Paint Chip Cleaning Solutions

Painting Contractors and Damage Re-mediators need cleaning equipment that is efficient and cost effective for cleaning up after paint scrapping and ensuring a clean environment. Paint chips can be an annoyance getting under and around equipment, in floor cracks and crevices, corners, in door runners and in shrubs.

Paint chips vary in size and shape from small to large flakes making it difficult to pick up the paint chips with one pass especially if using a broom. Using tarps is awkward and clumsy; however, you can take control of the mess with an Elgee Power Vac :

• Brush Assembly
• Auto Baffle Assembly (Option) –  Enhanced hose suction
• Instant Action Hose (Option) – 4″ diameter x 10′ long

The negatives to broom sweeping is that it takes 10 times longer and compromises efficiency leaving smaller grainy particles behind which could impact the environment.

Benefits

Time & Money – Manual brooms are labor intensive, disperses more than is swept up and does little to pick up all the paint chips and grainy particles including that left in cracks and crevices. Removing paint chips ultimately prevents the paint chip from getting into waste water outlets, neighboring properties, and possibly airborne depending on the paint flake size.The Elgee Power-Vac:

• is 10 times faster than using a manual broom
• reduces the manual effort thus saving time and money
• provides the suction necessary to pick up the paint chips and particles out of floor crevices
• the Instant Action Hose keeps operator from having to use two or more pieces of equipment to clean open and congested (hard to reach) floor areas.
