The most popular machines for cleaning hard floor areas are battery floor scrubber driers and battery factory sweepers. We have a large range of scrubber driers and sweepers for all sizes of floor. If you need to clean a large area we would recommend a ride-on floor scrubber drier or sweeper. For smaller areas we have compact push along cleaning machines.
Regular cleaning with one of our industrial cleaning machines will resolve dirty floor issues. A battery floor scrubber drier can be used daily. For larger areas a battery sit-on floor scrubber drier might be a better solution, these machines are also designed for daily use.
