Maintenance Is Key With Automatic Floor Scrubbers

Automatic floor scrubbers are a boon to any business. They maintain a clean environment which encourages increased productivity and sales. Like any industrial machine, however, automatic floor scrubbers can still fail for any number of reasons. You can certainly ignore these if the failures or minor, but, soon enough, they'll accumulate into a major issue which results in total failure. This means having to hack away from the business’ budget for a new one or continue operating without one.

This is why regular maintenance is a priority for your automatic floor scrubber. If you or a member of your team doesn't have the capability to perform basic maintenance, look to the company where you purchased the scrubber. First, carefully examine the warranty to see what mechanical failures it covers. What may be happening could be covered in the documentation. To be safe, consider purchasing a maintenance package from the company. Again, read carefully to see if it covers annual/semi-annual maintenance or just emergencies.

Having the warranty and maintenance plan can provide a buffer, but simple maintenance performed by you and your team is what keeps the automatic floor scrubber running. Ensure you have enough backup cleaning and machine fluid available as well as the brushes used to work the floors. Replace these at regular intervals. Additionally, check any filters on the scrubbers. Clean and refit them on the device every week to prevent clogs in any of the components. Performing these simple tasks can keep your automatic floor scrubber going for years to come.
