Escalator steps sit outside the cleaning contract because an escalator is equipment, and outside the elevator and escalator maintenance contract because cleaning steps is considered cosmetic. It is one of the busiest surfaces in your building, it spends half its life inside the machine, and it is the only floor with no method, no interval and no record.
We looked for the best escalator cleaning programs in the world.
Twenty-five estates, on every inhabited continent. Only a few publish enough about what they spend and how often they clean to be measured at all. The two clearest are below, measured directly against the EscaTEQ Method.
Some escalator cleaning machines carry up to 35 liters of liquid for one cleaning.
Developed from the start as a low moisture, tread surface maintenance cleaning process.
Higher cleaning frequency naturally and noticeably improves the aesthetics of a facility,
with better records, lower spend and less disruption.
See the cost comparison studies above.
One person operational. The tools are easier to use than a broom and require less effort than a mop.
On a clean sample, under laboratory conditions, before anyone ever stood on them.
Your cleaning contractor treats it as equipment. Your escalator contractor treats it as a floor. Neither one owns it.
The escalator steps between them are in nobody’s. Same building, same feet. One of them has a cleaning record and one does not.
Not a claim that the work was done. Evidence against the asset, carrying a date, a time, an operator and a condition rating.
