[labnetwork] cleanroom floor scrubber?

[Kyle Keenan]

Hello All,

We are finding that the flooring in our cleanroom needs to be scrubbed
occasionally, and we are currently doing this work by hand. I'm thinking of
getting something like this floor machine
<https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/global-industrial-153-17-floor-machine?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22800079602&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5JXFBhCrARIsAL1ckPsXZxHmRgM62UuZkxj2bFZr-rl1DazmXzpik7ph5Cde9U9DTkJrugMaAu9QEALw_wcB>
to help make it more manageable. According to the manufacturer of the
flooring, using such a machine with a "red pad" and specialized cleaning
solution is one of the recommended methods. In light of this, my question
is, is there any downside to using that machine in a cleanroom setting?
>From what I can tell, the motor is fully sealed, so I don't think there
would be any concerns with particulate generation. I am interested to know
about your thoughts and experiences.

Thank you,
