Cleaning Equipment

  A car park collects everything a building does not want: grit, brake dust, oil drips, leaves, spilled coffee, shopping trolleys. None of it arrives on a schedule, and all of it ends up on the floor.   Clear grit and litter before you wash. Size the machine to the tightest space it must enter, not to the square metreage of the deck. Then match the scrubber to the space: a walk-behind for ramps, columns and lift lobbies, a mid-size ride-on for standard decks, a large ride-on only where you can close a whole level.    Ramps, corners and low headroom   Geometry decides machine choice more often than square metreage does. Before you buy, measure three things: the clear width of the tightest aisle you must clean, the height of the lowest beam or pipe on that route, and the gradient of the steepest ramp.   Area Constraint to measure Practical approach Large open decks Aisle width, slab load, level access Large ride-on, whole level closed Standard decks Bay-to-bay aisle, turning radius Mid-size ride-on, one pass per aisle Ramps Gradient, surface texture Walk-behind, slow, dry pass first Column surrounds Turning space around columns Walk-behind, figure-of-eight pattern Pedestrian routes Door widths, lift lobby Walk-behind, off-peak only   Gradient matters twice: a machine that cannot hold a ramp is a safety problem, one that leaves water on a slope is a slip problem. Check the rated climbing angle against your steepest ramp, and ask how dry the squeegee leaves the floor.   Walk-behind, mid-size ride-on or large ride-on?   Three sizes cover almost every multi-storey site, and the split follows geometry rather than budget. The tightest clear width eliminates one of them before price comes into it.   Specification BA530BT walk-behind A7 mid-size ride-on A17 large ride-on Cleaning width 530 mm 860 mm 1,060 mm Squeegee width 770 mm 1,100 mm 1,400 mm Rated coverage 2,100 m²/h 5,500 m²/h 8,600 m²/h Solution / recovery 50 L / 55 L 140 L / 150 L 300 L / 350 L Battery 24 V 100 Ah 24 V 200 Ah 36 V 460 Ah Machine size (L×W×H) 116 × 54 × 106 cm 165 × 90 × 130 cm 223 × 140 × 148 cm Weight with battery 190 kg 330 kg 1,525 kg Best fit Ramps, columns, lobbies Standard decks, long aisles Whole-level closures     The BA530BT walk-behind scrubber puts a 530 mm brush and 770 mm squeegee on a 116 × 54 cm chassis of 190 kg: the machine for ramps, column surrounds and the walkway to the lifts. Its 50 L tank is an advantage on a slope, not a limitation.   The A7 mid-size ride-on scrubber is the deck workhorse: an 860 mm brush, a 1,100 mm squeegee, 5,500 m²/h and 140 L of solution on a 330 kg body. Its turning circle is tight enough to swing at the end of an aisle instead of reversing out.     The A17 large ride-on scrubber covers 1,060 mm per pass at 8,600 m²/h with 300 L of solution and 7–8 hours on one charge, but it stands 223 × 140 cm and weighs 1,525 kg. It earns its place only where you can close a whole level: airport parking, exhibition centre decks, mall car parks with wide aisles. Check the slab load rating first.   From the field: three sizes, one site Jiechi(RCE) has built cleaning equipment since 2003 across two production bases totalling 60,000 m². Car park enquiries reach us as one area and one budget, so the first thing we split is the deck map.    FAQ Can one machine be universally applicable? Generally, analysis needs to be carried out considering the floor material, the narrowest passage and the total working area. JIECHI scrubber dryers can handle a wide range of floor surfaces including epoxy flooring, cement floors, terrazzo, ceramic tiles, PVC vinyl flooring, marble and emery floors. Is a parking garage floor scrubber different from a warehouse one? The machine is the same class. What changes is the specification: gradient capability, how dry the squeegee leaves the floor, and a footprint that fits the tightest aisle. Plan a machine split for your decks Send us your deck plan, tightest aisle width, ramp gradient and the hours you can close a level. We will tell you which of the three sizes belongs on each deck.

