MAINTENANCE GUIDES
How to Reduce Floor Scrubber Downtime
Downtime costs more than the repair. Cleaning still has to happen, usually through overtime or manual methods, and the disruption compounds across a site.
Hold the consumables you use most
Squeegee blades, brushes or pads and filters account for a large share of stoppages. Keeping a small holding on site turns a lost shift into a five-minute change.
Schedule maintenance rather than reacting
Planned servicing fits into quiet periods; breakdowns never do. Book maintenance around your operating calendar.
Make reporting easy
A checklist beside the machine and a named person to report to stops small faults from being ignored until they stop the machine.
Standardise across sites
Operations running similar machines across locations can share consumables, training and service arrangements, which shortens response times and simplifies stock holding.
Talk it through with someone who knows the machines
Tell us about the floor, the cleaning window and the constraints. We will tell you what suits the site — including when a smaller machine is the better answer.
