What can you Janitors tell me about this machine?

[Mikey P]

I have a Auto Dealership that bought one to maintain their new tile floors.

Will it work on grout that's normally recessed?

 

[floorguy]

for the most part yea..

lets see the pics of the floor...

track down a pair of the bassine brushes for it...the brushes well get in better then a pad...


what else you wanna know?

 

[dealtimeman]

yes it will do fine, but like floor guy said you need to get some brushes instead of the pads.

Don't think the squeegee will pull the dirty solution from the grout linesI would fit in a piece of Aluminum pipe fitted with a hole glide that has 2 2 in hoses to a Y 2.5 to a vac booster tied into the onboard vac system

Had church purchase one those things, it didn't matter what they did they could not keep the grout lines clean.

I have been using automatic walk-behind scrubbers for years and they never do much at all for grout. It doesn't matter if you use brushes, pads or how strong the chemicals are.

Mike here is one of my auto scrubbers on tile with some Judson Juice

I have stripping brushes on it similar to a stripping brush on a rotary

if the grout lines are larger then it will work if the head on the auto scrubber has hydraulic pressure, if the scrubber head applies pressure by the weight of the head then it probably won't work

the vacuum system also has to be powerful enough, if the scrubber is only a 2 battery machine then it probably doesn't have enough power, it won't have enough lift to get the majority of water out of the grout lines

if you use only the pads then the grout lines will eventually get dirty, the pads won't touch the grout lines
