2. CLEANING EQUIPMENTS
 MANUAL
 MECHANICAL

3. MANUAL CLEANING EQUIPMENTS
The type of equipments that are used
manually without an external power
source and relies on humans are
called Manual Cleaning Equipments

4. MANUAL CLEANING EQUIPMENTS
 Abrasives − They are the
sharpening stones or grit papers
used to polish metal or wooden
surfaces. There are various
abrasives depending upon the size
of grit and adhesion of grit particles
on the paper.
 Brushes − They are handheld flat
brushes with bristles to dust the
plain surfaces as well as the
corners. They come with non-slip
handles and stiff scratch-free
bristles. They help removing
stubborn dust.

5. MANUAL CLEANING EQUIPMENTS
 Housekeeping Trolley − This trolley
is large enough to keep all the guest
room and guest bathroom supplies in
an organized manner. It makes the
housekeeping staff to move it around
and carry large number of items in one
go while keeping and cleaning the
guest rooms.
 Dustbins − They are used to collect
daily garbage produced in the hotel.
 Dusting Cloths − They are soft cloths
used for wiping the surface dust.

6. MANUAL CLEANING EQUIPMENTS
 Scarifying machine − It is used for keeping
gardens, golf courts, and lawn in the hotel
premises well maintained. It cuts through the
turf, and removes moss and dead grass. It
helps grow spongy lawn. Scarifiers have fixed
knife blades attached to the rotary cylinder.
 Spray Bottles − They are used to spray water
or chemical solutions on the surface that
needs cleaning.
 Mops − There are various types of mops such
as string mops, flat mops, dust mops, and
synthetic mops. Mops are generally made of
flat cotton strings or heavy-duty sponges fixed
on the metal frames.

7. PARTS
 Lawn scarifiers use steel blades to
cut out thatch; hence it is also known
as de-thatching. In machines these
will rotate whilst manual tools like
the rolling lawn scarifier will not.
 Lawn thatch by its very nature is
removed more easily by this cutting
action and the result is a firmer lawn
that allows the passage of air,
nutrients and water easily into it.
Take scarifying a step further by
letting the scarifier blades cut into
the soil and you will open the soil
surface and make an ideal seed bed
for introducing new grass seed to
your lawn.

8. MECHANICAL CLEANING EQUIPMENTS
 The type of equipments that require an external
power source like electricity, steam , battery etc are
called Mechanical Cleaning Equipments

9. MECHANICAL CLEANING EQUIPMENTS
 Box Sweeper − It is electric
sweeper that consists of a friction
brush. The brush often is fit to
revolve vertically or horizontally,
when the equipment moves on
the surface. It can clean floors as
well as carpets. The wider the
better is the box sweeper brush.
 Vacuum Cleaner − It is again a
majorly used equipment in hotel
housekeeping. It comes with a
suction motor fit in a case, a
hose, and various attachment for
delicate as well as tough cleaning
requirements.

10. PARTS
 Box Sweeper- A carpet sweeper typically consists
of a small box. The base of the box has rollers and
brushes, connected by a belt or gears. There is
also a container for dirt. The arrangement is such
that, when pushed along a floor, the rollers turn and
force the brushes to rotate. The brushes sweep dirt
and dust from the floor into the container.

11. PARTS
 Vacuum Cleaner-An intake port,
which may include a variety of
cleaning accessories
 An exhaust port
 An electric motor
 A fan
 A porous bag (cloth or paper)

12. PARTS
 When you plug the vacuum cleaner in and turn it
on, this is what happens:
 The electric current operates the motor. The motor
is attached to the fan, which has angled blades
(like an airplane propeller).
 As the fan blades turn, they force air forward,
toward the exhaust port.
 When air particles are driven forward,
the density of particles (and therefore the air
pressure) increases in front of the fan and
decreases behind the fan.

13. MECHANICAL CLEANING EQUIPMENTS
 Polishing Machine − They are
used to add a shine to the floors of
most frequented areas of the hotel.
 Scrubber − It is a floor care
accessory that comes with
handheld electrically operated
scrubber. It is used where only
mopping doesn’t suffice. It can
scrub stubborn and sticky stains
on the floors of cafeterias,
restaurants, lobbies.

14. PARTS
 Polishing Machine-It is also known as a floor
burnisher if it is a high speed floor buffer with a
pad that rotates at over 1000 RPM.
 Closely resembling a large upright, wide-
based vacuum cleaner with handlebar controls and
requiring, until familiar with the machine, two-
handed steering, a floor buffer uses one or more
variable-speed circular rotary brushes to
dislodge dirt and dust from and apply a polished
finish to flat surfaces. They have a large, round
scrubbing pad which is spun in one direction by a
small motor, usually mounted directly over the
center of the pad.

15. MECHANICAL CLEANING EQUIPMENTS
 Vapor Cleaning Machine − They
are used where the chemical
odors are not desired. They are
equipped for continuous
operation. They heat up quickly
and work with low amount of
moisture. They kill the bed bugs
and their eggs, thus, yielding a
completely clean environment.

16. PARTS
 Steam cleaning, no chemicals
 "Flow" and "moisture density" controls
 Tank system allowing for continuous run operation
 Insulated aluminum boiler generating steam at
variable levels
 Calcification monitoring
 Steam pressure auto shut off
 Safety cap with pressure relief valve
