By Localising dirt & moisture in
areas where traffic is moving from dirty to clean, we can:
• Reduce overall maintenance costs within a facility
• Reduce liability risk by improving safety from slippage
• Improve appearance and aesthetics within the facility …..
Cost Breakdown:
• 15% Purchase of Materials
• 80% Maintenance
• 5% Repairs
85-90% of maintenance costs are caused by walked -in dirt !
The Facts:
• Up to 10.8 Kg. of dirt can be tracked into a facility, on the soles of shoes, by just 1000 people over a 20 day work month
• ISSA Maintenance Research (USA), shows that it costs 500 US$ to remove 5 Kg. of dirt from a facility
• 42% of a floor finish (polish/wax) can be removed within the first 6 feet on an entrance after just 2000 foot falls
• External soiling is responsible for up to 90% of all dirt in a building
• At the entry point there are 12mg. of dirt on the soles of shoes on average
• After 3m. This has reduced to 4.5mg.
• After 4m. This reduces further to 3.5mg.
• After 6m. 90% of the dirt has been removed and stored awaiting removal
Independent Tests by the ‘Vezel Research Institute’ in Holland shows that:
