Onsite Cleaning Equipment Training & Staff Inductions

Onsite Cleaning Equipment Training & Staff Inductions

At RapidClean Illawarra (trading online as Rapid Supplies), we believe that investing in cleaning equipment should mean more than just receiving a box at your door. That’s why we provide onsite training and inductions for your team, so your new machines are used safely, efficiently and the way the manufacturer intended.

We support businesses across South Sydney, the Illawarra, Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, the South Coast and Southern Highlands with practical, hands-on training that fits real-world sites and real-world staffing challenges.

Training Included with Every New Equipment Sale

Whenever you purchase cleaning equipment from RapidClean Illawarra / Rapid Supplies, we can provide onsite training for your staff and end users. The goal is simple: make sure your team feels confident using the machine from day one.

Typical new equipment training covers:

  • Unboxing & setup – we help assemble and set up the machine correctly on site.
  • Controls & functions – simple explanations of what each control does and when to use it.
  • Correct cleaning process – how to prepare the area, pre-sweep, choose the right pad/brush and use the correct chemical dilution.
  • Safety & manual handling – how to reduce slips, trips and strain injuries when operating the machine.
  • Daily & weekly maintenance – emptying tanks, cleaning filters, storing batteries and extending machine life.

We want your team to feel like they’ve had a proper induction – not just a quick handover and a manual left on the shelf.

Refresher Training for Existing Machines & Fleets

Staff turnover is a reality in our industry. Over time, it’s easy for teams to slip back into using mops instead of scrubbers, or to skip important steps that impact hygiene and floor safety.

RapidClean Illawarra offers onsite refresher training on all brands of floor cleaning equipment, including:

  • Walk-behind and ride-on floor scrubber dryers
  • Floor polishers and burnishers
  • Manual and powered sweepers
  • Backpack, tub and upright vacuums
  • Specialty and industrial cleaning machines

Because our workshop services such a wide range of brands and models every day, our team is well placed to train your staff on most major brands, even if you didn’t buy the equipment from us.

Why Proper Training Matters

  • Better results – correct pad choice, speeds and passes give you cleaner, safer floors and a more professional presentation to the public.
  • Reduced risk – using scrubbers and sweepers correctly helps reduce slips, trips and manual handling issues compared to old-fashioned mopping.
  • Lower costs – trained operators are less likely to damage equipment, pads, brushes or floors, and machines last longer between major repairs.
  • Happier staff – people are more confident and efficient when they know how to use the tools they have.

Who We Train

We provide onsite training for a wide range of customers, including:

  • Contract cleaners and facility managers
  • Hospitals, healthcare and aged care facilities
  • Schools, TAFEs and universities
  • Councils and government sites
  • Retail centres, hospitality venues and clubs
  • Warehouses, factories and industrial sites

Whether you have a single machine or a fleet spread across multiple sites, we can tailor training sessions around your shifts and staffing.

Flexible Training Options

We can structure training in several ways to suit your business:

  • Full site induction for new machines and new contracts.
  • Small group sessions for key staff and supervisors.
  • Train-the-trainer sessions so your leaders can confidently pass on correct procedures.
  • Periodic refresher visits to keep standards high and address staff changes.

Training can also be combined with equipment servicing and repairs, so your machines are checked over at the same time.

Brands & Equipment We Work With

Our technicians and trainers work with a broad range of brands, including many leading names in commercial cleaning. Common brands we encounter include Nilfisk, Kärcher, Pacvac, Numatic, Hako, Viper, i-team / i-mop, Kranzle and more.

If you’re unsure about a specific brand or model, just ask – in most cases we can support it or point you in the right direction.

Book Onsite Training or a Refresher Session

If you feel your staff are using machines like a mop, avoiding equipment altogether, or if you’ve had a few near misses or manual handling incidents, it’s a good time to refresh training.
