5 Methods Of Cleaning Equipment
There are five main methods of cleaning:
- Scrubbing
- Sweeping
- Burnishing
- Extracting
- Vacuuming
Each of these methods has a specialized cleaning machine that does the work for you. There are also combination machines that work well in larger areas that need a quick, deep cleaning. You can keep your customers and employees safe and healthy by using cleaning machinery to perform these five cleaning methods.
Floor Scrubbers
A floor scrubber is a machine that uses a brush or pad, a squeegee, and a water-detergent solution to clean any hard floor. There are three types of floor scrubbing machines: walk-behind, ride-on or stand-on, and autonomous. Floor scrubbers are ideal to use in spaces like warehouses, retail stores, and hospitals where the floors are constantly getting dirty from the number of visitors and workers walking on them.
Sweepers
Sweepers use large broom brushes to remove debris, dust, and waste on carpets and hardwoods. This type of cleaning equipment can be used both indoors and outdoors, making it a great option for schools and businesses with patio spaces. Sweepers are either manually pushed or a ride-on.

Burnishers
A burnisher polishes hard floors by operating a pad at high speeds to add a high gloss finish, making your floors look like new. There are electric cord floor burnishers or battery-powered burnishers, so you can choose which one you need depending on how much time it takes to polish your entire space. The ride-on and walk-behind burnishers options are great to use in hotels and corporate buildings where clean floors can make a statement.
Carpet Extractors
A carpet extractor provides low-moisture floor cleaning to carpeted floors. They dispense a cleaning solution into the carpet and extract the moisture and dirt to leave the carpet looking just like new. Carpet extractors can come as a ride-on, a walk-behind, compact, or portable and will keep conference centers and hotels clean and hygienic for guests.

Vacuums
A vacuum sucks up and removes dust, dirt, and debris from floors, furniture, and other surfaces.
As one of the best types of cleaning machines, a vacuum helps clear large debris so that other types of cleaning equipment can be used. Three types of commercial vacuums include dry canister, upright, and wet and dry. There are even more types of vacuum cleaners for industrial settings. Vacuums are versatile and easy to use for all commercial spaces, making them necessary for any cleaning team.
