ORBOT and i-mop: Powerful Floor Cleaning Duo

Discover the dynamic cleaning duo: the i-mop floor scrubber dryer and the ORBOT restoration powerhouse. When combined, these two powerful tools can supercharge your cleaning routine, delivering exceptional results.

In this article, we explore the combination of ORBOT and i-mop, which together create a winning duo for deep cleaning, restoration, and maintenance cleaning. We’ll take a look at their unique features, advantages and real-world applications that make them an ideal choice for cleaning small to medium spaces.

The ORBOT Range

The ORBOT range includes 3 multipurpose floor cleaning machines renowned for their ability to clean, restore, and maintain various floor types including soft and hard surfaces. The range includes the ORBOT SLiM, The ORBOT Vibe and the ORBOT SprayBorg.

One of the standout features of the ORBOT product line is its exceptional capability to achieve deep cleaning on various floor types, all thanks to its innovative Orbital Dual-Action Technology. This technology combines orbital vibrations with rotational cleaning, resulting in a heightened level of surface agitation.

These cleaning machines also provide significantly greater overall cleaning power when compared to standard single-disc machines. This is evident when you compare the RPM x brush pressure (total cleaning power) of each machine. Thanks to these factors, the ORBOT outperforms traditional single-disc machines by a substantial margin, translating to increased efficiency and, ultimately, superior results.

The ORBOT Vibe can handle various cleaning tasks such as cleaning, stripping, and restoring floors, making it a comprehensive all-in-one solution.

Specialist Applications of the ORBOT

The ORBOT's versatility extends to handling various specialist applications. Some notable tasks that the ORBOT range excels at include:

Polishing Natural Stone with Diamond Pads: The ORBOT's orbital technology makes it a perfect choice for achieving a high-quality, polished finish on natural stone surfaces.

Stripping Sealer Off Sealed Floors: When it comes to removing sealer from sealed floors, the ORBOT's powerful cleaning capabilities ensure efficient and effective results.

Carpet Encapsulation Cleaning: The ORBOT's versatility also extends to carpet cleaning through encapsulation, providing thorough and gentle cleaning for carpeted surfaces.

Tile and Grout Cleaning: With its orbital technology, the ORBOT is a great option as a tile cleaning machine and can tackle tough grime and dirt on tile and grout, restoring their original shine.

The i-mop Range

While the ORBOT scrubber machine excels in deep cleaning, it lacks an extraction method. This is where the i-mop comes into play, elevating the ORBOT's cleaning regime.

The i-mop range includes flexible upright floor scrubbers designed to scrub almost every hard flooring type. The innovative floor scrubber dryer range not only speeds up the cleaning process by six times compared to conventional mopping but also achieves a remarkable 97% dirt removal rating when compared to a mop and bucket.

The i-mop also enhances safety by rapidly drying floors, reducing the risk of slips and falls and uses up to 75% less water and chemicals compared to traditional scrubber dryers.

The i-mop range includes:

- The i-mop Lite

The smallest of the i-mop family is the i-mop lite. The small but powerful floor scrubber is designed for cleaning small-to-medium commercial, retail and healthcare environments — and larger homes.

- The i-mop XL

The i-mop XL is a heavy-duty auto scrubber that cleans floors faster, easier and with better results than any traditional mop. Available in Basic, Plus, and Pro models, i-mop XL is ideal for small to medium commercial spaces.

- The i-mop XXL

The i-mop XXL is the largest of the i-mop family and excels in cleaning large open spaces or up and down isles.

The i-mop range offers Basic, Plus, and Pro models, each tailored to specific needs and features required for your space. This means that there are different versions of the i-mop available, and you can choose the one that best suits your requirements based on the features it offers.

Uses and Applications for the i-mop

Suitable for Most Hard Floor Types: The i-mop is suitable to use on hard floor types including porcelain tiles, natural stone, timber, vinyl and non-slip floors.

Efficient Extraction after Deep Cleaning: The i-mop serves as an ideal extraction tool, swiftly removing moisture and residues left behind after thorough cleaning processes with machines such as the ORBOT. The extraction method also ensures that floors are completely dry moments after using it.

Regular Maintenance: Beyond its extraction function, the i-mop's user-friendly attributes make it an excellent choice for routine floor upkeep, ensuring consistent cleanliness in various settings.

How to Use the i-mop and ORBOT Combination together

To make the most of the i-mop and ORBOT duo, it's important to understand their ideal applications. This combination excels in small to medium spaces, where you can begin by thoroughly cleaning, polishing, or stripping floors with the ORBOT. Subsequently, the i-mop can be used to further clean and extract any remaining residue. The reason for this is that the ORBOT range will leave water and residue on the floor post-use, and utilizing the i-mop afterward eliminates the need for manual mopping and drying.

However, for larger-scale areas such as shopping centers, using both products might not be the most time-efficient choice. In such cases, consider using the i-mop on its own, as this is where its capabilities truly shine.

Step 1: Deep Cleaning and Restoration with the ORBOT

When you need to thoroughly clean or restore different types of floors, the ORBOT is your go-to machine. It's versatile and can work on various floor surfaces, both soft and hard. The ORBOT's specialty lies in its capacity to efficiently clean, revitalize, and keep floors in excellent condition, making it the first choice for tasks that require significant improvements.

Step 2: Enhancing and Finalizing with the i-mop

After the ORBOT's thorough cleaning, the i-mop comes in to enhance the process. The i-mop's main job is to remove any leftover moisture, cleaning solution, or debris on hard floors that the ORBOT couldn't handle. This step makes the floor look better, reduces the risk of slips, and speeds up the drying process.

The Best Part: Use One Machine or Both

You can use either the ORBOT or the i-mop independently, depending on what your job needs. If you're doing regular upkeep, the i-mop can keep things clean and neat. If you want to do a deep clean in a particular area, you can use the ORBOT by itself as well. It gives you the flexibility to decide which machine suits your specific task.

While having both machines can be advantageous, it's not always necessary. What's crucial is to purchase the machine that aligns with your specific needs.

Real-World Example

Numerous contract cleaners have adopted the successful pairing of ORBOT and i-mop for their powerful cleaning tasks. These cleaners use both machines because ORBOT and i-mop bring together a great mix of effectiveness and portability whilst still delivering outstanding results in different cleaning situations.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the ORBOT and i-mop combination forms a powerful team for cleaning small to medium spaces. Combining the ORBOT's deep cleaning strength with the i-mop's extraction abilities ensures efficient and effective results in diverse cleaning situations. If you're looking for exceptional cleaning performance, the ORBOT and i-mop duo unquestionably deliver outstanding results.
