Smearing the germs

Dirty mops not cleaning floors

With the knowledge that bacteria like E-coli and C-diff can be transferred from shoe to floor and vice versa, it is extremely important to make sure our floors are as clean as possible. So we mop, on the small scale, or use a scrubber, on the large scale. In both cases, making sure the equipment is clean keeps our floors clean, instead of even more contaminated.

It Drives Itself??? Automated Floor Machines

So many things are automated these days - no human interaction. We check ourselves out at the grocery store. We have that fake “soothing voice” guide us on customer care phone calls. Driverless trains can take us from Point A to Point B. Even surgeons make use of artificial intelligence by way of surgical robot assist systems. And with cars parking themselves, it seems logical that we could have a large floor machine driving itself.

Top 7 Reasons Floor Scrubbers Fail - Part 1

Floor scrubbers are a needed tool for keeping your floors clean. But as with any type of equipment they do require some maintenance to keep working properly.

Why buy a floor scrubber?

Clean floors make a great first impression to customers and visitors to your business. But keeping them clean can be challenging. Many of our customers find that controlling the majority of dirt at the source goes along way at keeping the entire business clean.

Concrete's Polished - Now What?

As we stare at our new shinny warehouse floor we can't believe the change it has made in the appearance of our business. Everything looks so much better and brighter. And we know that when things are clean and look nice, people tend to work harder to take care of things.

But then reality set in...

What size of machine is best?

The amount of floor space to be cleaned is one of the most important things to consider when deciding what machine you need.

The smallest machines usually called micro floor scrubbers range from 12 to 15 inches wide. These machines can come corded or battery powered. They are very easy to use and great for small areas.

Power Up: Battery VS Electric

Corded electric scrubbers are usually 20” or under. Their benefits include unlimited run time and require less maintenance. They are also economical and lighter in weight and can be transported easier than a heavier battery powered machine. The down side to the electric scrubber is the Cord!

All about the floors

Have you ever used a public restroom that was in dire need of cleaning? Or that was just too smelly to even use? If you answered yes to either of the last two questions, what impression did that leave on you about that place of business?

What type of detergent or soap should I use in a floor scrubber?

When using a floor scrubber you will need to use detergent to clean up the oil, dirt and whatever else is making your floor dirty. You may be wondering which of the many different cleaners out there should I use?
