Increase Your Business’ Productivity with a Riding Floor Scrubber

Commercial spaces can be hard to keep clean. While many businesses employ people to clean using a manual mop and bucket, this is a very ineffective way of removing dirt, bacteria and residue. Rather than removing dirt and grime, a mop will just dilute and spread the dirt to another area, thus any bacteria will have just spread instead of being eliminated. The best way to combat the high cost of cleaning workspaces is to invest in industrial sweepers and scrubbers.

There are two main types of industrial floor scrubbers, and each one is suitable for different types of floor space.

Riding Floor Scrubber

A riding floor scrubber, although requiring a larger initial monetary outlay, can greatly reduce your labor costs over time. This is the best type of floor scrubber to invest in if you have a large commercial space. They can come in a variety of sizes with a wide range of functions. Some have intensive scrubbing and dust control, while others have the ability to restore high polish finishes on floors.

All good ride-on floor scrubbers use battery power and therefore eliminate any exhaust fumes, thus increasing employee safety. If the area you need to clean with a floor scrubber incurs heavy foot traffic, it would be better to use a machine which provide immediate drying of cleaned areas. With ride-on scrubbers having a trailing squeegee vacuum that sucks up any moisture, you can be sure that your employees and customers can safely walk on the floor as soon as it’s been cleaned.

A ride-on floor scrubber also provides increased comfort levels for the user, increased productivity, a reduction in chemical waste and a reduction in water use. Over time, all these factors will accumulate in a bigger savings than if you have your employees mopping the floor manually.

Walk Behind Floor Scrubber

A walk behind floor scrubber is hugely beneficial for businesses that have ramps and inclines, but lack an elevator or have small tight spaces. This is because walk behind floor scrubbers have a much smaller footprint than ride-on scrubbers and as such, can provide more maneuverability for certain types of building. You can also get self-propelled walk behind floor scrubbers that decrease fatigue levels in workers and increase productivity.

An industrial floor scrubber, whether it is a walk behind or ride-on variety, will increase business productivity and safety. In the long run, it will also help to reduce cleaning costs. The only decision you really need to make is which type of industrial floor scrubber would suit your business needs best.
