In a commercial organization, a large workforce is attributed to cleaning. Not only does that mean huge labor costs, it also incurs huge costs for suitable equipment. Many advanced commercial cleaning machines using smart technology are available these days. They are run on fuel or electricity and have complicated technological tools. While cleaning with them is quicker and less tedious, they also need to be maintained. Regular assessment of parts, risk checks, and strategies for improvement need to be implemented to keep them functioning. The efficiency of cleaning equipment is a top priority for commercial institutions. This will prevent sudden malfunctioning of equipment leading to work interventions and logistic failure.

Benefits of preventive strategies to maintain efficiency of cleaning equipment

Commercial organizations should opt for preventive measures and strategies to maintain the efficiency of cleaning equipment. This helps them to proactively address maintenance needs. Thus, the organization can make significant improvements in cleaning operations and overall efficiency. Here are some of the important benefits of implementing strategies for efficient maintenance-

1. 1. Saving time: Routine inspection of the functioning of equipment and assessment of their parts is of topmost importance. This helps to identify and address potential failures and breakdowns. This will save time to address issues in the event of a sudden malfunction.

• Increasing life expectancy: Regular preventive maintenance with inspections, lubrications, and calibration reduces wear and tear. This increases the efficiency and overall life expectancy of commercial cleaning machines.

1. Reducing safety risks: Regular inspection and maintenance tasks help to identify safety hazards. Corrective measures are thus taken to eliminate risk factors as much as possible.
2. Improvement in cleaning: Maintaining the functionality of equipment improves the overall quality of cleaning operations. Thus, the machines can operate at their best and provide effective cleaning results.

7 ways in which you can maintain the efficiency of your cleaning equipment:

1. Routine checks: Commercial cleaning equipment ranges from small machines like ASC Power Vac, and ASC ME Eureka to large, complicated machines like ASC Eureka M6 and ASC Eureka M5. Electric sweeper machines like ASC 125 and ASC EC51 can also be used. All these have varying parts and mechanisms ranging from simple to complicated. Thus, it is extremely important to keep a regular check on the functioning of their parts and performance. 
2. Repair and lubrication of necessary areas: This includes inspecting various parts, repairing worn-out ones, and ensuring that all moving parts are lubricated and functioning properly. Regular maintenance is crucial to keep up the longevity of equipment.
3. Proper Storage of equipment: Proper storage of commercial cleaning equipment in strategized places is essential to maintain optimal performance of all parts and features. Cleaning equipment should always be stored in a clean, cool, dry, and secure area, away from direct sunlight and extremes of temperature. Large commercial cleaning equipment with diverse ranges of motion and complicated parts like ASC Macro M10 and ASC Macro M40 need to be taken extra care of. Facility managers must ensure that all the cleaning staff members are properly trained as to the procedures of storage. They should also ensure that adequate storage space is given specific to each cleaning equipment.
4. Training in proper usage: Proper training in the use of commercial cleaning equipment is necessary to ensure the safety of the staff and the effectiveness of the cleaning process. Cleaning process of different kinds of areas, updating of training with each new equipment installed and safety precautions have to be gone through by managers. 
5. Battery care for electric equipment: In the case of battery-powered cleaning equipment like ASC EC51 and ASC EC52, it is extra important to keep the functioning of the batteries in check. To prevent uncalled-for interventions in the cleaning process, employees and managers should regularly check the manuals from the providers of the equipment. This will help them to know the type of battery powering the equipment and take measures for care accordingly.
6. Analyze previous breakdowns: Analyzing the history of previous equipment failures will greatly help to address the related issues and prevent future interventions.
7. Identifying equipment dependencies: Identifying the dependencies and interactions between various components of the equipment can help to schedule maintenance accordingly and achieve smooth interconnected operations.

Conclusion 

Keeping the grounds clean is very important to make a good impression on customers and a healthy work environment in commercial establishments. With the modern technology innovated in commercial cleaning, it is essential to strategically maintain the efficiency of cleaning equipment. These tips help to address key areas in enhancing the efficiency of commercial cleaning machines and increasing the durability of such PPE.
