Do I Need a Floor Scrubbing Machine?

Floor Scrubbers and Autoscrubber machines are versatile, hygenic, and green. Many different types of industries require a floor scrubber- from huge warehouses and manufacturers all the way down to tiny retail stores and bakeries. Almost any application that would require a mop and bucket could use a floor scrubber instead. These machines will cut back on your cleaning time, are much more hygenic, and are very easy to use. All of the machines displayed on this site are scrubbers that we know are the best the industry has to offer.

Operating these scrubbers is as simple and turning one on, dropping the brushes to the floor, and pushing forward- you're set to clean! Almost all the scrub settings are preprogrammed, leaving little room for misakes via the operator, and the difference between these machines really comes down to individual customer needs including the size of the area you're scrubbing, the type of material and chemicals that are being cleaned, and the sort of flooring that the machine will be in contact with. Depending on the size of the floor you plan to clean you can either choose a walk-behind floor scrubber or a rider floor scrubber. Another decision you will make is whether you choose to go with a cylindrical or a disk type deck.

What is the Difference between Cylindrical and Disk Scrubbing?

If you're in the market for a scrubber- it's important to know exactly what kind of machine you will need for the surface you will be cleaning! Generally, scrubbers come with one of two different types of decks: Disc Decks- which utilize one or more circular pads or brushes and are meant for flat and mostly even surfaces, and Cylindrical Decks- which utilize two cylinder-shaped brooms and are best for surfaces that include grout lines or have additional small debris needed to be scrubbed up.

The solution to cleaning floors with expansion cuts really boils down to maintaning a regular scrubbing schedule. It may take a number of passes for the scrubber to fully clean out these cuts, but once initially cleared, your machine should have no problem collecting the debris that falls into them.
