How to Clean an Airport Terminal
Not only are airports huge spaces, but by their nature, they comprise a range of different areas, which are used for a wide variety of different purposes.
This means juggling the cleaning requirements of everything from checkpoints to food areas, all at once.
But, achieving a high standard of cleanliness is a core part of customer experience, and is key to cementing a strong brand reputation. Plus, with a clean and organised airport, you can help secure high trust from your consumers, in the quality and dependability of your service.
So, to help you manage all the cleaning requirements of an airport terminal, our cleaning experts have created a comprehensive cleaning guide. This is split into the different areas of an airport terminal, and details their recommendations for the best suited commercial cleaning machines for each area.
Cleaning Waiting Areas
Recommended cleaning equipment: vacuum cleaners and steam cleaners.
Vacuum cleaners
Vacuum cleaners are a quick, convenient and effective solution for cleaning carpets, upholstery and hard floors. They can quickly remove any dust and debris that has built up in these areas.
Plus, they work quietly and efficiently, meaning they can be used during airport opening hours with minimal disruption.
At Alpha Power Cleaners, we offer a wide range of vacuum cleaners, for hire throughout the Midlands. To find out more about the different types of vacuum cleaners that we have available, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Steam cleaners
Alpha Power Cleaners’ range of steam cleaners ensure hygienic, quick and precision cleaning, without the use of any harsh chemicals.
They can quickly remove stains and kill up to 99.99% of bacteria. Plus, their advanced technology means that you can achieve these results through a compact machine, which doesn’t require either harsh chemicals or large volumes of water. In fact, they can be used on both carpets and soft furnishings alike.
With these two pieces of equipment working in conjunction, you can easily keep your waiting areas perfectly clean, even during the busiest periods of the year.
Cleaning Walking Areas
Recommended cleaning equipment: floor scrubber dryers and floor sweepers.
Floor scrubber dryers
Floor scrubber dryers are highly versatile pieces of cleaning equipment, which are suitable for various applications and floor types. At Alpha Power Cleaners, our range of hire floor scrubber dryers are able to wash and dry floors in just one pass. As a result, they are ideally suited for daily usage.
Floor scrubber dryers offer an extremely effective way to clean walking areas. They wash, scrub and dry floors all in one go, meaning they can be used multiple times throughout the day, or even while the airport is still open.
Then, depending on the size of the walking area (and your airport terminal) you can also select specific features for your floor scrubber dryer. These include walk behind scrubbers, ride on scrubbers, and step on scrubbers.
Floor Scrubber Dryers for Hire
Floor sweepers
Floor Sweepers are another great, versatile piece of cleaning equipment and are extremely compatible with floor scrubber dryers. They are precisely designed for quickly cleaning an area that produces daily dust and dirt.
They quickly and thoroughly collect dust, dirt and small debris from large areas. Plus, floor sweepers are extremely easy to use and are available in both manual and powered options (depending on the size of your walking areas).
So, while the floor sweepers tackle the dust and debris, you can follow it with a floor scrubber dryer, to achieve perfectly clean, sparkling floors for your customers and staff.
At Alpha Power Cleaners, we also offer both floor scrubber dryers and floor sweepers for hire. Our team are trusted by clients across the Midlands, to deliver premium solutions that fulfil all their specific requirements.
Cleaning Checkpoints
Recommended cleaning equipment: vacuum cleaners and steam cleaners.
Vacuum cleaners
Vacuum cleaners provide a convenient and effective way to remove dust and debris from carpets, upholstery and hard floors. Their high performance, coupled with their ease of use, makes them ideally suited for cleaning areas like checkpoints, which experience high daily traffic.
They are also completely unobtrusive, meaning you can use them to quickly tackle any dirt that has built up during busy periods, without disturbing customers that are still at the checkpoint.
Steam cleaners
Once the vacuum cleaners have tackled the dirt and debris, steam cleaners can be used to quickly and effectively remove any stains.
These solutions are ideally suited for customer-facing areas like checkpoints, as they kill up to 99.99% of bacteria, without requiring any harsh chemicals.
Alpha Power Cleaners’ range of machines includes both vacuum cleaners and steam cleaners available to hire. With these two machines working together, you can ensure your checkpoints are kept perfectly clean for every passenger that passes through.
Cleaning Retail Units / Food Areas
Recommended cleaning equipment: wet/dry vacuum cleaners and steam cleaners.
Wet/dry vacuum cleaners
In retail units and food areas, you’ll experience a lot of spills (both food and liquids). So, with a professional vacuum cleaner at your disposal, you can help your team quickly and easily address this mess throughout the day.
Vacuum cleaners are quick and easy to use, and are an unobstructed cleaning solution, even in busy areas. Plus, wet/dry machines can also pick up spillages, which provides an even faster way to clean up small spills.
Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaners for Hire
Steam cleaners
Then for larger spills, Alpha Power Cleaners’ steam cleaners are available to hire.
These are ideally suited to retail units and food areas, helping site managers ensure hygienic, quick and precision cleaning.
What’s more, not only can these cleaners remove stains and kill up to 99.99% of bacteria, but they can do so without requiring any harsh chemicals. As a result, they’re a great choice for customer-facing areas, and spaces where food is being consumed, or children are present.
At Alpha Power Cleaners, we are commercial cleaning specialists, offering an extensive range of solutions for hire.
These include solutions to suit all site types and use cases, available via flexible hiring contracts, and delivery throughout the Midlands.
