Dust, debris, oil and other residue all come to rest on your warehouse floor. 

It waits to be walked through, slipped on or kicked back into the air by your employees. Mopping alone can’t keep an industrial warehouse clean which is why many companies invest in an industrial sweeper and/or scrubber for their facility.

Unique Floor Surfaces

Brushes play a critical role in the cleaning process, and your facility may require different types depending on the surfaces and applications. Using the wrong brush can either damage your floor or fail to clean effectively. Most manufacturers offer a range of brushes, each designed for specific surfaces and cleaning needs.

Floor Residue

If residue has built up on the floor, your company may consider investing in a second, more aggressive, set of brushes. An industrial sweeper scrubber comes standard with brushes which are ideal for scrubbing and deep cleaning; however, to cut through the original thick grime, a more aggressive brush returns the floors to a reasonable condition and saves unnecessary wear on their standard brush.

Product Damage And Waste

Using the correct brush not only improves cleaning performance but also protects your equipment and conserves cleaning chemicals. When operators struggle to clean an area, they may apply excessive pressure on the brushes and scrub deck, or use more chemicals than necessary. Depending on the application, industrial sweeper scrubber brushes typically last 6-12 months and should be replaced when visibly worn or as recommended by a service technician.
