Floor scrubbers are an essential cleaning tool for all kinds of commercial properties. Whether you manage an apartment building, a retail store, or own a commercial cleaning company, floor scrubbers are essential. If you are planning to purchase a new floor scrubber, there are many factors to consider. Here are a few of the main factors to consider:
What is the power source for the floor scrubber?
There are several options when purchasing a floor scrubber. Although most people don't think about it, most of our first floor scrubbers are "manual." But if you are a commercial property or a commercial cleaning team, manual operation will not meet your needs. Consider the pros and cons of battery-powered and corded electric floor scrubbers. Depending on the mobility you need, it may make more sense to choose a cordless floor scrubber. However, cordless floor scrubbers may run out of power over time. Therefore, make sure to purchase a floor scrubber with a powerful battery that can last throughout your cleaning project. Floor scrubbers that rely on outlet power are ideal for small spaces. For example, a hotel that plans to use the floor scrubber only for cleaning bathrooms can use a corded powered floor scrubber. However, if you plan to clean large tile areas, a battery-powered floor scrubber is ideal because it is easier to operate.
Floor scrubber size
You also need to consider size. The benefit of larger size is increased efficiency, but the disadvantage is reduced maneuverability. Large floor machines can quickly clean large rooms in just a few passes. However, if you are cleaning smaller areas, such as countertops, bathroom fixtures, etc., you should choose a smaller machine that can fit into a small space. Commercial cleaning companies may purchase both large and small floor machines to meet both needs.
Multifunctional floor scrubbers
When it comes to commercial cleaning, nothing is more important than versatility. A machine that can only handle one thing is far less valuable than a dual-purpose device. Some floor machines can both polish and scrub at the same time by simply changing one attachment. Floor machines that are easy to use on multiple surfaces are also a good investment. Some machines can even be disassembled and broken down into smaller machines, making it easier for users to switch from cleaning floors to cleaning smaller, hard-to-reach areas.
