Floor Machines & Accessories FAQ

• Can I reduce freight costs when ordering floor care supplies?

  Yes. Consolidating floor machines, accessories, and consumables into fewer, larger orders typically lowers freight cost per unit and reduces the number of shipments. It also helps ensure you have the right replenishment items when scheduled maintenance comes up.

• How do I choose the right pad or brush for my floor?

  Select based on surface type, soil level, and whether you are cleaning, polishing, or stripping. More aggressive options remove more material but can dull or damage finishes if misused. If you are standardizing across sites, choose a small set of pad types that cover your most common tasks.

• What accessories should I keep in stock to avoid downtime?

  Keep the most frequently replaced items on hand: pads, brushes, pad drivers/holders, and any wear components your team uses regularly. Stocking these in bulk reduces emergency orders and helps crews stay on schedule.

• What floor machine do I need for scrubbing vs polishing?

  Scrubbing focuses on soil removal and typically uses more aggressive pads or brushes with a cleaner. Polishing or spray buffing prioritizes gloss and uses less aggressive pads and compatible maintenance products. Match the machine and accessories to the task and floor type to avoid finish damage.

• Which brands are available in this category?

  This category includes commercial options from Mercury Floor Machines, Sanitaire, Americo, Bona, and Diversey. Brand choice is often driven by your floor type, performance requirements, and standardization goals across locations.
