Several types of machines are commonly used for floor cleaning, depending on the specific needs, floor type, and environment. Here are some popular types:
-
Staubsauger – Ideal for dry debris and dust removal on carpets and hard floors. There are various types, including upright, canister, and robot vacuums.
-
Bodenkehrer – Sweeps up dust, dirt, and small debris from hard floors. There are manual, battery-powered, and ride-on sweepers for larger areas.
-
Floor Scrubber (Scrubber-Dryer) – Used for wet cleaning of hard floors. It applies cleaning solution, scrubs, and then vacuums the dirty water. Available in walk-behind and ride-on models.
-
Polishing/Buffing Machine – Used for polishing and buffing hard floors, especially in commercial or industrial settings, to maintain shine.
-
Steam Cleaner – Uses hot steam for sanitizing and cleaning hard surfaces. Good for removing grime, grease, and stains without chemicals.
-
Mop and Bucket System – Traditional, but still widely used for smaller spaces or homes, especially with microfiber or spin mop technology for efficiency.
Each of these machines serves a unique purpose and can be selected based on the area size, type of flooring, and level of cleanliness desired.
