and between bucket, mop, detergent and lot of effort, every walk risks turning into an endless and tiring cleaning job.
In order to simplify, speed up and improve the hygiene and sanitisation of your surfaces, the ideal solution is to rely on a home floor scrubber dryer, which with just one wipe passes thoroughly on your floors, keeping them clean and shiny, freeing you from stress and fatigue.
What is a home floor scrubber dryer
A home floor scrubber dryer is an environmentally friendly cleaning machine designed to speed up and simplify floor care in your home. As its name suggests, this tool is a 2-in-1 solution, which on the one hand washes your floor, thoroughly sanitising it, and on the other hand dries it, sucking up water and dirt... all in one go.
The speed and effectiveness of the floor scrubber dryer is aided by its very construction, consisting of:
- Ergonomic handle, allowing the tool to be used quickly and easily, simplifying all cleaning tasks, effortlessly reaching even the most hidden corners;
- Brushes, placed on the base, remove even the most encrusted stains;
- Two tanks, one containing the clean water, where detergent (preferably environmentally friendly) can be added, and one containing the waste water. This way you will always use clean water on your surfaces;
- Vacuum system, essential for removing water and dirt, ensuring a dry floor after each wipe.
Hot water and cold water floor scrubber dryer
Depending on your specific cleaning needs, you can choose between two main types of home floor scrubber dryer:
- Cold water floor scrubber dryers, such as Sprinter. This solution is ideal for the daily cleaning of all types of surfaces, even the most delicate ones;
- Hot water floor scrubber dryers, such as Crystal Clean. This product is equipped with an internal boiler that heats the output water, allowing surfaces to be washed with hot water. It is therefore ideal for cleaning very dirty or encrusted floors and for increased surface sanitisation due to the high temperature.
Cleaning with a home floor scrubber dryer: all the benefits
If you are looking for a simple and really effective solution for daily or extraordinary cleaning of your home, the home floor scrubber dryer is the product for you. This solution allows you to achieve an excellent level of hygiene, without effort and stress.
But not only that, using a home floor scrubber dryer you can:
- Speed up your every cleaning operation. By relying on this high-performance product, you can achieve the level of cleanliness you desire, removing even the toughest dirt in just one go;
- Ensure you and your family clean, but also safe floors! Thanks to the dual wash/dry action, you can say goodbye to slippery floors;
- Get even more hygiene. As opposed to a bucket and mop, thanks to the double tank of your floor scrubber dryer you will always use clean water, raising the level of cleanliness and sanitisation of your surfaces;
- Make an ecological cleaning choice. This product allows you to save water and detergent, greatly reducing the use of potentially harmful chemicals and protecting the environment.
How the home floor scrubber dryer works
Using the home floor scrubber dryer is simple and intuitive, starting with the preparation. If with traditional cleaning tools you had to prepare detergents, mop, bucket, brush, moving all these products from one room to another, if you rely on the home floor scrubber dryer, all you need is to:
- Fill the tank with water and a small amount of non-foaming detergent, according to your preference;
- Prepare the surface by removing dirt, dust, soil or coarse debris with a broom or vacuum cleaner;
- Connect the plug to the power socket (or operate the product in the case of a battery-powered floor scrubber dryer);
- Press the handle release pedal.
- Choose the type of wash (in models where this option is available). This allows you to achieve an even more effective level of cleaning.
Your home floor scrubber dryer is thus ready to operate on all your surfaces, washing, sanitising and drying in just one go.
What accessories you can use with a home floor scrubber dryer
To get even more performance out of this home cleaning machine, you can equip it with the many included and compatible accessories that will allow you to further specialise its functions, depending on your cleaning needs and the type of surface you are cleaning.
Some of the accessories to be used with a home floor scrubber dryer are:
- Compatible extension cable for even more comfort;
- Carpet brush kit;
- Roller brush;
- Squeegee kit;
- Standing base;
- Specific detergent;
- Battery and charger (in the case of battery models).
On what types of surfaces you can use a floor scrubber dryer
The main surfaces on which you can use your floor scrubber dryer are:
- Porcelain stoneware;
- Treated marble;
- Vinyl and PVC;
- Ceramic tiles;
- Painted or sealed parquet.
It is, however, not recommended to use a floor scrubber dryer on:
- Untreated parquet;
- Unfinished wooden surfaces;
- Untreated terracotta floors.
For use on fabrics and carpets, however, it is necessary to use the Carpet Kit included or compatible with your floor scrubber dryer, if any.
How to choose the right home floor scrubber dryer for you
If you are thinking of purchasing a home floor scrubber dryer, you should consider:
- The type of floor you are going to clean. As we have seen, a hot water model is less recommended on delicate surfaces such as parquet. In this case, it is better to opt for cold-water solutions such as the FIT floor scrubber dryer;
- The width of the surface. In the case of large dimensions, consider whether a battery or electric motor is more suitable, depending on your usage needs;
- The presence of obstacles. If the rooms in your home are full of furniture and objects, choose a very compact and handy floor scrubber dryer that will allow you to reach even the most hidden corners and juggle furniture;
- Compatible accessories. If you have special cleaning requirements, choose a model that can be equipped with specialised tools allowing you to customise your machine to suit your needs.
By assessing these aspects you can choose a solution tailored to your needs, optimising your investment and improving your cleaning.
How to maintain a floor scrubber dryer
To always get the most out of it, here are some tips for proper cleaning and maintaining your floor scrubber dryer:
- After each use, place the machine vertically until you hear the positioning click and empty the tanks, cleaning them carefully;
- To clean the brush, use a screwdriver to release it from the unit. Wash it under running water and dry it carefully before putting it back in the machine;
- To clean the tyres, pull them in the opposite direction and wash them under running water, using a non-aggressive detergent.
Fixing the most common problems of your home floor scrubber dryer
Here are some do-it-yourself solutions in case your home floor scrubber dryer is not working properly:
- The brush does not rotate. Check that the socket is correctly plugged in and the machine operated. In the case of an extension cable, make sure it is compatible with the power used by the engine. Finally, make sure there are no objects caught between the brushes;
- The machine does not deliver detergent. Check that the tank contains detergent and that it is fitted correctly. If the problem persists, after disassembling the brush, clean the detergent delivery nozzles with a pin;
- The machine does not dry. Check that the squeegees and hoses are all correctly positioned. Also, check the wear condition of the squeegee rubber blades and replace if necessary;
- The machine does not clean well. Check that the brush and squeegee are correctly attached. Check the wear condition of the brush and replace if necessary.
- Excessive foam production. Check that you have not put too much solution in the tank or used an unsuitable cleaning agent;
- The cleaning solution is not evenly distributed. After dismantling the brush, clean the 4 nozzles with the pin;
- The machine is leaking water. Empty the tank that collects dirty water and check the soundness of the ring seal.
If these do-it-yourself solutions do not work, please contact your nearest service centre.
By using the right precautions, you will always have a high-performance tool at your disposal, that will leave your floors clean, hygienic and dry after just one wipe, even with frequent use!
