data stays on-device; cleaning performance and map coverage are sent to the cloud.
Labour scarcity, mostly. It is genuinely difficult to recruit cleaning staff for just 500–1,000 m² a day, and the sector sees around 61% annual turnover, with a majority of building service contractors reporting difficulty finding personnel.
The intent is cobotic rather than replacement: the robot handles the repetitive floor work and frees your team for tasks that need judgement. The by-products are consistent cleaning quality and a better total cost of cleaning.
The system comprises the TASKI GS Phantas 1.2 (9293373) and the TASKI GS Charging Station Phantas (9293374).
Because realistic throughput depends so heavily on your layout, a site demonstration is the fastest way to get a dependable number. Use the Book a Demo button above and the team will arrange a walkthrough.

Pools are nowadays a desired amenity in housing societies and an attraction for health and wellness at luxury hotels. Samit Choudhary, National Head of Diversey Solenis, writes about keeping and maintaining swimming pools clean and free from dangerous bacteria.
Swimming is considered as one of the best cardio and mentally relaxing exercise. As a result, it has been associated with many health benefits.
However, pool maintenance has been a tough and complex job as many factors which are involved are dynamic in nature. Weather conditions, different types of users and chances of chemical unbalancing, and the need for regular monitoring of water parameters are the factors which adds to the complexity.
As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, chlorine level has to be maintained between 1-4ppm (parts per million) and pH in the neutral range of 7-8.
Manual treatment of pool water and lack of available technology in automation and specialty chemistry has been holding back the industry to manage their pool facility to the right standards.
The most common cause of pool-related outbreaks is Cryptosporidium (Crypto), a chlorine-resistant parasite. Other causes include Legionella and Pseudomonas, bacterium that can cause illnesses such as Legionnaires’ disease and hot tub rash.
Between 2015 and 2019, the CDC reported 208 outbreaks linked to recreational water venues. These outbreaks resulted in over 3,600 cases of illness and 13 deaths during this period.

Diversey, a Solenis Company, in a recent press conference, has announced its venture into the water treatment segment besides increasing its foothold in the cleaning & hygiene sector and focus on innovation & sustainability in driving this growth plan.
Addressing the media, John Panichella, CEO, Solenis, said that globally an increasing growth trend on four key parameters namely water treatment, infection prevention, protection of food supply, and fibre-based packaging solutions is visible and Solenis is set to capitalize on these trends with initiatives.
“Solenis’ priority for India in the next three to five years is to achieve a higher double-digit growth. This ambitious growth will be achieved through timely investments in R&D, new manufacturing plants, and key acquisitions. “We expect that our expertise in fibre-based packaging solutions and opportunities in the coating will play a significant role in driving the growth in India and globally.”
Somer Gundogdu, President of Emerging Markets and TASKI, stated that, “Amongst the emerging markets, India is one of the important markets for us where we have a differentiated market position. Adding to the growth trajectory is the expanding Indian economy which will pave the way for us to scale the business significantly.”
On the plans of launching new products in 2024, Brijesh Rathore, Vice President, South Asia (Diversey Institutional) & Global Strategic Accounts APAC, said, “With the fast-developing IT sector, there is a requirement for special floor cleaning chemicals which is being developed by us.”
“Solenis, about a $8 billion company is driving to achieve 25 to 30% of its sales to come from new products less than five years old. We are investing in R&D at our global centres to drive technologies to solve customers’ problems. This is our goal,” added John Panichella, CEO, Solenis.
“We are going to launch a new technology into this market. It is a concentrated liquid in a dissolvable pouch that can be dropped into a spray bottle, shake it and it dissolves and is ready is use. This one container can be used for multiple use,” explained John. This eliminates the transportation challenges and large storage space requirements.
While hospitality will be the focus segment for Diversey, “The sectors we are very excited about is the healthcare. We are developing solutions to meet the needs of this sector,” said Brijesh.
Emphasising on the need to study the hospital-acquired infection (nosocomial diseases), Brijesh elaborated that the figures of HAI in India could vary from “7% to 10% to 88%”. “This 88% who acquire infection at the hospital is the area we are focussing on given our global expertise.”
The plans are strong to pursue the “Presumer” vertical, focusing on enhancing the asset life and the health of the occupants.
“The biggest area where we have a very strong presence is the building service contractors which is fast growing. With the manufacturing segments fast increasing in India, outsourcing to BSCs will increase too. This is another focus area for us,” added Brijesh.
Brijesh Rathore elaborated on India’s growth story, emphasizing dedication to giving back to communities through initiatives like GARIMA – a skill development initiative, and sustainability initiatives like Soap for Hope™ and Linens for Life™ that repurpose discarded soaps and linen to reduce the carbon footprint and promote hygiene.