Key Takeaways What's Hard About Mall Cleaning Zone-by-Zone Equipment Manual vs Mechanized Case Results FAQ Conclusion Contact Us Mops and buckets don't get escalator grooves, atrium scuff marks or food court grease clean. Machines do. One machine per zone: EL510 for escalators, A7 for atrium floors, A3 or A5 for food courts. Mechanical cleaning typically halves the cleaning labour bill, and floors are dry while the mall is still open. The three problems this fixes: dirt packed into escalator steps, dull atrium floors, and grease that keeps coming back. Malls are a harder cleaning job than offices or warehouses, and not for the reason people expect. They run 10 to 12 hours a day, shoppers walk across every square metre of them, and a large share of the floor is decorative rather than practical. Then there's the food court, putting oil on the floor all day. A mop takes care of surface dust and stops there. It doesn't reach the grit packed into escalator step grooves, it doesn't lift a scuff mark off polished tile, and it doesn't cut grease that has set on a food court floor. What does work is splitting the mall into zones and putting the right machine in each one. What's Actually Hard About Cleaning a Mall Every zone fails in its own way. The three complaints come up most often: Escalator grime. Sand, hair and fine dust pack into the step grooves and the handrail gap. A wipe moves the top layer around and leaves the rest where it sits. Atrium floors losing their finish. Foot traffic drags in sand and spills drinks, and dark scuff marks build up along the walking lines. Mopping leaves streaks and wet patches that people slip on. Food court grease. Spilled oil and food residue work down into the tile joints. Hand cleaning gets what's on the surface, so the smell is back by the next morning. Zone-by-Zone: Which Jiechi Machine Goes Where Don't buy one machine and try to make it fit everywhere. Split the mall into three zones (escalators, atrium walkways, food court) and match the machine to each. 1. Escalator & Travelator Area | Jiechi EL510 Escalator Cleaner       An escalator gets touched more than almost anything else in the building, and it's the one you can least afford to shut down. Cleaning it by hand during trading hours means working around shoppers and still missing the grooves. The Jiechi EL510 is built to run on an escalator that is still moving. It scrubs with very little water and recovers the dirty water as it goes, so nothing drips into the machinery underneath. It lifts trapped dust, old grime and bacteria out of the steps and handrails, with no leaks and nothing for the escalator hardware to worry about. In practice, you stop trading hygiene off against keeping the escalator running. 2. Atrium Public Walkways | Jiechi A7 Ride-On Scrubber       Atriums are large, open and busy. Two weeks of spills and scuff marks and the floor starts to look tired, which is a problem when the whole point of the space is to look upmarket. The Jiechi A7 ride-on scrubber is sized for floors like this. It scrubs, rinses and vacuums the water back up in a single pass, so the floor is dry right behind the machine. A wet atrium floor at 10 a.m. is a slip claim waiting to happen. The usual routine: a full pass daily during off-peak hours, then a deeper scrub once a week to lift the marks that have settled into the finish. One operator covers several thousand square metres in a shift, and the floor keeps its gloss. 3. Food Court Grease Zone | Jiechi A3 Walk-Behind & A5 Mini Ride-On Scrubber       The food court is the hardest part of the job. Stalls sit close together, there's a corner every few metres, and oil hits the floor every night. Which scrubber you buy decides how long the crew stays after closing. A3 or A5? A Quick Comparison for Food Courts Comparison Item Jiechi A3 Walk-behind Scrubber Jiechi A5 Mini Ride-on Scrubber Site Adaptability Fits between narrow stall rows and into corners Needs wide aisles to be worth using Cleaning Speed Better for spot work and detail degreasing Covers a big open floor far faster Operator Comfort You walk behind it, which gets tiring over a long shift Operator sits, so end-of-shift fatigue is much lower Investment Level Cheaper to buy, simple to maintain Costs more up front, keeps up with a large floor For most food courts, you end up needing both. The A3 goes into the gaps between stalls, handles spills as they happen, and does the detail degreasing. The A5 takes the main walkways and the open seating areas. If your stalls are small and packed together, make the A3 your main machine. If you have a large open dining