Should You Invest in a Floor Scrubber for Your Business? | Corona, CA

When you have a large area to keep spic-n-span, it can be a daunting task to keep the floors clean and injury-free. So, for many industrial businesses, they invest in a floor scrubber rather than using the traditional mop and bucket technique.

When deciding upon which model to purchase, it is important to think about a few key product points so you can get the model best suited for your needs. Here are a few questions to ask to ask yourself when deciding not only if you need a scrubber, but what you’re like this machine to enable you to do. After all, you don’t need a giant machine for a smaller floor space and a smaller model may not make life easier for a larger building:

Do you need a sweeper, a scrubber or both? Knowing what your floor needs to maintain the level of cleanliness you’re looking for will help guide which models to seek out. Some specialize in one mode of cleaning, while others have a dual feature. It all depends on what your industry is and the area you are trying to maintain.

Rider or walk-behind? This depends on the surface of your floors. A rider will increase productivity, but not if you have lots of nooks and crannies to get clean. Knowing the area your cleaning will make this decision easier.

What kind of flooring are you cleaning? Different surfaces necessitate different cleaning products.

Who is operating the scrubber? “Different strokes for different folks” may be the saying, but it holds true for floor scrubbers purchasing. Make sure whoever is operating it can fit the machine and know how to operate it properly. The point is to make this investment a worthwhile one, not cumbersome to those using it.

Automatic Floor Scrubbers: How They Make Our Lives Easier | Corona, CA

We can’t deny that it saves you an incredible amount of time. In fact, an automatic floor scrubber can save you up to 80% of the man hours it would take to clean the floors by hand. They are single-handedly the most economical investment you can make for your industrial building’s maintenance. You’re nothing but thankful for this handy machine each time you scrub the dirt and bring them to a glossy sheen. But have you ever stopped to think about how it works?

An automatic floor scrubber makes your life easier with three components that work in unison. After all, teamwork makes the dream work. These components – the solution dispensing system, scrubbing system and solution recovery/vacuum system – all complete the puzzle as you guide the machine along your soiled floors.

Solution dispensing system. You can’t get a good clean without soap. This little gadget makes sure to dispense just the right amount of cleaning solution your floor requires. The solution you use is dependent on your particular machine and the floor’s needs.

Scrubbing system. This is the most crucial part of the floor scrubber. Along the bottom of your machine a floor pad or brush will agitate the cleaning solution with enough power to remove any dirt, grease or grime that has soiled your floor.

Solution recovery/vacuum system. Now that we have scrubbed our floors clean, we need to get the soap and residue off the floor. A type of squeegee/vacuum component will suck it all up and store it in a tank that you can remove and empty. This not only minimizes dry time but will also prevent any injuries from slipping.

Purchasing a Riding Floor Cleaner | Corona, CA

When you have the job of looking after something like a sports arena or government building, cleaning the floors of large facility like that can be a daunting task. And if you have a manual cleaner, it is a time-consuming task. Because after all, floors need to be cleaned frequently, especially if you have a sanitized location like a hospital to keep clean. What you need is a rider autoscrubber, making the task of cleaning your floors not only quicker, but an even deeper clean. If you are still on the fence about which way to go, here are six ways having an autoscrubber will not only improve how clean your floors are, but will also save time and manpower:

Control system. Universal One-Touch™ controls make it easy for the operator to control.

Side skirts. Water pick-up and wiping performance can cause damage to your machine. Heavy-duty, fully adjustable side skirts prevent all that from happening, making this a cost-effective machine.

Chemical mixing system. Save money, time and the planet with the optional, onboard chemical mixing system.

Operator compartment. No matter what size you are, the open operator compartment with the low-step height and angled floorboard makes hopping on and off a breeze for those quick stops.

Recovery tank. Cleaning the equipment that cleans is never a fun job. The large opening to the recovery tank makes it easy to access and clean the tank, and clogs are prevented with the handy debris catch.

Onboard charger. No one likes to stop a task halfway through. Having the onboard battery charger makes having to stop unnecessary. And when you need to give the autoscrubber maintenance work, battery access is a breeze.

