Start Spring Cleaning With PowerBoss

Cleaning warehouses or industrial areas can seem overwhelming when tackled with inefficient equipment like a mop and bucket. Thankfully, there’s a better way. Powerboss industrial cleaning equipment saves you time and labor costs on your biggest cleaning jobs. Read on to learn how an entry-level Minuteman PowerBoss floor scrubber can revolutionize your spring cleaning. 

Mops Don’t Actually Clean Your Floors

If a deep clean is your goal, then your traditional mop and bucket won't do. You only have to see a mop in action to see how inefficient and sloppy it is to use. 

Floor scrubbers, on the other hand, offer an exceptional clean in no time at all. These cleaning machines provide a constant flow of cleaning solution to powerful scrub brushes that easily remove dirt, grime, and grease from your floors. Unlike a mop and bucket, scrubbers only use freshly cycled cleaning solution with each application.. Any dirty or soiled solution is sucked into an antimicrobial collection tank, leaving dry clean floors.

PowerBoss Saves Time and Money

The traditional mop and bucket are cheaper to buy, but expensive to operate; however, depending on the project it could ultimately cost the company more when factoring in labor and products.  For instance, on average, labor accounts for 90% of the total cost of cleaning a facility. One person can clean up to 5,000 square feet per hour using a mop and bucket. So, if you have a 20,000-square-foot facility, it will take them at least 4 hours to clean.

However, floor scrubbers are much more efficient. The PowerBoss Phoenix 20, for example, can consistently clean 20,000 square feet per hour. That means it could clean the facility in the example above in only 1 hour. That efficiency saves you 3 hours of labor costs.

In the end, a PowerBoss floor scrubber will cost more upfront than a mop. However, what you save in labor costs will more than make up the difference in no time.
