EscaTEQ - The Simple Cleaning System for escalator treads and risers.
 
Cost efficient and simple.
 
Does not require the escalator be shut off and does not require an external power source. The tool is easier to use than a mop and requires less effort to use than a broom! The removable, washable, reusable cleaning pads mount and remove easily.
 
Lightweight, one person operational, easy to use tool and pad system that allows for rapid and effective riser cleaning.  The head unit is very light, so it moves quickly, with little effort for faster, more effective cleaning. The removable, washable, reusable cleaning pads mount and remove easily.
Includes Absorb-TEQ, a patented cleaning sponge formulation that allows our Tread-TEQ and Riser-TEQ cleaning pads to clean faster and more completely. Absorb-TEQ rinses better and dries faster too.
Why does Absorb-TEQ work better than a regular sponge material?
A better cleaning pad:
The unique and patented formulation allows for a higher ILD (Indentation Load Deflection) which provides for a more rigid material, allowing the teeth of our cleaning pads to apply greater pressure at the very bottom of the treads’ grooves, where the majority of dirt accumulates. By generating more pressure at the bottom of the tread or riser grooves, more dirt is removed faster, with less effort.
A larger cleaning surface:
Because Absorb-TEQ is so rigid, a backer material (found on other brands) is not required. Because sponge is normally soft, it cannot withstand the pressures generated by an escalators’ movement. Backer materials are added to resolve this material weakness, to increase the strength of the pads. However, since backer materials are made from PE (Polyethylene) performance is diminished because PE is a closed cell foam, not designed or intended to clean.
With Absorb-TEQ, the entire pad cleans, and cleans with up to 25% more cleaning surface, delivering up to 25% faster and better cleaning.
Absorb-TEQ is a dirt magnet:
The unique patent pending formulation of Absorb-TEQ also delivers a better cleaning result because of its more aggressive cell structure. Feel the texture of an Absorb-TEQ pad and feel the cleaning power generated by its design, allowing our pads and our systems to remove more dirt faster, with less effort.
 
Method:
Identify the width of the escalator to select the correct Tread-TEQ and Riser-TEQ head.
Using the fit tools to identify the pattern of risers and treads, select the correct Absorb-TEQ pads. 
 
This starter pack should be everything you need for at least the first year. 
Additional pads and chemical available separately. 
 
For treads:
Fit the pad to the tool, and soak in the solution for 30 seconds. With the escalator running, put the tool against the flow for a complete cycle of the escalator - typically 2-4 mins is all you need for this.
 
For Risers:
Clean your escalators risers wet or dry, with or without Clean-TEQ solution.
For spot treatment of stains, try using Riser-TEQ pads dry.
If you need more cleaning power, use with our Clean-TEQ solution, diluted 10:1 with water.
Use a light mist of diluted Clean-TEQ solution, sprayed directly onto the riser to be cleaned or, spray onto the cleaning pad before use.
 
Buying options, choose:
1. Escalator width= 600mm, 800mm, 1000mm
2. Tread Pattern = L, U, V or W (see technical info for more)
3. Riser Pattern = I, II, T or U
