Retail and supermarkets

Shiny floors, customers always present and long opening hours: here the machine has to clean without being noticed.

In a store, cleaning happens while people are walking, or in very tight windows before opening. That changes the criteria: quietness matters, floors being immediately walkable and dry matters, manoeuvrability between aisles and around checkouts matters. Compact and ride-on scrubber-dryers cover the sales floor; single discs and polishers maintain shiny floors; vacuums serve stockrooms and back areas. For car parks and outdoor areas there are sweepers. On customer safety, a floor left wet is a slip risk: effective drying is not a cosmetic detail.

Frequently asked questions

Can floors be washed with customers in the store?

Yes, and that is why on these machines noise level and drying quality matter. A scrubber-dryer that dries well leaves the floor walkable right behind it, which reduces both disturbance and slip risk.

How many machines does a supermarket need?

Usually one scrubber-dryer sized for the sales floor, a vacuum for stockroom and back areas, and a sweeper if there is a car park to maintain. Above 2,500 m² a ride-on replaces two walk-behinds and halves the time. We come and look at the store and work out the hours.
