The cylindrical brushes of this great little tile and grout scrubber provide 4-6 times more contact pressure than rotary brush scrubbing, handling any flat floor surface with ease. And uneven surfaces such as paver bricks, rubber flooring and quarry tile can be handled by this machine, too. Cylindrical brushes far outlast rotary pads, using on average one set of brushes for every 100 floor pads. Effective on commercial-grade carpeting or entrance matting, the BR 13/1 MW can be used as an interim encapsulation carpet cleaner to increase the lifecycle, health and beauty of your carpeting. Pair this machine with a soil encapsulation pre-spray, and the BR13/1's cylindrical brushes agitate and "pile lift" the carpet for an interim solution for high-traffic carpeted spaces. The soundproof housing allows the BR 13/1 MW to run at a whisper-quiet 69 dB, perfect for day time cleaning in environments including hospitals, nursing homes, schools and hotels. It not only excels at maintaining floors, it delivers superior operator comfort with an ergonomic handle and simple control elvers making operation a breeze.
