Whereas many people believe that floor cleaning machines are needed for cleaning hardwood or concrete flooring, there is a belief that vinyl and linoleum don’t need that kind of attention. Traditionally, vinyl and linoleum are supposed to be much easier to clean than other hard floor surfaces. But that doesn’t mean that these surfaces don’t face their own unique cleaning challenges. In fact, many conventional cleaning methods can actually cause damage to vinyl and linoleum. The old-fashioned brush and bucket method can lead to scratches and even tears on the surface. This in turn can lead to warping. Mopping usually just does a superficial job of cleaning and can cause water to soak into the linoleum or vinyl surface. Then floor steamers came into picture. These are not only safe on most kinds of flooring, but are efficient cleaning machines as well.
No More Back-Breaking Scrubbing
Floor cleaning machines that use the cleaning power of steam offer a host of benefits. The user does not have to worry about back-breaking scrubbing or scraping. These machines use steam to dissolve stains, grime, and hardened deposits that may accumulate on the surface over time. This kind of hard floor cleaner often comes with a brush attachment, which helps loosen stubborn sedimentation from the surface. A microfiber towel attachment works to mop up the slurry and residue, so that the water doesn’t have a chance to settle into the flooring.
Another huge benefit of these floor cleaning machines is that they don’t rely on any kind of chemical cleaning agents. The user does not have to deal with harsh chemical fumes during cleaning and no harsh traces will be left behind after cleaning.