area, the A5 is what takes hours off the night shift. Manual Cleaning vs Mechanized Cleaning Cleaning Item Traditional Manual Cleaning Jiechi Mechanized Cleaning Escalator groove cleaning Surface wipe only, the dirt stays where it is EL510 scrubs the grooves and pulls the dirt out Large atrium floor cleaning Slow, leaves streaks, floor stays wet A7 scrubs and dries in one pass, no streaks Food court grease removal Shallow clean, so grease and smell come back A3/A5 degrease properly, and it holds Impact on shopping Crews and buckets block the walkways Most work happens before the mall opens Case: A 12,000 m² Mall, Twelve Months In A 12,000 m² mall ran this zoned programme for a year. The numbers that moved: Escalator hygiene compliance: 72% → 99% Atrium cleaning efficiency: +60% Food court slip incidents and odour complaints: -68% Total cleaning labour cost: -52% FAQ Q1: Can we clean escalators while the mall is open?A1: Yes. The EL510 cleans with very little water and recovers all of it, so it works on an escalator that's still running. No shutdown, no leaks, and shoppers just walk around it. Q2: Should I choose A3 or A5 for my food court?A2: It comes down to layout. The A3 gets into narrow stall gaps and handles detail degreasing. The A5 covers wide aisles and big open seating areas. Most sites run both, because each machine leaves a gap the other one fills. Q3: How often should I clean atrium floors mechanically?A3: A daily pass with the A7 keeps the floor looking clean. Once a week, scrub deeper to take off the marks that have built up and protect the finish. Cleaning a mall properly is not a bigger version of sweeping and mopping. Split the site into zones and match the machine to each one (EL510 on the escalators, A7 across the atrium, A3 and A5 in the food court), and all three problems start to go away. Mechanical cleaning also makes the numbers behave. Hygiene scores stop drifting between shifts, the floor looks the way shoppers expect, and the cleaning budget comes down instead of creeping up year after year.

As summer temperatures rise, cleaning demands in factories, shopping malls, commercial properties, and warehouses often increase. High heat, humidity, and long hours of continuous operation place extra stress on key components of floor scrubbers — including the battery system, water recovery system, and cleaning assemblies. Without proper maintenance, equipment performance declines. You may see reduced runtime, weaker water pickup, and lower cleaning efficiency. To help users improve equipment reliability and reduce downtime, Jiechi has prepared this summer maintenance guide covering essential care tips to keep your scrubber for floor cleaning running at peak performance.   1. Battery Maintenance: Maintain Stable Runtime The battery is the power source of every floor scrubber. In high-temperature environments, increased battery temperature affects both charging and discharging efficiency. Long-term exposure to excessive heat can also accelerate battery aging. Recommended maintenance tips:✅ Avoid leaving the machine under direct sunlight for extended periods✅ Park the equipment in a cool, well-ventilated area after operation✅ Avoid charging immediately after heavy-duty cleaning when the battery is still hot✅ Regularly check battery connections and terminals for looseness or oxidation For Jiechi floor scrubbers equipped with lithium battery systems, proper usage and heat management — including on commercial floor scrubber machine models — help maintain stable performance and improve overall operating efficiency.   2. Water Recovery System Maintenance: Ensure Fast Floor Drying Cleaning performance depends not only on scrubbing power but also on how well the water recovery system works. During hot weather, residual wastewater in the recovery tank can quickly develop unpleasant odors. Dirt buildup inside the recovery hose can also reduce suction. Daily maintenance tips:✅ Empty the recovery tank after each use✅ Rinse the inside of the recovery tank regularly✅ Check the suction hose for blockages✅ Inspect squeegee blades for wear and damage Jiechi floor scrubbers use efficient water recovery systems for quick floor drying. Properly maintaining suction components improves safety and ensures consistent results.   