Floor Scrubber Machines - Advancements in Scrubbing Technology

Floor scrubber cleaning machines have come a long way since the first vacuum cleaners were invented in the 1860's. The original carpet sweeper created by Daniel Hess in Iowa in the US actually had a rotating brush as well as an elaborate system of bellows on-top which created suction. Thankfully nowadays vacuum cleaners and scrubber machines are electrically powered and require a lot less effort than the very first machines.

The 4 Main Types of Floor Scrubber

There are 4 main types of floor scrubbing machines on the market today, all with their own feature list which makes them ideal for different environments and market sectors. They range from those floor scrubbers which can easily be packed away and stored, those which are battery operated or mains operated and also scrubbing machines which ride-on' or standard, i.e. those which the operator walks behind the machine and guides it around the area which needs scrubbing. There are even scrubbing floor cleaning machines which have an artificial mind of their own and are able to scrub large areas all by themselves.

1. Fold-away Floor Scrubbers

In small businesses where space is at a premium floor cleaning machines and vacuums need to be stored away in small cupboards and storage areas and so folding floor scrubbing machines are needed. On these models the main arm used to maneuver the machine can be folded in several places making the machine compact when not in use.

2. Mains & Battery Operated

In environments where the available power sockets are some distance from the floor which needs scrubbing and extended power leads are not an option, then a battery operated floor scrubber is the answer. The in-built battery can charged and used for around 4 hours before a re-charge is required or alternatively the battery can be replaced if necessary. Though mains operated floor scrubbers are the most popular, the battery operated model is more suited for small washrooms with hard to reach areas which would be awkward with a trailing power lead.

3. Ride-on or Walking Machines

If you are looking for a floor scrubber machine for large areas inside warehouses or retail units then a ride-on machine is most likely the option for you as the operator can steer the machine around corners and obstacles as they have a good vantage point. These types of floor scrubbing machine have 250 litre water tanks as well as an equivalent tank to collect dirty water. Alternatively there are similar models which can be operated by someone walking behind and steering the scrubber.

4. Robotic Floor Scrubber Machines

Alternatively if you require a high specification floor scrubber for a large cleaning environment which has minimal obstacles then a robot floor scrubber may be the option best suited for you. All that is required is for you to allow the unit to start up, set in the program and let it start cleaning all by itself and with a floor cleaning capacity of up to 1,000 sq ft from each 4 hour charge. Plus because it has its own eyes' in the form of sensors it is able to avoid obstacles such as walls, doors and humans before continuing its floor cleaning job without taking breaks.

Floor Scrubbing Technology

Each brand of floor scrubber has its own unique selling point or feature which helps businesses keep their floors clean. The range of scrubber features and machines available gives the consumer a wide choice of cleaning solutions.

Foldable scrubbers tend to be good at accessing small inaccessible areas in washrooms, battery operated models are good for cleaning areas away from power sockets and have the added advantage of them not getting the power lead tangled under the machine or around door frames. Whilst ride-on floor scrubbers give the operator comfort on long shifts and more visibility with the advantage of being able to continue cleaning for hours without a refill or re-charge. Plus then there is the robotic floor scrubber which enables the operator to get on with other duties as it cleans the floor area all by itself.
