A good majority of companies that use floor scrubbers might actually be getting rid of them before they ever need to. You might be surprised by that suggestion, but it’s quite true.
The lifespan of floor scrubbers has grown steadily over time. While it’s difficult to put an exact number of years on any specific design, they often last longer than you might expect. Unfortunately, quite a few firms have to purchase new machines on a regular basis for contractual reasons or due to other concerns.
Depending on the specific type of unit you have, it can be hard to accurately predict the lifespan. For instance, as long as you keep a propane-driven floor scrubber properly fueled and all of its connections tight the machine should last for quite some time. While it needs a small amount of maintenance, a propane-driven device should prove quite safe as well.
Battery-powered machines will eventually require their batteries to be replaced, due to the fact that they will slowly lose the ability to maintain voltage. Once you do, however, you should find that the motors and other moving parts will only require a bare minimum of maintenance.
Pads and other consumables of course need to be replaced on a somewhat regular basis, and different components will have their own certified lifespans. Depending on how much you use your unit, these parts will wear out more or less frequently. That being said, proper care of them will ensure that the rest of the floor scrubber’s mounted machinery should last for quite some time.
High-use will naturally wear machine parts down over time, though heavy-duty floor scrubbers have a tendency to be able to hold up to this sort of usage more than other options. Companies that perform janitorial services for outside organizations will probably want to invest in this kind of equipment.
Floor scrubbers, when cared for properly, should last a number of years. If you purchase a new floor scrubber and take care of it in a manner specified by the original equipment manufacturer, then you shouldn’t have problems with it for a number of years.
Naturally, you’ll need to replace pads and batteries over time, but the underlying unit shouldn’t break down when treated properly. Some companies have to dump their devices onto the secondhand market faster than this, however, and when that happens they end up at dealers.
Once a machine comes into PS Janitorial, we give it to our technicians who are experienced with putting together refurbished machines. They’ll double-check that everything works and then replace the batteries and any spare parts with certified components so you can be sure you’re getting a like-new system. The device should, in turn, work just as long as a new one as well.

Most of these still have plenty of life left in them, and they end up at Performance Systems Janitorial. We perform a full inspection to ensure that any refurbished unit you get will have a lifespan similar to that of a new machine. You get a higher value out of our wares.
Eventually, every machine does reach its end of life. When that happens, make sure to contact us at PS Janitorial. Our experienced team will help you find a machine that can serve as a replacement for any floor scrubber you’ve been working with to clean tile and concrete surfaces.
Thinking about purchasing an automatic floor scrubber? There are a lot details to think about. Not just the construction and reliability but also maneuverability, coverage, the floor surface being scrubbed, type of debris being removed from the floor and budget requirements. A person can damp mop about 5,000 square feet of floor area in an hour. Automatic floor scrubbers can do 5 times that and more and be an essential part of your floor cleaning program.
Cleaning a floor is labor intensive. Automatic scrubbers can increase productivity, reduce labor hours, increase efficiency, and clean better than a mop. Up to 90% of the cost of cleaning is labor. Everything you can do to reduce this cost affects your budget. The one time cost of a floor scrubber can easily be justified by the savings in labor. The larger the facility, the larger the savings in labor.
If you’re not sure which machine may be right for your application, remember this, the machine with the lowest price tag is not necessarily the best machine for the job. Look at the Return on Investment (ROI). Even though it may be more expensive, a larger machine capable of cleaning much larger areas may be a better investment. The larger the coverage area, the greater the productivity and efficiency and the bigger the savings in labor.
To determine the ROI is a relatively simple process. Divide the Cost of the machine by the monthly labor savings. For example, if the equipment cost is $8,000.00 and the monthly labor savings is $1500.00, divide $8,000 by $1500. The result means you will have the machine paid for in a little over 5 months. The typical lifespan of an automatic scrubber is approximately 7 years. If well cared for the life span can reach 10 years. That means you will be saving $1500.00 per month in labor for the next 9.5 years. That’s a labor savings of $171,000.00 over 10 years on an $8,000.00 investment. Once you realize how much you can save in labor you may be able to justify an even larger scrubber, or you may be able to add additional equipment to do an even better job cleaning and add to the labor savings.
Make sure you are selecting the right machine for the job. This is a long term investment and selecting the wrong equipment may be something you have to live with for a long time.
Determining the right scrubber for your application is only the first step in the process. Now you must determine where to purchase it. For most facilities finding an expert local distributor is the way to go. Local distributors typically have multiple lines of equipment from which to choose. They also have experts in the floor care industry and the local parts and service departments to back up the equipment after the purchase. Make sure to have a representative complete an in depth facility survey that takes into consideration all of your issues and concerns. Local distributors can then demonstrate the scrubbers that will do the best job and stay within your budget requirements.