3. Brush System Inspection: Maintain Cleaning Performance In high-frequency environments like factories, warehouses, and parking garages, brushes face constant exposure to dust, oil stains, and debris. This can cause accelerated wear or entanglement. Regularly check:✅ Brush wear condition✅ Brush height and cleaning effectiveness✅ Whether plastic strips, cables, or packaging materials are wrapped around the brush✅ Whether the brush is securely installed A heavily worn brush reduces cleaning performance and increases machine workload. Regular inspection and timely replacement of consumables — including the commercial floor scrubber brush deck — are essential for maintaining the best cleaning results.   4. Water System Cleaning: Prevent Uneven Water Flow During summer, increased dust and oil contamination can affect the clean water system. Common issues include clogged filters and uneven water distribution. Key maintenance points:✅ Clean the clean water filter regularly✅ Check whether spray nozzles are blocked✅ Use clean water sources to reduce impurities entering the system✅ Drain the water system before long-term storage Keeping the water system clean ensures consistent water supply to the brush assembly and improves overall cleaning efficiency.   5. Proper Storage: Reduce Equipment Wear Many equipment problems don't happen during operation — they result from improper storage. After finishing work: ✅ Empty both the clean water tank and recovery tank ✅ Remove dust and dirt from the machine surface ✅ Lift the brush deck and squeegee assembly ✅ Store the equipment in a dry, shaded environment ✅ Regularly check machine operating conditions Proper storage reduces component aging and keeps the machine ready for reliable operation. Smart Maintenance Delivers Long-Term Value During the summer season, floor scrubbers often handle longer working hours and higher cleaning frequencies. Regular maintenance of the battery, water recovery system, brush system, water circuit, and storage conditions can reduce equipment failures, minimize downtime, and improve overall cleaning efficiency. For professional environments such as factories, commercial properties, shopping malls, and warehouses, stable equipment performance depends on both correct operation and scientific maintenance. Whether you use a walk-behind or ride-on floor scrubber machine, these summer care tips apply. Jiechi is committed to providing reliable cleaning equipment and professional support — helping businesses achieve more efficient, safer, and smarter cleaning management.

Do procurement, property management and factory facility staff always feel overwhelmed when choosing commercial floor scrubbers?   The core criteria for classifying commercial floor scrubbers lie in site size + cleaning demands — higher price never means better performance, and perfect compatibility is the top priority.   Walk-behind Scrubber | First Choice for Small Spaces ✨ Applicable Scenarios: Small and medium areas within 5,000 square meters, including convenience stores, small workshops, office corridors, restaurant back kitchens, hospital wards and nursing home activity rooms.   ✅ Core Advantages: Compact body design to easily navigate narrow aisles and equipment gaps. User-friendly operation requires no professional training, easy for general staff to operate. Low maintenance cost and space-saving for storage.   A3 BA530BT   ✅ Procurement Tips: For limited budgets and small-area usage, prioritize models with over 6 hours of battery life and adjustable brush pressure.     Ride-on Scrubber | Main Workhorse for Medium & Large Spaces ✨ Applicable Scenarios: Medium to large areas of 5,000–20,000 square meters, such as mid-sized factories, shopping malls, underground parking lots, large warehouses and industrial parks.   A5 A7 BA850BT A17 【 More machine information 】   ✅ Core Advantages: Hands-free cleaning with ride-on design, doubling working efficiency (4,000–9,200 sq.m/h). Equipped with 6+ hours long battery life and adjustable brush pressure (20–90kg), capable of handling light, moderate and heavy oil stains. Sewage recovery rate ≥95%, ensuring quick-dry non-slip floors.   ⚠ Notes: Larger body requires dedicated storage space. Higher cost than walk-behind models, ideal for large-area cleaning with sufficient budgets. For workshops with dense equipment, select models with flexible steering.   Intelligent Unmanned Scrubber | Optimal for Large & High-end Venues ✨ Applicable Scenarios: Large venues above 20,000 square meters, including logistics parks, large industrial zones, airports, high-speed railway stations, lithium battery dust-free workshops and hypermarkets. ✅ Core Advantages: 24-hour unattended operation and compatible with intelligent management systems, perfect for continuous large-area cleaning. AI automatically identifies dirt types and adjusts cleaning modes; precise navigation and intelligent obstacle avoidance greatly cut labor costs.

