Commercial Floor Scrubbers, Industrial Floor Scrubbers, Ride-on Floor Scrubbers, Walk-behind Floor Scrubbers

Keeping large areas of floor clean is a major challenge for places like warehouses, supermarkets, airports, hospitals, and factories. Commercial floor scrubbers are a great option, helping to reduce labor costs, increase cleaning efficiency, and ensure your floors are dust-free.

However, there are many brands and models of floor scrubbers on the market. How do you choose the right one? Here is a complete guide to help you choose the most suitable floor cleaning machine.

Determine Your Floor Type and Area

Different floor types require different floor scrubber configurations.

➤ Concrete/Warehouse Floors

Choose a heavy-duty industrial floor scrubber with strong brush pressure.

➤ Epoxy Floors/Factory Workshops

Machines equipped with adjustable water flow and soft brushes perform best.

➤ Tile Floors/Shopping Malls

Walk-behind floor scrubbers are easier to operate in shelving and confined spaces.

➤ Large Open Areas

For optimal cleaning efficiency, consider using a ride-on floor scrubber.

Tip: The larger the area to be cleaned, the larger the water tank and brush need to be.

Walk-behind vs. Ride-on

➤ Walk-behind Floor Scrubber

Best for areas of 500–3000 square meters

More affordable

Easy to operate

Perfect for supermarkets, schools, clinics, etc.

➤ Ride-on Floor Scrubber

Best for areas of 3000 square meters or larger

Higher productivity

Reduced operator fatigue

Perfect for warehouses, airports, parking lots, etc.

Consider Tank Capacity and Battery Life

For commercial cleaning, uninterrupted operation is crucial.

Solution Tank: 40–80 liters (walk-behind), 90–150 liters (ride-on)

Battery: 3–5 hours of runtime

Brush Width: 17–33 inches (depending on model)

Large capacity battery + large capacity water tank = fewer downtimes and higher efficiency.

Maintenance and After-Sales Support

Choose a manufacturer that offers the following services:

Spare Parts Supply

Service Manual

Online Technical Support

Easy-to-Maintain Design

A well-maintained floor scrubber can last 5–7 years.
