Why It Matters

Heavy-duty brushes are essential for maintaining and restoring floors that accumulate deep-seated dirt, stains, or old finishes.

Its stiff bristles allow for thorough cleaning of textured surfaces while protecting the brush from premature wear.

For facility managers and janitorial teams, using the correct brush ensures optimal performance, reduces repeated passes, and minimizes downtime.
