Greasy industrial floors or streaks after cleaning? Common mistakes and how Rocket helps solve them
Wrong dilution, short contact time or the wrong method: the most common industrial floor-cleaning mistakes and how Rocket helps.
Mistake 1: using one dilution for every cleaning job
A common issue in industrial floor cleaning is applying the same dilution rate to every level of soil. Light oily residues, heavy grease build-up and demanding industrial dirt do not always require the same concentration.
Rocket addresses this with three clear dilution options: 10 ml per 1 litre for routine cleaning, 20 ml per 1 litre for more intensive soil, and 50 ml per 1 litre for demanding industrial use. This makes dosing easier to match to actual site conditions.
Mistake 2: cutting the contact time too short
In busy operations, contact time is often reduced to speed up the job. On greasy or oil-loaded floors, this can lead to incomplete soil breakdown and inconsistent cleaning results across the area.
With Rocket, the indicated contact time in a scrubber dryer is 5 minutes. Allowing this time supports the emulsification of heavy oils and grease without streaks and improves the subsequent removal phase.
Mistake 3: using equipment that does not fit the task
Another frequent problem is trying to clean industrial flooring with tools or methods that do not match the surface type or workload. This often means slower work, uneven outcomes and difficulty maintaining a consistent standard.
Rocket is specifically suited to professional use with scrubber dryers and single-disc machines. This makes it a practical solution for daily maintenance of concrete, resin and porcelain stoneware floors.
Mistake 4: overlooking local water conditions and the final removal step
Even the right product can underperform if the solution is prepared without considering local water hardness or if the final removal stage is rushed. Once the soil has been emulsified, it still needs to be removed properly from the surface.
With Rocket, the process remains straightforward: dilute according to the table, apply with a cloth, sponge or professional tool, leave to act, then remove with a clean cloth or rinse with water. A consistent procedure helps maintain reliable daily results.
FAQ
Why does an industrial floor still feel greasy after cleaning?
Typical causes include the wrong dilution, insufficient contact time or an unsuitable cleaning method. Rocket is designed to emulsify heavy oils and grease when correctly diluted and applied.
Can Rocket help reduce streaks?
Yes. One of Rocket’s stated strengths is emulsifying heavy oils without leaving streaks.
When should the 50 ml per litre industrial dilution be used?
It is intended for intensive industrial use when the soil load is heavier than standard daily maintenance conditions.
