Sustainability and cleaning: how can I use my machine in an eco-friendly way?
No less than 75% of a cleaning machine's carbon footprint comes from its energy consumption during use. So while buying a durable machine is a good first step, what really matters is using it responsibly. Here are our tips for using your cleaning device in an environmentally conscious way.
Tip #1: Power to the Cleaner (and their ally)
Since 75% of a cleaning machine's carbon footprint comes from how it's used, the cleaner plays a key role. Power to the Cleaner! Many machines feature an eco mode for optimal energy consumption. When used properly, your device will last longer and waste less water and energy. That's why it's so important to work with a good machine partner, one that trains the cleaner and offers strong maintenance support.
With our app¿-¿BIP (BOMA in the Pocket)¿-¿as well as our online videos, we aim to provide accessible help to all users. The chat function even helps us avoid unnecessary interventions and reduces the waiting time for repairs. In the end, a machine that is well used and well maintained lasts longer and generates less waste.
Tip #2: Prevent machine downtime
But wait, there's more: special tracking tools can help prevent machine downtime. After all, what good is meeting sustainability criteria by buying the right equipment if the cleaner avoids using it due to a lack of training? A tracker allows you to identify and resolve that issue.
Tip #3: Use eco-friendly or environmentally beneficial detergents
One last thing to keep in mind is that the products used in your machine are a major factor. Often, water alone is enough for mechanical cleaning. But sometimes, chemical products are necessary to achieve optimal results. We offer a variety of sustainable solutions based on the type of machine and its application. A great example is our Probio detergents: the first cleaning products in the world to have a positive impact on both water and the environment.
