Even low-traffic hallways accumulate a surprising amount of grime that can’t be removed with a mop; break rooms and lobbies are often twice as bad. Maintaining floors with a mop and elbow grease is time-consuming and just can’t get floors as clean as a floor scrubber machine.
Power scrubbers have become increasingly popular to ensure a clean, safe environment in:
Schools
Shopping Centers
Hospitals
Bakeries, or other food-prep areas
Gyms
Manufacturing plants
Office buildings
A power scrubber is faster than mopping and leaves floors shining clean. Though the initial investment is more than a mop and a bucket, the gains in efficiency and cleanliness are significant and immediately noticeable. Learn how to get buy-in for an industrial floor cleaning machine purchase.
How to Choose the Right Floor Scrubber
There are dozens of floor scrubbing machines on the market. To find the best one for your business, consider the following factors:
Tank size – be sure the scrubber has ample tank space, so time isn’t wasted emptying and refilling tanks.
Machine size – a walk-behind scrubber is versatile and good for areas with tight spaces. Think of it like a vacuum or lawnmower. There are also large, sit-down, industrial-sized models with a footprint similar to a forklift.
Power source – a battery-operated scrubber offers flexibility (you don’t need an electrical outlet nearby) and safety (no extension cord for someone to trip over).
How noisy is the machine when operating? This is important for daytime cleaning, or in areas like hospitals where patients may be sleeping.

The floor scrubber, or scrubber drier is an important tool in the housekeeping regime for many industrial and commercial premises.
Floor scrubbers use mechanically driven brushes which act on the floor’s surface to remove dirt, usually with the aid of cleaning chemicals. In a traditional style commercial floor scrubber, the cleaning solution is dispensed from a tank on the machine, then the residue is then collected by a system of squeegees and ultimately deposited into a collection tank for later disposal. At the end of this process you should be left with a clean and dry floor.
There are choices to be made in selecting the right scrubbing machine. For example brushes – a cylindrical brush is better for a polishing effect and de-greasing recessed floors and a disc brush is ideal for persistent or adherent dirt.
There are two main types of floor scrubbing machine, one pushed along manually by an operator and known as a walk-behind or pedestrian operated floor scrubber.
The other type is a ride-on scrubber drier where the operator drives the machine around the floor to carry out the cleaning.
The level of sophistication of both types of machine varies and it is important to select one that suits its purpose.
Also becoming more popular are portable scrubbers for floors and walls, which are lightweight, easy to manoeuvre and can also be used to clean walls and other surfaces, not just floors. The MotorScrubber M3 for example is powered by a battery backpack and the handheld scrubber weighs only 1.5Kg. With a telescopic handle which can extend up to 2.4 metres, this scrubber is ideal for use in areas like changing rooms. It’s also waterproof, so can be used in and around swimming pools and other wet areas.
For instance, not all scrubbing machines have a vacuum recovery system and rely on the squeegees alone to mop up the residue, which, in small areas requiring a lighter duty, may be adequate. Perhaps the most important part of a scrubber drier is an efficient brush system as without that the dirt cannot be effectively lifted from the floor. Many machines on the market today have self levelling brushes or brush pressure adjustment capabilities to ensure that they can cope when the floor is not level which is often the case in industrial environments.
Scrubber driers are powered by either electric cable, or by chargeable battery pack. So the first consideration is about the proximity of a power supply – will there be one within reach of the area you want to clean – e.g. 15 metres? If there is a power supply, could trailing cables cause a hazard, e.g. in public areas? If so, it might be better to use a battery powered floor scrubber. Battery powered scrubbing machines are becoming very popular and advances in battery technology mean that they can be used for quite long periods of time without re-charging. It’s just a matter of calculating the floor area and productivity rate, then you can make sure you have a machine with long-enough battery life for your needs.
The size of the solution and recovery tanks should also be considered to ensure there is enough capacity to clean the required floor area. Where scrubber dryers are used in an industrial workplace they can come in for rough treatment, so the body of the unit should be durable and resilient to the possible hard knocks that may come its way.
