Floor buffer

Floor buffer

A floor buffer or floor polisher is an electrical appliance that is used to clean and maintain non-carpeted floors, such as hardwood, marble or linoleum.

Somewhat resembling a large upright, wide-based vacuum cleaner with handlebar controls and requiring two-handed steering, a floor buffer uses one or more variable-speed circular rotary brushes to dislodge dirt and dust from flat surfaces. It can also be used in conjunction with chemical cleaning products to restore the floor to a smooth, glossy finish.

Floor buffers are used in schools, hospitals, offices and public buildings. Scaled-down versions are available for home use.
