One aspect that many business owners or managers have to focus on is saving the company money. Too often, saving money means that they look for the cheapest products, especially when it pertains to general maintenance and cleaning.
For those business leaders who are focused on long-term cost benefits, they want to know whether they can save money purchasing a less expensive machine or product for something that will be used on a regular and consistent basis.
Commercial cleaning machines fall into this category and durability is an important factor to consider when calculating what type of investment your company wants to make with this important purchase.
First, while it’s important to keep from overspending, that doesn’t mean that you have to underspend. Commercial cleaning machines are generally going to cost more than residential or light cleaning machines. Within the realm of commercial cleaning machines, though, you will likely find a range of prices.
With these machines, the adage ‘you get what you pay for’ is true. While you may be able to save half the money on a cheaper commercial vacuum, polisher, or scrubber, for example, it may only last five or six years. Or you could invest more up front and end up with a machine that is still cleaning the floors, polishing them to a clear shine, and operating with minimal upkeep for 10, 15, or even 20 years.
Which is more important to your business right now? If it’s cost savings right now, then you will find that a cheaper product may work best for you. If you want quality and something that will last, then you should focus on machines that have stood the test of time.
Centaur Floor Machines purchased in the 1960s are still in use today because they were built to last and the durability and quality has not waned through all those years. If durability and quality matter to your company, make the right investment today.