Recently, we came across the research data of the cleaning industry, which is truly striking: the recruitment of cleaning enterprises in the southeast coastal areas has surged by 80%, yet the profit margin is a meager 2%.   "The market is extremely competitive" has become a catchphrase across all walks of life.   ?How fierce is the competition in your industry now?   The Intelligent Era Is Corporate Cleaning Still Relying on Manual Labor Alone?   As practitioners in the field of professional large-scale cleaning equipment, we have seen numerous predicaments faced by those in the cleaning industry. The core of the fierce competition in the cleaning industry has never been "too many people with low prices", but rather still using "pure manual labor" to do "mechanized" work.   Dimension Real Data Industry Misconception Equipment Investment 70% of small and medium-sized cleaning enterprises lack systematic technical equipment Thinking that "purchasing equipment = increasing costs", without realizing that human-machine collaboration can reduce costs by more than 30%   If enterprises fail to calculate this account clearly, they can only get caught in the internal friction of low prices.Here are several real cases ⬇️   Case 1 A property management company of a residential community in Shanghai is responsible for the cleaning work of 3 communities. At the beginning of last year, they reported to us that:   The main road of the community covers more than 1,600 square meters. 5 cleaning workers worked non-stop from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., yet there were constant complaints from property owners, and the client almost terminated the cooperation.   After understanding their difficulties, we recommended the Jiechi BA2100T Ride-on Sweeper. Soon after, they gave us feedback: this equipment is such a relief!   1 cleaning worker can operate it by sitting on it and clean more than 1,600 square meters of the main road in about 20 minutes, even sweeping away the dust and fallen leaves in the cracks, and the complaints from owners have decreased. The work that used to take 5 people 4 hours to finish can now be done by 1 person in less than half an hour, saving nearly 20,000 RMB in labor costs every month. What's more reassuring is that a single charge supports continuous work for 6-8 hours, covering both the community corridors and parking lots. Now, they have redeployed the saved labor to do refined cleaning work and finally renewed the cooperation smoothly. Case 2 A food processing factory, mainly engaged in the processing of pastries and cooked food, has been plagued by the problem of workshop cleaning for a long time. Food workshops have extremely high hygiene requirements, and failure in random inspections may even result in forced suspension of production for rectification.   At first, cleaning was entirely done by manual labor. Anyone in the food industry knows how troublesome it is to clean oil stains—it is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and poor handling may cause workers to slip and fall, creating potential safety hazards.   Later, they adopted the Jiechi Walk-behind Floor Scrubber, which is extremely flexible to operate. With a gentle push, all oil stains are cleaned wherever it goes, and the ground is left water-free, completely solving this big worry. After the improvement of the production environment, the order volume has also increased significantly. Case 3 A cleaning aunt at a RT-Mart store once shared her genuine experience of using the Walk-behind Floor Scrubber A3 with us. She said that the supermarket is crowded with people and has dense shelves, making it impossible for large floor scrubbers to maneuver. She used to mop the floor manually, walking tens of thousands of steps every day, and the mopped floor was prone to water stains, worrying that customers might slip and fall accidentally.   Later, the store was equipped with the walk-behind floor scrubber, which is compact in size and can easily weave through the shelves. The floor becomes dry immediately after mopping with no water stains left. The aunt said that it used to take her 4 hours to mop the floor every day, but now it only takes 2 hours. She can do other cleaning work with the remaining time, and her waist is not as sore as before. Facts have proven that instead of struggling in the vicious competition of low prices, it is better to spend a small amount of money on the right equipment. The labor and time saved are pure profits. Regardless of the industry, the core demands for cleaning are "saving time, saving labor, and achieving a thorough clean".   Founded in 2003, Jiechi is a time-honored brand that not only focuses on the R&D and production of cleaning equipment but also has served well-known brands such as China High-speed Railway, Midea, Hema, Country Garden, BYD, etc. With guaranteed quality and after-sales service, we can respond promptly to any problems.   The cleaning industry is now in the "stage of equipment popularization" and is starting to transition to intelligence. Robots cannot work completely independently yet, but the proportion of manual labor will gradually decrease in the future, and equipmentization is definitely an inevitable trend.   Comply with the market trend, and benefit early by adopting equipment early.
