Who Should Rent a Floor Scrubber?

Floors get dirty. There's no way to prevent it. Large facilities, such as factories, distribution centers, warehouses, and even hospitals can't always afford the capital cost of buying an in-house floor cleaning machine. However, renting a floor scrubber can be the perfect solution for building service contractors, facility managers, and compliance coordinators who need to be able to maintain a clean environment. If you rent a floor cleaning machine, you get the benefits of the machine itself without the commitment of owning it outright. Here, we'll outline the benefits of renting, to help you figure out whether it's the right choice for you.

Why Rent a Floor Cleaning Machine?

First of all, few things are as helpful as the ability to try before you buy. If you are considering buying a machine, but simply aren't sure which one will best suit your needs, renting a particular model for a short period of time can help you evaluate the pros and cons before you actually commit.

Another great reason to rent is to simply save space. Many businesses just don't have space to store a large industrial floor scrubber or containers of cleaning chemicals. When you rent a floor cleaning machine, it comes and goes as needed, eliminating the need for storage space.

Cost is another big factor to consider. While renting a floor scrubber costs money each time, it's significantly less than buying, and you don't have to worry at all about maintenance or repairs. A rental arrives at your site at top performance every time.

Who Can Benefit from Renting?

Facility Managers know just how important it is to maintain a clean workspace. Larger establishments, such as factories, distribution centers, and warehouses can easily get slippery with wet or dry debris, but it doesn't always make economic sense to invest in an in-house machine to do the job. Many rely on daily clean-up procedures that work fine day-to-day, but there are definitely times throughout the year when a deep clean is necessary. Renting a floor scrubber or sweeper allows for a thorough cleaning so your facility is ready to impress when company VIPs come in to visit. Have polished or sealed concrete floors? Remember that a thorough cleaning occasionally will help maintain the finish on the floor. Dirt and dust act like an abrasive when combined with with foot or forklift traffic. Eventually it will take the shine off the floor.

Building service contractors love the ability to rent a floor cleaning machine. Contractors can upsell things like quarterly deep cleans of warehouses or parking lot sweeps. Keep in mind also that when big-box stores are under construction, the floors are the first big step. Renting a floor scrubber is the perfect way to keep floors clean and safe until the job is complete. Rentals are also good solutions for anyone in the business of installing commercial or industrial flooring, for similar reasons.

Compliance coordinators can rely on rentals because of their focus on health and safety, particularly for facilities that deal with silica dust. OSHA is cracking down on silica dust management, and understandably so. Many good floor scrubbers and sweepers these days are built with OSHA-compliant HEPA filtration systems. Renting a floor scrubber or other floor cleaning machine to help with a deep clean before your next inspection keeps your workers safe and your facility in compliance with OSHA standards. Hospitals and other large medical facilities often require deep cleaning but can't often spare the capital required to make a big purchase. Renting an industrial walk-behind floor scrubber daily, weekly, or monthly can help these facilities maintain high standards while saving money on floor machine maintenance.
