New cleaning innovations yield impressive results for leading Australian retailers
Integrating cleaning robotics technology and mineral-based floor coatings into asset management strategies, can prolong the lifespan of assets, improve return on investment, and enhance the retail experience for customers.
City has introduced cleaning robotics technology and mineral-based floor coatings as part of our cleaning services portfolio to help our retail partners optimise operational efficiency, improve floor appearance and extend floor durability and enhance sustainability and safety while reducing cost.
The new cleaning robotics technology autonomously sweeps, scrubs, and vacuums multiple floor types. Comprising advanced navigation and intelligent obstacle detection features, this technology can be used 24/7, minimising disruptions to store activities and ensuring thorough cleaning and high-quality results.
Mineral-based floor coatings replace traditional acrylic coatings in the strip-and-seal process, which are time-consuming, costly and have a limited lifespan.
Delivering long-term value, these solutions:
- enhance cleanliness and operational efficiency
- extend floor maintenance cycle and cost savings
- improve sustainability and safety.
Enhanced Cleanliness and Operational Efficiency
When combined, both solutions provide a total floor care solution, substantially improving floor appearance, reducing equipment marks and improving cleanliness and durability. The solutions also enhance operational efficiency by reducing the time required for cleaning-based activities, allowing retail businesses to better allocate their labour resources and streamline their daily operations. The time saving also generates more opportunities to reinvest in other business areas.
Extend Floor Maintenance Cycle and Cost Savings
The newly developed mineral-based floor coating offers a robust alternative to traditional acrylic coating. This coating solution increases resilience, delivers a longer-lasting shine and extends maintenance cycles from annually to every 3-5 years, or in some instances up to 10 years. The increased lifespan of floor tiles reduces the need for asset replacement and minimises disruptions to store operations.
Robotic cleaning technology means floors can be easily cleaned every day, which not only improves the look of the floors but also frees up resources to perform other cleaning activities. As a common benefit, these solutions reduce the need for stripping and sealing and reduces maintenance cycles, resulting in substantial cost savings.
Improved Sustainability and Safety
These solutions align with City’s commitment to reducing waste and using natural resources responsibly. The robotic cleaning technology uses less water than traditional cleaning methods, and the mineral-based floor coating requires fewer maintenance cycles. By reducing water consumption, we minimise environmental impact and floor slip hazards, creating a safer environment for our partners and their customers.
City is committed to providing the best possible cleaning experience for our partners by prioritising adaptability, technology, and collaboration to create smarter cleaning strategies.
