Introducing the EscaTEQ Method™
A new standard for escalator cleaning.
Escalator cleaning is one of the last unstandardized processes in modern facilities.
HVAC is scheduled. Elevators are tracked. Fire systems are inspected.
Escalators are still cleaned inconsistently, reactively, and without documentation.
The EscaTEQ Method changes that.
The toothbrush for your escalator™
Clean more often. Spend smarter. See the difference every day.
One person. No external power. No disruption.
What This Actually Is
The EscaTEQ Method is a defined cleaning system, powered by specialized tools.
• Defined condition classification (A / B / C)
• Defined cleaning frequency based on traffic
• Low-moisture, surface-only cleaning protocols
• CMMS-trackable, repeatable execution
The result is consistent, auditable, and scalable escalator cleaning.
How often should you clean your escalators?
Frequency changes everything. Clean in minutes, not hours—done regularly, not occasionally.
Start with what you see:
Class A — Restorative Condition
Heavy contamination, embedded debris, loss of step definition, early signs of surface degradation. → Requires initial restorative cleaning before entering maintenance protocol.
Class B — Transitional Condition
Visible dirt, staining, and signs of inconsistent prior cleaning.
→ Requires 2 initial cleaning cycles before stabilization and method integration.
Class C — Maintained Condition
Light surface-level contamination with clear step definition.
→ Begin standard maintenance protocol immediately.
Choose your cleaning frequency based on daily passenger traffic.
Cleaning Frequency Is Driven by Traffic — Not Guesswork
(Just like miles determine oil changes, rider traffic determines cleaning frequency.)
Less than 500 riders per escalator per day
→ Clean Quarterly (Every 3 Months)
(Class-A office buildings, corporate HQs, government facilities)
500 – 1,500 riders per escalator per day
→ Clean Monthly
(Office towers, hospitals, department stores)
1,500 – 5,000 riders per escalator per day
→ Clean Every Two Weeks
(Regional shopping centers, large hotels, casinos)
5,000 – 20,000 riders per escalator per day
→ Clean Weekly
(Busy airports, high-traffic shopping centers, transit hubs)
20,000+ riders per escalator per day
→ Clean Daily (Off-Peak)
(Major metro systems, international airports, rail terminals)
