To get the most from your industrial floor cleaning equipment, let’s begin by determining the type of cleaning that you need to do. There are three types of floor cleaners available: sweepers, scrubbers, and sweeper/scrubber combination units.
Floor cleaning sweepers brush up debris and are essentially industrial vacuum cleaners. Floor cleaning scrubbers contain water and cleaning solutions and will soak, scrub, and squeegee the surface. Excessive or large pieces of debris will be pushed around or clog the machine. The combination units sweep and then scrub the floor, all in one unit.
Sweepers and scrubbers are available in walk-behind and rider models. Sweeper/scrubber units are larger and are available as riders only. Make sure to take measurements of doors and aisles.