Quick Tips to Maintaining Industrial Floors | Corona, CA

by Michael Schaffer

Rarely in the commercial cleaning business will you hear the term, “general cleaning.” That is because each cleaning task is unique; unique cleaning problems produce unique cleaning solutions. In following this adage, the maintenance of industrial floors is no different.

Floor maintenance works best when the duties, frequency of tasks and other services necessary to maintain the floor have been outlined and written down. Everyone involved in floor maintenance should be aware of and be a part of the floor maintenance plan. The floor maintenance plan should also outline exactly how the floors are to be maintained.

Regular maintenance — including such things as placing mats at entries, vacuuming them regularly and maintaining the outside entries by removing oily soils on sidewalks and parking lots — helps keep industrial floors clean. In addition, all building lobbies and entries should be dust mopped, mopped and cleaned daily.

More advanced floor care equipment, such as scrubbers, burnishers and cylindrical machines, can significantly reduce the time needed to care for floors. In addition, managers of industrial facilities will usually look for the most efficient equipment they can find, such as machines that can multitask: Scrub, clean and polish.

The chemicals selected for floor maintenance are also a concern. These chemicals, of all cleaning products, can be some of the most potentially harmful to the environment. Environmentally preferable floor care chemicals are now being introduced that work as effectively as conventional products but with less impact on the environment.

For industrial facilities, floor care machines with passive vacuum systems are necessary. These vacuums keep impurities from being released into the air, protecting the health of cleaning professionals and industrial workers.

Three Reasons to Switch to a Floor Scrubber | Corona, CA

As we are slowly working our way back to normal business practices, it is important that we keep our businesses clean and safe for the patrons and the employees. We once relied upon a mop and bucket to clean the floor, but for busy buildings, it can become a waste of manpower to constantly keep these floors pristine.

So, how do you keep the surfaces clean while saving time and energy of manually pushing a mop around? A floor scrubber will not only keep your floors very clean, but depending on the type of model, can save you loads of manpower hours. Here are the biggest reasons to make the swap:

Time saver. An employee with a mop and bucket can clean about 4,000 square feet per hour. The same employee with a floor scrubber can clean anywhere between 20,000 square feet and 30,000 square feet per hour, depending on the size and runtime of the scrubber. This leads to a decrease in labor costs with a return on investment.

No dirty water. A floor scrubber doesn’t reuse dirty water when cleaning the floor while a mop and bucket does. This means a floor scrubber will leave your floor cleaner. Clean water flows through the floor scrubber while the squeegee at the base of the floor scrubber catches the dirty water and transfers it to the recovery tank to be disposed. This also allows you to avoid cross contamination since you’re not reusing water.

Safety. The floor scrubber leaves the floor dry within minutes while a mop and bucket leave the floor wet much longer allowing for potential slips, trips, and falls.

The Different Types of Floor Scrubbers | Corona, CA

Slips, trips and falls are the top causes of workplace injury. Generally caused by human error and/or carelessly not paying attention, it is important to ensure your floors are clean and dry in order to curtail these accidents from happening. Perhaps the most popular piece of equipment that prevents slips, trips and falls is the industrial floor scrubber. Additionally, these floor scrubbers can boost productivity, reducing operating costs and saving time by more quickly cleaning the warehouse’s floor surfaces.

But the true problem is, what type of floor scrubber is right for you and your current floor maintenance needs? After all, the point is to reduce the injuries. You need to be sure your investment is going to be the perfect fit for your needs. Here’s a guide to the two main categories of floor scrubbers — walk behind and ride-on scrubbers — that will help you understand their differences:

Walk behind floor scrubbers. As their name implies, walk behind floor scrubbers are guided by the operator, who stands behind the machine; most walk behind floor scrubbers don’t actually need to be pushed, however, making the job easier for the operator. These floor scrubbers use a diluted cleaning solution for optimal efficiency and come in a variety of widths to handle aisles of all sizes.

Ride-on floor scrubbers. Ride-on floor scrubbers are ideal for larger floor spaces that need to be cleaned in a short amount of time, as they can be operated continuously. These floor scrubbers can carry large amounts of water and are equipped with high-power batteries. These machines typically come equipped with floor sweeping capabilities, as well.
