The Versatile Functions of a Commercial Floor Cleaning Machine

Commercial floor cleaning machines are more than just devices for scrubbing floors; they offer a range of functionalities that cater to different cleaning needs. They can provide a gentle yet effective routine maintenance clean, or a powerful deep clean.

During an era where thorough cleaning is crucial, such as in pandemic times, these machines guarantee surfaces are impeccably cleaned, reducing the risk of germ transmission. Furthermore, they are capable of multitasking, handling various jobs concurrently, making them indispensable assets for commercial premises.

Exploring the Different Types of Floor Cleaning Machines

Selecting the perfect floor cleaning machine or floor scrubber depends largely on the size and nature of the space you intend to clean, as well as the type of cleaning you require. Here, we delve into the primary categories: ride-on floor scrubbers and walk-behind floor scrubbers.

Ride-On Floor Scrubbers

Imagine the efficiency of a ride-on lawnmower, but applied to floor cleaning. That’s exactly what ride-on floor scrubbers offer. These machines are perfect for expansive spaces and deliver a potent cleaning action. Their user-friendly operation not only makes them simple to use, but also enhances productivity by allowing for extended cleaning sessions with minimal fatigue.

Ride-on floor scrubbers offer an all-in-one solution that scrubs, sweeps, and dries instantly. Kärcher’s specialist design ensures our models are easy to manoeuvre, delivering a thorough clean even in hard-to-reach areas.

Walk-Behind Floor Scrubbers

Similar to using a vacuum cleaner, walk-behind floor cleaning machines are guided manually during operation. These machines are ideal for tight, cluttered spaces, such as corridors, halls, and retail stores. They offer high manoeuvrability, operate quietly, and are easy to maintain, making them a practical choice for many businesses.

Mastering the Art of Operating a Floor Cleaning Machine

Operating a floor cleaning machine can be likened to driving a car – all you need to do is steer in the direction you want to go. Walk-behind floor cleaning machines, with their lightweight design, can be easily moved up steps or placed in vehicles. Furthermore, their handles can be folded down for transport, and their tanks can be effortlessly detached with one hand.

The machines are intuitively colour-coded, with yellow denoting operational components and grey indicating areas for maintenance. This intuitive design eliminates confusion and makes the machines user-friendly, even for beginners.

Making an Informed Choice: Selecting the Best Floor Cleaning Machine

Before you decide on a specific machine, there are several factors to consider. Here’s a guide to help you navigate through these considerations:

  • Space: Take into account the size of the area you need to clean. Are the spaces large or cluttered? Is it a high-traffic area that may be disrupted by a noisy or bulky model?
  • Type of dirt: Consider the kind of dirt or debris the machine will typically be cleaning. For heavy-duty cleaning, ride-on models are usually the better choice.
  • Budget: Determine how much you can spend. Opting for a quality refurbished machine, such as those offered by Kärcher, can help you secure a top-notch machine within your budget.
  • Tank size: Tank sizes vary. Depending on the area you need to clean, you’ll need to choose a tank size that won’t require frequent refilling.
  • Power source: You can choose between battery-powered or mains-powered machines, and for larger jobs there are diesel and petrol options. For battery-powered machines, ensure the battery life is sufficient to complete the job. For mains-powered machines, consider the length of the cord and the proximity of power outlets.
  • Noise level: In consumer spaces like hotels or care settings like hospitals, where minimal disturbance is crucial, a quieter model may be necessary.

The Cost Factor: What Does an Industrial Scrubber Cost?

While buying a machine outright can cost anywhere from £2,000 to £20,000, purchasing a used machine can be more cost-effective. With Kärcher’s refurbished machines, there is no significant upfront outlay, freeing up capital to be used elsewhere in your business. Moreover, hiring costs are fully tax-deductible, allowing for reductions in your tax bill in the first year. Plus, with hiring, you won’t be burdened with servicing bills.

Adapting to Various Flooring Types

Whether you need a floor scrubber for a wooden floor, tile floor, concrete, or any other surface, floor cleaning machines can adapt to all of these. With adjustable features like different brush types, disc types, and sizes, these machines can cater to a variety of uses. You can even adjust the down pressure to suit different flooring types.
