FAQs

Cleaning accessories are tools and items used to help remove dirt, dust, and grime. They’re often used alongside cleaning chemicals.

They also include items designed to extend the lifespan of cleaning machinery, such as replacement dust bags.

Vacuum cleaners are widely used for cleaning both domestic and workplace settings.

At SMI, we stock a range of vacuum cleaners suitable for use in the workplace, such as Henry Hoovers, backpack vacuum cleaners, and wet and dry vacuums.

Other machines used for cleaning include window vacs, pressure washers, steam cleaners, and carpet cleaners or extractors.

You can group cleaning equipment and machines into 5 categories or types:

  1. Sweeping
  2. Scrubbing
  3. Vacuuming
  4. Burnishing (polishing)
  5. Extracting (carpet cleaning)

If cleaning machines and accessories aren’t cleaned after use, they can spread dirt and bacteria from one area of the workplace to another.

This is problematic in any workplace, but especially in hygiene-sensitive environments like food manufacturing.

Correctly cleaning and storing machinery is also key to keeping it working efficiently and extending its lifespan.
