网曝门 Services Does Medical Facility Cleaning In Painted Post, NY 14870When Flagship Facility Services was first awarded the cleaning contract for MCO, Barton spent two months scoping out the airport to determine the cleaning tools and equipment purchases necessary to maintain the facility, including the floors and carpets. The airport featured large, open spaces that were frequently packed with travelers and airport staff.For this floor-care job, Barton purchased nine stand-on HEPA vacuums, two stand-on carpet extractors and two stand-on burnishers.听鈥淭he stand-on vacuum is a very effective tool when you鈥檙e servicing large, open areas,鈥� says Barton. 鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 perform the detail work, but when you鈥檙e talking about a space that鈥檚 25 to 30 feet wide, there鈥檚 a lot of ground to cover in a short amount of time, and the stand-on unit meets that challenge.鈥滱t MCO, stand-on vacuums are used both landside 鈥� at the ticketing counters, baggage claims and rental car services 鈥� and airside 鈥� at the boarding gates.In addition to vacuuming, MCO hires Flagship to spot clean carpets daily. The stand-on machine鈥檚 compact footprint and tight turning radius make it ideal for daily cleaning in busy airport environments.鈥淭he stand-on extractor is a great companion to quarterly truck-mounted cleaning,鈥� says Barton. 鈥淚t鈥檚 very effective at cleaning small areas.鈥滱lthough carpeting covers approximately 60 percent of MCO, the remaining 40 percent is hard flooring that requires the use of high-speed burnishers. Stand-on machines work for this purpose as well; Flagship uses the stand-on burnishers primarily on polished limestone.