If one takes floors, walls, ceilings, racks, aisles and exteriors into account, the effective area to be cleaned in even a medium-sized warehouse will easily cross over one lakh square feet. Kiran Rao, Business Director, Building Care, Diversey India Hygiene Pvt Ltd writes about how to assess a warehouse’s cleaning needs, the challenges therein, and what equipment and chemicals should be used to overcome them.
Warehouse audit methodology is used to survey site specifications such as interiors, exterior, washroom, food court, periphery and high-touch point locations. Based on the area specifics, we assess further details such as:
Mechanisation of cleaning is the way forward
Selection of compatible and right cleaning agents based on floor type is important to ensure floors are safe after usage, without damaging them. E.g Taski Spiral is a scientifically blended liquid detergent for cleaning floors and oily/greasy work areas.
Amongst cleaning equipment, auto scrubber-driers ensure powerful cleaning and drying results with no streak marks and prevent slippage after usage. Taski’s patented Intelliflow system always ensures the right amount of cleaning solution on the floor and leads to significant water savings.
Spray & wipe application: Microfibre dusters absorb five times their own weight, and can be used in both dry & wet application. E.g For high touch point area disinfection.
Manual or mechanised sweeper machines: Work on overthrow principle, and ensure there is no residual dust flying. Bulk waste flap installed in front of the brush helps pick up bulkier debris.
Manoeuvrability between the racks and stacks poses a challenge during cleaning operations. It can be addressed through mechanised cleaning with micro ride-on scrubber-driers, mini walk-behind auto scrubber-driers, and sweeping application with walk-behind machines.
Taski Swingo 2100 Micro Ride-on Scrubber Driers can manoeuvre through narrow lanes. They are an excellent option in congested areas due to their speed, small footprint, agility and large tank size. Taski Swingo 455 E is a Walk-behind Auto Scrubber for narrow alleys and small areas.
Kobra is an efficient walk-behind sweeper ideal for medium sized areas, with greater manoeuvrability and ergonomics.
This is challenging because of the placement and array of SKUs. It can be addressed by vacuuming with a backpack vacuum cleaner (e.g Taski Aero BP - Battery Operated), which gives excellent dry cleaning performance, crevice nozzle, and dusting brush which can be carried with machines to complete multiple jobs at the same time. It meets EHS compliance and the backpack weighs less than 6 kg.
In case the area to be cleaned is not accessible with these machines, microfibre-based dusters with damp or dry application are recommended.
Clean any high surface area first as the debris will fall to a lower level. Dust levels are usually high in lower areas. High areas that require cleaning in warehouses include heating and cooling ducts, tops of pallets, racks, windows and frames. Diversey Telescopic Poles can be used upto an 11 meter height with required accessories.
Machine recommendations may not vary much based on the type of warehouse. The cleaning agent shall vary, depending upon the type of soil/floors. e.g Pharma warehouses need a different medical-grade cleaning reagent, while agro-based warehouses should use food-grade agents without any fragrance. E-commerce sites use neutral cleaner or alkaline agents.
Mechanised sweepers Rider 1201 Battery Operated Sweeper or Picobello Manual Sweeper are recommended where soils are dry/loose, when wet application is not preferred. For peripheral areas, normal sweeping with manual or mechanical sweeper is feasible. High pressure jets like Danubio 150 Bar High Pressure Water Jet Machine are also used to remove stubborn stains.
