Floor Machine Features...what to look for There are many things retail store owners should consider in selecting a floor machine. When it comes to an automatic scrubber, which will likely be the machine of choice in most retail facilities, these are three of the most important features: Ease of use. How easy the machine is to use is especially important if there will be multiple users of the machine. Can the machine be used with minimal training? Are controls readily accessible? Operator visibility. Can different-sized users easily see over and around the machine? For safety reasons as well as cleaning performance, the operator must have a clear view of the area being cleaned. Water chemical use. Some more advanced floor machines use cylindrical brushes instead of rotary pads. These machines tend to be much easier to use and operate, but one of their key benefits is that they may use as much as 30 percent less water and cleaning solution than a traditional machine. This is not only a cost savings but more sustainable as well. Filtration. If using a sweeper, it is important to select a system that has high air filtration to help prevent dust from being released from the machine’s exhaust. Battery life and type of battery. Some batteries will perform longer between charges than others and some are more environmentally responsible than others. Be sure and look into these issues before making a product selection. Selecting the right floor machine to care for your floors is a very important decision. Floors say a lot more about your store than you may realize. In today’s competitive retail climate, anything that can give you the edge—even if it is your floors—should be considered thoughtfully.
