Ensuring cleanliness in a football stadium and its adjoining facilities

Federico Cerantola, team manager of the A.S. Cittadella football club, offers another positive review of Eureka cleaning machines.

The club has been using Eureka machines for a number of years to clean the stadium and over 60,000 square metres of sports facilities it manages, and Cerantola’s satisfaction with their performance emerges clearly from this video testimony.

"We chose Eureka because their machines are very robust, clean on the first pass and need very little maintenance."

“Hello, I’m Federico Cerantola, team manager of A.S. Cittadella. I’m responsible for organising events, managing the first team and running and maintaining our facilities. The municipal council has given A.S. Cittadella an area of approximately 60,000 square metres to manage and this is divided into 25,000 metres of sports fields with the remainder assigned to changing rooms, car parks and stands. Our stands have a total capacity of 7580 seats.

We encounter various types of dirt in the area we are responsible for running – everything from sand, to earth and mud. We do cleaning daily in the changing rooms of the team training area, and weekly everywhere else, where there’s leaves, gravel, and all sorts of debris. We attach the greatest importance to cleaning, not only for the hygiene of our players but for our spectators too. When you go to a match, it’s nice and only right to find the area clean. We’ve been using Eureka machines to do all kinds of cleaning for a number of years now. We’re perfectly satisfied with them because they clean very well on the first pass and are robust too. On top of this Eureka offers excellent technical assistance, even though we’ve only had to use their services a few times, since their machines always work so well. From the experience we’ve had over the years, I can heartily recommend Eureka machines for anybody responsible for running sports facilities!

Follow my advice and try them, because they’re really good. Thank you for your time and, as always, Forza Citta!”

The Eureka machines that A.S. Cittadella has chosen for its cleaning operations are a compact scrubber-dryer and two ride-on sweepers.

• The Eureka E46 walk-behind scrubber-dryer is agile and compact, making it particularly suitable for washing and drying congested floors like changing rooms and corridors, where manoeuvrability is essential. The E46 also guarantees an excellent flow of water to the brush – indispensable for thorough cleaning. Perfect floor drying, thanks to Eureka’s OnePASS system, makes it possible to clean floors even several times daily – for example when changing rooms are used by a number of teams on the same day – ensuring dry and immediately walkable floors.
• The Magnum industrial sweeper and the more compact Tigra sweeper, both ride-on models, effectively remove leaves, gravel and earth in next to no time. Given the weekly frequency of cleaning and the vast size of the area involved, it is indispensable for A.S. Cittadella to complete cleaning in as short a time as possible. Eureka machines have this ability thanks to technologies like MultiBristle brushes and self-levelling oscillating mountings, which guarantee optimum collection of all kinds of dirt in a single pass. Eureka sweepers are also particularly robust and durable. The smart design of components like the large debris hopper and traction system also guarantees speedy cleaning, extended autonomy and particularly short emptying and maintenance times.
