Modern cleaning technologies help us to deliver our best commercial cleaning work at a consistent rate that always gives you the same quality with better efficiency and management so that your business can thrive.
We are always striving to develop and modernise our cleaning processes, seeking constant improvement that benefits you and creates safer and healthier work conditions for both your employees and our staff. Check out some of the new trends and innovations in cleaning technology below and learn how they can benefit your commercial business.
Modern Cleaning Technology Innovations
New cleaning technology has a two-pronged benefit for the commercial cleaning industry. The first is that it allows us to develop and introduce new methods of cleaning that provide a fuller service to our clients. The second is that it allows us to improve and enhance the cleaning processes we already have in place to make them better than ever before.
It’s also important that we consider the impact of our cleaning methods on not just the office but on your employees, customers and the wider society that your business is a part of, elevating your company in more ways than one and helping you to be more successful than ever before.
1. Environmental Cleaning Innovations
Perhaps one of the most important developments in cleaning in recent years, sustainable cleaning processes have a positive impact on both the people in your workplace and the environment as a whole. These developing processes help us to preserve natural resources and create a healthy, non-toxic atmosphere for employees and customers.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning Supplies
Eco-friendly cleaning supplies have been taking the cleaning industry by storm, helping to remove the use of toxic chemicals that can adversely affect employee health and that cause wear-and-tear to surfaces over long periods of time.
Our own range of eco-friendly products, Total Defence, allows us to be fully sustainable in both the liquid we use to clean and the packaging it comes in. Our use of biodegradable, recyclable packaging negates the waste that comes from single-use plastics.
By using a more environmentally friendly cleaning solution, we will also be able to help you reduce absenteeism at work. Without chemicals, your employees will be at less of a risk of respiratory issues such as asthma.
Water Saving Cleaning Technology
Electrolysed water cleaning technologies enable cleaning equipment to go through its processes for longer periods of time while using up to 70% less water, helping to conserve an important natural resource of the environment.
Electrolysed water is made with a salt solution which is then treated with an electrical charge. This produces a non-toxic disinfectant called hypochlorous acid that is highly effective at eliminating germs and bacteria from surfaces.
This water saving technology has similarities to electrostatic disinfection where sprayers are used to charge the disinfectant solution with electrodes in the nozzle to provide a positive electric charge that bonds with negatively charged surfaces to remove germs and bacteria.
Energy Saving Technology
Sustainable innovations in the commercial cleaning industry don’t just apply to the cleaning processes. We believe in innovating all areas of our business to create a healthier environment for all our clients.
Our company owns and operates its own fleet of electric vehicles for green travel between our offices and your company. This helps us to reduce the overall carbon emissions produced by our company.
All of our offices are solar powered as well for efficient energy usage during our management processes.
2. Air Cleaning Technology
Keeping your indoor air clean and free of pollutants is an important part of maintaining a healthy working atmosphere, removing traces of dust, pollen and other allergens.
PCO Technology
Photocatalytic oxidation technology uses light energy to break down and eliminate pollutants in the air and has recently become more widely available in air purifiers in commercial environments.
The low system maintenance and the long lifespan means that you will be able to benefit from PCO air purifiers for a long period of time without needing to repair or replace parts.
The UV light in PCO air purifiers triggers a chemical reaction that removes bacteria though as a passive air purification system, it only destroys the bacteria that directly passes through the system.
UV lights are being used more and more often in disinfection and purification systems, with the light breaking down bacteria and germs so that they can’t multiply.
RCI Technology
Radiant catalytic ionisation air purifiers remove pollutants and germs on air and in surfaces, a thorough purifying process that improves indoor air quality. They are designed in a honeycomb shape with a combination of metals and UV light. It is comprised of:
- Hydroxyls
- Hydroxides
- Super oxide ions
- Ozonite ions
- Hydro-peroxides
There is however a danger with ionised air purifiers that they may generate ozone that can irritate lungs and trigger allergies and asthma attacks.
3. Robotic Cleaning Technology
Robotic cleaning processes can help to revolutionise the commercial cleaning industry, helping our cleaning staff to manage their workloads more effectively and create a more efficient service for our clients.
Robotic Vacuums
Robotic vacuums provide an energy efficient method of performing regular cleaning services to support our staff during their daily services at your business so that they can spend more time providing a more intensive and targeted service to help your business thrive.
Robotic vacuums are best for daily services only to remove surface dust and allergens from your floors and carpets. They shouldn’t be expected to replace deeper and more complex cleaning methods.
Cleaning Drones
Using drone technology in commercial cleaning is most effective when used on the exterior of your building. Drones can help to revolutionise window cleaning practices with the technology engineered to clean windows on higher levels quickly and efficiently.
Power wash drones are also used in the cleaning industry to clean higher parts of your walls with industrial-strength power washing technology. Drones make high level cleaning services a lot safer as it negates the need for staff to elevate themselves on access platforms and risk accidents.
AR and VR Cleaning Technology
AR and VR are key parts of innovative cleaning processes, helping to train our cleaners and help them to manage their cleaning tasks more effectively.
AR and VR training tools can help to teach staff the correct detergent to use on surfaces and the correct ratios in each cleaning solution. AR headsets can be used for on-site training to support new cleaners through their tasks. Work will be able to be monitored through the headset and feedback provided, allowing our cleaning processes to be constantly improved.
With virtual and augmented technology, we will also be able to make sure the cleaning processes carried out on your premises remain safe, letting cleaners know about mistakes and ensuring the correct materials are used to safeguard your employees’ health and prevent wear-and-tear to surfaces and items in your office.
AI Management Technology
Through the use of AI chatbots and apps, we can improve our communication with both you and our professional cleaners on site, helping you to tell us about developments and new challenges so that our cleaners can respond more efficiently to your needs.
The Internet of Things (IoT) uses sensors and devices to manage and analyse data from cleaning work in real time and react accordingly to improve our processes and provide a stronger cleaning service.
Benefits of Cleaning Technology Innovations
New cleaning technologies are helping us to revolutionise the cleaning industry and allows us to bring a higher quality of service to all our clients regardless of their industry.
We aim to constantly improve our cleaning processes, finding new and inventive ways to incorporate AI and AR as well as developing our sustainability practices so that we can match your eco-conscious values and support your own eco-friendly goals and endeavours.
Helping our professional cleaners to save time will ensure there is as little disruption to your working day as possible and enable us to be more efficient, helping us to improve the speed and thoroughness of our services so that we can get more done during a session.
With these developments, we can improve health and safety in the workplace, protecting our staff and your employees from accidents at the workplace and improving indoor working conditions to minimise the risk of infection spreading.
These cleaning technology innovations are the future of the commercial cleaning industry. While they are not perfect solutions yet, we are dedicated to helping these trends to become more and more beneficial to your company.
