Top 3 Best Floor Scrubbers for VCT Floors

Vinyl coated tile (VCT) is an innovative floor type. They are scratch-resistant, easy to maintain, and inexpensive compared to the alternatives. It’s no surprise that many storefronts and workspaces use tiles. That’s why you want the best tile floor cleaning machine for your business’s next deep clean.

You can also find them in the education market and many types of industrial operations as well as the biggest types of commercial buildings around. VCT flooring has gotten so popular that there’s no telling where janitorial crews might find it next.

Even so, you cannot just place down VCT in your retail space or warehouse and expect that the floor will remain free of foot traffic grime. You must have floor scrubbers in place to assist with a regular routine. We recommend the top three for you. These are some of the best offered in the PS Janitorial catalog right now, so they should fit into almost any kind of workflow.

Best Scrubbers For Your Tiled Floors

The Refurbished Advance Convertamatic 26″ Scrubber is very easy to operate and handles VCT with ease. The Convertamatic uses a 24-volt battery system and changeable scrub heads so that you can adapt to the cleaning routine. Take advantage of the self-propelled nature. Use the battery charger to recharge as you need.

Deep cycle batteries that come fitted with these machines have a tendency to outlast most of the competing power supplies. You shouldn’t have to plug them in excessively often.

If you prefer a riding machine, the Tennant T7 Riding Floor Scrubber is another good choice. Tennant is a brand that combines innovation with the needs of the modern workplace and ecological awareness. Ride to reduce operator fatigue and handle large floor spaces, with the easily maneuverable controls, low learning curve, and the design optimized for rider comfort.

In some ways, it’s a great pick for those who might not be as familiar with the utility of a riding scrubber and it should work well in almost any setting. Any T7 model is going to be at least somewhat flexible, helping it to fit into a number of circumstances that you might otherwise find impossible to fit other types of cleaning machines into.

A good walk-behind is the Advance SC 900 34″ because it can cover 34,000 square feet with dual tanks. Adjust the pressure as much as you need to, especially when cleaning hard-to-reach spaces. One holds the cleaning solution and the other will suck up the dirty water separately.

Use the thirty-gallon solution tank and thirty-two-gallon recovery tank in tandem, to get that maximum scrub. Those who are looking for a traditional piece of equipment to clean their VCT floors will probably gravitate toward this device, though it by no means lacks innovative features. It is, however, built with durability in mind. You may find that it holds up to quite a bit of usage.

Taking Care Of Vinyl Tiled Floors

Vinyl is a durable material that needs conscientious care. Due to how long it can last, you may find it easy to neglect a regular routine. Yet you need to implement one that will increase the floor’s shelf life in the long term.

Remember that while it is built extremely tough compared to many other competing flooring technologies, that doesn’t mean that it’s safe to abuse it. Rather, it’s a good idea to clean them only in certain ways so that you can be certain that no damage will ever come to them as a result.

Set up a daily routine for scrubbing the tiles, ideally with an auto scrubber. Plan to polish on a regular basis. Floor polish adds a protective layer. Make sure that the type of polish that you’re using isn’t too harsh for the flooring you’ve installed.

Keep in mind that not all VCT flooring materials are created equal. There’s a chance that some polishes might actually have a negative impact on some tiles. Use something that’s not too slick. Chances are that the flooring vendor has at least some device.

When cleaning, ensure that you have mopped up all of the residues from the solution tank. This residue is likely to wear down the floor if you do not remove it, and the shelf life will be significantly reduced. Make sure that the cleaning solution itself has neutral chemicals and can be paired with a long-lasting finish.

Something that’s made from a relatively mild surfactant or solvent should work the best. This kind of soft detergent can help to get off grime without leaving a film. This is especially important when working with VCT materials that are extremely shiny since these have a tendency to be impacted more by the use of excessively strong chemicals.

You want to use color-coded pads rather than scrub brushes. Avoid brown ones because they will wear down the floor, but use black occasionally when you want to scrub deeply. Red pads are best for light scrubbing, while green and blue are best for in between.

You’ll probably want to have several pad types on you at all times. Then you can always find the right pad for the job.

As soon as you have the floor looking good again, these same recommendations can go a long way toward helping you keep them that way. You can use the tips even if you run into a situation where a great deal of grime threatens to ruin the appearance. Tile floor cleaning machines are designed to meet these challenges head-on.
