From Dull to Dazzling: How a Bogotá Mall Cut Cleaning Costs by 60% with Robotic EZshine Diamond Floor Maintenance Pads

The Situation

Centro Mayor, one of Bogotá's busiest shopping centers, faced persistent floor maintenance challenges on its high-traffic terrazzo tile surfaces. Daily foot traffic and food court spillage left stubborn scratches and grease residues and dulled the floor's original finish.

Traditional manual cleaning methods were labor-intensive, consumed excessive water and chemicals, and failed to deliver consistent long-term gloss. The client sought an automated, eco-friendly solution that could integrate with robotic scrubbers to reduce labor costs and pad changing frequency while achieving greener spaces, superior cleaning and more optimal results.
