Collection: Floor Scrubbers & Polishers

Mopping a floor takes time and effort — and most of the time, the result does not last. Dirty water spreads around, the floor stays wet for ages, and an hour later it already looks like it needs doing again.

A floor scrubber works differently. It puts down the cleaning solution, scrubs the floor, and sucks up the dirty water — all in one go. The floor comes out cleaner, dries faster, and stays clean longer. For busy commercial spaces like offices, restaurants, schools, and retail stores, that difference is worth a lot.

This collection has floor scrubbers, walk-behind battery scrubbers, high-speed burnishers, and heavy-duty hand scrubbing tools for commercial and industrial use across Australia. Whether you need to scrub floors every day or polish them up on a regular schedule, there is something here that fits the job.

Why a Floor Scrubber is Better Than a Mop

Mopping has its limits. It moves dirty water from one spot to another, leaves the floor wet for a long time, and takes a lot of effort to cover a large area. In a busy workplace, that is a problem wet floors are a slip hazard, and staff need the space back quickly.

A commercial floor scrubber fixes all of that. The brush presses firmly onto the floor, scrubs properly, and the machine picks up all the dirty water right away. The floor dries much faster, and the clean lasts longer. Staff cover more area in less time, and the result is consistent every time not depending on how tired the person mopping is.

For floors that also need to look shiny like in a hotel, hospital, or shopping centre a floor polisher or burnisher takes care of that separately after cleaning.

Products in This Collection

Here are the four products currently available, with details on what each one does and who it is best suited for.

Comac Igea Walk-Behind Battery Floor Scrubber – 34cm Cylindrical Brush

The Comac Igea walk-behind battery floor scrubber is a compact, cordless scrubber built for smaller commercial spaces. It is designed to clean floors up to 300 sqm per charge — think small offices, cafes, bars, and retail shops where there is furniture to move around, tight corners, and not much room to work with a big machine.

The cylindrical brush design means it makes good contact with the floor, even on slightly uneven or textured surfaces. A flexible joint lets it scrub in different directions, so you are not stuck doing only straight-line passes. You can clean along walls and under tables without any hassle.

Because it runs on lithium-ion batteries, there are no cords to deal with. It charges quickly and runs for up to 60 minutes — enough to get through a full clean in most small spaces. The machine is light, folds down for storage, and has a handle and wheels so it is easy to carry between rooms or floors.

After it passes over the floor, surfaces are clean and dry almost straight away. That is important in any space where people are still walking around while the cleaning is being done.

Key uses:

• Offices, cafes, bars, and small retail shops
• Tight spaces where a big scrubber cannot fit
• Daily floor cleaning without cords getting in the way
• Any space where the floor needs to dry fast

Comac Vispa 35B Walk-Behind Battery Scrubber – 35cm Disc Brush

The Comac Vispa 35B walk-behind battery scrubber handles bigger spaces — up to 1000 sqm per charge. It scrubs the floor, sanitises it, and dries it all in one pass. For schools, restaurants, gyms, and medium-sized retail or hospitality spaces, that means less time cleaning and better results.

The 35cm disc brush scrubs well across most hard floor types. At the back of the machine, a squeegee and suction system picks up the dirty water as it goes — even around corners and bends. The floor is ready to walk on almost straight away after the machine passes over it.

One thing worth knowing: this machine runs at under 70 dB. That is quiet enough to use while customers are in the store or students are in nearby rooms, which matters a lot in real-world commercial environments.

The handlebar rotates 180 degrees, making it easier to clean in tight spots. The height is adjustable so different people can use it comfortably. There is also a Stop&Go feature — when you stop moving, the machine automatically pauses the water flow and the brush. Nothing is wasted, and there is no mess left on the floor when you stop mid-job.

It has an 8-litre solution tank and a 10-litre recovery tank. That is enough capacity to clean a big area without constantly stopping to refill. The battery runs for up to 60 minutes, and there is a built-in charger you can plug into any normal power point.

Key uses:

• Schools, restaurants, gyms, and medium-sized hospitality or retail spaces
• Scrubbing, sanitising, and drying the floor in one pass
• Cleaning while the space is still in use, thanks to low noise
• Longer cleaning sessions without needing to stop and refill

Comac CM1500V High-Speed Floor Burnisher

The Comac CM1500V high-speed floor burnisher is not a scrubber — it is a polishing machine. Once your floors are clean, this is what you use to make them shine.

It works by spinning a 500mm pad at 1500 rpm across the floor surface. That high-speed rotation is what brings the gloss back to hard floors — the kind of shine you see in hotels, shopping centres, hospitals, and office buildings where the floor always looks polished and well looked after.

It runs on 230V power with 1100W output, so it has plenty of power to keep that speed consistent across a large area. The 500mm working width means you cover more floor with fewer passes. At 35 kg, it is heavy enough that the pad stays pressed firmly against the floor on its own — you do not have to push down while you work.

It works on most hard floor surfaces — vinyl, marble, terrazzo, sealed concrete, and sealed timber. It is not for carpet or soft flooring.

Most facilities use a burnisher on a set schedule — not every day, but regularly enough that the floor keeps its appearance between full strip-and-seal treatments. Done consistently, it extends the life of the floor coating and means less frequent and less expensive maintenance over time.

