Auto-Scrubbers

Cleaning large areas is very time consuming, and often not feasible using a mop
and bucket. When floors need to be cleaned in a timely manner and dried quickly
for safety purposes, an auto-scrubber is often the best solution. The productivity
they provide can greatly outweigh their cost. Ranging from compact to industrial
size, they are available in both walk-behind and ride-on; choosing a model
depends on your specific application.

Size of the Areas to Clean
Selecting an auto-scrubber based on the largest area to be cleaned can
be a mistake. All the areas where the auto-scrubber will be used should be
considered in the final decision. For example, if you have a larger gym and many
smaller classrooms, it would be more practical to purchase a scrubber suitable
for the classrooms, and also use the same scrubber for the gym. It may take more
time in a gym than a larger scrubber, but the manoeuvrability in the classrooms
would be much more productive overall.

Door Widths
While most auto-scrubbers are designed to fit through standard doorways, some
older buildings have a variety of doorway sizes that must be measured. Take note
that the widest section of the scrubber is the squeegee.

Storage
As storage can be limited in some facilities, considering where the auto-scrubber
will be stored is an important factor. Even if a larger scrubber is required to save
time,
the facilities may only have room to store a smaller one.

Operator
The operator of the auto-scrubber is an important consideration in selecting the
best
auto-scrubber. Selecting a scrubber that is easy to operate, easy to maneuver,
and also suitable for the operator can maximize the operator’s ease and in return
greatly increase the efficiency of your staff.
