Cleaning and sanitizing the transport vehicles: a complete guide

sanitizing the transport vehicles

Buses, streetcars, trolley buses, shuttles, as well as ships, planes, ferries, trains and cabs are vehicles that, on a daily basis, accommodate hundreds of people. The great coming and going and frequent trampling 

cause dirt, slush, crushed stone and foliage to unintentionally go on the pavement and seats, especially on rainy days.

To ensure a safe and comfortable travel experience for passengers, it is important to intervene frequently with professional cleaning equipment so that a healthy and tidy environment is maintained quickly and effortlessly. In this article we are going to find out what are the best tools for cleaning and sanitizing transport vehicles, keeping them safe and clean, even after hours of heavy use.

Quickly cleaning up the transport vehicles with a vacuum cleaner

The means of transport house thousands of people inside them who, as they walk, deposit debris, crushed stone and slush on the pavement. As time goes by, the accumulation of these materials is likely to make the pavement slippery and unsafe, damaging the traveler's experience.

To effectively remove dirt and coarse debris while protecting the well-being of passengers, the ideal solution is to choose to rely on a comprehensive and high-performance tool such as a vacuum cleaner. In fact, this professional cleaning equipment is able to remove dirt deposited on pavement and surfaces just in one go, leaving them neat, clean and safe.

This is ensured by the structure itself, which has been optimized to provide maximum cleaning and suction results:

  • the vacuum is generated within the head, where there is/are one or more motors;
  • the filter system separates dry dust from clean air, reintroducing the latter into the environment after being filtered;
  • dirt goes into the collection container, usually made of plastic or metal, or into the collection bag;
  • suction is carried out through the suction hose, which is available in various lengths and diameters, and various nozzles depending on the surface to be cleaned, to simplify its use by the operator.

For those looking for a compact, handy and easy-to-use tool, an excellent solution is the SILENT professional vacuum cleaner, which offers several advantages:

  • The ultra-silent single-stage motor allows it to be used even when passengers are in, without annoying the travel experience;
  • The cloth filter provides a good filtration system and is very quick to clean;
  • The shockproof and anti-tipping structure protects the operator’s safety and provides for an optimal user experience;
  • The high-efficiency motor makes this product eco-friendly, ensuring high performance and low consumption;
  • Last but not least is the compact size which allows its passage even in narrow areas of the vehicles.

By using the Silent vacuum cleaner, it will be possible to work effectively on any type of pavement, always achieving maximum results, without effort and optimizing costs.

Sanitizing the transport vehicles with steam generators

An essential aspect of vehicle maintenance is that of sanitation and hygiene. The presence of so many people inside an enclosed environment, in fact, amplifies the spread and proliferation of viruses, germs and bacteria, which go to settle on doors, handles, surfaces, windows, chairs, tables and upholstery.

Again, frequent intervention is a must, thus preventing large-scale contamination and the spread of unpleasant odors. To avoid using large amounts of detergents, cloths, rags and alcohol solutions that would make the air unbreathable after several uses, a simple, highly effective and environmentally friendly solution is to rely on steam generators.

Steam is an excellent ally for professional cleaning because it enables to:

  • Remove up to 99.9% of bacteria, fungi and mold;
  • Achieve a level of sanitation and hygiene that otherwise would have required hours of work;
  • Eliminate odor from any kind of textile surface, such as armchairs, upholstery or curtains.

Steam generators also have specific characteristics to adapt to different types of surfaces and needs:

  • GV EGON VAC, with its small size, also integrates a vacuum system, for a 2-in-1 operation. This product is particularly suitable for cleaning small vehicles, such as shuttles, RVs, cabs, car sharing, as well as first aid vehicles such as ambulances.
  • GV 3.0 VAC, suitable for cleaning large surfaces such as airplanes, trains, ships and ferries. This product also features a vacuum system to remove dirt and sanitize in just one go;
  • GV KATLA, a compact yet highly efficient steam generator, ideal for those seeking a high-performance product totally dedicated to steam cleaning;
  • GV ETNA-R FOAM, ideal for sanitizing and washing upholstered items, such as train, ferry and airplane seats, as well as mattresses inside train and ship berths. Here, the cleaning system with dense foam mixed with steam allows washing without penetration, disintegrating dirt and keeping surfaces dry.

By choosing the steam generator best suited to your needs, you can always achieve an excellent level of sanitization and hygiene, optimizing time and costs with a unique and eco-friendly solution.

Washing buses, streetcars, shuttles and more with a pressure cleaner

Keeping the interior of transport vehicles clean is important to protect passengers and ensure a pleasant and safe travel experience. Likewise, taking care of the external cleaning of these vehicles is essential to simplify their maintenance and prevent their deterioration.

Again, using professional cleaning tools specifically for this need will optimize time and costs, even with continuous and frequent interventions.

If you are looking for a high-performance appliance which can provide an excellent degree of cleanliness even after one go, a high-pressure cleaner is the best solution for your needs. Harnessing the power of the high-pressure jet, it removes encrusted dirt, moss, sludge, dust, organic substances and all kinds of stains in just one go without damaging the surfaces.

Depending on your needs, you can choose from two types:

  • Hot water high-pressure cleaners, perfect for removing scale and oily stains. They feature an internal coil that heats water, increasing the effectiveness of the jet, without the use of detergents. They can also be used with cold water, if necessary. One model that is particularly suitable for cleaning the transport vehicles is HLR, which is equipped with a steel coil with high thermal efficiency and low speed motor for longer motor pump life;
  • The compact and handy cold water high-pressure cleaners use the high jet pressure to remove dust, soil, foliage and moss in just one go. An excellent solution for cleaning transport vehicles is HNR XL, with a water-cooled motor (in three-phase models), low motor speed and the pump made of nickel-plated brass for greater resistance to chemicals.
