Commercial & Industrial Floor Scrubbers Perth — WACER
WACER is Perth’s leading supplier of commercial and industrial floor scrubbers — stocking the widest range of walk-behind and ride-on scrubber dryers in WA, from compact cordless machines suited to tight retail spaces through to large ride-on models capable of cleaning 30,000 square metres per session in airports, warehouses, and major commercial facilities. Brands include RCM, Viper Nilfisk, Numatic, MIRA, Rotowash, DRYFT, and MotorScrubber — all backed by WACER’s local service and spare parts team in Bentley.
A commercial floor scrubber (also called an auto scrubber or scrubber dryer) dispenses cleaning solution onto the floor, scrubs it with rotating brushes or pads, and then vacuums the dirty water back into a recovery tank — all in a single forward pass. This three-step process leaves floors genuinely clean and dry in one operation, without the wet residue, cross-contamination, and labour of mop-and-bucket cleaning. For any business or cleaning contractor cleaning more than 100 square metres of hard floor regularly, a commercial floor scrubber is the most cost-effective and hygienic cleaning investment available.
Why Replace Mops with a Floor Scrubber?
- Dramatically faster — a floor scrubber covers far more area per hour than mopping, reducing labour time and cost
- Cleaner result — dirty water is immediately recovered into a separate tank rather than spread back across the floor
- Safer floors — scrubbers leave floors drier than mopping, reducing slip hazards for staff and visitors
- More hygienic — fresh solution is applied with every pass; no dirty mop water is reused across the floor
- Lower water and chemical consumption — modern scrubbers use precisely metered solution, significantly less than bucket mopping
- One-pass cleaning — scrub and dry in a single forward pass, no follow-up required
- Consistent results — operator-independent clean quality regardless of staff experience level
- Suits virtually all hard floor types — tile, vinyl, concrete, epoxy, rubber, timber, and more

Choosing the Right Scrubber: Small, Medium, or Large?
The right floor scrubber depends primarily on the area you need to clean and the layout of the space. WACER’s range is organised into three size categories:
Small Floor Scrubbers — compact walk-behind machines for tight spaces, small offices, retail, cafes, and areas where a larger machine cannot manoeuvre. The MIRA 40, NCC440NX, DRYFT S-Motion, and MotorScrubber range sit in this category. Ideal for floors under 500 m² per session.
Medium Floor Scrubbers — walk-behind and compact ride-on machines for schools, gyms, retail stores, and medium-sized commercial facilities. The RCM Link series, RCM ICON 1002, GIGA, and Viper Nilfisk AS530R and AS710R suit this bracket. Covers 500–3,000 m² per session efficiently.
Large Floor Scrubbers — ride-on machines for warehouses, airports, hospitals, shopping centres, and large commercial facilities. The Viper Nilfisk AS850R and AS1050R, RCM Jumbo 962, and RCM Drive T handle 3,000–30,000 m² per session and above.
If you’re unsure which size suits your facility, call WACER on (08) 9458 4400. Our team asks the right questions — floor area, layout, surface type, cleaning frequency, and budget — and recommends the right machine. Free on-site demonstrations available across Perth.
Disc Brush vs Cylindrical Brush — Which Is Right for Your Floor?
Most commercial scrubbers use either disc (rotary) brushes or cylindrical (roller) brushes, and the choice matters for your floor type.
Disc brushes are the most common and versatile — they work well on smooth sealed floors including tile, vinyl, concrete, and epoxy. Most machines in WACER’s range use disc brushes as standard.
Cylindrical brushes are better suited to profiled or textured surfaces — rubber safety flooring, grouted tile, and uneven surfaces — because the roller-shaped brush makes contact along its full width on undulating surfaces that disc pads would bridge over. Selected RCM models like the Jumbo 962 offer a roller brush option.
Finance Options Available
WACER offers flexible finance options on commercial floor scrubbers — allowing businesses and cleaning contractors to access the machine they need without the full upfront cost. Finance payments may be fully tax deductible for business use. Contact WACER on (08) 9458 4400 to discuss finance options for your specific machine.
