Restore, Shine, and Protect Your Floors With Commercial Floor Burnishers From SweepScrub!

Flooring is expensive to replace, and the state of your floors can impact customer perceptions. That’s why it’s worth investing in regular maintenance. A floor burnisher machine can help you bring out a smooth, high-gloss shine on hard floors.

It works at a really high rate of speed to restore the floor’s original luster while making it more durable. Commercial floor burnishers are a must-have in any high-traffic space like retail stores, hospitals, and office buildings.

But it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all your options with so many different machines at your disposal. These aren’t cheap, and you need one you can count on to work reliably for years to come. Your search ends at SweepScrub!

We take the guesswork out of finding the right solution with an extensive lineup from industry-leading brands like Clarke, Viper, Tornado, Karcher, and Tennant. These burnishers are built to last while providing remarkable results, use after use.

However, we also have our own private-label lineup of commercial floor burnishers that offer similar performance at a much more affordable price point. 

Across our entire catalog, you’ll also gain access to expert support and competitive pricing when you source your floor cleaning equipment at SweepScrub. So, elevate your floor care routine today!

What are the Different Types of Floor Burnishers at SweepScrub?

The optimal floor burnisher machine for your needs depends on the type of floor you’re caring for, the layout of your space, and your power needs. You can break it down into three different categories:

Battery-powered burnishers 

These offer exceptional maneuverability and convenience without the hassle of cords. They’re our recommendation for large areas where unrestricted movement is necessary, such as hospitals, schools, and retail spaces.

Just make sure the machine you choose has a long-lasting battery life and works efficiently so you can cover more ground in less time and with fewer interruptions.

Propane-powered burnishers

These powerhouse machines operate at higher RPMs than electric models for a deeper, more reflective shine in less time. Our customers that choose these tend to use them in industrial and commercial settings where efficiency and high-gloss finishes are a priority.

However, they do need a bit more ventilation since they put out emissions. That being said, you can’t beat their performance in large-scale floor maintenance. 

Electric burnishers 

The perfect balance between power and efficiency. They have less maintenance needs than propane-powered burnishers and you never have to worry about running out of battery or fuel. 

The downside, of course, is that they have a cord that might hold you back from a convenience perspective. That’s why they’re best suited to smaller or medium-sized spaces with plenty of outlets to connect to.

Burnishing your floor isn’t just about keeping up appearances. Sure, first impressions matter, and all it takes is one bad experience for a customer to change their opinion on your company. Commercial floor burnishers are an excellent investment for that reason alone.

But, regular floor burnishing also extends the life of your flooring, reduces the need for frequent deep cleaning, and creates a safer, more professional environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does burnishing do to a floor?

It smooths and polishes a floor’s surface to enhance shine. The machines apply a pad to the floor with high-speed rotations to create a mirror-like gloss, leaving your floors looking impeccable. But, they also compress the floor’s finish for durability and resistance to scuffs, dirt, and daily wear. 

When should you burnish a floor?

There’s never a bad time to burnish your floors, but the specific schedule you follow is dictated by foot traffic and the type of finish (along with other floor care techniques you use). High-traffic areas may need burnishing 3-5 times per week, while once a week or less is fine for lower-traffic spaces.

What is the difference between buffing and burnishing a floor?

While they serve similar purposes, buffing is a low-speed process that often calls for a spray buffing solution. Commercial floor burnishers work at much higher speeds to generate a higher level of gloss, while also compacting the finish and smoothing imperfections. 

What is the difference between a floor scrubber and a floor burnisher machine?

Commercial floor scrubbers are also a must-have in your floor care arsenal, but they’re just for cleaning. They remove dirt, grime, and stains using water, cleaning solution, and rotating brushes or pads. On the other hand, burnishers actively restore the polish and shine on a floor.

How to burnish a hardwood floor?

Make sure your floor has the right protective finish first, such as polyurethane or wax. Use a high-speed floor burnisher machine with a soft pad designed for wood flooring. Then, work in smooth, overlapping passes to achieve an even, polished shine. Our customer service team can offer more specific recommendations if you’re still uncertain on your next steps!
