Advantages of Using Multi Utility Hard Floor Cleaners

Hard floor cleaners are some of the most versatile pieces of equipment for cleaning large areas. Such machines can be used for cleaning floors and walls, as well as carpets and upholstery, when paired with the right attachments. Because hard surface cleaners often have pressure washing capabilities, these machines may also be used for removing dirt and grease from granite, metal, ceramic tile, concrete and other hard surfaces.

 

Cleaning Floors and Walls

 

The spinning head of these machines runs over the hard surface to remove the toughest dirt. Usually, hard floor cleaners have non-motorized spinners that depend solely on water pressure force, which is insufficient for cleaning as water pressure is lost when rotating the spinner head. Water pressure may not be consistent resulting in uneven cleaning. Therefore, purchase hard floor cleaners with motorized spinners, which offer powerful and effective cleaning. In contrast to the aforementioned machines, a motor is used to rotate the blade, resulting in no loss in water pressure.

 

One of the most important features of hard floor cleaners is that they can remove layers of finish or wax from large surfaces, which is something stand-alone pressure washers will find difficult to achieve.

 

Hard floor cleaners have different spinner diameters for covering small and big surfaces. A 19-inch spinner covers large floors and even outdoor hard surfaces, while spinners that are less than 10 inches in diameter are used for smaller floor and wall surfaces. This floor cleaning equipment also makes a perfect tile and grout cleaner, removing soap scum, caked on dirt, mold, and grease. The variety in size and types of attachments of floor scrubbers facilitate cleaning every inch of the surface and the long wand allows the user to reach far under tables and high spots on walls when cleaning.

 

The buyer may also purchase squeegee wands in different sizes to clean walls and floors. These wall and hard floor cleaners may have as many as six jets for even water spray and fast cleaning.

 

Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning

 

Floor steam cleaners can use water at temperatures of around 210°F for cleaning carpets and upholstery when purchased with optional carpet wands or upholstery wands. Hot water is very effective in removing dirt, grime, grease, molds, stains, embedded food residue, pet hair, and odor from carpets.

 

Additionally, high capacity tile and grout cleaner machines have solution and recovery tanks, which average 13-15 gallons in size. Suction force is maintained and is capable of water lift of 150 inches and continuous operating ability is maintained by features such as auto fill and auto dump. Floor cleaning equipment should have an upholstery wand attachment.

 

Pressure Washing

 

Top hard surface cleaning machines can be used independently as pressure washers, as well, with the addition of an optional pressure wand. Pressure washing is maintained through features such as high pressure levels (up to 1500 psi) and hose length of as much as 25 feet.

 

When selecting hard floor scrubbers, ensure that they have all the required attachments for floor cleaning, wall cleaning, scrubbing, upholstery cleaning, and pressure washes. Use appropriate pressure levels for different applications. For example, use no more than 500 psi for upholstery or carpet cleaning. High pressure levels of these machines are suitable for pressure washing.

 

Hard floor cleaning machines have many applications in commercial areas and they offer plenty of value for the money, which is why more contractors are turning to these versatile machines for multiple cleaning requirements.
