How to clean Flotex in Aged Care

Current vacuum not cleaning Flotex?

Flooring in Aged Care is typically a combination of vinyl, Flotex or commercial cut pile carpet. A SEBO Upright vacuum cleaner correctly maintains 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. Often in Aged Care premises Cleaners use high suction vacuum cleaners. The incorrect use of barrels or backpacks cause Operators to physically struggle to vacuum it!

Flotex (flocked flooring) is used in Australian Healthcare and Aged Care Facilities. It is widely accepted as fit for purpose in challenging environments where there is constant foot traffic, large amounts of wheeled traffic, and where the safety and comfort of residents and aged care workers is of prime importance.

IMPORTANT! Facility Managers. Vacuum Flotex® flooring using an Upright vacuum with a mechanically driven rotating brush

Long Term Asset Maintenance Deep Clean Value

SEBO Dart 2 Interface

What do you know about upright vacuum cleaners?

It’s interesting to hear of the changing preferences in the Australian cleaning industry. Where ‘quality productivity’ and ‘presentation’ are becoming more important factors rather than ‘speed’ or ‘square metres per hour’ cleaning times.

Sometimes an overemphasis on productivity and speed can come at a cost of asset deterioration in the long term. In the cleaning industry, certain cleaning methods or equipment that prioritise productivity over quality may actually cause more harm. For the property this can lead increased maintenance and repair costs for the property owners in the long run.

Flooring is an investment and using the correct equipment to maintain the flooring asset is vital.

Floor care guides play a crucial role in helping property owners and cleaners understand how to properly clean and maintain the flooring asset. There are different types of flooring materials and these care 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 the 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. For example, backpack, barrel or stick vacuums. This means uprights are better able to remove dirt and debris from deep within the carpet fibres. Removing harmful debris 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. Brush rollers can help to dislodge dirt and debris from the carpet fibres. This allows easier debris pick up with the vacuum.

Thirdly, upright vacuums are typically more durable than other types of vacuum cleaners. Well-suited to the demands and rigors of commercial cleaning.

Finally, using the recommended type of vacuum cleaner is often necessary to maintain 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.

Choosing the Best Commercial Vacuum Cleaner: Why SEBO Leads the Way

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

SEBO is a German brand renowned worldwide for its engineering excellence. Every German commercial vacuum in the SEBO range combines quiet operation, superior filtration and service-friendly design – making it a preferred choice for professional cleaners.

Key benefits of SEBO commercial vacuums include:

  • Precision-engineered brush rollers and high-efficiency motors lift soil from carpets including carpet tiles. This combination removes embedded grit and dust that regular surface cleaning can miss, reducing wear on the fibres and maintaining consistent appearance across large commercial areas.
  • Advanced Filtration – SEBO vacuums capture fine dust and allergens, ideal for hospitals and aged care facilities. The SEBO XP20 Automatic Commercial Vacuum is Sensitive Choice® Approved with high performance HEPA grade filtration for improved indoor air quality (IAQ)
  • 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.
  • Ergonomic Design – Lightweight handling for staff and powerful cleaning performance reduces operator effort.
SEBO XP10 and SEBO D8 Turbo Barrel Vacuum

How to Choose the Best Commercial Vacuum Cleaner

Selecting the best commercial vacuum cleaner, consider these factors:

  1. Flooring Types – Choose a vacuum with a rotary brush roller that features a multi level brush height adjustment which include all of SEBO’s upright vacuum cleaners and the SEBO D9 Barrel which comes with the ET-1 Powerhead as standard to suit Flotex / Carpet Tiles / Carpet Planks / Axminster. Most importantly, variable suction and specific hard floor heads for mixed hard flooring surfaces.
  2. Environment – A hotel vacuum cleaner needs to be quiet and easy to manoeuvre around furniture like the SEBO D9 barrel vacuum cleaner. A vacuum for hospitals must meet strict hygiene standards. The upright vacuum SEBO XP20 Upright Vacuum is ideal. The SEBO XP20 is Sensitive Choice® Approved which is great for asthma and allergy sufferers.
  3. Size of the Area – A commercial vacuum for large areas should offer a wide cleaning path and long power cords. SEBO BS Series Commercial Vacuums and SEBO XP Upright Series.
  4. 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.
  5. Service & Parts Availability – A service-friendly vacuum reduces maintenance costs and extends the machine’s lifespan.

  • Hotels: SEBO’s hotel vacuum cleaners deliver powerful yet quiet performance to keep guest areas spotless without disturbing guests.
  • Hospitals & Healthcare: SEBO’s 4-step filtration system consists of: 1. Multi-layer UltraTM filter bag 2. Micro hygiene filter 3. Exhaust filter and 4. Sealable bag for hygienic disposal which makes them an excellent vacuum for hospitals and aged care facilities.
  • Large Areas: Models with wide cleaning heads and long cables make SEBO the ideal commercial vacuum for large areas like conference centres, airports or schools.

Choosing the best commercial vacuum cleaner involves looking at performance, filtration, noise level and ease of maintenance. SEBO’s range of German commercial vacuums are designed to excel in every one of these areas, making them the preferred commercial vacuum cleaner for hotels, hospitals and large facilities worldwide.

A common mistake when it comes to Commercial Carpet Cleaning

Failure to have in place a carpet maintenance program

Carpet Cleaner Dry SEBO Duo CRB Machine
SEBO Duo Dry Powder Carpet Cleaner

Commercial Carpet Cleaning – qualified experts know a proper carpet care program extends the useful life of the carpet while maintaining a high appearance level, reducing water usage and dumping of chemicals.

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