Key uses:

• Restoring gloss and shine on vinyl, marble, terrazzo, and sealed concrete
• Scheduled polishing programs in hotels, hospitals, shopping centres, and offices
• Keeping floors looking professionally maintained between deep cleans
• Large floor areas that need polishing done quickly and evenly

Sabco Tuff Scrub Medium Duty Scrubbing Brush with Built-In Scraper

The Sabco Tuff Scrub medium duty scrubbing brush with built-in scraper is the hand tool in this collection. It is simple, tough, and useful for jobs that a machine cannot do — cleaning along edges, scrubbing grout lines between tiles, getting into corners, or dealing with a stubborn mark that needs direct attention before a machine pass.

What makes it more than just a regular scrubbing brush is the built-in scraper. When you come across dried-on food, scuff marks, wax build-up, rust, or other residue that the scrubbing pad cannot shift on its own, the scraper takes care of it. Both tools are in one piece, so you are not swapping between items to finish one spot.

It is medium-duty — strong enough for commercial kitchens, workshops, and hospitality environments, but not so heavy or bulky that it is awkward to use. The handle is comfortable and the scrubbing pad is made to last through regular use.

At $8.50, it is also one of the most practical things you can add to a commercial cleaning kit. No cleaning team should be without one.

Key uses:

• Cleaning edges, corners, and grout lines that machines miss
• Removing scuff marks, wax build-up, rust, and dried residue
• Spot scrubbing before a machine pass
• Kitchens, workshops, tiled floors, and hospitality venues

Which One Should You Choose?

Here is a simple breakdown to help you decide.

What You Need	Best Option	Where It Works
Daily scrubbing in small spaces	Comac Igea Battery Floor Scrubber	Offices, cafes, small shops
Scrubbing and drying in bigger spaces	Comac Vispa 35B Battery Scrubber	Schools, restaurants, gyms, retail
Making floors shiny after cleaning	Comac CM1500V High-Speed Burnisher	Hotels, hospitals, shopping centres
Edges, grout lines, and stubborn spots	Sabco Tuff Scrub with Built-In Scraper	Kitchens, tiled floors, workshops

A lot of commercial cleaning teams use more than one of these. The scrubber handles everyday maintenance, the burnisher goes over the floor on a set schedule to keep it looking polished, and the hand brush fills in the small spots the machine cannot reach.

Use the Right Cleaning Chemical With Your Scrubber

The cleaning solution you put in a floor scrubber makes a difference. If the product is too foamy, it can block the recovery tank and affect how the machine works. If it is too strong, it can damage the floor coating over time.

For machine scrubbing, always use a low-foam floor cleaner that is made for commercial use. You can find suitable options in our floor cleaner collection.

If your floors need to be stripped and resealed, the strippers and sealers range covers that part of the process. And if you need replacement pads for your scrubber or burnisher, check the floor pads collection for options that match your machine and floor type.

Conclusion

Good floor care in a commercial space comes down to using the right tools for the job. A mop will get the floor wet. A proper floor scrubber will get it clean — and keep it that way longer, with less effort and less time.

The products in this collection cover every part of that process. A compact battery scrubber for daily maintenance in small spaces. A larger walk-behind scrubber for bigger areas. A high-speed burnisher for facilities that need floors to stay polished. And a heavy-duty hand scrubber for the detail work that machines cannot do on their own.

Pick the right combination for your space and your schedule, and floor cleaning becomes a straightforward part of the day rather than the task everyone puts off.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between a floor scrubber and a burnisher?
   A floor scrubber cleans the floor — it puts down water and solution, scrubs with a brush or pad, and sucks up the dirty water. A burnisher polishes the floor after it has already been cleaned, using a fast-spinning pad to restore the shine. They do different jobs. Many commercial facilities use both as part of their regular floor care routine.
2. Which scrubber is better for a small office or cafe?
   The Comac Igea walk-behind battery floor scrubber is the right choice for small spaces. It is compact, lightweight, runs without a cord, and is easy to move around furniture and into tight corners. It covers up to 300 sqm on a single charge, which is plenty for most small commercial spaces.
3. Can I use any floor cleaner in a walk-behind scrubber?
   No. High-foam products can clog the recovery tank and reduce how well the machine works. Always use a low-foam floor cleaner made for commercial scrubbers. Our floor cleaner collection has options suited to different floor types and machine use.
4. How often should you use a floor burnisher?
   It depends on how much foot traffic the floor gets. In busy places like hotels and hospitals, burnishing is often done weekly or fortnightly. In quieter spaces, once a month may be enough. Regular burnishing keeps floors looking good and extends the life of the floor coating, which means less frequent and less costly strip-and-reseal jobs.
5. What floors can the Comac CM1500V burnisher be used on?
   It works on hard floors that can be polished — vinyl, marble, terrazzo, sealed concrete, and sealed timber. It is not suitable for carpet, rubber, or soft floor surfaces. If you are not sure about your floor type, test on a small area first or check with the supplier.
6. Is the Sabco Tuff Scrub suitable for commercial cleaning?
   Yes. It is designed for both household and commercial use, including kitchens, workshops, and hospitality venues. The medium-duty build handles tough scrubbing jobs well, and the built-in scraper makes it useful for removing residue that a scrubbing pad alone would not shift.
