Keeping greenhouse floors clean might seem like a routine maintenance job, but it can have a much bigger impact on the overall condition, safety and hygiene of your growing environment than many people realise.

At GVZ Glasshouses, we currently have a rare opportunity for growers, nurseries and garden centres looking to improve the way they clean their greenhouse floors.

For a limited time, we have one Stefix 135 ride-on sweeper and one Stefix 73BT Electric walk-behind sweeper available at special offer prices.

With only one of each available, this really is a first come, first served opportunity.

Why clean greenhouse floors matter

Greenhouse and nursery floors can quickly collect more than just a little dust.

Over time, you can see a build-up of:

• Leaves and plant debris
• Soil and compost
• Moss and algae
• Weed seeds
• Bark and organic matter
• Packaging fragments and general debris
• Material trapped along edges, around posts and underneath benches

It is easy to overlook small amounts of debris, particularly during busy growing periods, but leaving material behind can create bigger problems later.

Organic debris can retain moisture and provide conditions where algae, weeds, pests and potentially plant pathogens can thrive. Wet or dirty flooring can also become slippery, creating an unnecessary safety risk for staff and visitors.

The cleaner the floor, the easier it is to maintain good greenhouse hygiene and identify new problems before they have a chance to spread.

The bits you miss are often the bits that matter

A quick sweep across the main walkways is one thing. Thoroughly cleaning a large commercial greenhouse is another.

Debris tends to collect in the places that are easiest to miss — around bench legs, close to greenhouse structures, along edges and in corners.

For businesses with substantial areas of Mypex or anti-root cloth to maintain, doing this manually can take a considerable amount of time and labour.

That is exactly where purpose-built greenhouse sweeping equipment comes into its own.

Why invest in a Stefix?

There is no getting away from the fact that a Stefix may represent a greater initial investment than some smaller or less expensive sweeping machines.

But purchase price is only one part of the equation.

A machine that allows your team to clean more floor in less time, more consistently and with less manual effort can deliver value well beyond its initial cost.

The Stefix 135 ride-on sweeper is capable of cleaning up to 10,000m² of greenhouse floor per hour, making it particularly suited to growers, larger nurseries and garden centres with extensive areas to maintain.

Instead of looking purely at the price of the machine, it is worth considering:

• The labour hours that can be saved
• The amount of floor that can be covered in a working day
• The consistency of the finished clean
• Reduced dependence on manual sweeping
• How frequently cleaning can realistically be carried out
• The potential lifespan and commercial use of the machine

A cheaper machine may cost less on day one, but if it takes considerably longer to complete the same job, requires more manual finishing or simply is not designed for the environment, the saving can quickly become less attractive.

For commercial horticulture, sometimes buying the right machine once makes more sense than buying the cheapest machine available.

Stefix 135 – for larger areas

Our Stefix 135 is the ride-on option and is designed for businesses with significant greenhouse or nursery floor areas.

Being able to travel across large sections of Mypex or anti-root cloth while sweeping makes it possible to tackle jobs that would otherwise require considerable staff time.

For businesses regularly cleaning thousands of square metres, the productivity difference can be significant.

We currently have:

1 x Stefix 135 ride-on sweeper available at a special offer price of £15500 excl. VAT .

Once this machine is sold, there is no second one waiting behind it at that offer price.

Stefix 73BT Electric – a compact alternative

Not every site requires a ride-on machine.

For smaller areas or businesses that prefer a walk-behind option, we also have:

1 x Stefix 73BT Electric walk-behind sweeper – special offer price £6,000 excl. VAT.

It provides a more compact solution while still being designed specifically with professional greenhouse floor cleaning in mind.

Again, there is only one machine available.

A cleaner floor is an investment in your whole greenhouse

Good housekeeping supports good horticulture.

Keeping Mypex and anti-root cloth clear of debris helps create a cleaner, safer and more professional working environment while making ongoing maintenance easier.

And when large areas need to be cleaned regularly, having the right machinery can turn a labour-intensive task into a much more manageable part of your maintenance routine.
