How to choose the best floor scrubber
Choosing the best floor scrubber is a critical step in planning your cleaning program. In most cases, the best floor scrubber is the one that minimizes your labor costs, allowing your staff to efficiently complete their work and free up time for other tasks. The labor savings from using a wider floor scrubber will easily offset the additional capital expense of the larger machine.
Job Size
The first factor you need to consider is the job size. How much area do you need to scrub daily? Use the table to the right to find the best floor scrubber for a given amount of floor space.
Space Constraints
The second factor to consider is space constraints. Will the scrubber fit everywhere it needs to go? The best floor scrubber will work with your doorway sizes, check-out aisle width and elevator size. Each floor scrubber has dimensions on its catalog sheet to help you decide.
