Promoting cleaner safer schools
South Africa Johannesburg Goscor Cleaning Equipment - Having worked in school maintenance for more than 26 years, I've seen my fair share of accidents. It's hard not to with kids running through the halls, pushing and shoving to get to class; lunch trays getting tipped over, and food and beverages awaiting a misplaced foot; or locker doors getting left open or slammed on fingers.
It's no secret that accidents will happen—especially in such a busy and frantic setting as a school. But some accidents can easily be prevented.
A lesson in chemistry
Wet, slippery or sticky floors seem to be one of the primary causes of accidents—whether in a school, an office complex, a hospital or a retail facility. Throughout my maintenance career, floor safety and cleanliness have been my two biggest concerns. But for much of that career, it seemed that the two didn't go hand-in-hand.
Then I learned about an automated foam scrubbing system that claimed it could actually make my schools' floors cleaner and safer. I wanted to learn more.
The technology behind this system, though revolutionary, is really quite simple. A water and detergent mixture is injected with air to create a foam cleaning agent. The detergent is pre-measured so there's no overuse of chemicals—my staff never has to worry about measuring and mixing the solution. In fact, this system uses 90 percent less detergent than conventional automated scrubbers. That means there's virtually no slippery or sticky detergent residue after cleaning. And, the system uses 70 percent less water than conventional automated scrubbers, so floors are drier faster after cleaning.
Too good to be true? Guess again. During September, I purchased a walk-behind automated foam scrubbing system and started using it in one of my grade schools. For the first time, my staff was able to use floor cleaning equipment during school hours. There's no concern about students or faculty slipping and falling, and the floors are safe to walk on immediately after cleaning. In fact, in the two years since I first purchased this machine, I haven't witnessed a single slip and fall accident where the machine has been used. And the floors aren't only safe, they're clean—cleaner than I've ever seen them using mops and buckets or even conventional scrubbers.
Do the maths
What I like about this new automated foam scrubbing system almost as much as the safety it offers our students, faculty and staff, is the fact that in improves my cleaning staff's productivity.
Because the chemical is pre-mixed in an easy-to-use cartridge, it's simple for staff to simply attach it to the scrubber. They don't waste their time measuring detergent or mixing solutions. And because the right amount of chemical and water are used, there are fewer empty/fill cycles, too. My staff actually gains about an hour of cleaning time per eight-hour shift because they don't have to spend time refilling the machine. They just add water and go.
Plus, they no longer need to store and move those heavy drums of chemicals because they can just reach for a cartridge. And talk about productivity—one of those cartridges can clean up to one million square feet. It's a fact that I experienced first hand when I realised we hadn't changed the chemical cartridge on the scrubber in more than three months. Now there's a maths lesson I actually enjoyed.
Preparing for the future
We recently learned that our school district would be opening several more buildings, bringing our school building count to 13, our student count to more than 11,000, and the total square footage of floors to be cleaned to more than 1.7 million.
Can you imagine cleaning that much floor surface with mops and buckets? I can't. So I've now ordered four automated foam scrubbing systems that are riding machines. If I thought my staff's productivity increased using a walk-behind foam scrubbing system, I can't imagine how much more productive they'll be when I bring in the four new riding scrubbers. Actually, I can. And I, for one, can't wait for school to start.

Litter Locker - A Cat Owner's Best Friend
Every pet needs to be properly looked after and shown a great deal of care, attention and love, after all that's really what having a pet is all about. However, there are some pets that are naturally a little more high maintenance than others.
For example, a dog will require more of your basic time than a cat. As well as feeding the dog and its general care, you need to make sure it's had plenty of walks and been able to do its business, always making sure you clean up after you, and always being armed with your poop scoop!
As much as you may love your dog, there is no denying that looking after it can be really hard work sometimes, especially after a long day at the office, when all you really want to do is put your feet up and watch TV. It is probably on these occasions that the dog actually takes you for a walk, its enthusiasm pulling you along!
A cat on the other hand, once it has had all its little bits and pieces bought for it and is fed and watered properly, is probably a lot less work than your dog tends to be.
However, there is one pet hate (excuse the pun) that almost every cat owner endures rather than enjoys! Maintaining and cleaning out of a healthy cat litter tray! I can almost hear everyone agreeing at the same time! It's just a chore, right? Oh, and that's even before the smell is taken into consideration!
Well, technology and human nature being what it is, has come to the rescue and devised a great system to reduce all the trauma that surrounds the frequent but necessary emptying of the cat litter, in the form of something called the litter locker.
Rather than having to traipse off to the garden and the outside bin every single time your lovely little cat leaves you a not so lovely gift to clean up, the litter locker provides a bit of freedom. Effectively, it's a cat litter disposal system.
Looking a little like a plastic bin, you simply scoop up the soiled cat litter and place it into the top of the litter locker, pull the lever and it drops through to the bottom of the locker, where a bagging system is employed. If it's bouncing down with rain outside and your only choices are to take the cat litter out or to endure the smell, then the litter locker to your rescue. It's hygienic and odour free and each cartridge could last one cat around 6 weeks.
