Release time:2019-06-27
The difference between floor scrubbers and mops lies in their functions: mops generally refer to single-brush floor cleaners or scrubbing machines, and mops can also be considered a type of floor scrubber. The term "Metic floor scrubber" typically refers to a specific category of equipment—often a combination of a single-brush cleaner, a water-suction machine, and a dust mop cart all in one unit.
What are the differences between floor scrubbers and mops?
The Metengqi editor tells you.
A floor scrubber generally refers to a single-disc scrubber or a floor brushing machine. A floor scrubber can also be considered one type of floor cleaning machine. The term "Miteqi floor cleaning machine" typically refers to a specific category of such machines—often a combination of a single-disc scrubber, a water-absorbing unit, and a dust mop cart all in one device.
Simply put, a floor scrubber combines three functions in one: spraying water, scrubbing the floor, and vacuuming up the dirty water. It’s typically used on floors such as epoxy self-leveling, ceramic tiles, terrazzo, hardened concrete, and terrazzo floors with diamond grit. Its main application areas include cafeterias, hospitals, shopping malls and supermarkets, airports and train stations, parking lots, office buildings, workshops, warehouses, and other large-scale cleaning environments. Floor scrubbers come in two power options: battery-powered and corded. As for drive mechanisms, there are three types: manually pushed semi-automatic, fully automatic push-type, and ride-on floor scrubbers. Operating a floor scrubber is incredibly simple—just walk forward, and it will effectively clean away dust, oil stains, water marks, and other contaminants from the floor surface.
A floor scrubber cannot dry the floor completely. It’s typically used as a cleaning tool for small, confined spaces—cleaning floors, hardwood floors, and carpets. During cleaning, you’ll need to use a vacuum cleaner with water suction function and a carpet extractor. Floor scrubbers come exclusively in corded models. To operate it, you need to swing the device back and forth across the surface, avoiding polishing or waxing. Operating a floor scrubber requires a certain level of skill and technical expertise.
