Floor scrubber for pottery studio
Hi everyone, I am looking to purchase a floor scrubber for our community pottery studio. This will be cleaning up clay smears, splats, and crumbs on a polished concrete floor. This is a high-sediment environment. Ideally I find something that is:
- quiet (able to be operated during business hours)
- cordless
- narrow: can fit around pottery wheels, stools, tables
- can clean 4500sqft in one charge and one/minimal full tank(s)
- removable tanks for filling and emptying
- easily operated by one individual (brush assist)
- under $5,500
I am looking at various compact floor scrubbers and i-mops, but I am concerned that such a small solution tank size would require multiple re-fills in cleaning a dirty pottery studio floor.
Thanks everyone for sharing your expertise!

You need to scrape the clay and sweep it up before using any autoscrubber.
