The Quest for Sparkling Tiles

A powered floor scrubber is so much easier to use than a mop and bucket when cleaning a large office or commercial space. While the mop and bucket seem very simple — and they are — they are also physically demanding and don't allow you to clean that quickly. How well they clean often depends on your own ability to press the mop into the floor to create a strong scrubbing motion.

An easier method is to use a floor scrubber, where all you have to do is push the machine and maneuver it, while the machine takes care of the main part of the work. You'll find different sizes of scrubbers with different configurations and features, and some of those features are near-miracles if you're used to dragging a mop everywhere.

Battery Operation

Many floor scrubbers are corded, meaning you have to plug them into a power source to run them. That also means you end up fighting with a power cord that can get in your way. A number of brands now make battery-operated floor scrubbers. You'll still have to plug them in to recharge them, but their batteries can last for a long time. Another benefit of not having a cord is that you don't have to worry about workers who stayed late suddenly tripping over the cord as they move about the building.

Narrower Width

These scrubbers need to be transported to the upper floors in the building somehow, and the elevator and escalator, if the building has one, are the only convenient ways to do that. Smaller scrubbers are narrow enough that you can fit them through narrow doorways and squeeze them into elevators that may already be carrying a lot of equipment.

Narrow scrubbers are also often lighter and easier to move around. That reduces the chances of injury to the cleaners and helps the overall cleaning job go faster.

Continual Cleaning

Some scrubbers clean only when being moved forward, but now you can find some that work when being pushed forward or pulled back. They are much more maneuverable, too, and the extra cleaning power can cut cleaning time substantially. You no longer have to worry about moving the scrubber back into position to push it forward again to clean the floor; now, it will clean continuously.

Floor scrubbers from brands are available in several different models. Your cleaning service would benefit greatly from getting models that allow your workers to get their jobs done swiftly.
