Encyclopaedia Of Cleaning Technology & Terminology

Eric Brown, author of An Encyclopaedia Of Cleaning Technology & Terminology and five other books on carpet cleaning and maintenance and Cleaning Specifications – their preparation and implementation, has produced this very valuable Encyclopaedia defining and describing over five hundred technical terms in common use in the cleaning industry.  All are listed in easy-to-find alphabetical order, cross referenced where applicable.  Many technical terms are illustrated, particularly in the section dealing with ‘Detergents’.

Technical terms relating to both hard and soft floors, detergents, polishes and seals, disinfectants, both electrical and non-electrical equipment, organisations and many other subjects are detailed.

A section that will be of great interest, particularly to cleaning contractors and to those intending to start a business in the cleaning field, is that headed ‘Standard Times’.  ‘Standard Times’ expressed as hours per 100 square metres of floor are given for a wide variety of cleaning tasks.  Also given are times to clean stairs, lifts and escalators amongst many others.
