How to Clean Altro Safety Flooring
Altro safety floors are built to reduce slips in kitchens, bathrooms and wet rooms. But the textured surface also traps dirt that mops can’t reach. Duplex machines offer a more effective way to clean these surfaces using low-moisture scrubbing and immediate water recovery.
How to Clean Altro Flooring in Commercial Spaces
Altro safety flooring is commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms and clinical environments. Its embedded grains and textured surface help prevent slips but also make cleaning more difficult.
To maintain safety and hygiene, you need a cleaning method that reaches into the surface texture without damaging the finish or leaving moisture behind.
1
Fill the tank with clean water
Fill the tank with clean water. Duplex machines clean effectively without chemicals, but if detergent is used, make sure it meets Altro’s guidelines (pH 7.5 to 10, no pine oil).
2
Apply water or steam evenly
Use the trigger to release solution while moving forward.
3
Cleaning with twin brushes
These lift grease and grime from textured surfaces while preserving the floor’s slip-resistant performance.
4
Recover dirty water instantly
The floor is left clean and dry in minutes, even in wet areas.
Need disinfection?
Steam cleaning is ideal for kitchens, healthcare zones and wet areas where disinfection is required.
