A floor scrubber is a cleaning machine designed to scrub and clean floors, particularly in large spaces or areas with heavy foot traffic, like warehouses, malls, and hospitals. These machines typically combine scrubbing, washing, and drying functions in one.
There are two main types of floor scrubbers:
1. **Walk-behind scrubbers**: These are smaller and meant for areas that are more difficult to reach. The operator walks behind the machine while it scrubs and cleans the floor.
2. **Riding scrubbers**: These are larger machines where the operator sits on the machine, making them ideal for larger, open spaces.
Floor scrubbers use rotating brushes or pads, water, and cleaning solution to remove dirt and stains from the floor. After scrubbing, the machine uses a vacuum system to suck up dirty water, leaving the floor cleaner and drier.
They are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings due to their efficiency and effectiveness in large-scale cleaning tasks.
