Squeegees are an essential component of automatic floor scrubbers. They play a crucial role in cleaning floors by wiping away water and debris, leaving surfaces clean and dry. Proper maintenance and care of squeegees are essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of your automatic floor scrubber. In this blog post, we’ll discuss some tips for properly maintaining and caring for the squeegees used on an automatic floor scrubber.
- Clean the Squeegee Blades Regularly
One of the most important things you can do to maintain your squeegees is to clean the blades regularly. Over time, dirt, grime, and debris can accumulate on the blades, causing them to become less effective. To clean the blades, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any dirt or debris. You can also use a cleaning solution specifically designed for squeegees.
- Check the Blades for Damage
Another essential step in squeegee maintenance is checking the blades for damage. Look for any cracks, tears, or other signs of wear and tear. Damaged blades can affect the performance of your automatic floor scrubber, so it’s important to replace them as soon as possible. You should also check the mounting hardware that holds the blades in place and make sure it’s secure and in good condition.
- Adjust the Squeegee Height
The height of the squeegee can affect the performance of your automatic floor scrubber. If the squeegee is too low, it can leave behind water and debris, while a squeegee that is too high can leave behind streaks and residue. Adjust the height of the squeegee according to the type of flooring surface you’re cleaning. A good rule of thumb is to adjust the squeegee so that it’s just slightly touching the floor.
- Store Squeegees Properly
When not in use, it’s important to store squeegees properly. Make sure they are clean and dry before storing them. You can store them vertically or horizontally, but make sure they are not resting on the blades. This can cause them to become deformed over time.
- Replace Squeegees Regularly
Finally, it’s important to replace squeegees regularly to ensure the best cleaning performance. As squeegees wear down over time, they become less effective at wiping away water and debris, which can result in streaks and residue on your floors. Depending on usage, you should replace squeegees every 6 to 12 months.
In conclusion, proper maintenance and care of squeegees are essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of your automatic floor scrubber. By following these tips, you can ensure that your squeegees are always in good condition and provide the best cleaning performance possible.
