Flooring in Aged Care is typically a combination of vinyl, Flotex or commercial cut pile carpet. A certain kind of vacuum cleaner is required to correctly maintain flooring for hygiene and appearance.
Flotex has a dense, low profile construction with a nylon pile, often with impervious backing and designed to withstand aggressive cleaning. In Aged Care premises many Cleaners incorrectly use high powered suction vacuum cleaners, e.g. barrels or backpacks, and actually struggle to vacuum it!
Flotex (flocked flooring) has been used extensively in Healthcare and Aged Care Facilities for decades and is widely accepted as fit for purpose in challenging environments where there is constant pedestrian activity, large amounts of wheeled traffic, and where the safety and comfort of residents and aged care workers is of prime importance.
IMPORTANT! Facility Managers You must vacuum Flotex® flooring using an Upright vacuum with a mechanically driven rotating brush!

It’s interesting to hear about the changing preferences in the Australian cleaning industry where ‘quality productivity’ and ‘presentation’ are becoming important factors rather than the traditional benchmark of ‘speed’ or ‘square metres per hour’.
Sometimes an overemphasis on productivity and speed can come at a cost of asset deterioration in the long term. In the cleaning industry, this might mean that certain cleaning methods or equipment that prioritise productivity over quality may actually cause more harm to the property in the long run, leading to increased maintenance and repair costs for the property owners.
Flooring is an investment and using the correct equipment to maintain the asset is vital.
SEBO XP30 Upright Vacuum Cleaner – Flat out vacuuming.
Floor care guides play a crucial role in helping property owners and cleaning professionals understand how to properly clean and maintain different types of flooring materials. These guides provide information on recommended cleaning methods, equipment, and chemicals, as well as tips on how to prevent damage and maintain the appearance of the flooring over time.
By regularly updating their floor care guides, manufacturers can ensure that the information they provide is relevant and accurate, and that it reflects best practices in the cleaning industry. This can help property owners and cleaning professionals make informed decisions about how to care for their flooring, leading to better outcomes for the flooring’s appearance and longevity.
Carpet Manufacturers recommend Upright Vacuums
Carpet manufacturers often recommend using an upright vacuum cleaner for commercial carpet/soft floor care for several reasons.
Firstly, upright vacuum cleaners are generally more powerful than other types of vacuum cleaners, such as backpack, barrel or stick vacuums. This means they are better able to remove dirt and debris from deep within the carpet fibres, which can help to extend the life of the carpet and prevent the build-up of dirt and allergens.
SEBO Professional G5 Upright Vacuum – Compact and sleek design.
Secondly, upright vacuums are often equipped with an electric rotating brush, which can help to dislodge dirt and debris from the carpet fibres, making it easier to pick up with the vacuum.
Thirdly, upright vacuums are typically more durable than other types of vacuum cleaners, making them well-suited to the demands and rigors of commercial cleaning.
Finally, using the recommended type of vacuum cleaner is often necessary to maintain the warranty on the carpet. Carpet manufacturers may specify the type of vacuum cleaner e.g. upright, that should be used to ensure that the carpet is cared for properly and in accordance with their guidelines.
Upright vacuum cleaners
Overall, using an upright vacuum cleaner can help to ensure that commercial carpets are cleaned effectively and efficiently, and that they are cared for in a way that extends their life-span and maintains their appearance.
SEBO Commercial Upright Vacuum Cleaners and Electric Powerbrushes are recommended by Carpet and Soft Floor Manufacturers for the correct care of their soft floor products because they have features and benefits which can suit certain pile styles and fibres as well as being ergonomic and user friendly.
When formulating a carpet maintenance plan for a facility it is important to refer to the carpet manufacturer’s warranty statements as well as the Australian and New Zealand standard AS/NZS 3733 – Textile floor coverings – Cleaning maintenance of residential and commercial carpeting.

When it comes to maintaining immaculate floors in busy environments, choosing the best commercial vacuum cleaner is critical. From hotels to hospitals, large offices to aged care facilities, the right commercial vacuum cleaner keeps spaces hygienic, improves indoor air quality and reduces maintenance costs.
Why SEBO Commercial Vacuums Stand Out

Quiet Operation – Essential for noise-sensitive environments such as aged care, hotels, hospitals and schools.
Durability & Easy Maintenance – Robust German construction and readily available quick-change parts reduce downtime.

Most importantly, variable suction and specific hard floor heads for mixed hard flooring surfaces.
Environment – A hotel vacuum cleaner needs to be quiet and easy to manoeuvre around furniture like the SEBO D9 barrel vacuum cleaner.

The SEBO XP20 is Sensitive Choice® Approved which is great for asthma and allergy sufferers.
Filtration System – Look for S-Class or HEPA type filtration to improve indoor air quality and protect Operators. All SEBO vacuum cleaners fulfil high performance filtration requirement with hygienic debris disposal.
Service & Parts Availability – A service-friendly vacuum reduces maintenance costs and extends the machine’s lifespan.

A properly maintained carpet reduces indoor pollutants and allergens because of its particle trapping effect.
Lastly, a properly maintained carpet reduces overall costs of operation.
Commercial carpet cleaning companies who do not implement cleaning programs or use incorrect cleaning equipment appear to do so for two main reasons: budget constraints and poor cleaning knowledge.
Companies who just surface clean with ‘suction-only’ vacuum cleaners perform a grave disservice to their customers
