Compact Automatic Scrubbers for the Hospitality Industry


When you hear the words “Commercial Floor Scrubber”, you might think of cleaning large concrete spaces such as warehouses or 10,000-square-foot grocery stores. While all of these spaces require commercial equipment to keep them clean and safe, commercial cleaning machines are not reserved for enormous spaces. In fact, the hospitality industry can benefit from floor machines specifically designed for smaller areas. Take, for example, Mastercraft’s line of automatic scrubbers. Available in electric (RA 300) and battery-powered (RA 320) models, these machines are perfect for restaurants, small to mid-sized hotels and event spaces. Depending on the nature of the space, it may be best to select an electric or battery-powered machine. Consider the benefits of each device.

The RA 300 walk behind scrubber has some unique features that ease the task of scrubbing the toughest messes out of your floors. It’s cleaning operation works moving forward and in reverse, reducing the amount of time spent maneuvering the device around some of those tighter spaces. It also features two quick release sponges to aid in deep cleaning, along with dual squeegees that assist in drying the floor as you clean it. Since this machine is electric, there is virtually no limit to how long it can be operated at a time. If your floor takes 2 hours to clean, the RA 300 mini floor scrubber will allow you to accomplish it at once. If time is not one of your primary concerns, consider the battery-powered counterpart of the RA 300 that packs some additional features and benefits.


The RA 320 industrial floor scrubber packs all of the precision cleaning power of the RA 300 while adding the versatility of battery power. This compact machine is easy to maneuver and is also ideal for spaces ranging up to 2,000 square feet. The benefits of battery power are that it increases portability and convenience as well as saving time. The brush speed is also nearly twice that of its electric counterpart. The RA 320 also features two detachable tanks that keep the cleaning solution and dirty water that results from cleaning separate. There is a limit to how long you can clean between charges.

How do you justify the big investment in ride-on equipment?

When Marlin Wynia is not at work as director of housekeeping for Oregon State Hospital, he volunteers as a referee at a local high school. While walking through the school one evening, Wynia saw a custodian cleaning the long hallways with a rider floor scrubber.

The encounter got Wynia thinking that perhaps he should consider similar equipment for the hospital. After all, his 340-acre campus has more than 2 miles of concrete tunnels used for transporting patients between buildings.

When Wynia finally purchased the hospital’s first riding floor scrubber machine, he wasn’t disappointed.

“We use it to clean the tunnels every week,” Wynia says. “It cut our time significantly. We used to do it with a 20-year-old ‘pusher’ or walk behind floor scrubber and it took us three or four days. Now we can do it all in a few hours.”

Driven by cleaning managers’ requests for technology that allows them to do more with less, manufacturers continue to fine-tune ride-on floor scrubbers and floor care equipment. Today, the industry boasts ride-on sweepers, vacuums, scrubbers and polishers. The latest? Ride-on burnishers.

While this automated equipment is a smart solution for many facilities, it may not be a good fit for every building. Housekeeping managers must consider many factors, including the size and storage space of their facility, their budget and cleaning needs, and their employees’ skills and training requirements.

Size wise

Ride-on equipment is most logical for large, open spaces. Cleaning Temple University’s field house, which houses four basketball courts, with a traditional walk-behind machine would be tedious and time-consuming. Instead, the cleaning crew uses a riding sweeper-scrubber combination to make the textured rubber floor shine.

“Having a person walk behind and push a machine would be a lot of labor,” says Virginia Arnsberger, director of housekeeping. “With this machine, within an hour or hour and a half, you can scrub and vacuum the whole floor.”

Custodians at Washoe County (Nev.) School District’s two new high schools use ride-on scrubbing machines for the schools’ wide hallways. Although the areas could be mopped by hand, the automated machines cut cleaning time in half, says Harry Kirkbride, the district’s housekeeping field supervisor.

A ride-on floor scrubber make the grade in smaller spaces; neither Arnsberger nor Kirkbride use them in their classrooms. Stephanie Maxwell, facility coordinator at Samaritan Village Senior Community in Hughson, Calif., agrees.

“We’ve looked into them, but we can’t justify it,” she says. “Our residents’ rooms are about 800 square feet. We don’t even have the room to store something like that.”
