A Few Handy Tips on Buying an Automated Industrial Floor Scrubber
The mop and the bucket are now way past their heyday. Automated industrial floor cleaning machines are taking over the stage due to their more powerful cleaning capabilities—a mere 17-inch machine can clean more than 12,700 square feet of flooring per hour, compared to a measly 4,100 square feet for a 16-ounce mop.
These benefits have made an automatic industrial floor scrubber a valuable commodity, able to clean any hard surface floor quickly and efficiently. Part of its effectiveness is its ability to quickly replace dirty water with a fresh, clean batch, as well as the powerful cleaning action of the special scrub heads underneath it. A scrubber is also much less labor-intensive and efficient than a mop and bucket, offering practical value to anyone. Before going to visit a local dealer like Powerboss to buy a new unit, however, there are a few considerations to consider:
Surface Area
First and foremost, the amount of surface area which requires cleaning must be put into question. Is the location a wide, open area, or is it a smaller, more confined space such as a restroom or kitchen? The larger the surface area, the bigger and more powerful the scrubber should be.
Available Funds
More features equate to a heftier price tag. Think carefully about your needs and choose a machine that fulfills them within the constraints of your budget.
Power Source
Scrubbers run on different power sources, but the two main ones are batteries and electric cords. A corded machine is ideal for those with limited budgets since such units typically cost less than battery-operated ones, though corded scrubbers may not cover much floor space since they’ll be confined within a certain range. On the other hand, battery-operated units may be pricier, but they can cover more ground.
