As part our of our Back-To-Basics series, we are taking a closer look into cleaning equipment. Having previously explored sweepers and AI cleaning machines, this week we’re taking a look at Scrubber Dryers.
What Is A Scrubber Dryer?
A scrubber dryer is an industrial floor cleaning machine which will clean, scrub and dry floors simultaneously. Manual walk-behind machines and larger ride-on models are both available. You are likely to see them in lots of different industries but most commonly, they are often the machine of choice for commercial, and warehouse settings.
What Industries Are They Used In?
Scrubber dryers are well suited to clean large industrial areas like warehouses, factories, hospitals, and shopping centres as they are used to clean hard surfaces such as tiles, concrete or vinyl floors. Scrubber dryers are an effective solution for cleaning dirt, oil, grease and debris from the floor in one pass, leaving the area clean and dry first time.
What Types Of Industrial Scrubber Dryers Are There?
Pedestrian Scrubber Dryer
Pedestrian scrubber dryers are effective cleaning machines for smaller or more confined areas. It combines scrubbing and drying in one motion, making it easy to manoeuvre and operate.
Ride-on Scrubber Dryer
Ride-On Scrubber Dryers provide a powerful cleaning solution for larger spaces. It combines scrubbing, vacuuming, and drying in one movement, making it efficient and simple to use.
Scrubber Dryers vs Manual Cleaning
Scrubber Dryers are much less labour intensive than mopping and achieve a more consistent and reliable clean. They are also a more time efficient cleaning solution, providing a way to cover more floor area in less time whilst still achieving excellent cleaning results.
From a health perspective, manual cleaning and mopping involves you having to reapply the same water over the cleaning area. This results in the spread of germs and dirt. The floor can also remain wet after mopping unless manually dried. However, with a scrubber dryer, the machine releases the cleaning agent and scrubs the dirt from the floor surface, but is then quickly followed by a second action, usually in the form of a squeegee bar at the back of the machine to remove any excess liquid.
