How Often Should You Use a Floor Scrubber?

It can be exciting to get  anew piece of equipment, but it’s also fairly common to have questions about how to get the most out of it. A common question that people need answered is: how often should you use the floor scrubber?

The answer depends, so we’ll make sure to cover the two most common cases.

Deep Cleaning

For businesses like restaurants , convenience stores and retail shops, a floor scrubber will often be used in the daily “deep cleaning”. At the end of each day, operators will ensure that the full facility is cleaned. In many cases this is done with deck brushes to take care of the stubborn messes. With a floor scrubber, you can do this all in one pass, no need for the hard labor.

Event venues will also opt for a deep clean, but they don’t always have an event every day. In cases like this owners will use their floor scrubber once in between each event to make sure everything is ready for the next party to roll through.

Replacing the Mop and Bucket

If your main goal is to ditch the mop and bucket for everyday maintenance, how often you will use your machine becomes much more difficult to predict and that’s a good thing. The frequency of use will depend on the weather, foot traffic, spills and whatever else owning a business decides to throw at you.

Some days you might do one pass, but other days you might be wheeling out a machine every hour. Compact floor scrubbers like the Mopit floor scrubber are designed to take on these challenges.
