How to Choose the Right Floor Scrubber Squeegees?

Wear-Resistance

The higher the material’s abrasion resistance, the longer the squeegee’s lifespan. We utilize an ultra-high molecular weight nano-curing agent, ensuring excellent wear resistance, especially in wet abrasion environments.

Hardness&Resilience

If the Squeegee Blade is too hard and lacks resilience, it may be challenging to assemble and won’t adhere well to the surface. Conversely, if it’s too soft, it can be easily drawn in by negative pressure. Therefore, a Squeegee with moderate hardness and good resilience is your best choice.

Tear-Resistance

Because we incorporate many perforations into our Squeegee Blades, if the material lacks adequate tear resistance, it can easily break at these points during operation. However, we have overcome this limitation.

Sharp Edge

Regardless of the material used for Squeegee Blades, any rough edges or other defects can prevent our Squeegee Blades from properly adhering to the floor, resulting in leaks. Therefore, sharp and tidy trimming is essential to ensuring the efficient performance of our Floor Scrubber Squeegees.

A5: Yes, different squeegee materials adapt differently to flooring surfaces. For instance, some materials may not be suitable for rough surfaces or specific types of floors.

A6: No, different floor scrubbers may require squeegees of different thicknesses or models. It is recommended to confirm with the floor scrubber’s vendor before purchasing.

A7: Yes, to ensure optimal cleaning results and machine efficiency, it is recommended to regularly inspect and replace the rubber sheets based on frequency of use and environmental conditions.

A8: If the squeegee wear is significant, it is advised to replace the entire piece to ensure cleaning effectiveness and machine stability.

A9: Generally, squeegees for floor scrubbers are consumables. It is recommended to follow the usage instructions for installation and not to reuse them, as old squeegees may lose their original elasticity and sealing effects. Replacing them is the most economical usage plan.

A10: The lifespan of a squeegee depends on the usage frequency, cleaning environment, and maintenance conditions. Normally, with proper use and maintenance, a squeegee could last from several months to a year.

A11: If the squeegee shows signs of cracking, damage, hardening, or excessive wear that leads to poor cleaning results or inability to effectively squeegee off moisture, then it is time to replace the floor scrubber squeegee.

A12: Yes, most floor scrubbers are designed to allow users to replace the squeegees. However, when replacing them, one must follow the manufacturer’s manual to ensure correct installation and not to affect machine performance.

A13: In theory, yes, but it is not recommended for non-professionals, as inaccurate cutting may result in poor sealing effects and reduced lifespan.

  • Material: Choose a material that matches your cleaning environment.
  • Size: Ensure the length and thickness of the Squeegee matches your Floor Scrubber.
  • Brand and model compatibility: Select a squeegee compatible with your scrubber’s brand and model.
  • Price: Since Squeegees are consumable items, choosing products with better cost-effectiveness can help reduce costs. DEF Rubber produces high-quality Natural Rubber Sheets and Floor Scrubber Squeegees, offering cost-effective products.

A15: Rubber sheets come in various color choices. DEF Rubber’s most common color is Red Natural Rubber Sheets, but the color itself usually does not affect performance. The choice of color might be for aesthetic reasons, identification, or to visually complement the equipment.

A16: To measure the correct size of a floor scrubber’s rubber squeegee, you should measure the length and width of the old strip and check its thickness to ensure the new squeegee will be compatible with the machine.

A17: Yes, DEF Rubber provides customization services that can Custom Rubber Sheets to your specific dimensions and material requirements.

A18: Custom Rubber Sheets may cost more due to specific production processes and potential design fees. However, this can vary depending on the quantity ordered. For special applications or non-standard sizes of floor scrubbers, a Custom Rubber Sheet might be the only available option.

A19: The maximum length of rubber sheets is typically constrained by manufacturing processes and equipment capabilities. While most suppliers offer standard sizes, unusually long squeegees might require a special order.

A20: Squeegees that are slightly longer or have small irregularities can be trimmed down to size. It’s important to ensure that the trimming is even and does not compromise the seal’s effectiveness.

A21: Although squeegees do not have an official expiration date, the material may degrade over time if stored for extended periods, which can affect performance. It is recommended to purchase squeegees as needed and avoid overstocking.

A22: Extended exposure to sunlight, particularly UV light, can cause rubber to age, become brittle, and crack. Proper storage and regular replacement are key to mitigating these effects.

A23: Spare squeegees should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. They should not be folded or placed under heavy objects to avoid deformation.

A24: Yes, the hardness of the rubber can influence noise levels. Softer rubber materials tend to produce less noise, whereas harder rubbers may increase operational noise.

  • For proper installation, you should:
  • Clean the squeegee contact surface to remove dust and grease.
  • Check squeegee accessories, like clamps and screws, for damage.
  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions precisely.

A26: A new squeegee might require a period of “breaking in” to fully adapt to the floor contour. If poor performance continues, verify the installation or contact the manufacturer for assistance.

A27: Under normal circumstances, the squeegee should not make noticeable noise. Unusual sounds may indicate incorrect installation or excessive friction with the floor.

A28: This could be due to improper installation, worn-out or damaged squeegee fittings, or excessive wear of the squeegee itself. Inspecting and replacing any faulty components should resolve the issue.

A29: Yes, the state of the squeegee directly affects the sealing efficiency and water absorption capability of the pick-up blade. A worn or improperly installed squeegee can lead to decreased water pick-up efficiency.

A30: An ineffective Squeegee Blade that fails to adequately remove water from the surface will require the floor scrubber to pass over the same area multiple times to achieve the desired cleanliness, which significantly reduces its efficiency.

A31: Adjustment may be required when the squeegee has worn down to maintain cleaning efficiency. If water streaks or unclean traces are observed on the cleaned surface, the squeegee should be adjusted.

A32: Extreme temperatures can impact the flexibility and effectiveness of the squeegee. High temperatures may cause it to become too soft, while low temperatures can harden it and reduce its effectiveness.

A33: In low-temperature environments, it is advisable to choose a rubber material that is resistant to low temperatures, such as Natural Rubber Sheet or certain synthetic rubbers that maintain good elasticity and sealing properties in cold conditions.

A34: A humid and hot environment may accelerate the aging process of the squeegee, leading to deformation or loss of elasticity. It is recommended to store the floor scrubber in a well-ventilated, dry area when not in use.

A35: Squeegee Blades are designed to work effectively in wet and slippery conditions, but if the floor is excessively slippery, the cleaning effectiveness of any type of squeegee may be compromised.

A36: If the Squeegee Blade reacts with chemicals in the cleaning area, it can lead to material degradation or damage. In such cases, stop using the scrubber immediately and switch to a rubber material that has higher resistance to the specific chemicals.

A37: Not all rubber types possess antistatic properties. When using a floor scrubber in potentially flammable or explosive environments, ensure that the squeegee has antistatic capabilities.

A38: This is often due to a chemical reaction between the squeegee material and the floor or abrasion of the squeegee’s own color. Using non-marking squeegees or regularly cleaning the squeegee can help reduce this occurrence.
