Heavy Soiling – 1:20

The matching professional heavy-duty scrubber dryer formulation recommends:

1 part detergent to 20 parts water

for heavily soiled floors.

This equates approximately to:

10L working solution – 475ml detergent

20L working solution – 950ml detergent

40L working solution – 1.9L detergent

For severe contamination, allow appropriate dwell time and mechanical agitation before recovery.

Always follow the current CleanThru Technical Data Sheet and your scrubber dryer manufacturer’s chemical instructions.

Light & General Cleaning – Up to 1:150

For lighter contamination, the matching formulation can be diluted up to:

1 part detergent to 150 parts water

At this concentration:

10L working solution – approximately 66ml

20L working solution – approximately 132ml

40L working solution – approximately 265ml

This gives Power Scrub considerable flexibility between routine industrial cleaning and stronger periodic deep cleaning.

Excellent Cost Per Working Litre

At a 1:150 dilution, one 5L container produces approximately:

755 litres of total working solution.

A 2 × 5L case therefore provides approximately:

1,510 litres of usable floor-cleaning solution

at the lighter recommended concentration.

This is why professional scrubber dryer chemicals should be compared by cost per working litre, not simply by the price of the 5L container.

Deep Cleaning with a Scrubber Dryer

For heavily contaminated floors:

1. Prepare

Sweep or vacuum loose debris from the floor.

2. Dose

Prepare Power Scrub at the appropriate dilution for the contamination level.

3. Apply & Agitate

Run the scrubber dryer over the area using the correct brush or floor pad.

For severe ingrained contamination, consider an initial scrub-only pass with the vacuum switched off where the machine and application permit.

This gives the chemical and mechanical action additional time to work.

4. Recover

Activate the recovery system and collect the loosened contamination and dirty solution.

5. Final Pass

Complete another cleaning or clean-water recovery pass where required.

Choosing the Correct Brush or Floor Pad

Chemical alone doesn’t determine the final cleaning result.

The correct combination is:

Chemical + dilution + dwell time + brush/pad + mechanical pressure + recovery

For heavily contaminated industrial flooring, choosing a more aggressive brush or appropriate floor pad can significantly improve results.

NWCE can help match the correct brush or pad to both your machine and flooring.

Power Scrub vs Neutral Scrubber Dryer Detergent

Choose Power Scrub

For:

• Heavy dirt
• Grease
• Industrial contamination
• Warehouses
• Workshops
• Factories
• Manufacturing
• Periodic deep cleaning

Choose CleanThru Neutral

For:

• Daily maintenance
• Sensitive flooring
• Polished floors
• Offices
• Education
• Healthcare
• Retail
• Light-to-medium contamination

Using the strongest chemical available is not automatically the best cleaning method.

The correct detergent should be matched to the floor and contamination.

Power Scrub vs Heavy Duty Multi-Surface Degreaser

These products also perform different jobs.

Power Scrub

Best where the priority is machine cleaning large floor areas with a scrubber dryer.

CleanThru Heavy Duty Multi-Surface Degreaser

Best where you need a versatile heavy-duty chemical for:

• Walls
• Machinery
• Equipment
• Kitchens
• Floors
• General degreasing
• Manual cleaning

For heavily contaminated industrial floors, NWCE can advise which product will give the better result.

Important Surface Compatibility

Power Scrub is a strong alkaline cleaner, not a neutral maintenance detergent.

The matching heavy-duty formulation is not recommended for routine maintenance of:

• Terrazzo
• Aluminium
• Galvanised surfaces

and strong alkaline detergents should not automatically be used on polished or sensitive floor finishes.

Always check floor compatibility before treatment.

Where flooring is unknown, test an inconspicuous area first.
