Why Use a Hospital Floor Cleaner Machine?
The traditional mop and bucket cleaning approach is severely lacking. Here’s why we recommend moving away from a mop:
- Difficult to cover a wide range of unique spaces.
- Cannot reach the high level of cleaning power required in a hospital.
- Takes longer to clean and dry.
- Often spreads dirt and residue instead of picking up debris.
- Highly inefficient when it comes to time management.
- Not the easiest way to clean, placing stress on your cleaning crew.
A floor cleaning machine or autoscrubber can cut your cleaning crew’s time down significantly and leave you with better results. Consider the benefits of choosing a cleaning machine for your space.
Sanitation
It’s no secret that hospitals need to be sanitary and adhere to strict CDC rules for cleanliness. Not only are janitorial teams worried about getting rid of dust, dirt, and grime, but they must also be able to effectively disinfect floors where bacteria could grow and cause problems.
Using a powerful walk-behind or riding scrubber gets rid of these issues quickly in large areas, while a smaller personal unit can jump into tight spaces.
Safety
Cleaning up spills, buffing out floors, and getting rid of anything that could cause someone to slip and fall is a crucial part of the hospital cleaner’s daily schedule. A floor scrubber will take care of these problems.
Additionally, the unit will leave the flooring surface with a uniform clean that can stand up to a lot of foot traffic without becoming a safety hazard.
Efficiency
Hospitals are open around the clock. A certain amount of unpredictable activity is to be expected, so janitors need to clean as quickly and efficiently as possible when they see an opening.
Long drying times and laborious processes might get in the way of the facility’s functionality and cause delays in other sectors. An autoscrubber takes care of regular cleaning duties in a fraction of the time of more traditional methods and leaves the floors with a better clean ready for the day’s activity.

The X-Scrub line of cleaning machines boasts many great features that will allow your janitorial team to clean every floor in the hospital with unmatched effectiveness.

Where Can You Use Our Floor Cleaning Machines?
We recognize that hospitals present a specific set of issues that must be addressed by the janitorial team. Using the correct hospital floor cleaner for each job is a major priority. Knowing the different spaces and their needs will help you choose the best unit for your team.
Lobbies and Waiting Rooms
Many large hospitals boast expansive lobbies and waiting rooms for patients and guests to meet, wait, or interact with staff and personnel. These are the spaces that people see the most, and making sure they’re spotless is the key to a good first impression.
When the first room a patient sees is scuffed or dirty, it makes them question the rest of the hospital and their ability to do their medical duties effectively. Keeping everything clean assures visitors that no detail is left to chance.
Hallways
Often the site of much activity, the hallways of a hospital provide active thoroughfares for gurneys, stretchers, doctors, nurses, and patients as they go from one area to the next.
Keeping these arterials clear of spills, sticky spots, dirt, and grime, can cut down on the risk of cross-contamination, smooth out rides to and from procedures, and create a more inviting and accessible facility.
Patient Rooms
Besides large open spaces, hospitals are packed with smaller patient rooms full of delicate equipment that need an effective floor cleaning solution.
Weaving around tables, cords, and equipment in patient rooms requires a cleaning machine that is maneuverable and easy to use. Getting into the small spaces between beds, furniture, and other fixtures is necessary to ensure the most sanitary conditions.
We recommend the X-Scrub Pro and X-Scrub Pro to reach these challenging areas. Our floor scrubbers pack a lot of power into compact units, enabling cleaning crews to achieve an effective clean compared to other machines in their class.
