When to Replace Your Aging Industrial Sweepers and Scrubbers

Industrial sweepers and scrubbers have gone through extensive development since their introduction in the early 1900s. Although their use remains the same, today’s models are leaps and bounds easier to use, and more environmentally-friendly than their older counterparts.

Although facility managers should already understand the importance of a clean working environment, it’s certainly worth reiterating here: a tidy working environment promotes productivity, safety and product quality. Additionally, it portrays an image of quality standard that boosts employee morale and creates a good impression to visiting vendors and clients. Choosing the best floor-cleaning equipment, therefore, will help add more value to your enterprise.

When the machine you use is outdated or is no longer working properly, your maintenance staff will not be able to perform their job efficiently and deliver optimal results. Here are signs that you need to purchase new floor care equipment:

Your floors are still filthy after cleaning. Floors are supposed to look polished and neat after running your machine over them. A malfunctioning cleaner, however, fails to remove dust and dirt effectively and can potentially damage your flooring.

Cleaning takes more and more time. Every minute spent cleaning your floors uses up energy and expenses. Floor care machines that don’t work right can take twice as long to clean your space because they need to go over the same areas again and again to achieve the desired results. Quality equipment does the job right the first time, every time.

If it’s time to replace your machines…

Floor care machines from manufacturers such as PowerBoss possess features to solve all issues you may have with your flooring upkeep. These include large capacity tank solution and hopper for less refill and disposal time, heavy duty edge scrub to eliminate handwork on cleaning corners, flip and switch controls to regulate pressure, green technology that minimizes water and chemical wastage and a lot more. You also get to choose between walk-behind or ride on sweeper and scrubber depending on your facility’s size and type of flooring.
