Cleaning Equipment for Contract Cleaners

Specify equipment for a new cleaning contract

Start with the number of sites, state or postcode, floor area and surface, shifts or cleaning frequency, tender deadline and mobilisation date. The equipment schedule should then account for cleaning windows, access, transport between sites and operator handover.

• Confirm each site and application
• Match equipment to area, surface, cleaning window and access
• Discuss an equipment schedule for tender and mobilisation planning
• Request a demonstration, subject to machine and location availability
• Record delivery, operator training, parts and support scope in the written quotation
• Plan how equipment could be reassigned or replaced across multiple sites

The cleaning challenge

Equipment needs to suit the contract scope, transport and access constraints, cleaning window and the operators assigned to each site.

Equipment that suits the environment

Walk-behind and ride-on scrubbers selected for the site, with consumables, training and support scope confirmed in the written quotation.

This is general application guidance only. Contact us with the floor area, surface and cleaning window and we will confirm what actually suits your facility.

What to weigh up before buying

• Floor area against the cleaning window available
• Access constraints — aisles, doorways, lifts and ramps
• Whether loose debris means sweeping before scrubbing
• Consumables, replacement parts and scheduled maintenance
• How quickly a machine can be back in service after a fault

Purchase price is only the beginning

Purchase price, operator time, consumables, maintenance, parts and downtime all contribute to whole-of-life cost. Compare them using the site's operating hours and quoted costs, then confirm the parts and support scope in writing.
