English translation: to clean with a floor cleaning machine

Finnish term or phrase: konettaa / konetus
Excerpts from the cleaning guidelines for an industrial facility:


- "Roska-astiat tyhjennetään tarvittaessa, lattiat kosteapyyhitään (tarvittaessa konetus)."

- "Lähettämön lattia konetetaan 1x vko (2x vko pölyaikana keväällä asiakkaan pyydettyä)."


"konettaa"/"konetus" appears to refer to some type of cleaning procedure, but so far, I can't resolve the precise meaning.

"konettaa" = ?

And since we're on the topic, might one use it in a non-cleaning context as well?

Thanks
