Your Scrubber Is Dying. You Just Don't Know It Yet.

Check the Brushes or Pads

Worn brushes don't clean. It's that simple. Check them before every use, or at least every day you're running the machine.

▸ Bristle Brushes

Replace when bristles are worn to half their original length. Bent or missing bristles mean it's past time.

▸ Pad-Facing

Flip or replace pads when they're worn smooth. Most pads need flipping every 4-6 hours of use.

Empty and Rinse the Tanks

Old solution grows bacteria and corrodes internal components. Empty both tanks after every use. Yes, every use.

▸ Solution Tank

Rinse with clean water after emptying. This removes residue that can clog the system.

▸ Recovery Tank

This one smells first. If it smells bad, you've waited too long. Rinse until the water runs clear.

Check Battery Charge

Nothing kills batteries faster than deep discharging. Charge after every use, even if you only used it for an hour.

▸ The 50% Rule

Never let batteries run below 20%. Ideally, charge when they hit 50%. This can double battery life.

▸ Water Levels

For flooded lead-acid batteries, check water monthly. Low water kills batteries just as fast as over-discharging.

Weekly and Monthly Chores

Some things don't need daily attention but still matter a lot:

▸ Squeegee Blades

Check for cracks, chips, and proper alignment. A damaged squeegee leaves streaks and puddles.

▸ Casters and Wheels

Hair and debris wrap around axles. Clean them out or your machine won't roll straight.

▸ Hose Inspections

Check for cracks, kinks, and blockages. A collapsed hose kills suction.
