An auto scrubber is a floor-cleaning machine designed for efficient, deep cleaning of various floor types in commercial environments. It combines scrubbing with a detergent solution and vacuuming in one pass, using rotating brushes or pads to remove dirt. The machine dispenses cleaning solution, scrubs the surface to loosen dirt, and then vacuums up the dirty water, leaving floors clean and dry. Ideal for maintaining large floor areas, auto scrubbers are commonly used in malls, hospitals, schools, and warehouses, significantly reducing labor and improving cleanliness compared to traditional mopping methods.

Terrazzo | ✅ Yes | Use white or red pads; neutral pH cleaners only |
Rubber Flooring | ✅ Yes | Use cylindrical brushes or soft pads; avoid overly wet methods |

Unsealed Natural Stone | ⚠️ Risk — can etch/damage easily if wrong chemical is used |
Raised computer floors / Loose tile systems | ⚠️ Can shift tiles or allow water underneath |
