Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle Tea Room in Bath needed a way to keep their historic wooden floors crumb-free during their busy afternoon tea service. Their standard vacuum was far too disruptive, forcing them to wait until closing time, which left the space looking untidy during peak hours.
"This little sweeper has completely sorted our mid-service cleaning. It's so quiet our customers don't even notice it, and it picks up everything from scone crumbs to sugar spills. The staff love how quick and easy it is to use."
Robert Davies – Manager, The Copper Kettle Tea Room
The result? The team can now maintain a spotless dining room all day long, improving customer experience and saving nearly 30 minutes of cleaning time after the final service.

Explore more from RubbermaidWhy a Brushless Design Makes All the Difference
You've probably used an old-fashioned carpet sweeper where the bristly brushes get clogged with hair and fluff, right? The brushless floor sweeper Rubbermaid GL546 does away with that problem entirely. Instead of bristles, it uses durable, flexible rubber blades on its rotors.
Think of it like a series of windscreen wipers for your floor. As you push the sweeper, these blades spin and expertly flick debris directly into the collection canisters. This means there are no bristles for hair and fibres to get tangled in, which keeps the sweeper working at peak performance with virtually no maintenance. It's also the secret to its whisper-quiet operation, making it the perfect tool for cleaning in plain sight.
