Why Brush Pressure Determines Everything
Brush pressure is the most overlooked spec in floor scrubber shopping. Too little and the machine can't clean. Too much and you'll damage polished floors and wear out brushes 3x faster. Here's your pressure guide by application.
Pressure Guide by Facility Type
Retail/supermarket: 30-40kg — gentle on polished tile, enough for daily dirt. Warehouse: 50-70kg — handles tire marks and light debris. Factory/manufacturing: 80-100kg — cuts through oil, grease, and caked-on soil. Hospital/school: 30-50kg — balanced for tile and vinyl.
Pressure vs Floor Damage
Above 60kg, never use on polished marble, granite, or sealed wood. The pressure will etch or scratch the surface. Always match brush pressure to your softest floor type — not your dirtiest.
