Industrial floor cleaning is an incredibly important task when it comes to industrial properties, and too often companies overlook it. Or they endeavour to provide a safe level of cleaning through manual cleaning with a mop and bucket when the reality is that cleaning industrial floors without the right floor-cleaning machine is almost impossible!
In order to get your industrial floor clean, you need to know which floor-cleaning machines are worth your time, and which will work for your specific property. Here's everything you need to know to help you determine which floor-cleaning machines and floor-cleaning services are right for you.
No hassle, no obligation—just a fair price for top-quality cleaning.
There are lots of things to consider when you contact experts like EMS Powerwash to hire floor cleaning machines and services. If you're unsure which of the commercial floor cleaning machines would be most suitable for your floor types, here are some things to think about. Check out our post to find out more about how industrial floors are cleaned e.g ‘How to clean warehouse floors’ & ‘ How to clean industrial concrete floors’
Perhaps the most important thing to consider is the material of the floor that you need to clean. Different types of floor-cleaning equipment work best on different surfaces, for example, vacuum cleaners work well on carpets but floor sweepers might not. A scrubber dryer, a polishing, and floor sweepers are ideally suited to harder surfaces.
Once you've thought about this, you will likely have blacklisted a few different services and types of floor cleaning equipment, which will make it easier for you to pick between the services companies like EMS Powerwash offer.
The next thing to think about is how big your floor space is. Most industrial floor cleaning tools come in different sizes to accommodate for different size spaces. If you've only got a small warehouse or classroom that needs to be cleaned, you'll find that a smaller cleaning tool will be much more useful than a large ride-on scrubber dryer!
Similarly, in larger spaces and smaller spaces, you often find that there is limited access to power supplies. This means that you'll either need extension cables, or a cable-free battery-powered scrubber dryer or other cleaning device. It will save time to figure this out before your hired floor cleaning team or machines turn up!
Floor cleaning machines can be used everywhere from hospitals to classrooms, warehouses to offices. Each space will not only have a different floor type but they'll have different types of dirt, too. In order to achieve thoroughly clean results, this needs to be taken into consideration before you choose from the extensive range of cleaning options.
For wet dirt, you will need something that can hold liquid or dry the surface. For heavy-duty grime, you will need something like a scrubber dryer, whereas for light dust may just need sweeping as opposed to anything more extreme.
Finally, both for your and their comfort and safety, you should consider whether you're going to be cleaning the building when it is empty or whether there will be people around. Many of the machines listed are loud, and so if there will be members of staff around the noise levels must be kept to a comfortable minimum or ear safety measures need to be taken.

Now, when it comes to industrial floor cleaning, we aren't talking about getting out a cleaning cloth or floor wipes. That kind of manual cleaning is just not suitable for larger areas like industrial floors. Instead, you've got to find the right floor cleaning machine to have a properly effective floor cleaning solution.
Here are some of the most popular floor-cleaning machines that experts like EMS Powerwash use for industrial floor cleaning.
This device is an upgrade from your usual wooden broom. Available in a huge range of sizes to best suit the space provided, floor sweepers use brushes to sweep the dirt, filth, and dust from the floor. The floor sweepers collect the debris and deposit it into a unit so that it can be removed and thrown away at a later date.
Some floor sweepers have dust extraction capabilities, which can be incredibly beneficial in the right properties. Other floor sweepers are larger, designed for those even larger, and rideable, making the cleaning process much easier. These larger machines are great for larger areas as they have larger hoppers (the unit that carries the debris and dust) and cover a lot of space significantly faster than their smaller counterparts.
Floor scrubber dryers and scrubbers are another subset of floor cleaning machines that are incredibly useful. They will use brushes to work the cleaning products into the floor, removing any dirt. The leftover residue is then collected by squeegees as the machine rolls over the mess.
If you're interested in a scrubber dryer or a scrubber dryer service, it is important to know that they come in a range of sizes and models. There are standing models and ride-on scrubber driers, and you can even find high-pressure scrubber dryer models out there if needed.
These are great commercial floor cleaning machines that not only dislodge and remove dirt from the surface of the floor but then also polish the surface. By polishing the surface you can bring the original shine and beauty back into the surface.
For carpet flooring, vacuum cleaners are a great option. Not your ordinary Henry Hoover, commercial floor cleaning machines are larger and come in a range of sizes and models. There is the option of wet and dry vacuum cleaners, too, which can be used on even more surfaces.
Commercial vacuum cleaners often also function as hard surface cleaners and can be really efficient at removing wet patches, stubborn dirt, and other debris.
If you've already got a sanitation team, why bother upgrading to industrial floor cleaning machines? After all, it's just another way to scrub floors, right?
Well, for one, machines save time. By saving time, they save you money. But beyond that, often manual labour leaves behind residue, or misses spots due to human error. This could lead to slips, trips, and in some cases, even fires and illnesses. If you want to do all you can to keep your business and those who interact with it safe, then contact EMS Powerwash today about industrial floor cleaning services.
