Scrubbers wash floors—solution down, brushes clean, and vacuum recovery removes dirty water. Burnishers (or buffers) run at high speed to polish and restore shine. Most buildings need both: scrub periodically to clean, burnish regularly to maintain gloss.

Match machine width and type to the space:

• Under 10,000 sq ft: Compact (14–18") walk-behind for tight spaces and restrooms
• 10,000–30,000 sq ft: Mid-size (20–26") walk-behind
• 30,000–75,000 sq ft: Large walk-behind or small rider (26–32")
• 75,000+ sq ft: Full-size rider or stand-on (32" and up)

These recommendations match current production rates—roughly 20,000–30,000 sq ft per hour for a 20" unit.

It depends on foot traffic and how you want the floors to look:

• High-traffic (lobbies, cafeterias, hallways): daily or every other day
• Moderate traffic (offices, classrooms): 1–2× per week
• Low-traffic areas: weekly or biweekly

If you maintain a gloss finish, plan to burnish several times a week between scrubs. We can help build a floor-care schedule that fits your environment.

It depends on your mix of flooring and how fast you need to cover ground:

• Carpet: Upright or backpack HEPA vacuums (e.g., CarpetMaster 215, RBV 150NX)
• Hard floors: Wide-area vacuums or sweepers
• Mixed surfaces: Cordless backpack or combo vacuums

Focus on durability, suction power, HEPA filtration, and comfort. We can show options that match your facility layout and cleaning crew size.

A solid chemical lineup covers these bases:

• All-purpose cleaner
• Glass cleaner
• EPA-registered disinfectant
• Floor cleaner and finish system
• Restroom cleaner (bowl/tile/fixture)
• Degreaser (kitchens and shop areas)
• Neutral pH cleaner (daily maintenance)

Closed-loop dilution systems take the guesswork out of mixing and typically cut chemical costs by up to 30% versus ready-to-use products.

Cleaning removes dirt, dust, and some germs using soap or detergent and water. Disinfecting kills remaining germs with EPA-registered products. Surfaces must stay wet for the full contact time (usually 3–10 minutes) to be effective. Focus disinfecting on high-touch points like handles, switches, restrooms, and shared tools.

Yes—modern EPA Safer Choice and Green Seal products perform just as well as traditional cleaners while improving indoor air quality and reducing exposure risk. Many of our customers run nearly all-green programs without sacrificing results.

Dispensing systems mix concentrated chemicals at the proper dilution automatically—either wall-mounted or portable. They eliminate overuse, improve safety, and can lower chemical spend by roughly 30%. Staff never handle concentrate directly, which helps with training and compliance.
