At Okum Supply, our Wet Vac Floor Machines collection features commercial-grade solutions that combine strong suction, reliable build, and efficient performance.
Whether you’re dealing with routine washdowns or unexpected spills, these machines help maintain safe, dry surfaces in any facility.

WHERE & HOW TO USE WET VAC FLOOR MACHINES
Wet vacs excel in environments with frequent moisture exposure or washdowns.
Common Use Case
- Industrial manufacturing floors subject to spills or washdowns
- Food & beverage production zones
- Commercial kitchens, cafeterias, and prep areas
- Parking garages, wet surfaces, and storm-exposed spaces
- Facilities with daily mopping or deep-clean operations
- Maintenance areas, mechanical rooms, and zones with standing liquid
In all these settings, wet vacs ensure safety, hygiene, and efficient drying.
SURFACES & CONDITIONS REQUIRING CAUTION
While wet vacs are highly versatile, certain conditions need attention:
- Uneven or cracked surfaces — squeegee may catch or skip
- Delicate flooring — use gentle nozzle pressure
- Heavy solids or debris-laden liquids — pre-filtering or heavy-duty models recommended
- Mixed-floor transitions — use care when crossing wet/dry boundaries
- Electrical hazards — avoid areas with exposed wiring or power sources
Always test the machine in a small area first and verify water recovery before full-area operation.
