Common Cleaning Challenges

Heavy build up of grease, oil and road film

Vehicles and shop floors collect grease, oil, salt and dirt from daily operations. This increases slip hazards and slows down maintenance work.

Graffiti, carbon buildup and bug residue

Fleet vehicles, shelters, stations and signage often require frequent removal of graffiti, tar, carbon and bugs.

Odours in waste trucks, bins and washrooms

Odour causing bacteria build up in garbage rooms, waste collection trucks, drains and washrooms.

Dust accumulation in garages and parts areas

Shops struggle with airborne dust which affects air quality and slows down productivity.

Tight aisles inside buses, trains and trucks

Traditional vacuums cannot reach narrow aisles and small seating areas in public transit vehicles.

Slip and fall risks in maintenance shops

Wet floors, oil spills and tracked in grime create serious safety hazards.

Multiple cleaning needs across vehicles and facilities

Exterior washing, interior cleaning, degreasing, disinfecting and odour control all require different solutions.
