Key Benefits

The Rubber Blade measuring 31.125"/790mm is a premium replacement component engineered for commercial and industrial floor cleaning equipment. Crafted from durable, high-quality rubber, this blade delivers consistent performance by maintaining full contact with the floor surface. Its flexibility allows it to adapt to slight floor irregularities, ensuring thorough water removal and leaving surfaces streak-free after each pass. Designed for reliability, the blade withstands repeated use in high-traffic environments, making it an essential tool for janitorial teams and facility maintenance professionals.

Why It Matters

Floor scrubbers and squeegees rely on the integrity of their rubber blades for efficient operation. Over time, blades become worn, cracked, or deformed, reducing their ability to effectively remove water, cleaning solutions, and other residues. This can lead to streaks, slippery surfaces, and compromised cleanliness, impacting both safety and appearance. Replacing rubber blades regularly ensures that your floor cleaning equipment performs at peak efficiency, enhancing the overall quality of your cleaning operations while maintaining a professional look for your facilities.

Installation Tips

Installing the Rubber Blade is straightforward but requires attention to detail. Begin by cleaning the squeegee assembly to remove debris, old adhesive, or dirt that may interfere with a proper fit. Align the new blade carefully, ensuring that it makes even contact with the floor. Secure the blade using screws, clamps, or fasteners as specified by the equipment manufacturer. Proper installation prevents gaps, curling, or uneven contact, which could reduce cleaning efficiency or cause streaking.

Maintenance Best Practices

Maintaining your rubber blade is key to extending its service life. After each use, rinse or wipe the blade to remove any dirt, chemical residues, or floor debris. Inspect regularly for signs of wear, cracks, or uneven edges. If the blade shows any deterioration, replace it promptly to maintain optimal cleaning performance and floor safety. Avoid storing the blade in extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, as this may accelerate rubber degradation.
