Floor scrubber

Floor polish is a floor cleaning device. This can be a simple tool such as floor mop and floor brush, or in the form of a walk-back or ride-on machine to clean larger floor areas by injecting water with cleaning solution, scrubbing, and lifting residue from the floor. With advances in robots, autonomous floor-scrubbing robots are also available.

Automatic floor scrubber

Automatic floor scrubber, also known as automatic scrubber, is a type of floor cleaning machine used to scrub clean floors of light, dust, oil, grease or floor marks. These machines have a rotary (disk) or cylinder head scrubbing and an automatic system to remove the cleaning solution and then suck it up. So, in a leap on the floor, a user can issue a cleanup, rub it on the floor, then suck it all with a squeegee autoscrubber holder on the back of the machine. Automatic scrubber has a separate expense tank and recovery (solution) tank to keep clean water separate from dirty water and can be categorized into one of three main types: walk on the back, stand on top, and the rider.

Floor scrubbers are a hygienic alternative to traditional cleaning methods such as mops and buckets. An environmentally friendly soap can be used in conjunction with a reduced water system to save the amount of chemicals released into the environment as well as the amount of gray water produced. Some floor scrubbers are even able to clean without water and chemical systems altogether.

Most autoscrubbers can not reach edges, corners, clean under barriers like drinking fountains, and can not fit into a niche. Therefore, mopping is needed to clear areas that the autoscrubber can not reach. Some manufacturers are now producing Floor Scrubbers with Orbital/Oscillating brush decks that allow edges, corners and overhangs to be fully cleaned.

The modern floor scrubber has a pre-sweep option that eliminates the need to sweep the floor before it is scrubbed. The pre-sweep brush head is placed in front of the vacuum system to collect dust and debris before it can block the vacuum system. It used to be important to sweep the floor before scrubbing to remove dirt and dust that could clog the vacuum hose or accumulate in a vacuum motor, which could degrade performance. If this happens, a vacuum hose may need to be removed to clean the obstruction and/or the vacuum motor may need to be detonated by compressed air.

Stripping solutions should not be used because they can cause damage to the solution discharge system, but can still be sucked by the engine without harm. Sometimes, the solution system should be rinsed with water mixed with vinegar to remove soap and calcium deposits that can build a solution system.

After each use, the expenditure (solution) and especially the recovery tank must be emptied and rinsed to prevent dirt from accumulating. Also, pads/brushes, vacuum hose, and squeegee should also be rinsed to prevent dirt from accumulating. Motor vac should be run for several minutes afterwards to remove the moisture that can be present in the motor vac to reduce the possibility of corrosion that can damage the motor vac. Failure to perform this treatment may result in a loss of vacuum airflow and a costly improvement improvement.

Type Automatic Floor Scrubber Head

There are 3 common types of automatic floor scrubber: Disk, Cylinder, and Square Oscillation.

Disk Floor Scrubber Heads Style

The most commonly used disk floor scrubber uses a circular motion with round or brush pads to throw the cleaning solution onto the floor to release the soil. Disk floor cleaning heads work best on smooth floors.

Cylindrical Floor Scrubber Heads

Using counter rotating tube style brushes that rotate perpendicular to the floor, the cylindrical floor scrubber cleans rough or uneven surfaces. Cylinder brushes usually have a collection of trays on the back of a brush that can pick up larger debris like rocks, screws and small bolts. This reduces the need to sweep or dust before rubbing, although it is still a good idea if possible.

Head of Floor Oscillation Scrubber

Similar to the disk style, the oscillating floor scrubber uses a flat base to scrub the floor. The difference is that instead of spinning, it moves in a vibrating motion at a much faster pace. The square design allows to clean closer to the wall and at an angle. The high speed movement and downhill pressure also allows the floor cleaning style of the floor is useful for removing the completion of the floor of the vinyl composite tile and also preparing the wood floor for refinishing. A rough special pad is used for this procedure.

Floor stand and polish

When floor polishing machines become more available for many types of facilities, there is a need to cover different types of floors. Floor buffer or rotary machine was created to scrub and polish floors with linoleum surface. The machine uses a soft rotary brush to clean and make the floor shine. For marble and wood floors, floor polish can be used to apply a protective coating to the floor.

This is also known as floor burnisher if it is a high speed floor buffer with a pad that rotates at over 1000 RPM.

Closely resembles a large, vertical vacuum cleaner with handlebar control and requires, until it is familiar with the engine, the two-hand steering, the floor buffer using one or more rotational swivel speed variables to repel dirt and dust from and apply a flat finish. They have a large, rounded brushed pad that rotates in one direction by a small motor, usually mounted directly above the middle of the pad.

Larger powered floor buffers are used in schools, hospitals, offices and public buildings. It has wheels and is powered to allow users to easily move and clean the items that stick to the floor. Reduced versions are available for home use and are often sold as hard floor cleaners.
