Get the Job Done with a Floor Cleaning Machine
Cleaning floors can be
a big or small job, depending on where you are doing the floor cleaning. When
you’ve got a big industrial sized floor cleaning job it can certainly take some
time. Typically you’ll find cleaning companies performing this sort of work and
one of the common ways they will do this job is by putting a floor cleaning machine to use. But why do they employ machines
instead of hiring an army of workers? And how exactly does a floor cleaning machine work? Keep on
reading and you’ll soon find out.
Why Use a Floor Cleaning Unit Anyway?
Generally speaking a floor cleaning machine is a piece of
specialized equipment with the sole purpose of cleaning a floor of grime and leaving
a clean surface. It it differentiated from a floor polisher or floor buffer as
those machines are meant to polish up the surface and leave it looking sparkly
clean. A floor cleaner’s sole purpose is to remove all dirt from the floor
which is commonly done before the polisher is put to use. These machines can
cover a large amount of floor depending upon the unit size and specifications.
They can accomplish this task at a much higher rate than employing individual
workers to perform the labour and so they have become very standard in large
scale cleaning operations. There is an associated cost to run and maintain the
machine but it is still quite affordable in specific circumstances.
How Does a Floor Machine Work?
The majority of floor
cleaning machines work in a similar way by dispensing cleaning solution from a
cleaning solution storage tank, these tanks can range in size but a common size
is a 18-litre tank – as you can imagine this can provide quite a lot of
cleaning power. A typical floor cleaning
machine will function like this:
- First, the floor will be wet with scrubbers that dispense the cleaning solution
- Rotating cylindrical brushes will then scrub the floor to remove any dirt or grime
- Finally, a squeegee vacuum assembly will remove the dirty water into a storage tank while simultaneously drying the surface
Floor Machine Variations
Not all floor cleaning
machines are alike, some are battery powered and others are powered by an
electrical cord. The electrical cord variations can end up being cheaper to
maintain as there are not batteries to deal with but they suffer from more
downtime during the cleaning process as the cord must be shift and moved
around. Additionally, some floor machines may have larger storage tanks than
others allowing for a longer run of continuous use before they need to be
emptied and serviced.
When it comes to
cleaning off floors there is certainly no better piece of equipment for the
task than a professional floor cleaning
machine.
