Floor Care

At Thornton Brothers, we are always looking for new and innovative ways to help our clients keep their work places clean and safe. Floor care can be a large part of that effort for an office or work area. We carry a wide selection of floor care equipment. Below is a list of the types of floor equipment we carry with a definition of each type of equipment and product recommendations for each.

Types of Equipment offered by Thornton Brothers

Vacuums
Auto Scrubbers
Burnishers
Finish Applicators
Multipurpose Floor Machines

Definitions and Recommendations

Auto Scrubber

Auto scrubbers are an important piece of commercial floor maintenance equipment. Auto scrubbers can be used daily for cleaning floors made of concrete, ceramic, porcelain, stone, vinyl composition tile and wood tile. Auto scrubbers can apply cleaning solution, scrub, strip, clean, wet vacuum and squeegee the floor dry all in one pass. Auto scrubbers use batteries and motors and greatly reduce the amount of time spent cleaning large, open floor areas.

Recommended Products
We recommend the Wrangler Line of autoscrubbers from NSS.
Wrangler 1708 AB/AE
Wrangler 2008 AB/AE
Wrangler 2016 DB/AB/AE
Wrangler 2625 DB
Wrangler 2730 DB
Wrangler 3330 DB

Burnisher

A floor burnisher restores the shine on a wax finished floor. It has abrasive discs (different colors for different applications) that “burn” the surface. This machine you usually walk behind and push like a lawn mower.

Recommended Product
We recommend the Galaxy 1500 Burnishers from NSS

Finish Applicators

Even the best floor finishes will provide poor results when applied with an inadequate tool. That’s why we decided to start offering finish applicators. Whether you’re applying floor finish, disinfectants, sealer or any other liquid, you’ll not only get much better results but also unmatched labor savings.

Recommended Product
We recommend The ProSpeedTM/MC Floor Finish Applicator System

Vacuums

A vacuum is a device that most every one has in their homes in addition to their businesses. Industrial vacuum cleaners are essentially the same as the vacuum cleaners for the home, but they are tougher and more durable, because they have to withstand more extreme usage. An industrial vacuum uses two motors, unlike residential vacuums that use one motor. Industrial vacuum cleaners also use circuit boards to dispense power to the motors, which is more advanced than home systems.

Recommended Line
We recommend the CleanMax Zoom

Multi-purpose Machine

This is an all in one machine that can fulfill all of the functions served by a vacuum, auto scrubber, burnisher and finish applicator.

Recommended Line
We recommend the Advance Adphibian. This is the only product on the market in this category of floor machines.

No matter what your floor cleaning needs are Thornton Brothers can provide you with the best quality at the best price. Call us today at (800) 282-7343.
