Why should you use a Floor Scrubber?

Many industries that see an extraordinary amount of traffic across the floors of their store or place of work, know that the maintenance in keeping a vast surface area looking dirt free and clean can be very time consuming and a real challenge.  There are two approaches to take when keeping a floor clean; one approach being the mop and bucket method, and the other is the floor scrubber. 

Mop and Bucket

There are a few downsides to using a mop and bucket.  When there’s a wet surface on the site of any business, both the staff and customers will not be able to use that space until the floor is dry. Health and safety regulations require that you put out a sign that displays the warning ‘wet floor’, and failure to do this may result in your business being accountable for any harm caused due to the floor being wet, which could cost a business money in pay-outs.

The method of using a mop and bucket also has the result of not cleaning floors very well, in actual fact the mop moves the dirt around rather than cleaning it up, then is rinsed in cloudy water and used to clean the floor again.  The grime from the floor does not go anywhere and this is can be seen once the floor has dried. A water marked and muddy looking floor is what you are usually left with.

Floor Scrubber

The better option for cleaning a dirty floor is the industrial floor scrubber. The floor scrubber will start by spraying the floor with a part water and part cleaning chemicals mixture, and then it will begin to scrub the floor, breaking up any filth or spillage. Finally, with a squeegee-vacuum combination, the used water is then sucked up, leaving the floor completely clean and dry.

Floor scrubbers are not challenging to use.  They are intended to be quite easy to move around so that it will not harm your back and doesn’t need much maintenance.  The only components that you will need to make it work is, water, chemicals and remembering to empty the cloudy water after each clean.

Two Options

When buying a floor scrubber there are two options for you to choose from; a propane powered scrubber or an electric powered one. They’re both easy to use, the only difference is that one has a cord attached and the other does not. 

If you are looking to purchase a floor scrubber, you may want to seek advice from a trustworthy seller.  They’ll be best able to recommend a make and model that will best meet your needs, guaranteeing that you’ll choose a floor scrubber that can match up to all of your cleaning requirements.
