4.
Are the floors slippery after cleaning?
​
The twin contra rotating brush action of the Rotowash floor cleaning machine effectively, not only removes the removes the dirt; but equally important any chemical residual used during the cleaning process. This is important because most conventional cleaning methods leave behind chemical residue on floor surfaces, attracting the dirt quicker. You can see this effect sometimes when the residual water left on the floors dries through evaporation, leaving behind the chemical residue, which will not evaporate. Hence we see smudge mark across cleaned floors when they are dry. You cannot see this occur on carpets as it is absorbed into the carpet fibres during drying, but it results in a large build up of chemical in your carpets over time. These chemicals are harmful to carpet fibres, the carpet life and the rooms environment. The more chemical left in carpets, the quicker the dirt returns, the more the cleaning cycle has to occur to keep them clean, using more chemicals and water. ​
Have you ever walked into a hotel room and smelt that stinky musky, damp odour. That is dirt trapped deep in the fibres of carpet; resulting from incorrect cleaning methods and equipment.

How does it work?
​
Rotowash’s the original twin contra rotating brush system – as each rotating Rotowash bristle leaves contact with the cleaning surface the dirt and waste water is instantly flicked internally onto the tough rotating pick-up drum, which deposits the grime into the waste tray, returning in the bristles being cleaned before coming into contact with the surface again. No residual splash onto surrounding areas, eliminating the need for secon
