If you’re a business owner with a large scale floor that sees a lot of foot traffic – like a convenience store or retail shop – keeping it clean can be an absolute nightmare. Most business owners might simply use a mop and bucket, which does little to actually clean the floor.
It doesn’t take long for a new floor to look dirty and worn out in these types of locations. There are many reasons why switching to a floor scrubber would be simpler, cost-effective, and safe.
At any of these locations a wet floor blocks customers from getting to your products and the danger of falls is always present. You have to put up signs to warn customers and make sure they heed those signs; all the while your products are not being sold. Floor scrubbers work better in industrial settings as well because work has to be stopped whenever the floor is wet and dangerous.
One of main issues with mop and bucket cleaning is that it really only spreads dirt around. While it’s wet, the floor looks cleaner but the dirty residue is apparent as soon as it’s dry. Some dirt is lifted off the floor but it gets mixed in with the mop water then redistributed with the next swab.
A high quality industrial floor scrubber is the answer to these problems. Scrubbers work by spraying the floor with a solution of water and chemical cleaner, breaking up dirt and removing residue, then sucking up all the used water into a separate tank. The floor is completely dry as you use the machine and no water is reused so your floors truly get clean and pose no threat to anyone walking on them.
These machines are also very easy to use and most models don’t require a lot of force so they are also easy on your back. That is a big advantage over mopping by itself. Most don’t require much maintenance – simply fill them with the water / cleaner solution and be sure to empty it once you’re done scrubbing.
Floor scrubbers are the best solution to keeping floors clean for small business owners.
