How to Clean a Two-Speed Floor Polisher Machine

An Elegant Cleaning technician cleans a floor polishing machine at the end of a job.

Keeping a clean work site starts before the cleaning crew enters the building. By keeping the floor polisher clean, worn parts will present themselves before they break down, causing lost time on a job. Elegant Cleaning Services, of Nutley, N.J., offers steps to keep a two-speed floor polisher clean and tidy.

• Gloves

Instructions

Cleaning A Floor Polisher

1. Mix some all-purpose cleaner as per the manufacturer's specifications. After dipping a rag into the mixture, tightly wring it out.

2. Wipe down the handles, pipe and base of the machine. Dry and buff with additional rags.

3. Mix some floor stripper as per the manufacturer's specifications. Dip a rag into the mixture and tightly wring it out.

4. Wrap the unplugged electrical wire with the rag dipped in the floor stripper. Pull the wire through to remove any sticky floor finish that is building up on the wire.

5. Wipe down the bottom portion of the machine and the bumper with the floor stripper rag; this section also builds up a sticky residue from floor finish.

6. 

   Brush the sides of the wheels as debris tends to build up from the spinning machine. Once the heavy dirt is removed, wipe down with a damp cloth.

7. Use the steel wool to scrub any stubborn spots, such as rust, on the metal housing.

Tips & Warnings

• Wipe down the machine after each job to keep it looking its best.

• Wear gloves and goggles when working with cleaning chemicals.
