Why Should I Use a Detergent?
Detergents are able to clean better than water alone because they are formulated to mix with soil, forming an emulsion that can then be effortlessly rinsed. On a molecular level, a detergent has a side that is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water, and a side that is hydrophilic, meaning it is water-loving. The side that repels water attracts and binds with the soil while the other water-loving side forms a bond with the water. This allows the detergent to act as a bridge holding the dirt, grime, oil, and soil in a suspension with the water. The detergent is what helps lift the dirt from the floor as it is scrubbed.
How are our Detergents Packaged?
Ultra-Concentrated:
For the ease of use, storage, and handling, we now offer many of our detergents in ultra-concentrated form. Our concentrated formulas make it possible to keep a significant supply of cleaner in a limited storage area. Two small cases are the equivalent of one big 55-gallon drum. When buying concentrated detergents, you do not have the risk of a drum rupturing or leaking. The manageable bottles are also easier to measure the amount that is needed and keep track of what has been used. Our concentrated detergents include Clean and Green, Blue Blast, Max Force, and Super Citrus Detergent.
Ready to Use:
Our ready to use formulas are pre-measured and mixed, available for shipment in 55-gallon drums.
CLEAN2O:
Factory Cleaning Equipment offers customers a convenient pay as you go method of buying detergent called CLEAN2O. This system reduces chemical waste and simplifies the filling process. A tote of cleaning chemical is placed at your facility at no charge and you are then charged for the chemical as it is used. There is absolutely no up-front cost. With the chemical portion control system there is virtually no waste filling equipment and mop buckets. Regular checks and recalibration ensure optimum results. Another optimal feature of the CLEAN2O program is that your machines will get a free machine check at every visit, including free brush rotations, squeegee flips, and overall machine check with a written report of any potential problems.
